Dandavats. PAMHO.

All glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga!

Maharaj, I am wondering what is the standard for someone like myself who is not yet intiated but following the four reg. principles, chanting 16 rounds, etc in regards to wearing tulsi mala. I purchased a long strand from the temple giftshop and it wrapped 3 times around my admittedly not-thick neck. Am I in offense to be wearing three strands, or should I get a single strand neckbeads until I am initated.

Thank you for your standards guidance in this matter! Haribol!

ASA - Jaya.  AgtSP!!!!!        paoho.   We don't know.  Very nice to hear from you.  We are back in Peru.  Lima.    Until tommorrow.   We don't know.   We think that two strands are for uninitiated devotees, but basically you should wear what you have until you get a more authoritative answer!     One more letter!    We are tired.  It is 9.30PM.    Thank you so much for your Sankirtana and association.
