Hare krishna gurumaharaj, Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
In answer of your question: What does it mean to wear apricot colored clothes?
I understand this topic like this: In Spain we have a proverb “El hábito no hace al monje pero ayuda” for example if I a police while I working I will wear my uniform, but if I am out of work with “civil” clothes and I presence a crime I must to act. But the uniform can help me… for example if I am in the street and some person need help when he watchs my uniform he will identify me like a police and he could ask me for help.
For the orange color I think that only have a relevant meaning inside the devotees cause for a person that doesn’t know anything about Hare Krishna the color will not be very relevant (maybe they will be more shock with the dhoti, chadar, kurta that the color of them) , now im living in an ashram and I do monastic life, and I would like to use this “uniform” to express my actual “social” position inside our movement.
HpS - AGTSP paoho. Very nice thoughts. I think it is correct, but would add that it seems that most of the people in the world now have some idea of oriental monks, so, when we walk arount in peach colored robes we often get asked, "Are you a Buddhist?". We can answer, "Yes, we are followers of Gauranga Buddha, Caitanya Buddha".
Wear Brahmacari clothes! Take Sannyasa! Be a friend to all the women in the world.
I hope that your health is now very better than before!! Now im a little ill (out of energy and with many mucus) maybe is the spring.
Hare Krishna Gurumaharaj, Thanks for your time, I value this a lot.
Your servant Mantri Rama Das
