In Padma Purana it is said:

"Persons who put tulasi beads on the neck, who mark twelve places of their bodies as Visnu temples with Visnu's symbolic representations [the four items held in the four hands of Lord Visnu--conch, mace, disc and lotus], and who have visnu-tilaka on their foreheads, are to be understood as the devotees of Lord Visnu in this world. Their presence makes the world purified, and anywhere they remain, they make that place as good as Vaikuntha."

 

I wish all the people in this world start putting tulsi beads around their necks and tilak on their bodies, each person who once said "Krishna" in his life (for one who says "Krishna" is a devotee, also according sastra).

 

But, if it happens, sahajism could occur. There must be vaisnava etiquete.

 

The lady I mentioned was a first-initiated disciple of ex-Harikesha Swami. She is convinced that he is not actually fallen, that he will come again, so she is not interested in looking for a poor devotee to continue her spiritual path.

 

Person that says he has a spiritual life, but neglects to hear from a poor devotee, is just like a mother that makes abortion of a baby (Srila Prabhupada used to say that one who does not care about his or her spiritual life is atma-ha). To be guided by show-bottle "guru" is same thing.

 

I pray that she will meet a poor Vaisnav to open her eyes. We all need guidance of siksa guru - very advanced devotees that were initiated by Srila Prabhupada, disciples of "fallen" gurus, new-born babies, persons with and without tulasi beads.
