What are the qualifications for wearing one? Keep in mind, I'm just a fallen soul that loves Krsna.

the following:

 

- he worships krishna primarily.

- he abstains from meat, alcohol/drugs, illecit sex and gambling.

 

that is minimum.

 

one who wears three kanthi in the neck

is, is supposed to be, an initiated disciple of a guru in a bonafide vaishnav sampradaya. his sadhana is more serious than a householder who wears one kanthi.

I was taught that you can wear one strand if uninitiated and three if you are. I was also taught that this helps identify you as a devotee of Lord Krsna to the Yamadutas (assistants of Lord Yamaraja) should death come for you.

 

I mind has gone blank about two strands??
