I hope Vanamali is going to inspire many more girls who want to do , bat are shy to do it. I do it quite often atleast once in a year. But my wife did it once, and she enjoyed it. Now a days it is also becoming a modern fashon. It acts like a good tonic for head too. Vanamali you can comment on it, and can send images to people like sneha, who want to charge themselves

Hello,

I am going to tirumala soon. This is my first visit. I am planning to shave my head there but not dare enough to do that. I would like to know how they do it there. Can somebody explain this & send some pictures before, during & after. So that I would not be worried much.

 

Thanks,

Vidya

dear vanamali,

i came across the site quite accidently ,and was surprised to find you asking for help to encourage u for the tonsure. Its yuor consience (inner). be clear of your thoughts, and you will have no guilt. me nad my wife too wished our hair to the lord. but because my wife is afraid of as what will society think? so if once concience permits just go to kalyanayakatta, and bow down to the barbers blade, or just ignore it with no guilt of cheating the lord.

Myself and wife have taken a vow to go to tirupati. While I shall definitely get my head shaved my wife is not too sure and need some encouragement as she thinks female headshaving at tirupati is practiced by only poor and low caste women? I would be happy if some ladies may reply about their experience and whether they are looked down by society. Then it will be easier for me to convince my wife about shaving her head at tirupati. Incidentally we are from north india.

I don't know who has given you this idea of shaving your head and wearing

white garments. In India only the widows are allowed to shave head. You

remain the beautiful maid servant of Krishna. That is your business, and you

should dress yourself always very nicely so that Krishna by seeing you will

be pleased. Don't try to be ugly before Krishna. Krishna does not like ugly

gopis. We are transcendental artists, musicians, writers, so everything

should be beautiful for Krishna. After all we are members of Krishna's

family, just like Krishna had 16,000 wives and each wife has thousands of

servants and maid-servants and all of them are very beautiful for serving

Krishna and His Queens. So the servants of the gopis and queens cannot be

ugly, they are as beautiful as the queens. In the Vaikuntha world there is

no need of serving anything because everything is already clean and

beautiful. It is so clean that just like a mirror when the maid-servants

would sweep the floor they could see the reflections of their bodies. So

remain always compact in Vaikuntha yajna, simply by thinking of the Glories

of the Lord. Don't try to do anything artificially. That is sahajiya, which

means a class of men that take everything very cheap. You want to

perform sacrifice so continuously read our Vedic scriptures and perform the

Vaikuntha yajna.

 

Hope you are well.

Your ever well-wisher,

 

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
