Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 What is the reason for this according to sastra? Seems all Vaishnavas keep this tuft..why? Quote
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Now that's a tuft question for sure. Quote
livingentity Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 expresses a submission to the Lord and detachment from material world. From ISKCON education: The sikha is a tuft of hair worn by the male devotees who otherwise have shaved heads. For thousands of years, devotees of Krishna have worn their hair in this way as a sign of surrender to the spiritual master, who is pleased to see his disciples entering into Krishna conscious life. To the public, such signs as the sikha are constant reminders that the devotees of God are present, and therefore the sikha indirectly reminds everyone of Krishna. Quote
