Recommended Posts

Jaiva-dharma, Chp 20.

</P>Vijaya-kumara: What is the relationship between these first twenty limbs of devotional

service with the other limbs?

</P>

Babaji: The next forty-four limbs are actually included in these first twenty limbs. They

are described separately in order to give a more detailed explanation. Thirty limbs,

beginning with "One should decorate the body with tilaka which is the sign of the

Vaishnavas" and culminating in "One should offer a favourite article (such as food or a

garment)" are included within the path of Deity worship (arcana-marga). These limbs

are: 21. One should wear three strands of tulasi beads around his neck and decorate his

body with twelve tilaka markings. These is called "the sign of the Vaishnavas." 2. To

write "Hare Krishna", other names of Lord Krishna, or the names of the Panca-tattva on

the upper part of the body with sandalwood paste is called "marking the holy name on the

body."
