Srila Prabhupada On Mayapur

20/12/71 DELHI – GOVINDA DEVÉ DÄSÉ Yes, Çréväsa Pandit has sikha. Vaiñëava must have çikhä. Advaita Prab- hu has a full white beard. He was an old man. He was practically older than the father of Lord Caitanya. He was an elder gentleman in the town of Navadvépa, elder of the brähmaëa community. All should wear Tulasi kunti beads, not less than two strands. Three, four strands or my Guru Mahäräja had five strands. Only Lord Caitanya and Lord Nétyänanda wear crowns and nosepins. Lord Caitanya and Lord Nétyänanda can be decorated with all kinds of jewelry. 12/2/72 MADRAS – GOVINDA DEVÉ DÄSÉ Regarding the Païca-tattva deities, the pictures you have sent are very nice. Because they live in Bengal, dhoti, shirt and chaddar are the stan- dard dress, and if they are dressed in this style with different colors, that is nice. They should normally always be dressed in dhoti, but if occasion- ally you dress them in skirt-dress outfit, that can be also. They may all five wear jewellery, why not?
