We must be practical. If you need a job you will have to put on a pair of pants during those hours.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-57948959126143657202018-11-12T14:54:48.756+01:002018-11-12T14:54:48.756+01:00Hello.

About 3 times I have gone for job interviews wearing dhoti, it resulted in me not getting the job. Your guidance will be greatly valued on this topic. Looking forward to your reply.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949496062687283939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-17496961281762364172012-04-01T02:50:53.248+02:002012-04-01T02:50:53.248+02:00Anon, for men the dress code is two folded or 3-fo...Anon, for men the dress code is two folded or 3-folded white dhoti for householders and non folded white cotton for renunciates. Top of the body is covered with uttariya or long white scarf.<br />For married ladies colored saree and for widows or single ladies white saree.<br />Yes uninitiated devotees can wear that too.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-27331766729210725622012-03-31T22:49:21.820+02:002012-03-31T22:49:21.820+02:00So what exactly is standard vaishnava dresscode?

So thinking that Vaishnava dress, which is an integral part of bhakti practise, is an inferior, dispensible, external matter, is similarly mayavada. Hence I quoted Sri Rupa;s verse 'seva sadhaka rupena' - one must serve with the external form as well as with the spiritual form.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-1461038670771376212012-03-16T08:53:06.300+01:002012-03-16T08:53:06.300+01:00Advaita Das – Clothes matter.

Appearance influences our psychology.<br />And those postmodern devotees who preach ‘the substance vs. the form’ are invited to show me this philosophy or attitude anywhere in Vaishnava shastra or history. There is nothing external in bhakti – seva sadhaka rupena. “The substance vs the form” is actually sheer mayavada, thinking that something in bhakti sadhana is false. The bottom line is - it is very hard for western devotees to give up their western samskAra, even if they are in the top league and supposedly 'seniormost'."<br />Did'nt understood.
