Why followers of Krishna mark tilaka on head?

Post Views: 363

One should decorate the body with tilaka, which is the sign of the Vaisnavas. The idea is that as soon as a person sees these marks on the body of the Vaisnava he will immediately remember Krishna. Lord Caitanya said that a Vaisnava is he whom, when seen, reminds one of Krishna. Therefore, it is essential that a Vaisnava mark his body with tilaka to remind others of Krishna. In marking such tilaka, sometimes one may write Hare Krishna on the body.
