I recently purchased some t-shirts with lord narshimdeva and lord jaganath on the front.

I also found some t-shirts with lord krsna or the mahamantra printed on it.

Is is fine to wear these t-shirts and visit the washroom as we dont even carry the bead bag there.

Also when we offer dandavat lord picture is floored.

When we sleep with the t-shirt on which the mahamantra is printed on the back, the mahamantra is pushed to the floor.

 

The positive aspect of wearing these t-shits in offices and places apart from temple is that we spread the message of krsna consciousness where in atleast some people enquire about krsna or the mahamantra.

 

Kindly explain the same

    during my stay in VOICE when I was student, we had asked similar question to HG Shyamrup Prabhu and its an offense to ware such T-shirts especially in washroom or in a hot sunny day when we sweat a lot. Also when we need to wash the T-shirt, we have to take it to the bath room or other such place and would be washing with other dirty cloths. So he suggested us from refraining from such t-shirts.

     

    Not only that, he told us to avoid using the Jagannath or Lord Narashima doller (which has their face) which many of the devotees put on their kantee mala. Some devotees say that it would help them during chanting to concentrate if they would wear such dollars. so we were suggested to keep them with beedbag so that we can wear them during chanting and take them off latter. However narashima kavach that is available in mayapur as a capsule can be worn at any time and any place and there is no problem at all.

     

    Hare Krishna.

    Read of this incident on http://www.radhanathswami.us/page/jokes-1?id=3251713%3APage%3A20517...

    As told by H.H ChandraMauli Maharaj.
    Once H.H Radhanath Maharaj and H.H ChandraMauli Maharaj were taking lunch together .......ChandraMauli Mahraj was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Krishna on the front, while sipping some water he spilled some over his t-shirt.
    H.H Radhanath Maharaj immediately looked at him and said "Oh you just gave Krishna an abhishek".
    H.H ChandraMauli Maharaj said that that was enough I immediately renounced wearing any such shirts.

  • Jai Shri Krishna..

     

    To purify ourselves we chant the Maha Mantra,  Krishna is present in every atom.. everything is made up of atoms. Therefore He is worship able  anywhere and in any situation.  Try as we might, we are incapable to impure any thing spiritual.  The difference is in our thoughts,  if we think of disrespecting willingly then we will be held accountable.  It's all to do with our state of mind.  Always be practical and above all ask Krishna for forgiveness for any mistakes done knowingly or unknowingly.

    Hare Krishna,

     

    Thanks for your practical queries, Prabhu

     

    I would also like to know more regarding same.

     

    In addition i would say, at least we should not wear clothing with pictures of Kṛṣṇa on our sweaty body, or into the stool room as it gives some odd feelings in our heart and also make us feel some thing offensive ...

    Eager to hear from devotees ...
