Please formulate the whole curriculum because we have to immediately submit to the Draft department and if this is accepted that will be great gain for our society. “Bhakti-sastri” is awarded after extensive study of Bhagavad-gita, Easy Journey, and Nectar of Devotion. “Bhakti-vaibhava” is awarded after study of Vedanta-sutra and Srimad-Bhagavatam on a preliminary basis; and “Bhaktivedanta” the highest title, is awarded after extensive study of Caitanya-caritamrta.” (Letter to Brahmananda, Hawaii, March 23, 1969)

WHY WAS SRILA PRABHUPADA MARTYRED ?
Prabhupada: ‘I know. I came here to take their suffering.
Even when I leave, I will keep continuing taking their suffering, and make them free so they can keep chanting Hare Krishna"

What if a devotee can not remember Lord Krsna at the time of Death ?
Srila Prabhupada...."So if you become Krsna conscious once, even if at that time you are so-called unconscious, still, Krsna is with you. He is not forgetful. He is not forgetful. Therefore He will give you the proper result. Don't think that at the, at the time of your death, because you are so completely out of consciousness, therefore there is frustration. No. There is no frustration. There is no frustration. Because your activities are already recorded by the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is situated within your heart, so therefore there is no question of frustration. You just practice. While you are in good health, while you are in good body, while you are in good consciousness, just practice this Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, and the result is guaranteed."

Master tamo where can i get the paint to put on the talika sign of vishnu
Chanting makes super happy
Chanting
Right. Well, we use clay from Vrndavana, or radhakunda, which is black in color instead of the usual whitish. This can be purchased from devotee book stores online, and temple book stores. I always brought a chunk of it with me when i came home from India.
Oh awsome
You can use normal clay from a clean part of the river, or earht from a mountain top, or from underneath a tree.
yes, chanting is the only way i know that is eternal and spiritual and no charge.
Your local temple should have tilak available
one can also use plain water, but of course there is no observable marking
Tamo why did a devottee once told me that she wanted to touch my feet when i first came on ur site?
there are mantras. The tilak goes on several places on the body with mantras accordingly.
The protection manrta done on canto 5
the standard tilak is all protection
