Usually you wear it on the head, but if it is missing, you can try other parts of the body.

Yeah, i also have been recently and not so suspiciously told by my devotee who'b4s my friend that i must cover it with something when wearing it in not so devotional karmic clothes, like in the streets..
Could it be so? Couse see.. I just bought him a new cap of his for the sake.. can it be taken as a commercial incentive or something?

;)

Must cover? Never heard of that.
user [560] · 2010-05-20
Well yes, let me explain.

Is more simple than that, just so to wear sikha on karmi clothes like not wearing the normal, traditional clothing along that wearing the sikha and that so, I ve been told to wear something like on the head instead of other just using normal devotional clothing. Oh, yeah funny.

You know what i mean, ?

Approximately. You need to upgrade your English.

I know of a brahmacari who works as a bus driver. While at work, he wears "karmi clothes" and a cap.

O'b4key, so what about the sizes and types of consciousness on wearing it seen on the gaudiya-vaisnava traditions?
user [154] · 2010-05-21
Why do you want to wear sikha? Anyway there are so many ways to wear it, large, small, tiny, very large, proper medium size, with one knot, with two knots, without a knot, very long and very short. All are fine, provided there is someone to use it, to pull you out of this material universe...

ever since I'b4ve been already doing it.. to wear I'b4ve really felt the spiritual power it has with it.
Is something very powerful!
