O! Say can you Sikha?! (Vote on my hair!)
I got the ambition to have a sikha again. For the less-informed, a sikha is one of those Hare Krishna pony tails. Most are fairly long and are tied in a knot at the end.
I haven’t had one in 11 years and I kinda miss it.
See?
So.. you’ll see to your right that there is a poll. Please vote. Yay! Finally something WORTH voting for!
Is my sikha just right, too fat, too thin, too high or too low?
Want another look?
So… what do you think?
I used a typical (for devotees) stainless steel cup measuring 2.75 inches across. That’s what a lot of devotees use, but to me, it seems a tad too big. But then, maybe that’s because it’s just starting.
So what should I do? Help!

And as a special “thank you” for helping me out, here is a class by Varsana Swami from the late 80′s about the importance of Nityananda. It’s one of the best classes I’ve ever heard. Most of it comes from Caitanya-bhagavata. Great stuff.

This class will only be up for a short time. Hurry!

edit: This was taken in 1999, the last time I tried to grow out a sikha. It lasted for a few hours.
I’m huge now. Wow.
