 | This next story is called “The devotee who kept his tilak”. There was once a factory where all the workers were Hindus and mostly they were vaishnavas. The vaishnavas therefore had freedom to wear their vaishnava tilak to work and they also displayed other vaishnava paraphernalia like neck beads and so on. But after some time the new proprietor was a Muslim. So on taking over the business the Muslim owner declared that he would not allow the workers to come to work anymore wearing vaishnava tilak. Most of the workers obeyed and on the given date announced by the owner they appeared at the factory without their tilak. One employee however thought that he would take his chances and depend on Krishna. He went to work on that day still wearing very clear white vaishnava tilak. After seeing all the workers assembled together the new Muslim proprietor said: “This one devotee who is wearing vaishnava tilak is very courageous. He can continue to wear the tilak every day, but the rest of you are forbidden to wear it anymore.”
