HARIDASU SHOULD BE SIMPLE- ADVICE OF BABA

In MAHARASHTRA HARIDASU don't appear like simple haridasu as in our state ANDHRA PRADESH. they used to wear a long coat over shirt, kanduva and dhoti with a big hat on their head called as " peta" over there and hold an instrument tambura.

One day DASA GUNA also dressed up in the same way and went to BABA for permission to give harikadha presentation in SHIRIDI. BABA looked at him and smiled and asked " you are looking like groom with this dressing where are you going" to that he replied " i am going to tell harikadha" then BABA said " why are you wearing all the garments? remove all of them with hat also. haridasu should be simple and should not wear any garment like others" immediately DASA GUNA removed them and took blessings. later he never dressed like that. he used to wear only garland and hold the tambura and recite all harikathas. HARIDASU is the resemblance of NARADA MAHA MUNI who chants HARI mantra and travel from one place to other. so BABA advice to haridasu is to be simple and recite with devotion.
