you have natural tilak. It's a very good sign

Bhavananda das: This is the beginning of the construction of the first guest house at Mayapur. That was what you call the Lotus building. It was designed in Calcutta by an architect named Mr. Gujarati, who lived on the other side of the pukur from Albert Road. He designed that nice building and showed it to Prabhupada and he said, "Yes, this is a nice building." He said, "Build it." And this man, Mr. Gujarati, he had lines in his forehead and Prabhupada said, "Oh, you have natural tilak. It's a very good sign." We were still living up front in the straw house. We lived up in that straw house for a long time, even when the Deities were in this temple on the ground floor. That would be the summer because that's Kalbaishakh season with those big cyclones. It would be so hot, and then these huge black clouds would come up, and then it would just be this heavy downpour, and then you'd have some freshness for a few days.
