has not Sanatan Goswami forbadden the wearing of the ocre cloth
It is true the scriptures have even forbidden the taking of the renounced order in the age of Kali ,However this prohibition is restricted to those who have the conception of Sanyassa or renounced order as the renouncing of all material works.The fact of the matter is, all the prominent Vaishnava Acaryas took to the renounced order in the light of unalloyed service to the Supreme Lord. What to speak,Even Mahaprabhu took to this order to exemplify dedicated service to the Lord to the common people.A geniune devotee of the Lord is not within the jurisdiction of any caste and order in life ,being transcendental to all these .Therefore ,it is not necessary nor is he obligated to wear the stigma of the Varnashrama system as the ochre robes.The reason why we are wearing the robes is that we are neither Guru nor Vaishnava in any way but hoping to be the servant of the Vaishnavas while humbly identifying ourselves within the Varnashrama system.We are contended to be the real servant of the genuine servant of the Vaishnavas.
