Vaishnava Rituals and Practices

Vaishnavites can often be identified by certain sectarian marks on their foreheads and bodies. Vaishnava marks vary, but usually include a U, Y, or T shape drawn in white along with a red dot representing Lakshmi Like all religions influenced by the Indian religious worldview Vaishnavites recognize the importance of meditation in religious practice.

 However, Vaishnavas generally emphasize religious devotion religious feeling and morality over doctrine and contemplation; to put it another way, they focus on the heart, not the head. Vaishnavas love to recount the love story between Rama or Sita or daydream about Krishna's attractive features and amorous antics Religious ecstasy and feelings of companionship with Vishnu are the main goals of Vaishnava religious ritual
