Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
What kind of person should I choose as a friend?
Befriend the devout
Choose a friend who wears a tilak and mala and takes the name of Govind. Such a friend will at least bring you to the katha, will not take you to a beer bar, and will lead you to Ram ji's temple.
If you want to make a friend, make one who has a tilak on his forehead, a mala around his neck and a tied shikha. At the very least he will bring you to the katha.
