Our Tilak:

After sometime Kripanand Swami arrived at Panchala. Maharaj was also there. All the groups saints had come there to celebrate the festival of flowers and colours - Fuldol- Maharaj gave yellow chalk like sandalwood to all the saints and instructed them to make tilaks. Next day Maharaj did not find tilak on anybody's forehead. When Maharaj asked for an explanation, all of them countered by saying: "With what should we make it?" Maharaj reminded them that He had given yellow clay chalk on the previous day. All the saints were embarassed to here this because they had eaten away the chalks, considering it to be prasadi from Maharaj. So Maharaj again distributed chalks to them. On the next day everybody had done variegated tilaks. On seeing this Maharaj had a hearty laugh. Then Maharaj Himself, with His own hand, did a very good tilak on the forehead of Gunatitanand Swami and put a round mark in the middle of that tilak with kumkum. He did this to make other saints realise that Swami was His favourite saint. Then he pointed a finger at Swami and pointed out, "This is our tilak," and added, "there is no God superior to Me and there is no sadhu to match him." In this way Maharaj conveyed to others His own matchless identity as Purushottam and the special identity of Swami as Akshar. The dedicated saints could see the secret behind the words of Maharaj.
