Question: Many years ago I was telling you about how when we first installed Gaura Nitai, we dressed Them like sannyasis. Then I said to you, maharaj, it will be so nice if we can see Lord Caitanya again as a sannyasi! You said, why do you want to see Him in that condition? It was a suffering condition. Could you please elaborate on that instruction you gave.

Jayapataka Swami: When Lord Caitanya took sannyasa, they cut His hair. All the devotees said, no, no, no, not that beautiful hair! Sannyasa is an austerity we do to please Krsna. Actually it is not necessary for Him to do any austerity Lord Caitanya is Krsna Himself....
