Šrū Caitanya-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā. Ch.20]
bhadra karāñā tāṅre gaṅgā-snāna karāila śekhara āniyā tāṅre nūtana vastra dila
SYNONYMS
bhadra   karāñā —making gentle;  tāṅre —him;  gaṅgā-snāna —bathing in the Ganges;  karāila —caused to do;  śekhara —Candraśekhara;  āniyā —bringing;  tāṅre —to him;  nūtana —new;  vastra —clothing;  dila —delivered.
TRANSLATION
Candraśekhara then made Sanātana Gosvāmī look like a gentleman. He took him to bathe in the Ganges, and afterwards he brought him a new set of clothes.
PURPORT
The words  bhadra karāñā  are significant in this verse. Due to his long hair, moustache and beard, Sanātana Gosvāmī looked like a  daraveśa , or hippie. Since Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not like Sanātana Gosvāmī’s hippie features, he immediately asked Candraśekhara to get him shaved clean. If anyone with long hair or a beard wants to join this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and live with us, he must similarly shave himself clean. The followers of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu consider long hair objectionable. Sanātana Gosvāmī was saved from a hellish condition (Mahāraurava) by the grace of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Mahāraurava is a hell wherein animal killers are placed. In this regard, refer to  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (5.26.10-12).
