When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees approached him, they
saw that he was covered with a deerskin. Seeing this, Sri Caitanya
Mahdprabhu became very unhappy.

PURPORT

Brahmananda Bharati belonged to the Sahkara-sampradaya. The title bhdrati in-
dicates one of the ten sannydsis in the Sankara-sampradaya. It is customary for a
person who has renounced the world to cover his body with a deerskin or the
bark of a tree. This is enjoined by Manu-samhita. However, if a sannyasi who has
renounced the world simply wears a deerskin and does not spiritually advance, he
is simply puffed up and conceited. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not like to see
Brahmananda Bharati wearing a deerskin.
