Jayananda looks like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

[Bhakti Vikasa Swami]

Jayananda looks like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. [laughter] Yes. He was tall and
stout and strong, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. [laughing] Yes. Very good. And in
Vrndavana, when Kirtanananda was given sannyasa, he was looking so nice with
this dress and danda, oh, practically all the devotees of Vrndavana came to
offer him respect. Yes.
On Janmastami day I offered him sannyasa. So, many devotees came to see in the
temple. So there was a big crowd. He was looking very nice. Caitanya Mahaprabhu
was also very fair-complexioned. So with this dress, persons with fair
complexion looks very nice, very attractive.
So people are not attracted with this dress in kirtana party? [laughs] This
bare head with tilaka and this dress, they will know that they are coming
from..., directly from the kingdom of God. [laughs] [laughter] Actually it is
so. They have forgotten God; otherwise they would have received these
brahmacaris so nicely. In India, oh, you'll be received just like gods with
this dress. Hundreds and thousands of people will come to receive you. Yes.
