After finishing His evening bath, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu sat down and waited for Ramananda Raya to come. Then Ramananda Raya, accompanied by one servant, came to meet Him.
A Vaisnava who is supposed to be advanced in spiritual understanding-be he a householder or sannyasi-must bathe three times a day: morning, noon and evening. When one is engaged in the service of the Deity, he must especially follow the principles of Padma Purana and take regular baths. He should also, after bathing, decorate his body with the twelve tilakas.
