[Srila Gaura Kisora] Babaji Maharaja was a bhajananandi, preferring to live in a holy place to concentrate on chanting, rather than going out into the world to establish temples and recruit followers. As saksad-vairagya-mürti (renunciation personified) he rejected bodily comforts and made little effort to shelter or maintain his body. He ate raw earth, uncooked rice, and other items generally considered inedible. He shunned company, had no patience with pretenders posing as devotees, and ignored or vituperated those who approached him. He cared not for any residence. In Navadvipa he lived for some time under a chai (detachable wicker awning of a country boat), and for several months in a latrine. His possessions were practically nil. Sometimes he donned cloth taken from dead bodies at the burning ghat, and at other times went naked. He had no interest apart from chanting the holy names continuously and associating with the few devotees he recognized as genuine.

"Chant Hare Krishna and be happy"
हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे || हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे||
