Sukadeva Jayanti is the birth anniversary of Sukadeva Gosvami. It is observed on the no moon day or Amavasi day in Vaishakh month. Shukadev Jayanthi 2013 date is May 9. Saint Sukadev narrated the Bhagavad Purana and is the son of Sage Vyasa.
There are numerous stories and incidents in Hindu scriptures associated with Sukadeva. The holy saint is believed to have born out of the ascetic powers of Sage Vyasa.
A legend has it that Sukadeva was such a pure soul that he used to roam naked and was not affected by things around.
Another legend has it that Shukadev was not interested in Grihasta Ashrama. So his father Sage Vyasa asked him to go to King Janaka and learn about the four ashramas. And Janaka convinced him about the importance of family life in the path of salvation or Moksha.

Being naked is natural. Body hair was a natural clothing for humans but to protect from the harmful effects of hot and cold, clothes gave the cover. Some hardy folk are able to live with none or litle clothing in harsh places. When humans notice each other in a naked state then they can become aroused so clothing can go some way in not allowing such feelings to occur. Clothing can also be fashionable mimicing other organisms and forms of matter. Being bare toughens the bodice and is said to facilitate the body's functioning with the external environment. Living bare would mean that the any changes noticed in a person could be acted upon quicker rather than dealing with it at a later stage.
The above was an experienced asetic and had good survival skills and knowledge.
