Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, founder of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, was a God Realised Saint whose entire life was dedicated to inspiring souls on the path of devotion to God. Through enlightening discourses and chanting of the holy name, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj (lovingly called Shri Maharaj Ji by His devotees) made unceasing efforts to reveal the true philosophy from the Vedic scriptures to mankind in the simplest form possible so that they may attain their true goal of God Realisation.
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj neither made any disciples nor did He form any ethnic group. With due respect to all existing philosophies and religions in the world today, He established selfless devotion to Radha-Krishna as the only true eternal path for the individual souls to attain the ultimate goal of life – God Realisation. He presented His own philosophy in the simplest form, which reconciled all contradictory viewpoints and discrepancies found in the existing philosophies and scriptural teachings.
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj not only had complete authority over the Vedas and the Vedic Scriptures, but was also the embodiment of Divine Love Bliss, and hence was honoured with the title of “Bhaktiyogarasavatar”. In the current dark age (Kaliyuga), He made the Divine Love of Radha-Krishna flow into even the most sinful hearts, proving Him to be Bhaktiyogarasavatar (an embodiment of Divine Love Bliss).
Mankind was privileged to have his physical association on this planet earth from 1922 to 2013 .
Honoured with titles such as ‘The Supreme Spiritual Master of the World’, ‘Descension of Divine Love and Bliss’, ‘Eminent Propounder of Eternal Vedic Religion’ and ‘Reconciler of all Seemingly Contradictory Philosophical Views of the World’, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj truly was the personified form of divine love . His natural scholarliness inspired trust in even the greatest intellectuals, while his tremendous love, causeless grace and endless compassion melted the hearts and inspired devotional love in all who came near him . His satsang was divinely exhilarating and unbelievably joyous .
His divine effulgence shined through all He said, all He did and all He was . Each and every seeker was amazed to see how approachable He was and enjoyed the special privilege of receiving individual attention from Him . Thus, He made each person feel that they belonged to Him . True to His name “Kripalu”, He was the very “Ocean of Grace” .
At present, there are 11 religions that prevalent in the world – Hindu Vedic, Jain, Baudha, Christianity, Sikh, Islam, Jew, Persian, Tao, Confucian, and Shinto. In all these religions there are contradictions in the prescribed methods for attainting the ultimate goal of an individual soul. There are contradictions within a given religion itself. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, with due respect to all these religions, has reconciled all the contradictory philosophies, and has prescribed a path which is common and acceptable to all, with great simplicity, clarity and perfection, that even the profoundest spiritual wisdom can be easily understood by a common man.

Enshrine in golden letters the divine secret that I am about to reveal to you
The day a soul genuinely develops an unwavering deep conviction in his heart that God and His names are eternally one and the same, with equal powers and attributes, at that very moment he will become God-realised.
God is so merciful that declares in the scriptures – I have made Myself omnipresent, but you do not believe in this . I reside in My divine abode Golok, but you cannot reach there . I reside within your heart, but you do not accept this . Therefore, for your convenience, I have seated Myself with all My powers in My divine names.
The day this truth sinks into your heart, you will be so overwhelmed with bliss that you will not be able to recite ‘Radhey’. Your emotional voice will choke in your throat and your mind will drown in the ocean of bliss. Without delay, your Guru will shower His Grace and make you God-realised. Just believe in these words of mine!
