Kripalu Maharaj Divine

Today, as Shree Maharajji’s Divine glory spreads in the world, let us receive devotional inspiration by observing his magnificent personality.

Maharajji Kripalu resides in millions of devotees’ hearts due to his incomparable Divine philosophy, charming Divine personality, and very simple and loving nature.

For those thousands of surrendered devotees who have taken a firm vow to follow the spiritual path to reach the Divine goal, the name of Maharajji Kripalu touches the core of their hearts and creates music of many loving devotional feelings.

He appeared in 1922 at midnight on Sharad Purnima in the lap of the eternally Divine, most fortunate Shreemati Bhagwati Devi.

On the same night five thousand years ago, Shree Krishn bestowed the highest class of Divine love Bliss in the form of maharas to qualified souls.

During his childhood, like an ordinary human being, Maharajji Kripalu as if he was studying.

But, at the age of sixteen, he completed his education of Sanskrit literature and grammar.

After this, no one ever saw him studying the Vedas, Puranas or other scriptures.

There was a sudden extreme change in him after he finished his education.

To enjoy the Bliss of Divine love, he wandered for some time in the forest full of tigers and lions at Chitrakoot near Sharbhang ashram.

After that, he arrived at his soul beloved place, Vrindaban.

Here, his ocean of Divine love began to overflow.

He used to remain unconscious in the ecstasy of Divine love for many days at a time.

This continued for quite some time.

But then he couldn't refuse the request by some sincere devotees to give them his association.

Shree Maharajji, who descended for the welfare of the world, who is causelessly merciful, concealed his Divine Bhao and arrived at Agra with the devotees.

And from here he started his indescribably tireless hard work for the benefit of the souls.

Through his heart touching kirtan and discourses on spiritual subjects, without any regard to country, caste, religion, etc., he freely began to distribute Divine love.

Bhajo Giridhar Govind Gopala

The scene of Shree Maharajji dancing during Hari Bol chanting while completely drowned in Divine love ecstasy and expressing the eight satvic bhao forcibly reminds one of Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the descension of Radha Krishn.

In 1955, Shree Maharajji organized a large gathering of scholars in Chitrakoot.

Before seventy famous religious speakers from all over India and common people, he gave a very simple and beautiful reconciliation of the many seemingly contradictory philosophies in the Vedas, Puranas, Smritis and other scriptures.

The next year he organized the same kind of large gathering of saints in Kanpur.

Shree Rajnarayan Shukla, who was the chief secretary of Kashi Vidvat Parishat, a scholar of the six schools of philosophy and an expert debater, and other scholars present bowed in complete admiration after hearing the Divine discourse given by Shree Maharajji. Before a large crowd, while declaring Shree Maharajji's Divinity, they requested him to address the Kashi Vidvat Parishat.

Then Maharajji Kripalu arrived at Kashi.

There he spoke for ten days in extremely difficult Sanskrit before the Kashi Vidvat Parishat, the only organization comprised of 500 eminent scriptural scholars of India.

There he gave amazing speeches, which were filled with hundreds of quotations from all the scriptures and Vedas. Hearing his amazing speeches, which described and systematically reconciled all the philosophies and established the supremacy of devotion, the assembly of scholars humbly expressed its desire that he accept the title of ‘Jagadguru’, and offering flowers of their appreciation, honored him with the title of ‘supreme Jagadguru’.

Before him, only four Saints before him had received the title of original Jagadguru. The founder of absolute monism, the original Jagadguru, Shree Shankaracharya, the founder of mono-dualism, Jagadguru Shree Nimbarkacharya, the founder of qualified monism, Jagadguru Shree Ramanujacharya, and the founder of dualism, Jagadguru Shree Madhvacharya.

Bhakti-yog-rasavatar, Maharajji Kripalu is the fifth original Jagadguru in the last 5000 years, and the supreme Jagadguru in history. Maharajji Kripalu has written many books for the benefit of the souls.

In these, he has inspired souls to follow the path of selfless bhakti that is only for the happiness of Shree Krishn.

In "Prem Ras Sidhant", "Sevak Sevya Sidhant", and "Bhakti Shatak" and other prose books, Maharajji Kripalu has reconciled the seemingly contradictory philosophies of other Saints and scriptures in beautiful and simple language.

In the poetry books, "Prem Ras Madira", "Radha Govind Geet", "Braj Ras Madhuri", "Yugal Ras Madhuri", "Yugal Ras", "Yugal Madhuri", "Shree Krishn Dwadashi", "Shree Radha Triyodashi", etc., Maharajji Kripalu has beautifully described Radha Krishn names, form, leelas, virtues and abode. Each verse of these is saturated with the nectar of Divine love.

Even today, Shree Maharajji's tireless efforts for the benefit of the souls are the same as before.

To firmly establish the original philosophies of the Vedas and other scriptures in the minds of the souls, not only does Shree Maharajji himself explain these again and again in various discourses, but he has also taught over 40 preachers and sent them all over the world to spread Vedic knowledge.

As a clouds showers equally on everyone, so in the true sense of the word 'Jagadguru' or the supreme Spiritual Master of the world, Maharajji Kripalu his title by showering the rain of his indescribable and inconceivable love and Grace equally upon all his followers from different countries, castes and religions.
