Legend

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj (lovingly called Shri Maharaj Ji by His devotees), the founder of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, dedicated his entire life to inspiring souls on the path of devotion to God through enlightening discourses and chanting of the holy name. 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.
