All of us strive relentlessly for happiness, yet it remains elusive. Meanwhile, there are some souls who have already attained eternal bliss.Freed from personal desires, they focus all their energy and attention in uplifting other souls, both socially and spiritually.
When compassion becomes the guiding light
Driven by compassion, they illuminate our path, teaching us how to attain divine love, serve God, and immerse ourselves in eternal bliss.ย The exquisite form of divine love is granted by Shri Radha Krishna during the sacred full moon night of Sharad Purnima through the Maharas, as hinted in the Shrimad Bhagwat. This is not to be mistaken for the staged raas performances we often see by children, local groups, or during one of our visits to Vrindavan.ย

The blessed night of Jagadguru Kripalu Jiโs birth
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj appeared on the blessed night of Sharad Purnima in 1922, in the scenic village of Mangarh, near Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.ย
He arrived at the auspicious midnight hour, echoing the very moment when, 5,000 years ago in Vrindavan, Shri Radha Krishna conferred the bliss of Maharas upon souls. This timing was a signal, foreshadowing the divine mission Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj had come to fulfill.
Over the next century, Shri Kripalu Ji devoted his life tirelessly, sharing the timeless wisdom of the Vedas with people across India and the world. His mission was to offer a practical path to attain the highest divine bliss. Through thousands of enlightening discourses, he emphasized that true devotion must be performed by the mind, and not merely through physical rituals.ย
Known lovingly as โShri Maharaj Jiโ among his devotees, he taught that performing external rituals alone lead nowhere. Citing the Vedas, Bhagwat, Geeta, Ramayan, and numerous sacred texts, he revealed that Bhakti or devotion, is the simplest path to attain God.
Introducing the Amazing Technique of Roopdhyan
To guide devotees, Shri Maharaj Ji introduced a simple yet powerful meditation technique called โRoopdhyanโ. This meditation involves visualizing the beautiful form of Shri Radha Krishna through their divine pastimes, names, and virtues. With diligent practice, Roopdhyan intensifies the soul’s longing for God, until the devotee feels that he cannot live without Godโs divine darshan even for a moment. It is at this point that the Almighty manifests before the devotee, liberating him from the bondage of Maya and granting him a place in Golok, God’s eternal abode.
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj authored numerous devotional texts to guide spiritual aspirants in practicing Roopdhyan. His principal composition “Prem Ras Siddhant” addresses the philosophy of Bhakti, offering insights and resolutions to the queries that arise on the spiritual path. “Prem Ras Madira” is a collection of 1,008 exquisite verses set to soulful melodies, offering a host of divine pastimes extremely helpful in growing oneโs love for Shri Radha Krishna.
His compassion extended beyond spiritual guidance. Shri Maharaj Ji established numerous educational institutions and hospitals that continue to offer world-class services to the poor and needy free of charge. He also founded three significant templesโPrem Mandir in Vrindavan, Bhakti Mandir in Shri Kripalu Dham – Mangarh, and Kirti Mandir in Barsanaโeach serving as a sanctuary for millions of devotees seeking to deepen their devotion.
