  Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, born as Kripalu Ji in Mangarh , Uttar Pradesh, was a child prodigy who displayed immense spiritual wisdom from an early age.

  In the divine realm of spiritual literature, few works offer as profound an insight into the relationship between Shri Radha and Shri Krishna as "Bhakti Shatak" by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj . This seminal text, comprising one hundred verses on devotion, elevates the understanding of Bhakti Yoga and provides a unique perspective on the nature of the Divine, particularly emphasizing Shri Radha's unparalleled significance.

This assertion might surprise those accustomed to viewing Shri Krishna as the ultimate deity. However, in the esoteric teachings of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj , Shri Radha is portrayed as the essence of divinity, surpassing even Shri Krishna in her spiritual stature. The text describes her as "the very Soul of the Supreme Soul, Shri Krishna," a profound statement that elevat...

Bhakti: The Supreme Path to God-Realization Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj believes that devotion, or Bhakti, surpasses both karma and jnana as a means through which one may attain God. Karma consists of deeds united with dharma while jnana is the search for knowledge. Both are devoid of bhakti or devotion. In contrast, bhakti is a holistic road that demands surrendering one’s heart and life to Godliness. However, this abandonment does not simply imply relinquishing power but transformation from within such that in this condition the devotee’s desires align with God’s intentions....
