Amidst the myriad of aspirations that fill our hearts, there lies a profound lesson taught by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj —a lesson that beckons us to renounce the transient in favor of the eternal.

काशीविद्वत्परिषत् द्वारा जगद्गुरूत्तम पद से विभूषित पंचम मूल जगद्गुरु: जगद्‌गुरु श्री कृपालु जी महाराज (सन् 1922 - 2013)
