Sharad Purnima is Shri Kripaluji Maharajaji's birth day. Although he is not visible in his physical form for all, his presence is very much felt through his discourses, bhajans, his informal videos, letters, books - both prose and poetry.....
He was said to be descended directly from divine abode as did the four Jagadgurus before him. In fact, many people believe that he was the incarnation of Lord Gaurang mahaprabhu and therefore he was Lord Krishn himself in the human form.
He was the fifth original title holder of Jagadguru on the basis of his tremendous command over Veads, Upnishads, Puran. He had excellent grip over scriptures of other religions like Islam, Christen etc. His in depth knowledge of all philosophers, whether eastern or western, made him unparalleled and unchallenged speaker on divine subjects.
Not only knowledge, but love too flowed uninterrupted through his mind and body. The outer signs of presence of divine love in his heart is the rarest of rare happening on this earth.
Apart from knowledge and love, his continuous efforts to uplift souls from dreaded darkness of ignorance and sufferings arising out of this ignorance, make everyone filled with sense of immense gratitude. It is impossible to repay his debt even after infinite lives.
And yes, to make life livable, he in his life time began many charitable operation like free hospital, free school, free distribution of bi-cycles and tri-cycles, food grains, school bags, school stationary and other educational items, blankets, jackets, utensils, daliy usage items. All these items are distributed even today through Jagadguru Kripalu Parishad under the guidance of Dr. Su Shri Vishakha Tripati after the departure of Shri maharajaji in 2013.
Let us decide to take up spiritual path of devotion to Shri Radha Krishn on his birth day and wish him 'Many happy returns of the Day' knowing that he still around though not in visible form.
