INSPIRATION

The publication of our newsletter Divya Sandesh is apparently an outcome of the Grace of our Revered
Master JAGADGURU SHRI KRIPALU JI MAHARAJ.

Hence we decided to publish the first edition of Divya Sandesh on the auspicious day of Guru Poornima
as an offering of flowers on His adorable lotus feet. We hope the readers will be highly benefited with the
divine knowledge in the columns of this newsletter, as revealed by the Supreme scholar of this era, ‘SS ant
Shiromani Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’.
Founder
Didi Braj Banchary I would also like to congratulate the editors A. Mahajan and Neeharika Peter f or their tireless ef f orts to
accomplish this wonderf ul job.

The one who dispels the darkness of ignorance is
Guru.” The other definition is

the ignorance is Guru. Mahaprabhu Chaitanya
says “je; k›kQ8

who has realized God is Guru.
In a nut shell, if some one obtains shelter of a
real Guru, endowed with above mentioned
quality with the ability to infuse the true
knowledge in the mind of an inquisitive soul, then
there is no delay in realization of God, absolute
liberation from the miseries and attainment of
unlimited divine happiness. Narada Ji gave the
same message to Prahlad, when he was in the
womb of his mother saying, “although there are
many ways to realize God, yet the best and
easiest way is the selfless service to your Spiritual

Hence, on the auspicious day of Guru Poornima,
let us pay our homage to our venerable Spiritual

Lord Krishna says to Uddhava depicting the
authentic way of implementation of true dharma,
“Uddhava! A true religious person must see Me in
Guru. Neither he should insult him at any cost nor
consider him as an ordinary being. He is the
embodiment of all forms of God.”

His Divinity, Holiest of Holies of The Present Age Our Maharaj ji
It’s a matter of great pride for us that the Fifth Original Jagadguru, Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj is our beloved Master, whose divine
knowledge is illuminating the whole world with its radiance.

What is Jagadguru? The word Jagad means the entire world, which is ever dynamic. Guru means one who is all-capable of
dispelling the beginning-less ignorance and is capable of infusing the divine knowledge. In a nutshell, one who is accepted as the
supreme spiritual teacher for the whole world is a Jagadguru.

What does Original Jagadguru mean? When the world in general is impressed by the Divine knowledge of a saint then this title
is conferred upon the person. Once that saint leaves this world, most qualified of the remaining folks is granted his seat. That
person is also called Jagadguru. But they are not called “Original Jagadguru”.

Why Fifth Original Jagadguru? Before him in the past 2500 years 4 other people have been adorned with this title.
Shankaracharya, Nimbarkacharya, Madhavacharya and Ramanujacharya (13th Century). After 700 years this title has been
conferred upon our Guru Swami Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. So he is the fifth Original Jagadguru.

Who is qualified to confer this title? This title is not a degree that can be attained by going to a school. When the world is
groping in the darkness of ignorance and irreligion then God out of his causelessly merciful nature sends a Divine personality, a
saint, on this earth. When he propagates the Divine religion, knowledge and devotion (love for God aka Bhakti), which is
drastically different from the contemporary beliefs, all religious henchmen take offense and invite the saint for a scriptural debate.
In 1957 a panel of 500 scholars also invited Shri Maharajji for such a debate. Then Maharajji was asked to speak for several hours
each day for a period of 10 days. On the 7th day seeing His unprecedented knowledge of the scriptures they willingly conferred
upon him “Jagadguru” title along with the others as listed below.

[aImd\pdvaKyp/ma8paravarI*a - One who is proficient in all philosophies propounded in “Vyakran”, “Nyay” and “Mimansa”.
vedmagRp/itQ5apnacayR - Supreme teacher who competently establishes a path of God realization according to Vedic philosophy.
ini`ld=RnsmNvyacayR
smNvyacayR - One who reconciles all philosophies according to the scriptures and Vedas.
snatnvEidk0mRp/itQ5apnsTs&p/dayprmacayR - Supreme teacher for promoting Sanatan Vedic religion and the Supreme master of all the
authentic schools of philosophy.
-iÆyogrsavtar
-iÆyogrsavtar - One who is an incarnation of veritable Bhaktiyog and nectar of divine love.
-gvdnNt[aIiv-Uiqt - One who is endowed with innumerable divine attributes.
In order to spread the authentic knowledge to all masses, He has written a book “Prem Ras Siddhant”. This is the core of all Divine
knowledge. He has reconciled all the seemingly conflicting beliefs and practices. This book is available in both Hindi and English.

 KIDZ CORNER
GuruBhakt Uddalak
A sage by the name of 'Ayoddhaumya' had his hermitage in the forest. He had many students. Yet
Aruni was the most sincere disciple. Sage 'Dhaumya' himself was very hard working and taught
his students the same. All of his students were the most obedient and they used to finish their
tasks in right earnest. One day it was raining heavily. Sage Dhaumya ordered Aruni to build a
bund in the fields so that the water did not flow out of the field, otherwise the harvest would have
suffered. Aruni obeyed the command of his teacher and went to the fields. Since it was raining
very heavily, the field was filled up with water. But at one end of the field, the swift current
washed a portion of the boundary away. The current of the water was gushing out very fast from
that place. Aruni tried to stop the water from flowing out by putting some soil in that place by the
help of a spade.

But the swift current washed it away. He tried many times but all his efforts went in vain. Now,
he started worrying because he was not able to obey the command of his teacher. Suddenly, an
idea came to his mind and he kept aside the spade and lied down at the place from where the water was gushing out. After
sometime, it stopped raining but he could not get up because the water would have flown outside the field. So, he kept lying
in the same position.

Next morning, when Sage Dhaumya did not see Aruni at his service as usual, called all his students to enquire where Aruni
was. The students replied that: " Sir, you yourself had sent him to construct a bund on the field." Sage Dhaumya became
worried and he along with the other students went in search of Aruni with a lantern in his hand. But they could not find
Aruni anywhere.

Sage Dhaumya called him out several times: " Aruni, where are you, we are searching for you." Aruni heard his teacher's
voice and replied in that same position: " Sir, here I am". Sage Dhaumya followed the direction from which Aruni's voice
came. When he found Aruni lying in a pool of water, his heart was filled with emotion. He called Aruni and embraced him.
He blessed Aruni by saying: " Son Aruni! I am very pleased by your devotion; you will acquire every kind of knowledge even
without studying. You will become famous in this world and will become the supreme devotee of God. From today, onwards
you will be known as 'Uddalak'. The same Aruni became famous as sage 'Uddalak'.

We see the world as we are
Once the disciples of Guru Dronacharya asked him, "How is that Yudhishtra is
recognized as an embodiment of virtues and Duryodhana as a wicked man?"
Guru Ji did not give any answer. Instead He called out Duryodhana and said, "O
Duryodhana, go and seek a virtuous man". Obeying his Guru's command,
Duryodhana traveled far and wide and returned after a long time. He told
Dronacharya: "I searched high and low but could not find even a single virtuous
man in the whole world. I saw men only of evil nature everywhere." Dronacharya
then instructed Yudhishtra: "O Yudhishtra, find a wicked man and bring him to
me. "Yudhishtra, too, traveled far and wide and came back after many years.

Humbly, he approached his guru and said: "My worthy master, I tried hard to find such a man but could not find even a
single wicked man in the whole world."

Guru Ji then said “My dear disciples! Here is the answer of your question. You see the world the way you are. Most of the
time we receive what we give and we perceive as we are. If we have a positive attitude we find that everyone is wonderful.
And if we treat people with respect we receive respect in return.”

It is a proof that there is no good or evil in this world. If you see evil in the world that means that is evil is in your heart. So
this is a good indication of what you should change in your own life.
