Message from Shree Maharajji


Dear friend!

Radha Krishn are everything for you. They are truly yours forever by all means, and you only belong to Them. Don’t think that Krishn is Almighty Supreme God Who is not easily accessible to common souls. He is just yours. Radha Krishn are so kind and loving that They are waiting for you with Their open arms to embrace. Leaving all the worldly attachments just look at Them with full faith and confidence like a small child and They will become yours forever.

Austerity, yog, or vigorous practice of meditation etc., are never required in order to receive Their Grace as They are causelessly merciful by nature. Just have unflinching faith in Them. That’s all you have to do. Your eternally ruined luck will be instantly transformed and you will become Theirs forever. You just give yourself into Their hands and see that They will do everything for you.

(Our scriptures tell that) They have embraced great sinful souls; then why don’t you develop full faith in Them? What are you hesitating for?

Trust my words, just do it and see…

Yours,
Kripalu

Inspiring Discourses


Swamiji’s lectures cover the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, Shreemad Bhagavatam, Puranas, Bhagavad Geeta, Ramayan, and other Eastern scriptures and Western philosophies. Like the true Disciple of a true Master, Swamiji masterfully quotes from the scriptures of all the great religions, to satisfy even the most discerning of knowledge-seekers. He also reveals the simple and straightforward path to God-realization that can be practiced by anyone.

Although Swamiji started preaching in India two decades ago, he now preaches both in India and abroad. He has inspired innumerable devotees in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, where his visit is always anxiously awaited. Since 2008, on the instruction of Shree Maharajji, Swamiji has increasingly begun spending more time in USA, where his educational background and command over the English language make his programs particularly charming to the intelligentsia, professionals, and academicians.


Devotional literature


Kripaluji Maharaj has written thousands of inspiring verses revealing the Divine pastimes of Radha Krishna. His style of writing is unique in the entire history of saints: First, he begins the chanting of a pada or kirtan, and as the kirtan progresses, he keeps adding lines to it, bringing it to a consummate close. In glorification of Shree Radha Krishna Devotion, he has named one of his principal creations as "Prem Ras Madira", or "Divine Love Intoxicant". A literal (verbatim) translation of the name of one of the greatest treasures of a devotee is a naïve and futile attempt. One is lost for words to describe the intensity and greatness of the pads and kirtans written by Shree Maharajji. It is only by singing the inebriating kirtans that we can get a glimpse of the unfathomable Divine love that pours out from the heart of a true devotee of Shree Radha Krishna.

The kirtans conducted by Shree Maharajji are famous the world over for the fervent intensity of devotion that they create in the minds and hearts of the sincere follower, forever binding him or her to the path of God-realization. Whenever Shree Maharajji graces the prayer and Sadhana hall, the kirtans reach a feverish pitch as the lord's innumerable names and pastimes are sung in unison by ecstatic voices across the floor. It is a sight to behold and participate in these highly charged kirtans that mesmerize even the most phlegmatic of people, drawing them ever closer to the Shree Radha Krishna.

Scriptural Discourses


After accepting the title of Jagadguru, Kripaluji Maharaj traveled throughout the country for fourteen years. He would deliver month-long discourses in each city, in which he would unravel the mysteries of the scriptures before tens of thousands of people, who would throng the venue for a glimpse of this extraordinary scholar and Saint whose words left them spellbound. Shree Maharajji's lectures tantalize the masses with humor, worldly examples, practical instructions and playful chastisement, much to the delight of the crowd. It was a unique experience as he made the deepest scriptural truths accessible to everyone in the simplest language.

As a cut runs deep, his penetrative words have such Divine power that even an atheist's heart can melt when Shree Maharajji describes the nature of the ultimate and Absolute Truth.

HOW TO FIND GOD


Kripalu Maharaj Divine

the ultimate goal of a soul is only supreme Divine Bliss, and for attaining that, we are trying constantly, every single moment. But up to now, we haven't received that Bliss. There are only two fields: the field of maya, and the field of God. We have attained a lot in the mayic field, to the extent that we have even become Indra, emperor of the celestial abodes, hundreds of times. You always experience happiness in the world - that of your mother, father, child, wife, husband, wealth. You have experienced these kinds of happiness a lot - but it all amounts to zero. From this world one only gets tension and peacelessness, so it is proven that in the mayic field there is no true happiness anywhere. So where is it? What remains is God's field. It might be there. It's not necessary to apply your intellect a lot to understand this.

For example, two people are together, and you only know their names: Ramesh and Dinesh. If someone were to point out to you, "That one is Dinesh," then you could understand that the other person is Ramesh. Thus, if we were to firmly decide, "There is no happiness in the world," then we could know it is in the Divine field, but we haven't determined this. Instead we think, "This situation with my wife, husband, friend, etc., is no good. Everyone else's wife, husband, friend, etc. is good. We haven't determined that it's the same everywhere, whether it relates to a prime minister's home or Indra's home, everyone is unhappy, sorrowful, peaceless. So how could we find God's Bliss? This is a big question, because if someone tries hard his whole life to earn a million or a billion dollars, he might be successful, he might not. So how does one get unlimited, spiritual happiness, supreme Divine Bliss? We can't visualize God anywhere. There are Deities, but we want to see His actual form so we can ask Him to give us that Bliss.

How does one receive Divine Bliss from God? There are three methods to attain something from someone. You can grab him, tie him up, and forcibly snatch it from him. You can steal it from him. You can humbly beg him for it. Which one will you choose? It's impossible to threaten God and tie him up. There is no one equal to Him; who could be greater than Him? And stealing from Him? He is omnipresent, omniscient. Stealing is only possible when the other person doesn't know you are doing it. Even before you stole, when you were planning to steal, God made a note of your thoughts from inside. So this won't work. The third option is to beg from Him. How? In Sanskrit, English, Hindi, Uriya, Bangla, Punjabi? No, not like that. Ask him like a newborn baby. You people might not remember that when you were an infant, you couldn't speak a single word, nor could you indicate anything, nor did you even recognize your own mother. How did you survive? You had a weapon: you simply cried. When your mother heard your cries, she ran to you, "Why is my baby crying?!" Several months passed like this. We have to get back to this stage of an innocent child who has no strength, no means to help himself, who doesn't even recognize his own mother, who can't demand or ask anything of his mother. What will such a child do? Just cry. God says, "Don't come to me with strength. Become powerless, destitute, without any means, humble." Feel more humble than a blade of grass. Be more tolerant than a tree. Respect all and don’t desire respect for yourself. These are three axioms written by Gaurang Mahaprabhu.

Sanatan Dharm and the true path to God.


नमो नमस्तेऽस्त्वृषभाय सात्वतां विदूरकाष्ठाय मुहु: कुयोगिनाम् ।

निरस्तसाम्यातिशयेन राधसा स्वधामनि ब्रह्मणि रंस्यते नम: ॥

(भा. २/४)

Sanatan Dharm is the universal religion
of the Upnishads, Gita and the
Bhagwatam which Bharatvarsh has
introduced for the whole world.

What is Sanatan Dharm?

The religion which eternally exists in God, which is revealed by God, which describes the names, forms, virtues and the abodes of God, and which reveals the true path of God realization for all the souls is called Sanatan Dharm, the universal religion for the whole world.The word dharm is formed from the root word dhryan (dhryan dharne); it means such actions and such spiritual or religious practices that finally result in all-good for a soul. A general description of dharm is:

It means that such actions, thoughts and practices that promote physical and mental happiness in the world (abhyudaya) and ensure God realization (nishreyas) in the end, are called dharm.

There are two kinds of dharmas: (a) Apar dharm, or varnashram dharm, or seemit dharm, or general dharm, and (b) par dharm or bhagwat dharm.

(a) Apar dharm, or varnashram dharm, or seemit dharm, or general dharm. The word dharm means the religious practices and thoughts that are aimed to fulfill a pious goal in life. Accordingly the apar or varnashram dharm is the religious discipline and injunctions of do’s and don’ts that are explained in the scriptures for uplifting the sattvic qualities of a human being in general. Varnashram word refers to all kinds and classes of people of this world living various orders of life (like a family man, a priest, a monk or a sanyasi), and apar word means ‘secondary’ or ‘general’ or ‘preliminary’ because it is not the absolute or prime dharm, it is the preliminary dharm for everyone in the world.The discipline and rules of apar dharm vary according to the state of the spiritual consciousness of a person, and its rigidness also varies from age to age, that is, from satyug to kaliyug. In short you can understand that (for the existing age) all kinds of good deeds and philanthropic works that are beneficial to the society, and sincere observance of the religious discipline of the ‘order of life’ (religious student, family man, or a renounced person) you are following, come in this category, provided, that they are done with sattvic motivation. Sattvic motivation means having faith in God and then doing all the good karmas only to please God and not for any kind of personal gain. Even if you think of receiving compliments for your good karmas or the religious practices which you observe, it will not be classified as sattvic, it will become rajas, because you desired for the compliments and you have received them. Thus you have already availed the outcome of your so-called good deeds. According to the Gita:

There is hardly any further good outcome of such good looking karmas in the next lifetime.

So, apar dharm means good karmas with sattvic motivation where a person is devoted to God in a conventional manner, which means a general faith in all the forms of God. Such good karmas pacify the mind of the doer in the existing life, and in the next lifetime they create a good destiny which is called ‘abhyudaya’ that brings physical and mental well-being in a person’s life.
