Hare Ram - Kirtan with Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj

Kirtan composed by Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj.

Since 1938, at the age of 16, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj has been showering Braj ras, the highest Bliss of the love of Radha Krishn. He does so through his kirtan and pad (devotional songs about Radha Krishn), of which he has produced an immense quantity.

He has revealed thousands of kirtan and bhajan which describe the Divine names, leelas, virtues and decorations of Radha Krishn for the meditation of the devotees. By singing these songs and meditating on Radha and Krishn, devotees purify their hearts and begin to experience the bliss of Radha Krishn name.

These devotional songs are not only the literal descriptions, but are also imbued with the Divine Grace and love of Radha Krishn, which can be experienced on the basis of a person's faith. When Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj himself sings the kirtan in his Divine voice, then a receptive heart may experience the flow of the ocean of Braj ras from within Shree Kripaluji Maharaj.

Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj received the title of Jagadguru in 1957 from a group of over 500 leading scholars of Kashi. He is thus the 5th original Jagadguru in the last 5,000 years, following Jagadguru Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Nimbarkacharya, Jagadguru Ramanujacharya and Jagadguru Madhvacharya. The title of Jagadguru means the Spiritual Master for the whole world.

Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj is the founder of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP), a non-profit, charitable, educational, and religious organization. Its main U.S. center is JKP, Radha Madhav Dham (http://radhamadhavdham.org) in Austin, Texas. Radha Madhav Dham is one of the largest Hindu temples in the country and has become a place of pilgrimage in the West.
