The Enlightened Journey: Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's Last Years

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj was so restless to immerse worldly people in the ocean of love that each and every moment was devoted to planning and practice, i.e. how to approach people, awaken them and make them practice true devotion.

His Greatest gift to humanity is his unique philosophy of divine love that liberates suffering souls and intensely inundates loving souls. Just as a candle burns brightest before it goes out, similarly in his later years, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj travelled extensively showering his utmost love and grace on all the devotees without caring for his own health or comfort. He traversed vast distances with great zeal without experiencing any tiredness. Once he mockingly said, "I never feel tired. Weariness remains far away from me." His wittiness and sense of humour were irresistible. He would be on his way to one place and then instruct his driver to take him somewhere else! All of a sudden he would arrive at the undisclosed destination; reaching his dear ones and making them run here and there, enjoying the play as it unfolded.

In his eighties and into his nineties, he was restless to immerse worldly people in the ocean of love. Each and every moment was devoted to planning and practice, i.e. how to approach people to awaken them and then how best to explain to them the goal of life that will make them practice true devotion that transcends rites and rituals. Day and night lost all meaning to him. Rising at 1.00 a.m. - sometimes at even 12 midnight - he would travel from one place to another. People would find him at one place in the morning and in the evening he would be seen at some other place. Without any prior notice or extensive preparation, he would surprise his devotees, responding to their love and attracting many more new souls to move on the supreme path of devotion. Strange indeed were his ways. He just loved to be on the move so he could spiritually benefit more and more people.

In conclusion, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's final years were a testament to his unwavering commitment to spreading his philosophy of divine love and selfless devotion. Like a brilliant candle that burns brightest before extinguishing, he radiated love and grace to all those who crossed his path, without concern for his own well-being. His wit and humor, combined with a boundless energy that belied his age, were endearing qualities that endeared him to his followers.

In his eighties and nineties, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's passion to immerse people in the boundless ocean of love was undiminished. Every moment was devoted to meticulously planning how to approach and awaken people, guiding them towards a life of true devotion that transcended mere rites and rituals. He defied the constraints of day and night, rising at early hours and traveling from place to place, sometimes even without prior notice. His unpredictable movements allowed him to reach out to his devotees and attract new souls to the path of supreme devotion.

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's extraordinary journey in his later years serves as a shining example of dedication, selflessness, and an unwavering commitment to the spiritual well-being of humanity. His legacy lives on, continuing to inspire countless souls on their quest for divine love and true devotion.
