प्रेम मंदिर की यात्रा – एक 12 साल के बच्चे की नजर से(जगद्गुरु श्री कृपालु जी महाराज)

ठंडी की छुट्टियाँ शुरू होते ही मैं बहुत खुश था। अब पूरे दो हफ़्तों के लिए ना स्कूल जाना था, ना होमवर्क करना था। मुझे लगा पापा हमको इस बार पहाड़ों पर बर्फबारी दिखाने लेकर जाएंगे, लेकिन जब पापा ने बताया कि हम वृंदावन के प्रेम मंदिर जा रहे हैं, तो मेरी एक्साइटमेंट थोड़ी कम हो गई। मुझे लगा मंदिर में तो बस पूजा-पाठ होता है, मैं वहां जाकर क्या करूंगा! मैंने जब इसके बारे में मम्मी से बोला तो उन्होनें यह कहकर टाल दिया, "एक बार चलो तो, फिर देखना!"

हम सुबह तैयार होकर दिल्ली से अपनी कार से ही वृन्दावन के लिए निकले। पापा कार चला रहे थे, मम्मी और मेरी बहन पीछे वाली सीट पर थी, और मैं आगे पापा के बगल में बैठ गया। रास्ते में मैं खिड़की से बाहर देखता रहा और सोचता रहा कि पता नहीं ये ट्रिप कैसी होने वाली है। पापा रास्ते में बता रहे थे कि प्रेम मंदिर जगद्गुरु श्री कृपालु जी महाराज ने बनवाया है और यह राधा-कृष्ण जी और सीता-राम जी का मंदिर है। लेकिन मैं बस सिर हिला रहा था और मन ही मन सोच रहा था कि काश हम कहीं स्नोफॉल वाली जगह पर जाते।आगे पढ़े

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj: The Accomplished Musician

His sublime playing of any musical instrument was so natural that it seemed as though the instrument was an extension of his own self... no one had ever seen him practice, nor had anyone ever taught him... Everyone bowed to his musicianship and authorship, attributing it to being possible only through some divine intervention. The intoxicating manner of his singing and playing was irresistible... Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's flair for music and musical phrasing was evident right from his childhood. Sitting in the trees in Mangarh his sweet voice thrilled his little friends, who joyfully tried to mimic the tonal quality in his voice as they sang radhe govinda, swaying in unison on the branches. By his late teens, he had already started to add his own unique brand of drum playing to the sankirtana he led, chanting for hours with his eyes closed in perfect timing to the rhythm of his hypnotic mridanga playing - hare rama hare krishna, radhe govinda bhajo, govinda jaya jaya go...
