The Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads highlight the importance of a genuine spiritual teacher. All religions advocate that performing his service and surrendering to his teachings is the only way to realize God. Therefore, to complete our pursuit of happiness, the guidance of a shrotriya brahmanistha Guru is a must: one who is well-versed in all the scriptures with practical experience of God. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj was such a spiritual master. Through his compositions, written in accordance with the Vedas and other scriptures, he instilled the essence of God, bhakti, devotion, and meditation into the minds of all people, empowering them to embrace spirituality by applying spiritual laws in their daily living, while at the same time, immersing everyone in the abounding happiness and bliss of brajras.
Kripalu Ji Maharaj's compositions about Guru have been compiled in Guru Mahima, comprising gems from Prema Rasa Madira, Bhakti Shatak, Radha Govind Geet, Yugal Madhuri and Shyama Shyam Geet, all elucidating the nature, province, and importance of a genuine Guru. Without imbibing this wisdom, a devotee cannot lead a truly meaningful spiritual life.
