In the vast landscape of Indian spirituality, the word “Guru” is frequently used, often describing anyone who teaches or guides. However, the title Jagadguru—translating to “Supreme Spiritual Guru of the World”—is in a completely different stratosphere. It is not an honorary degree or a popular moniker; it is the highest institutional acknowledgement of divine wisdom in Sanatan Dharma. To understand the gravity of this title, consider this: in the last 5,000 years of the Kaliyug era, amidst millions of saints, sages, and scholars, only five individuals have been universally recognised as original Jagadgurus. While many great saints are revered as Jagadgurus today due to disciplic succession (inheriting the title from their lineage), the original Jagadgurus are those who established the lineage itself. They did not inherit the title; they earned it. The most recent figure to join this divine group was Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, and his journey to this title is a historical phenomenon that defies ordinary human capability. A Title Earned, Not Inherited Unlike many spiritual leaders who ascend to positions of authority through established lineages, Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj stood alone. He had no formal Guru in the worldly sense, nor did he belong to a

There was a man named Umesh who had a wife, a son, a friend, a servant, a neighbour and an acquaintance who owed him money. One day, Umesh suddenly died in the hospital. On hearing this news, the wife fell unconscious, as the sorrow was too much for her to bear. His son heard the news and though he did not fall unconscious, he became extremely unhappy and cried bitterly. Umesh’s friend was not as upset as his son, but he did shed a few tears. The servant did not cry, but he felt slightly sad. The neighbour also heard that Umesh had died but felt neither happiness nor distress. He told his wife who was cleaning the house, “Did you hear? You know our neighbour Umesh? He just died.” She also felt neither sorrow nor happiness, but following the rules of etiquette said, “Oh God! That’s terrible. His child is small and his wife is so young. Anyway, whatever God wills, happens!” After saying this she continued cleaning. The person who owed money to Umesh was dishonest, so he felt very happy when he heard the news. He thought, “Now I am free from the debt!” Now suppose Umesh

The science of Roopdhyan — as taught in the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Ramcharitmanas, the Narada Bhakti Sutra, the Padma Purana and other scriptures — is an indisputable, established principle. It proclaims that the Supreme — the most complete Purushottam manifested as Shri Ram and Shri Krishna — is both the one attribute-less, formless divine Light and, for devotees, the sweetest personal form. In essence the Supreme is nirguna and nirākāra, but for the sake of mercy and love He manifests as the highest saguna, the personal God who can be known and loved. This teaching — that the formless Absolute and the personal Lord are not two opposites but one Reality manifesting as the Beloved — runs through the Upanishads, the Gita, the Srimad Bhagavatam and the great Purāṇas. That same teaching shows how Roopdhyan (meditation on the Lord’s form) becomes the living science of devotion: the means by which the jīva turns from material bonds into the loving relationship with God. For Roopdhyan, find a beautiful picture of Shri Krishna — one that truly appeals to you. Look at that picture carefully, then close your eyes and transform that still image into
