How Our Lives Were Changed

The devotees of Bhakti-yog-rasavatar, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, have expressed their feelings about how their lives were changed through his Grace, association, satsang and his caring.

Being brought up in India, I used to like the stories of Ramayan and Mahabharat. After my college studies, I read many books on spiritual philosophy by well known authors, but instead of getting knowledge, I got more confused as books told different things. I was looking for someone who could guide me on the path to God.

When I came to the United States, with the Grace of God, I happened to meet Shree Swamiji. He showed me the eternal path of raganuga bhakti, the pure path of loving devotion to Radha Krishn. I learned about Shree Maharajji and his Divine life history and went to meet him in Vrindaban. My heart felt that I found someone that I was missing for my whole life. I decided to dedicate my life in service of His lotus feet.

I read Shree Maharajji’s book ‘Prem Ras Siddhant’ while I was in Vrindaban. It happened many times that whatever topic I read in the book, he explained the same in the satsang and made it very clear. I felt his direct Grace upon me. I was never clear about the meaning of karm yog as described in the Gita and how to practice in this kaliyug, which Shree Maharajji very cleverly described in his book. His speeches are incredible. I think it is impossible for anyone to understand the deep meaning behind his Divine words even by studying the scriptures for millions of lifetimes, which Shree Maharajji makes crystal clear through his speeches. His Grace has changed my life totally. I feel I have waited innumerable lifetimes for this opportunity.

When I met Shree Maharajji the emotional waves that poured out of me in torrents of tears caught me unaware and I was surprised by the depth and totality of my response. When I saw Him deliver His Guru Poornima discourse, I felt that I was watching God Himself on stage in the form of Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji!

Other changes have been much more subtle. There have been meetings with Shree Maharajji where the sweet waves of vairag and love have been so beautiful; and responses from them of depthless love that filled me with gratitude. Things are growing inside and flowering, so that while I still do have to do my sadhana, He has actually taken over and is making all things right from within. Now Shree Radha Krishn and my Gurudev are the epicenter of my life and Barsana Dham our home. Beautiful is the journey of my life, sometimes stormy, sometimes clear, mysterious beyond comprehension—but only love rules here!

I received the greatest pleasure and the rarest opportunity in this lifetime when in July, 2000 my eyes fell upon Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, whose single glance can pierce your heart with great longing for God’s love. Through his powerful speeches and blissful chantings, the worldly values of my mind and heart are being replaced with the sweetest of longings for a close relationship with my Beloved God Krishn. My heart is being filled drop by drop, day by day with His precious teachings.

Now my search has ended and my journey has begun. With a Divine father, I feel protected instead of vulnerable, tranquil instead of sad, drawn to the charm of devotion rather than repelled by the harshness of the world. My life has been transformed, only through the Grace of my Spiritual Master and Divine Father.

N.K., Texas, U.S.A.

Meeting Shree Maharajji was like a new birth for me. His personality entered my heart, mind and soul. It felt like all my fears and attachments melted away. Nothing in the world felt more important than meeting Radha Krishn.

I know I have a long way to go, but now I have true hope that it is possible to meet our beloved Radha Krishn in this lifetime. He has brought Divine life into the chanting of the names of Radha Krishn for me and I can feel Their presence in chanting. Due to his Grace my whole family is coming close to Radha Krishn. I feel his presence and guidance with me all the time. I wish to dedicate my life for his service.

M.S., North Carolina, U.S.A.

Since my early adulthood I always had unanswered questions about the purpose of life. Everybody is busy with their work, education, traveling, socializing. So I got myself busy with all sorts of things, but no matter how many things I acquired, how many good places I visited, or good things I did, a part of me was always sad and quiet. I felt empty inside.

A few years back miraculously we moved to Austin, a city whose name I had never even heard before. Here I visited Barsana Dham and met Shree Swamiji. Immediately I got a feeling of peace. A voice inside me told me, this is it. That day I felt extremely happy. After a long time there was no sadness, no emptiness, I felt like I had come home.

Today through the Grace of Shree Maharajji, my life has become simpler. My goal is clear - my path is beautiful, and I am deeply grateful.

A.R.J., Texas, U.S.A.

I had gone to India twice, with a strong urge to find a Saint to guide me in my Spiritual life. But I didn’t find what I was looking for. When I first heard Shree Maharajji’s teachings through a discourse by Swamiji at Barsana Dham, I felt as if I had found the piece missing from the puzzle.

I had only known one way of life, to be in the material world and enjoy life. These teachings have affected my mind deeply and has changed my life from material living to a spiritual path where I am taking small steps towards proper sadhana. Now I understand why Shree Swamiji in discourses always mentioned the importance of the guidance of the Spiritual Master in one’s life. Because through the Grace and teachings of Shree Maharajji I have received a precious gift of devotion to Shyama Shyam.
