Divya Ras Bindu

Our most revered Gurudev, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, worked tirelessly for our spiritual welfare and upliftment, dedicating 91 years of His life, to help us progress on the path of practicing selfless, unalloyed devotion to Shri Radha Krishna - The Divine Couple.

On the auspicious day of Jan 14th, Shri Maharaj Ji was honored with the title of "Jagadguruttam", on 14 Jan 1957. We, his devotees at Shri Kripalu Kunj Ashram, offer our humble obeisances to Him by dedicating this series of articles called 'Divya Ras Bindu' unto His lotus feet. These brief, easy to read devotional articles will be delivered to your email inbox once every month and will cover the entire philosophy of devotion and divine love bliss.

We would love to hear from you. So, please contact us to provide your feedback and/or send questions to be answered in upcoming editions. Or just write to us to keep in touch.

Why the condition of selflessness?

Question: Crying out to the Lord Almighty without any trace of a desire for self happiness is considered as the strongest pillar of devotion. However, we tend to call out to God, our most merciful all powerful eternal father, only when we are in despair, when all the doors are closed on us, when we lose all hope or when we really want something and cannot find a way to get it. Is there anything wrong in calling out to God, in such situations?

One cannot attract Shri Krishna even if one were to perfectly observe karm, gyan or yog. He accepts only those who renounce all other desires and surrender unto Him alone.

We hear two contradictory attributes of God.

1. He is The Supreme Impartial Judge, who awards fruits for every action of human beings.
2. He forgives sins of His devotees.

It creates doubt about His authenticity as a judge. Our logic says, since He favors His devotees He cannot not be called Impartial.
