Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat
Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP) is an international non-profit, spiritual, educational and charitable organization. It was founded in 1972 by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj and continues to run under the leadership of three appointed Presidents, Sushri Dr. Vishakha Tripathi Ji, Sushri Dr. Shyama Tripathi Ji and Sushri Dr. Krishna Tripathi Ji.
The organization's mission is to spread the eternal knowledge of the Vedas, promote the practice of devotion and to help society through philanthropic and humanitarian efforts.
For it to be authentic, teachings must be based on the original Hindu scriptures, like the Vedas, Upnishads, Upvedas, Vedangas, Darshan Shastras, Smritis, Gita, Puranas, Bhagavatam, Mahabharat and Ramayan. A key mission of JKP is to ensure that the authentic teachings of Hindu religion are available for future generations.
Our founder, Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj, having been honored as the 5th original Jagadguru in the last 5,000 years, is the most qualified individual to lead this important work. His spiritual teachings dispel the confusion that has prevailed for centuries regarding the true meaning of the Hindu scriptures. Our organization makes the speeches and books of Kripaluji Maharaj available worldwide on television and the internet, for souls to benefit from this knowledge.
Knowledge is incomplete without practical experience. On the path to God, spiritual knowledge (Tattva Gyan) should lead to spiritual practice (Bhakti Yoga) so that through this spiritual practice a soul can attain the ultimate purpose of life, God realization. Among all spiritual practices, Bhakti is supreme, because no other path purifies the mind as quickly, and no other path can take a soul all the way to God realization.
JKP promotes and teaches the Path of Bhakti as described in the Hindu scriptures, and as has been practiced in India for millennia. Bhakti can be practiced to any form of God, Who is only one. Out of all the forms of God, Radha Krishna awards the highest form of Divine Bliss to Their devotees, thus Bhakti towards Radha Krishna is supreme and is known as raganuga bhakti. JKP teaches raganuga bhakti as explained by Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj.
In addition to the spiritual development of human beings, JKP is engaged in charitable activities to improve the material welfare of society.
Our founder, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu ji Maharaj, through his tireless efforts has personally raised millions of dollars, which our worldwide mission has used for the creation and maintenance of charitable hospitals and charitable educational institutions in India. These projects have already benefited millions of rural residents in areas of India that have a great need for such services.
