<a id="line-1"></a>personality soaked in the bliss of divine love left the  
<a id="line-2"></a>learned gathering completely spellbound. They  
<a id="line-3"></a>unanimously admitted that he was not only a great  
<a id="line-4"></a>scholar of the Vedas and all other scriptures, but also an  
<a id="line-5"></a>embodiment of divine love. They then unanimously  
<a id="line-6"></a>honoured him with the title of ‘Jagadguru’. They also  
<a id="line-7"></a>declared that Shri Maharaj Ji is ‘Jagadguruttam,’ supreme  
<a id="line-8"></a>amongst all Jagadgurus.  
<a id="line-9"></a>...dhanyo mānya jagatgurūttama padaiḥ so’yaṁ  
<a id="line-10"></a>samabhyarchyate  
<a id="line-11"></a>This historic event happened on January 14, 1957.  
<a id="line-12"></a>At that time Shri Maharaj Ji was all of 34 years. It is  
<a id="line-13"></a>worth knowing that Shri Maharaj Ji is more than just a  
<a id="line-14"></a>successor to the earlier Jagadgurus. Kashi Vidvat Parishat  
<a id="line-15"></a>honoured him with the title of the fifth “original  
<a id="line-16"></a>Jagadguru” of the world. Prior to him only four Saints  
<a id="line-17"></a>were honoured with the original title of Jagadguru. They  
<a id="line-18"></a>are Jagadguru Shri Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Shri  
<a id="line-19"></a>Ramanujacharya, Jagadguru Shri Nimbarkacharya and  
<a id="line-20"></a>Jagadguru Shri Madhvacharya.  
<a id="line-21"></a>Thus in the present times Jagadguru Swami Shri  
<a id="line-22"></a>Kripalu Ji Maharaj is the fifth Jagadguru in the world’s  
<a id="line-23"></a>history. He propounds the philosophy of reconciliation  
<a id="line-24"></a>while he has proved the philosophical doctrines of all  
<a id="line-25"></a>the four previous Jagadgurus to be true. Shri Kripalu Ji  
<a id="line-26"></a>Maharaj is of the view that there are many paths that  
<a id="line-27"></a>lead us to God realization and yet the path of bhakti is  
<a id="line-28"></a>the best and easily accessible to all.
