Bhakti Dham, formerly known as Mangarh, narrates its life story and transformation under the guidance of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. The village, once unknown, was raised with love and care to become a spiritual beacon for seekers of divine love.
I was once a tiny, little-known village called Mangarh before Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj transformed me into the divine and glorious BHAKTI DHAM.
With such tender love and care,
He raised me and then established me before the entire world,
To serve as a guiding light; a spiritual beacon for seekers of divine love.
O Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharajttam! O Golokvasi! I have no words to describe your glory.
I now have only one desire remaining, I beg you! Please do not ever forget me.
Whenever you wish to reappear or descend on this planet,
I solemnly pray that you make me your home each and every time.
For the benefit of all your devotees, I have preserved the sweet loving memories of your divine touch and blissful
Divine pastimes deep inside my heart for all eternity. O my beloved Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj!
I offer my humble prostration before you, and in deep prayer, 1 beg you to reserve a place for me in the corner of your heart. O the dearest son of Mother Bhagavati! I render my countless obeisance at your lotus feet.
Embracing my Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’s countless divine lilas in my heart, I have ensured their preservation for generations to come. In fact, every pore of my being is imbued with his holiness and blessedness. Every molecule of my existence every tree, every branch, every leaf; every lane, every track, every road, and every brick, resonates with the sweet relishable name of Radhe every moment. The deep voice of my beloved Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj permeates the atmosphere all around me.
All our Vedic scriptures that served him for ninety years, are now eagerly awaiting his reappearance, so that Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj can bless them once again, by reciting their words and revealing their innermost secrets. Feeling lost and orphaned by his absence, they wonder who other than he possesses the power and authority to reveal their timeless truths. Every scripture feels deeply indebted to our Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj for his countless blessings. He very simply revealed their intricacies using common language and thereby benefitted countless fallen souls. Whatever the prevailing circumstance, be it rain or sunshine, day or night, our Beloved Master never missed an opportunity to reveal and explain the hidden reality Within our scriptures, for the benefit of all souls under the sway of maya, who are living in this dreadful materialistic age of Kall.
My compassionate Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj ceaselessly showered his causeless grace equally upon all, be they his admirer or opponent, without any distinction. Perhaps there has never been another descension in recorded history who has been as gracious as KRIPALU. It is doubtful if any descension in the future will equal or surpass his record of bestowing grace on suffering souls. Even though he was an avatar of the highest caliber, he set a personal example of how an ideal sadhaka should practice devotion. In doing so, his life was his teaching where every action was either a practical representation of a sadhaka ora siddha.
All Vedic scriptures are firmly entrenched in me because, to them, I embody and represent their very own beloved Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. These scriptures are now permanently established within my fold, pervading my every pore.
Bhakti Dham further said, “How do I describe my glory? The names, qualities, and attributes of Shri Radharani are constantly being sung by devotees within me, and as a result, Shri Radharani has established Herself within my abode. Since Radharani resides here, Shyamasundara Eagerly awaits Her with aarti thali in hand, hoping that some devotee will call out to Her with intense yearning in his heart, thereby forcing Her to manifest-giving Him the opportunity to perform Her aarti and serve Her lotus feet.”
Just then the mighty Prayagraj (the confluence of the three sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati) appeared and sought permission to stay here forever. To my great surprise, my beloved Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj came in person and nodded his head in confirmation, and said, “Yes. Yes. All holy places of pilgrimage have congregated in my BHAKTI DHAM.” Continuing after a pause, he then said, “Wherever the names, attributes, and lilas of Shyama Shyam are sung by devotees, all holy places immediately rush to that spot. In fact, all divine powers rush to and appear at that place making it the holiest of all.” Hearing these words from Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, Bhakti Dham was filled with joy and wondered whether there was any other place on this earth more blessed.
My beloved Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj descended from Divine Goloka and appeared right here in Bhakti Dham, and strangely, he ascended to Goloka from here too. Thus, my importance and spiritual significance are beyond words. The air, earth, water, sky, and divine energy filling my environment are all personifications of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj himself. As a little child, he played in my lap and finally merged himself into my being and my very existence. The truth is that all genuine devotees constantly experience the presence of my Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj in each and every particle of my existence.
Conclusion: Bhakti Dham stands as a testimony to the transformative power of divine love and the grace of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Its very existence resonates with the teachings and presence of the beloved Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, and it continues to inspire seekers of all generations.
