Greatness Glorifying Greatness
This souvenir is a delight to read and a joy to behold. Flicking through its glossy pages, it is difficult to know whether Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj is glorifying divine love in the form of this temple, or whether it is divine love, in the form of Prem Mandir, that is glorifying Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
The Temple of Divine Love in Shri Vrindavan Dham is not only a remarkable architectural wonder, but a conscious elucidation of the magnificence of its creator, bhakti yoga rasavatara, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. The story behind its twelve year journey is lavishly told in this beautifully presented coffee table book/magazine.
Prem Mandir Souvenir presents all the information one would expect in a historical account of this kind. Numerous colour photographs show its pristine white walls beautified with Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's interpretation of Vedic philosophy, rendering them like the pages of some sacred text. There are captivating dioramas presenting the essence of the Shrimad Bhagavatam and showing the four previous Jagadgurus and other great Rasika Saints.
The book beautifully captures the Deities - the captivating Shri Radha Krishna on the ground floor and the charismatic Shri Sita Rama on the first floor. The story of their unveiling is a real highlight of the publication, along with pictorial reviews of the first-ever anniversary celebration and Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's two live telecasted discourses on Janmashtami and Radhashtami in 2013. Two transcripts of important discourses delivered by him give a unique insight into the supremacy of divine love.
