A historic event took place on 14 January 1957 (Makar Sankranti). On this day, the Kashi Vidwat Parishat, a body of 500 eminent scholars representing the foremost seat of spiritual learning in India, was left spellbound by the scriptural omniscience of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. They were so deeply impressed by his unparalleled mastery of all the scriptures—far surpassing their collective scholarship—that they conferred upon him the title of “Jagadguruttam,” meaning “Spiritual Master of the Whole World.”
Accordingly, 14 January is now also celebrated as “Jagadguruttam Diwas,” to offer our obeisances to the Great Spiritual Master and to commemorate Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj and his universal teachings of Selfless Devotion.
Under the inspiration of Sushri Braj Parikari Devi Ji, the foremost exponent of Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, Nagar Sankirtan has been organized in various places across India, namely Mumbai and Chalisgaon in Maharashtra; Surat in Gujarat; Goa; and Mhow in Madhya Pradesh. We humbly invite you to take this sacred opportunity to immerse yourself in Selfless Devotion through Naam Sankirtan.
