The Significance of January 14th: A Historical Conferral

More than just the start of a new year, January holds profound historical significance, particularly on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti, January 14th. It was on this date that the revered Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj graciously accepted the singular title of “Jagadguru,” an honor bestowed after a hiatus of 700 years.

The Unique Title of "Jagadguruttam"

This occasion was unprecedented in Indian history, as it marked the very first time the title of "Jagadguruttam"—meaning 'Best Of All Jagadgurus'—was conferred. This esteemed recognition acknowledged Swami Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj not only as the supreme master of knowledge but also as the foremost authority on devotion (Bhakti). He is renowned for his exceptional ability to harmonize and respect the teachings of all previous Jagadgurus, authentic scriptures, and saints, while presenting his own insights in perfect accordance with ancient Hindu scriptures.

Our Reverence

We offer our deepest reverence and countless obeisances to the lotus feet of the foremost saint and our beloved master, Jagadguruttam Swami Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
