vishesh kripa | विशेष कृपा

Vishesh Kripa (Devanagari: विशेष कृपा; ISO 15919: viśēṣa kr̥pā) refers to Special Grace.

Unlike General Grace (Samanya Kripa), which is universal, Special Grace is bestowed exclusively upon those who sincerely desire to attain God. It manifests in three profound ways:

• Divine Memory: When a soul reincarnates, it forgets its past spiritual efforts. However, God remembers. He restores all the spiritual progress (Bhakti) achieved in previous lives, ensuring no effort is lost.
• Divine Arrangement: God orchestrates the circumstances of the seeker's life to ensure they meet a genuine, God-realized Saint (Guru).
• Divine Conviction: God provides the internal intuition and conviction necessary for the seeker to recognize the Saint as their true guide. The Guru then imparts the knowledge required to attain the Divine.
