Part 3 of lecture series given by Swami Nikhilanand Ji, Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, Texas. - Since 1938, at the age of 16, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj has been showering Braj ras, the highest Bliss of the love of Radha Krishn. He does so through his kirtan and pad (devotional songs about Radha Krishn), of which he has produced an immense quantity.
He has revealed thousands of kirtan and bhajan which describe the Divine names, leelas, virtues and decorations of Radha Krishn for the meditation of the devotees. By singing these songs and meditating on Radha and Krishn, devotees purify their hearts and begin to experience the bliss of Radha Krishn name.
These devotional songs are not only the literal descriptions, but are also imbued with the Divine Grace and love of Radha Krishn, which can be experienced on the basis of a person's faith. When Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj himself sings the kirtan in his Divine voice, then a receptive heart may experience the flow of the ocean of Braj ras from within Shree Kripaluji Maharaj.
