JKP Editorial Team ·
Pad 5 of the Sadguru-Mādhurī section of Prem Ras Madirā, composed by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, describes the divine greatness and grace of the true Spiritual Master, whose guidance dispels ignorance and inspires pure devotion to Shri Radha-Krishna.
बलि श्री गुरुदेव कृपाल की।
जिनके दिव्य वचन सुनि छूटत, ग्रंथि अविद्या-जाल की।
जिनके वरद-हस्त के सन्मुख, चल न चाल कलिकाल की।
जिनके बनत बिगारि सकत नहिं, माया शक्ति गुपाल की।
जिनके युगल-चरन परसत मन, पावत रति नंदलाल की।
लखत 'कृपालु' अनुग्रह गुरु के, लीला लाड़लि लाल की।

Listening to his divine instructions cuts the knots of ignorance.
The evil effects of this Age of Kali is not felt by the person upon whom he places his protective hand, capable of granting every benediction.
Heading 3
That invincible power of God, known as māyā, cannot cause the slightest disturbance to the person who has become his servant.
Touching his lotus feet with devotion, even with one's mind, fills one with the love of Shyāmasundar.
By the grace of the Guru, one is able to witness the beautiful pastimes of Shri Radha Krishna.
