The Practice of Gratitude and Meditation

Kripalu Ji emphasized the techniques such as Roopdhyan Meditation as part of his teachings and which assisted the followers in concentrating their minds on the divine shape of God. When one practices gratitude in the course of the meditation, he constantly says that the heart is a womb of divine grace. This agreement between Vedic practice and contemporary spiritual knowledge is what contributes to his being one of the best spiritual leaders of our era.

Conclusion

The event Annapurna Jayanti 2025 is a reminder that it is necessary to also feed the soul as well as the body.

In a world whereby we seek peace and fulfilment, the message of the Kripalu Ji Maharaj is still used to teach mankind that what we eat is not what will nourish us, rather it is the love and gratitude we give to the Divine.
