Founded by a great spiritual master Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, Bhakti Dham is not only a complex of temples it is also a divine center of devotion, knowledge, and service without self-regard. It is important to disseminate the everlasting values of Sanatan Dharma, eternal course of righteousness, love and truth. The vision of Kripalu Ji Maharaj Kripalu Ji Maharaj, the fifth original Jagadguru in the history of India established Bhakti Dham. His task was modest but grand to reevoke love for God by upholding practice of bhakti (devotion) based on scriptural knowledge of Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita. Using numerous discourses, kirtans and spiritual gatherings, he highlighted the real meaning of Sanatan Dharma, which is a way of selfless devotion to God, especially Radha Krishna.
