A Heartfelt Tribute to Our Beloved “Badi Didi” from JKP: Publication Department

Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat: Publication Department offers this heartfelt tribute to our beloved and revered Badi Didi, Sushri Dr Vishakha Tripathi Ji.

 Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, whom we remember as the embodiment of one whose thoughts, resolves, and desires come true, eloquently described the qualities of Vishakha Sakhi, one of the eight principal consorts of Shri Radha Rani, in his unparalleled devotional scripture, Prem Ras Madira, under the chapter "Mahasakhi Madhuri." Vishakha Sakhi is praised for being Radha's constant companion and equally resplendent in beauty, earning the name Anuradha. Maharaj Ji describes her as:

 It was no coincidence that Maharaj Ji lovingly named our Badi Didi "Vishakha," for every word of this description perfectly aligns with her Divine personality.

She extended the essence of “Pyari so ati pyar” (immense love for the Beloved) to all, embodying the Vedic mantra "Sarvam Khalvidam Brahm"—which translates to “Verily all this is Brahm.” She saw the entire world as an extension of Shree Radha’s Divine form and showered her love and care upon everyone.

Badi Didi was the epitome of Grace, determination, and selfless devotion. Her radiant beauty, tinged with a gentle roseate glow, reflected her compassionate heart. Despite her tender demeanor, she possessed an unyielding resolve and indomitable willpower that inspired everyone around her.

Her daily routine, beginning as early as 2 a.m. with Zoom meetings for the benefit of others, and stretching into late-night discussions with Pracharaks, officials, and devotees, bore testimony to her tireless service and unwavering commitment. Like Gudakesha, she seemed to transcend the need for rest, dedicating every moment of her life to Shree Maharaj Ji’s mission.

True to the qualities of Vishakha Nakshatra, which is governed by the “Guru” planet, she exuded wisdom, patience, and mastery over her familial, spiritual, and social responsibilities. Her life was a perfect blend of Divine virtues and human excellence, serving as a beacon for all.

We also recognize the powerful grip of Maya, whose elements are ever-ready to divert us from the lotus feet of Shri Maharaj Ji. However, inspired by your divine life and teachings, we stand united in making a solemn vow at your holy feet. We shall dedicate our body, mind, and soul to fulfilling the dreams you nurtured for Shri Maharaj Ji’s mission.

Whether it be completing Maharaj Ji’s Museum, supporting free education and healthcare initiatives, or tirelessly working for the welfare of the underprivileged, we shall remain steadfast in contributing to these noble endeavors.

With folded hands, we also resolve to work hand-in-hand with Majhali Didi and Chhoti Didi, who stand as pillars of strength, ensuring that their every resolve is fulfilled with unwavering commitment.

Badi Didi, your inspiring messages, filled with hope and determination, will continue to illuminate our path as we dedicate ourselves entirely to the service of the divinely ordained organization, Ashrams, and Temples established by Shri Maharaj Ji.

Dearest Badi Didi, we bow at your revered feet with countless salutations and eternal gratitude.

Your memory will forever remain etched in our hearts as we strive to honor your legacy.

In profound reverence,

Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat: Publication Department
