Education refines human life by helping individuals distinguish between right and wrong and by guiding them in the art of leading an ideal life. Truly, those who possess the key of education can gracefully overcome even the most difficult circumstances and challenges in life.

In today’s world, where education has become an integral part of life, rural areas still suffer from a severe lack of educational facilities. Girls, in particular, are often deprived of the opportunity to study. Many are married off at a young age and burdened with the responsibilities of domestic life. Due to a lack of education, they are unable to face life’s challenges and often live with helplessness and despair.

Taking into account the plight of women and with the noble aim of uplifting them, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, who awakened spiritual consciousness across the world and spread the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), established Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Education. Under this initiative, three educational institutions are currently being run, where girls receive free education from primary level to post-graduation. This not only promotes their all-round development but also instills in them confidence and a spirit of self-reliance and self-defense, empowering them to walk their life path with dignity and strength. Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya is one of these institutions that imparts higher education under the initiative.

In today’s tainted educational climate, where many self-proclaimed providers exploit the futures of students by commercializing education and running it as a business, Shri Maharaj Ji has bestowed an extraordinary blessing upon the families of this region by offering free education. Following the divine guidance and teachings of Shri Maharaj Ji, we remain committed to continuously advancing these institutions toward greater heights of excellence. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our experienced and dedicated teachers, our institutions have consistently delivered excellent academic results — a reflection of our commitment to the all-round development of each student.

Sushri Dr. Vishakha Tripathi Ji, affectionately known as Badi Didi, is the president of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (Kripalu Dham, Mangarh) and its charitable arms Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Education and Jagadguru Kripalu Chikitsalaya. As the eldest daughter of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, she devoted her life to advancing her father and Guru’s divine mission of spiritual upliftment, education, and selfless service to humanity. Under her visionary leadership, Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat expanded into a global spiritual and humanitarian organization. She guided hundreds of JKP centers across India and worldwide, spreading the timeless teachings of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj to millions.

From a young age, Badi Didi was known for her independence, innocence, and cheerful nature. Guided by strong spiritual values and discipline, she pursued higher education in Agra, earning a Master’s degree in Arts with a specialization in Painting. A gifted artist and avid photographer, her creative expression reflected depth, sensitivity, and devotion.

Badi Didi’s deep compassion was especially evident in her commitment to girls’ education. In 1978, when girls’ education in the region was almost non-existent, she took charge of JKPE in Kunda, Pratapgarh. This visionary initiative brought lasting social change, ensuring quality education for girls regardless of their financial background. Through JKPE, thousands of underprivileged girls discovered confidence, independence, and purpose. With access to passionate teachers, modern resources, and extracurricular opportunities, many graduates went on to become teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals—helping their families rise above extreme poverty and contributing meaningfully to society.

Alongside education, Badi Didi made an extraordinary impact in the field of healthcare. Through JKP’s charitable hospitals, millions of people received free, high-quality medical care supported by state-of-theart infrastructure. Her compassion continues to be felt in every patient healed and every life touched.

In recognition of her selfless service and leadership, Badi Didi received numerous prestigious honors, including.

• Mother Teresa Excellence Award (2013)
• Nelson Mandela Peace Award (2014)
• Rajiv Gandhi Global Excellence Award (2013)
• Nari Award (2013)
• World Icon Award (2018)
• Honorary D.Litt., The Open International University for Complementary Medicines, Colombo.

H.H. Dr. Vishakha Tripathi Ji’s life stands as a shining example of devotion, humility, and selfless service. Through world-class educational institutions, charitable hospitals, and renowned temples, she not only transformed countless lives but also glorified the priceless wisdom of her Guru, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
