NikhildarshanSamanvayacharya: The incomparable contribution of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj

NikhildarshanSamanvayacharya is a supreme Acharya who is adept in coordinating all the philosophies as per the scriptures of Vedas.

All the previous leaders took up each branch of Vedic and gave it full importance, propagated that relation and proved it to be true, like Jagadguru Shankaracharya first propagated Ardhasad. Similarly, other leaders also propagated speciality Daitaism and Daitaism etc. To eliminate it, they took bhaanas etc. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj was the first Jagadguru who welcomed the views of every Jagatshuru and other powerful mantras equally. Through his amazing Sakon Vedash Pran, he proved the significance of everyone's asceticism and while coordinating the truth, told the summary of all the views and differences and also presented to the public what and how is the benefit of it. It was a very difficult task which Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj presented after a lot of time.

Therefore, the Vidvat Parishad of the times made him NikhitdarshanSamanvayacharya and terrorized him with that also.
