Devotees then pulled the Rath, which began from Bhakti Dham and moved towards the Jagadguru Kripalu Chikitsalaya premises located at Mangarh Dham Road. Here, Prasad was given to all visitors and members of the public. The beautiful chariot was then pulled towards Khanwari Road where many more thousands stood to watch as 'Hari Bol', 'Radhe, Govinda' and 'Guru, Govinda' were sung in an extremely heart-touching manner. Along the way, hundreds of villagers stood waiting with Aarti plates and performed Aarti to Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj when His chariot passed by. The Rath was then taken to Bhakti Mandir as everyone danced with great joy.

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj was born on October 5, 1922, on the auspicious occasion of Sharad Purnima. By the early 1940s, He started explaining the concepts of devotion through lectures by travelling to different parts of India to share His knowledge. In 1957, He was conferred the title of Jagadguru, by the Kashi Vidvat Parishat, a prestigious and exclusive body of 500 of the most revered Vedic scholars. He was only 34 years of age at the time. Since then He had worked tirelessly to spread the philosophy of the Vedas to the entire world. Masses would gather at the venues to get a glimpse of Him. Now His philosophy reaches millions through television and other online channels.
