Philosophy
Kripalvanandji is regarded by his current U.S. followers as a Saint [http://www.lakulishyoga.com/swami_kripalvanandji.asp#biography].
Followers believe that Kripalvanandji's guru, Lord Lakulish, is the 28th and the last avatar of Shiva and the creator of Yoga. Shiva is the supreme god of Hinduism Lakulish.
Swami Kripalu always ended his public discourses
with a blessing such as the one that follows:
May everyone here be happy.
May everyone here be healthy.
May everyone here be prosperous.
May no one be the least little bit unhappy at all.
My auspicious blessing to you. .
