Jagadguru as title
The title "Jagadguru Ramanandacharya" is used in the lineage of Ramananda, founder of Ramanandi Sampradaya.[1] Rambhadracharya, the founder of Tulsi Peeth within the Ramanandi Sampradaya, was conferred the title "Jagadguru Ramanandacharya" by the Kashi Vidvat Parishad on 24 June 1988.[2]
The Kashi Vidvat Parishad conferred the title of Jagadguru upon Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj in 1957, recognizing him as the foremost spiritual master of the age.[3]
