Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP), previously known as Sadhna Bhawan Trust, is a charitable religious organisation in India. It was established in 1970 by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj[1][2] and continues to run today under the three Presidents he appointed.[3][4][5][6] The philanthropic activities are designed to fulfil the vision of Jagadguru Kripalu, who was entitled with Jagadguru on 14 January 1957.[7] To fulfil his vision, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji established three major temples, Bhakti Mandir (Bhakti Dham, Mangarh), Prem Mandir (Vrindavan) and Kirti Mandir (Barsana).[7]

As a non-profit,[7] charitable,[7][8] educational[7] and spiritual organisation,[7][3][9][10] dedicated to increasing spiritual awareness,[11] JKP works to disseminate the teachings of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj throughout the world.[12] Following a clearly defined set of aims and objectives, JKP continues its work in India and globally, focusing on the growing number of people seeking spiritual guidance and support. In addition to this, JKP also works to cater to broader social welfare issues, such as educating and providing medical care to those at a disadvantage in society.[4][5][10] This work has increased substantially over the years and JKP's three hospitals[13] now cater to over 450,000 people annually. Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat was established in 1972 with the aim of teaching the eternal knowledge of the Vedas to seekers globally and helping society by conducting philanthropic and humanitarian efforts.[7]
