BRG: Recovery for the Krishna Conscious Community 

Who we are

The Bhakti Recovery Group is an all-inclusive 12-Step/bhakti-oriented fellowship that brings together people who share their experience, strength, and hope, as it relates to finding freedom from various addictions, anarthas and associated behaviors. The only requirement for membership is the desire for recovery. Our primary purpose is to stay in the process of recovery through the 12 steps and the practice of bhakti yoga, carrying this message in loving service to others who are struggling with their addictions and associated behaviors.

​

The Problem

Across temples, Bhakti Centers, and isolated homes, many devotees struggle with pornography, substance issues, compulsive behaviors, and dysfunctional patterns. 

Anartha's addictions and associated behaviors spill into service, relationships, and spiritual life. The demand for recovery now far exceeds the needed local support, skills and resources available.

​

Why BRG Works

Combining the world’s most trusted recovery method—the 12 Steps—with Bhakti principles, the BRG freely provides what devotees cannot find anywhere else in a regular 12 step meeting- confidential, safe Krishna Conscious recovery.

​

The Solution　

Recovery is a continual process of surrender, identifying destructive patterns, letting them go, and learning a new way to live—with connection, accountability, and Krishna at the center.  The BRG offers exactly that: ongoing support, consistent community, and real tools for permanent transformation.

​

BRG Current Impact

5 years of service and steady growth

• 20 meetings weekly (17 online, 2 in person, 1 hybrid)

• 100+ participants from 9+ countries (Australia, India, North America, England, Germany, South Africa, Chile, Mexico  and more)

• Weekly podcast + monthly interviews & engagements

• 6+ personal endorsements from senior leaders, including HH Radhanath Swami & HH Sacinandana Swami

• Hundreds of heartfelt testimonies from grateful devotees helped by BRG

​

The Next Step

Meetings alone cannot address the depth of addiction, trauma, and isolation we are now seeing in growing numbers. We are building a stronger BRG with structured programs and mentorship training to reduce relapse, offer clear guidance, and support long-term recovery—significantly expanding beyond  the impact our current meetings provide.
