JAGIA MADHAI FOUNDATION
Who We Are
The Jagai Madhai Foundation (JMF) is a nonprofit organization and the proud sponsor of the Bhakti Recovery Group (BRG) and the Bhakti Discovery Group (BDG), along with their activities and programs.
The Bhakti Recovery Group (BRG) offers a path of recovery through the Twelve Steps and the practice of bhakti yoga for those struggling with addictions, anarthas, and destructive behavior patterns.
The Bhakti Discovery Group (BDG) focuses on emotional and spiritual well-being, offering guidance and practical tools for understanding our inner life and strengthening our spiritual practice.
Our purpose
To support individuals recovering from addictions and self-destructive patterns through the integration of the 12 Steps and Bhakti Yoga offering a confidential, spiritually aligned path to recovery specifically for the Krishna conscious community.
Our Mission
Our mission is to offer and maintain a consistent, safe, and sustainable space for recovery through the Twelve Steps and the practice of bhakti yoga. We carry this message in loving service to all who struggle with anarthas, addictions, and other destructive behavior patterns.
Our Vision
To make Bhakti 12 step Recovery commonplace in our community so none struggling with addictions, anarthas or associated behaviors has to suffer alone.
Why It Matters
Anarthas, addictions, and destructive behavior patterns are widespread in society, and devotional communities are not immune. Because of stigma and fear of judgment, many struggle silently and alone, with nowhere to turn for safe and confidential support.
We, the Jagai Madhai Foundation, carry and support our most vulnerable devotees, offering a safe and confidential space for those struggling with anarthas, addictions, and destructive behavior patterns.
Our Impact

• People who were suffering in silence are no longer alone and finally have a place to come to
• Cultivates spiritual awakening through daily practice in 12 step Krishna consciousness
• Transforms identity from “self-centered” to “servant/devotee”
• Builds tools for lifelong spiritual and emotional resilience
• Spiritual solutions to material problems become usable tools in daily life
• Many experience deep relief in discovering a safe space where they are understood and supported unconditionally
Community Impact
• The healthier the individual, the healthier the community
