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

As a non-profit, charitable, educational and spiritual organization, dedicated to increasing spiritual awareness, JKP works to disseminate the teachings of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj throughout the world. 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. This work has increased substantially over the years, and JKP's three hospitals now cater to over 450,000 people annually. The establishment of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat in 1970 aimed to impart the eternal knowledge of the Vedas to seekers worldwide and contribute to society through philanthropic and humanitarian endeavors.

JKP Philanthropy

JKP, seeks to continue serving people who are in need of welfare. The appointed JKP presidents are moving forward with the goals set out by the founder.

Under the umbrella of JKP, there are three main philanthropic groups that have been established by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. In March 2020, in continuance of the legacy of humanitarian and philanthropic efforts of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, JKP Presidents Vishakha Tripathi Ji, Shyama Tripathi Ji and Krishna Tripathi Ji have confirmed a contribution of Rs100 Lakhs to the Prime Minister's CARES Fund. This initiative was taken to help the Uttar Pradesh state government in its fight against the COVID-19 outbreak.

JKP Hospitals

The first philantropic group is Jagadguru Kripalu Chikitsalaya (JKC), a free charitable hospital group that was established in 2003. The setup of JKC started with hospitals setup in Kunda (November 2003) and then in Barsana (January 2007), which are both in Uttar Pradesh. JKC has helped thousands of sick villagers in these remote locations in India where there is lack of medical facilities. In September 2015, JKC opened its third facility in Vrindavan, housing important medical equipment, doctors' and nurses' living quarters, as well as 100 beds to treat patients. These hospitals provide healthcare facilities to poor people in the villages.

JKP Education

The second group under JKP is Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Education (JKPE), which provides free schooling to over 5000 village girls living near and around Kunda. The schooling covers pre-primary to post-graduate levels using high quality technology and amenities via three institutions at Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh. Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Education offers education to underprivileged girls from Pratapgarh and nearby areas, and has helped over 55,000 children from these areas. Warm jackets and food bowls are provided regularly for school children from Pratapgarh, Vrindavan, and Barsana.

JKP Social

The third group is JKP's task of providing social services in as many ways as possible. This is done through the various funds to help widows, the poor, and the underprivileged.

As of April 2020, 35,000 impoverished people had been given resources by JKP in December 2019 to stay comfortable during winter. The Poor Relief Fund operated under JKP helps give out warm blankets, jackets, clothing, food items, school bags and resources (benches, chairs etc) and many other necessities to almost 100,000 impoverished individuals every year to Braj residents of Brindavan and Barsana.
