Bhakti Mandir's soulful kirtans and vivid jhankis leave a lasting impact on devotees

Located in Uttar Pradesh near the historic city of Prayagraj, Bhakti Mandir has captured the hearts of millions with its striking architecture and profound spiritual appeal.

Founded in 2005 by the fifth original Jagadguru, Kripalu Ji Maharaj, Bhakti Mandir celebrates its foundation day on the occasion of Dhanteras. The temple’s breathtaking beauty, artistry, and serene atmosphere make it one of India’s most treasured devotional landmarks. Interestingly, Vrindavan’s renowned Prem Mandir and Barsana’s Kirti Mandir have also been established by Kripalu Ji Maharaj.

A Unique Architectural Masterpiece

The temple’s 105-foot shikhar, adorned with a golden flag, stands as a living tribute to vedic architecture. Constructed from pink sandstone, white marble, and black granite, Bhakti Mandir captivates with its beauty. Intricate carvings on pillars, walls, and spires elevate its grandeur and artistic charm.

Stepping inside the temple, devotees are moved by its serene energy and refined aesthetics. The main sanctum, featuring Radha-Krishna and Sita-Ram deities, fills the heart with fulfillment, transporting devotees into the realm of bliss. Portraying both Radha-Krishna and Sita-Ram provides the temple with a unique spiritual identity.

Surrounded by lush greenery, the temple’s tranquil ambiance imparts peace and a deep sense of spirituality to the visitors. Its immaculate cleanliness and organization further distinguish it from other sacred sites. Since Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’s departure to the divine abode in 2013, Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat chairperson HH Dr. Vishakha Tripathi Ji has steadfastly upheld the Parishat’s mission of public welfare. Under her leadership, the temple continues to achieve unprecedented levels of prominence.

A Sanctuary of Spirituality and Devotion

Bhakti Mandir has emerged as a hub of spirituality and devotion. The temple’s aartis, soul-stirring kirtans, and vivid jhankis leave a lasting impact on devotees. Iconic jhankis, such as young Krishna dancing on Kaliya Naag’s hood, Bhagwan Ram worshipping Shiv Ji at Rameshwaram along with Lakshman Ji and Hanuman Ji, Radha-Krishna’s Ras Leela, and Kevat performing the abhishek of Bhagwan Ram's lotus feet, draw visitors with their deep symbolic resonance.

Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’s teachings, from his book Bhakti Shatak - a collection of 100 easy-to-understand couplets - are inscribed throughout the temple, offering messages of divine love and devotion that guide worshippers toward life’s highest purpose—liberation from material bonds and union with the Divine. Open to visitors of all faiths and religions, Bhakti Mandir stands as a beacon of religious harmony.

Special Celebration on Festivals

Festivals at Bhakti Mandir bring a special radiance to this sacred temple. Major events like Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Ram Navami , Holi , and Diwali are celebrated with grandeur and devotion. The temple is beautifully adorned, with special prayers, kirtans, and cultural programs enriching the spiritual experience. Janmashtami, especially, is celebrated with extraordinary fervor, drawing thousands to immerse in Radha-Krishna’s divine love.

Center of Devotion and Philanthropy

Beyond devotion, Bhakti Mandir is a force for social service. Inspired by Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’s teachings, the temple’s trust, Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, supports healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation. Schools, colleges, hospitals, and other charitable initiatives managed by the temple provide crucial assistance to millions of impoverished individuals.

With ongoing relief programs, the temple has become a vital support system for those in need, greatly enhancing its social standing. This outreach has transformed Mangarh and the neighbouring areas of Prayagraj, reducing social challenges and creating new opportunities in education and employment.

In just 19 years, Bhakti Mandir has made a special place in the hearts of millions of devotees.
