De-Addiction Programme
Overcoming addiction through spiritual strength — the Hare Krishna path offers a natural, permanent, and deeply fulfilling alternative.
A Spiritual Solution
ISKCON Kanpur's de-addiction programme is based on the understanding that addiction is ultimately a spiritual problem — a search for happiness and fulfilment in the wrong places. Bhakti-yoga offers the genuine satisfaction that the addicted person is truly seeking.
Many devotees worldwide have overcome severe addictions to alcohol, drugs, and tobacco through the practice of Krishna consciousness — the positive power of the maha-mantra, prasadam, devotee association, and a purpose-driven life.
Our programme is completely confidential and free of charge. We work with the individual and their family, providing ongoing spiritual and practical support.
The Path to Freedom
Kirtan Therapy
Regular chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra has proven effective in reducing cravings and anxiety — a natural and powerful de-stressor.
Spiritual Counselling
One-on-one sessions with experienced devotees to address the underlying causes of addiction — loneliness, lack of purpose, and emotional pain.
Sattvic Diet
Switching to prasadam — a pure, vegetarian diet free of meat, alcohol, and stimulants — helps cleanse the body and calm the mind.
Community Support
The devotee community provides a warm, non-judgmental support network — replacing harmful associations with uplifting, loving friendships.
