Kripa Mangalore

By the grace of God and blessings of my dear Mummy, I complete 22 years in recovery today. For someone who could not abstain from drugs for 5 seconds, this is nothing short of a miracle.

For so many years I hated the person I was. I had become everything that I despised in a human being. Infact drugs had turned me into an animal. I came to the program of Narcotics Anonymous completely broken and willing to try anything to get out of the existence that I called life.

Today, with the help of the program of Narcotics Anonymous and the 12 Steps, my life has been transformed into something beautiful which words cannot describe. I have learned to love myself with all my limitations and shortcomings, and strive every day to be a better person. I wish to convey my thanks to my dear Mum who believed in me before I knew who I was, my Narcotics Anonymous sponsor who held my hand and led me through the steps of recovery, all my family and friends who continue to support me in my new life One Day at the Time

It is a well-known truth that our bodies never lie!
This practise is an attempt to love one’s body back to life and make of it a pleasing offering to God. Yoga helps in conditioning the body that is the temple of God’s spirit to be in a state of preparedness, which is deep inner stillness of being. If one gets even a little support and cooperation from one’s body, it goes a long way to help the actual practice of meditation.

INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST DRUG ABUSE AND ILLICIT TRAFFICKING 2025
Kripa Foundation, Mangalore conducted a drug awareness program at Capitanio High School and Pre University College on June 26, 2025. The program began with a discussion on drugs addiction trying to ascertain the level of knowledge of the participants.

The speaker went on to expain how in 1956, the AMA (American Medical Association) and WHO (World Health Organization) had redefined alcoholism and subsequently addiction as illnesses thereby eradicating the stigma attached to these maladies.

Next, we dwelt upon the nature of the disease and how it affects the entire family and society as a whole. The Kripa module of treatment was emphasized and highlighting how if helps in wholistic healing of both the patient and the family.

Further global and local statistics were highlighted after which all present took the oath.

Thereafter, 2 patients undergoing treatment at Kripa, Mangalore shared their testimonies.

This year the theme is “Breaking the chains: Treatment, Prevention and Recovery for All.” Let us strive to make treatment available to all suffering from this life-threatening disease and through awareness programs for high risk target groups, endeavour to reduce the rampant spread of these maladies. "To be aware is to be alive."
