JKYog Celebrates Affiliate JKP Educations Nelson Mandela Peace Award

With Aim to Inspire Youth to Community Service
PLANO, TX, April 30, 2014 --- JKYog centers throughout the US, part of the worldwide
mission of Jagadguru Kripaluji Maharaj,

will be celebrating the work of Jagadguru

Kripaluji Maharajs charitable organization (JKP) which just received the Nelson Mandela
Peace Award, using the occasion as an opportunity to inspire and instill the importance
of selfless service in youth in their local communities.
Kripaluji Maharajs decades of selfless service has inspired
long standing charitable works which have recently garnered
multiple prestigious awards including the Rajiv Gandhi Global
Excellence Award and the Mother Teresa Excellence Award.
While JKP runs numerous 100% free charitable endeavors
including free hospitals, the Nelson Mandela Peace Award
was bestowed for providing 100% free education from
kindergarten to postgraduate studies to over 5,000 girls in
rural poverty-stricken part of India.
We commemorate this effort, grateful for the invaluable treasures and legacies of
Jagadguru Kripaluji Maharaj by bringing his
values closer to people. While the award and the
work done to receive it was far from the US, the
value of selfless service needs to be carried
forward and valuable lessons learnt from it,
wherever we are and whatever community we
serve. We will

be using JKP Educations

internationally recognized project to uplift and improve communities as an example to

instill the value of selfless service in our youth through our character building and
leadership programs throughout the US, explained Swami Mukundananda, founder of
JKYog.
JKYog, with 20 centers across the US, strives to implement the core message of selfless
service through its initiatives for health, wellness, spirituality and education in yogic
sciences throughout the US, and internationally. JKYog projects in the US include a
youth character building program -- Bal-Mukund, inspiring youth towards become

positive contributors to society, through education in the values and virtues found in the
Vedas.
