Haribol, AGTSP May Lord bless you all more than He already has.
We want to start Bhakti Yoga Anonymous Twelve Step programs wherever there are devotees interested. I am in South Africa and there is some interest here and in Peurto Rico.
We have adapted the Alcoholics Anon twelve steps and have permission from their World Services Head Quarters to go ahead with our program.
By Lords mercy we have also compiled and written some pre-amble readings, which we can print and preserve in laminate plastic and post. If you have experience in Twelve step meetings, then leading and getting invovled in Bhakti Yoga Anonymous meetings will be very easy. My book called Heal Addiction with Bhakti Yoga and Stay High forever is very relevant for meetings, reading and attracting new non-devotees to the Lords mercy as we know it. Another related book is called Godliness Love and sexuality, the Bhakti Yoga Perspective, which contains more kshatriya type of regulation than abstention philosophy, not for bramacharies.We can post copies to those who want to buy it.
We have created a facebook group called Bhakti Yoga Anonymous, please send join requests and ask other interested people to join - this forum can help us co-ordinate better.
Srila Prabhupadas mercy can further infiltrate the consciousness of the planet in this systematic way.
Please pray to Lord Nrsimhadeva for success and protection for the program and ourselves.
Yours in service

I would recommend Kaliyugaholics Anonymous (now a facebook closed group [by request]). It aims to help both addicts and family of addicts who also have some relation to Krishna Consciousness. It delves deeply into topics such as lust, anger, greed as well as Kali Maharaja's influence on this planet. Using many techniques from 12 twelve step it also aims at training devotees and new devotees alike to identify and deal with the underlying causes for so many of the ills of today's world.
Hi all, I am interested and also already have another devotee friend who is also interested. We regularly chat about a 12 step KC Group. If anyone is interested in discussing this further with me please write to me on bakerstride@gmail.com I am happy to discuss my experience, strength and hope.
