Naam Yog Sadhna Mandir (Jai Gurudev Mandir)  is a temple in Mathura, India. It is presided over and was constructed for the guru Jai Gurudev and is also known as the Jai Gurudev Temple.
Every year the temple hosts a Bhaandara festival attracting thousands of participants.

Jai Gurudev dedicated the temple and the annual festival to the guru he followed in earlier life: Ghurelal Ji Maharaj, popularly known as 'Dada Guru', who came from Chirauli in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Jai Gurudev believes that mankind has five weaknesses: lust, anger, greed, attachment and egoism. He says that we are now humans again after millions of years as "lower" species. We should now get to know ourselves and our creator and return to our original home, free from pain and misery.

Jai Gurudev, died on May 18, 2012 at his ashram and there was a conflict between the groups to claim the temple's liability and a legal case had been filed, court ordered to seize all the financial transaction related to the trust.
