The Youth of Today.

The bus tour is certainly an enriching experience, but the most significant part for most people is the friendships they form. Living in such close proximity to other Vaisnava youth for 10 weeks helps to create bonds between people which make it so difficult to say good bye at the end of the summer.

The Hare Krishna Youth Ministry is a non-profit organisation, so participants pay a fee to keep the project running i.e to cover the cost of petrol, bhoga etc. Most of the “Bustourians” come from Alachua and other parts of the US and Canada, but many come from further afield. This year people came from Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, England, Ireland and Australia to be on the bus tour. I would like to say thank you to Manu and Jaya Radhe for their tireless work to keep everything running smoothly, and for inspiring countless teenagers over the years to become more Krsna conscious.
