"[The tour] was AMAZING...what more could you ask for then doing
kirtan on beautiful beaches with other sweet devotee youth, eating
incredibly delicious prasadam, going site seeing, and the best part,
spreading Krsna's Holy name and having SO much fun simultaneously :-)"
--Kalindi, Chicago
"It was the most amazing experience of my life. It was not easy, but the best things never are." :-) --Cristie, Chicago "I was fortunate to be able to go on the tour. I truly feel this project is one of the most important projects ISKCON has to offer. It's totally ecstatic and significant in it's preaching value, and gives our youth (and those not so young) opportunities not to found elsewhere." --Purusartha, Florida
"I loved it so much! I hope to be able to go again sometime." --Krsna
Chandra, Toronto
"You bring people together. We are one big family and we get the
opportunity to associate this way. So thank you! Having not been
raised around devotees it was really nice to connect with others my
age who had grown up in similar situations. There was no explaining,
watering down by beliefs, asking if the food was vegetarian. It was a
simply refreshing experience on that level and I swear the people I
met I already knew from another lifetime and we got to finally see
each other again." --Radha-Prema, Montreal
"I have to say that my only concern was...why hadn't I gone before?!
It was such an amazing and special experience getting to bond with
other devotees that I thought I already knew. I made so many close
friends and we all got a chance to inspire each other. Being a part of
the stage performance was one thing that I absolutely loved. Getting
to spread Krsna to so many people who otherwise would have had no clue
is such a wonderful privilege that [the organizers] gave me that
summer. I was overwhelmed by the response that we got everywhere that
we went. We brought a constant party with us and I loved getting to do
kirtan any time of the day or night with all the people that I love."
--Acyuta Gopi, New York
"Best time of my life :) !!!" --Braja, North Carolina See photos and videos from previous tours at: |
