From June 21 till August 25, youth from around the world will travel across the USA and Canada for nine weeks on the ultimate road trip adventure, the Krishna Culture Festival Tour 2008. We’ll perform dance, drama, and kirtana, distribute books and prasadam in theaters, at university auditoriums, and at Ratha-yatras, plus we’ll camp, hike, swim, climb, raft whitewater, see many of the most scenic places of North America, visit many temples and beautiful Deities, and make new friends. The purpose of the tour is to inspire, train, engage and empower each other in Krishna consciousness. The festival tour is organized jointly by volunteers of ISKCON Youth Ministry and Festival of India.
Take a look at an online video of last year’s tour:

You’ll find our detailed tour schedule and costs posted in the News section at Gurukuli. com.
There are several options, including the whole tour, or the first or second half — for those who wish to attend Kulimela Radhadesh as well… Kulimela info is at Kulimela. com
If you are (or someone you know is) interested to come on the tour this year, or sometime in the future, we’d like to hear from you. Send us a quick email to bustour2008@krishna.com so we can send you more information.
(We have both a summer and a winter tour. From mid December until the first week in January, we travel throughout Mexico performing Kirtan Yoga festivals.)
