ISKCON Youth Sankirtana Bus Tour Across Mexico
\nISKCON Youth Ministry\u2019s annual Mexico Bus Tour is coming up December 9, 2016 – January 3, 2017, taking youth and young adults ages 16 and older on an amazing adventure of a lifetime. Young people will be flying in from all over the USA and Canada, the UK to spend three weeks traveling across Mexico, presenting Krishna culture festivals in towns and villages, going on Harinama Sankirtana, and visiting Mayan pyramids, jungle waterfalls and beaches along the way.<\/p>\n

Participants will get a taste for the pioneering spirit of spreading Krishna consciousness to fortunate souls in remote places. Here the youth get to do everything. We\u2019ll roll into a village with our bus, unload in the central square, set up a festival. A team of youth begin cooking a feast. Another team prepare the stage, sound system and lights, while dancers dress up, actors make up, and kirtaniyas rehearse. Meanwhile, the village chief has mobilized a promotional campaign: a rickety old truck with loudspeakers drives up and down every street announcing \u201cFestival cultural de la India! Musica! Danza! Teatro! Comida!\u201d Soon, the square fills with people. The festival begins. Kirtan, dance, theater, film, more kirtan, and finally a prasadam feast for everyone, along with book tables.<\/p>\n

We announce that \u201ceverything you\u2019ve seen here tonight is from these books. Please don\u2019t leave without getting a book as a souvenir.\u201d At the end of the evening, we pack everything and everyone back into the bus, and there\u2019s this exhilarating feeling of accomplishment among the youth, having just made their own contribution to help spread Lord Chaitanya\u2019s Sankirtana Movement to another town, another village. In this way we continue across Mexico for three weeks of an incredible adventure. (There are options to meet us along the way for those who cannot come on the whole tour.)<\/p>\n

We encourage youth to travel on this tour, get inspired, and then inspire others at your temple when they return. The per-person cost for youth varies (from $500 up to $900) depending on how many sign up, and how many donations we\u2019re able to raise. Website: youthbustour.com.
