WORLD  Vaisnava Youth Seek Bus For Summer Tours BY MANU DASA USA, May 29 (VNN) — Since 1994, ISKCON Youth Ministry has been hosting youth from all over the world on an annual Krishna conscious adventure bus tour to temples, Ratha-yatras, and nature spots across North America. They've finally outgrown their school bus and are ready to move up to a real bus with luggage bins and highway speeds. Help them raise about $3100 as a downpayment to get a loan to purchase the below bus (see link) for the youth bus tours that have been held every year alongside Festival Of India. http://www.heartlandbus.com/VehicleDetail.cfm?StockNo=102 "I've never distributed this many books and had so much fun in Krishna consciousness in my entire life!" - Vrajesh, BC, Canada. "It was amazing! We visited 14 temples in three weeks, we performed a wonderful Ramayana drama, Bharatnatyam, and kirtanas at every temple and at three Ratha-yatras... I don't want this tour to end!" - Lila, CT, USA "The kirtanas we had were so special to me. We would just be driving down the road and someone would start tapping their hands on the side of the bus, another person would pick up a mridanga, another person would start humming a melody, and soon the entire bus would be swept up in a breathtaking kirtana that went on and on for several hours..." - Vrinda, New Zealand Please pass this message along to your friends.
