About Us

This is the 3rd summer of Kishori Yatra. The main inspiration for creating the tour was the Krishna Culture Festival Tour (the Bus Tour) for ages 16 -25 and the Summer Trip for Boys ages 12 - 15. We wanted young ladies to have the same opportunities as their older peers and boys their own age.

The organizers are Jaya Radhe dasi and Anapayini dasi, both accomplished devotees within our ISKCON Society.

Jaya Radhe dasi has been organizing the Bus Tour for the past 15 years with her husband, Manu dasa, and has been an elementary school teacher for the past 10 years. She has just completed her Masters in Educational Administration.

Anapayini dasi is a professional bharatanatyam dancer and has her own dance academy named Bhakti-kalalayam Dance Academy in Alachua, FL. She has been a teaching dance for the past ten years and has also travelled on the Bus Tour as a co-organizer for the past three years.

Jaya Radhe dasi and Anapayini dasi partner with like-minded devotee friends to present Kishori Yatra as an offering to Srila Prabhupada. Some of the other chaperones are fellow teachers, parents, and dedicated devotees.
