Pandava Sena
Sunday, May 1st, 2022Pandava Sena are the youth group of the Bhaktivedanta Manor. Their aim is to make spirituality more relevant and interesting for the youth, so they can live a life less ordinary. Pandava Sena aims to provide young people the unique opportunity to become the best that they can be, on a spiritual and material level. They connect like-minded souls to the timeless philosophy of the Vedas, so that young people can grow and thrive in the ever-changing and somewhat chaotic 21st century world we live in.
You can meet the Pandava Sena every Sunday at Bhaktivedanta Manor, between 5pm-7:30pm with an interactive event, including talks & games. To find out more, please contact Shyamali (07902 639656) or Gopinath (07716 455116)
“Good association can help make any service incredible”
Raam Gor, 18, is the current President of ISKCON Pandava Sena.
He had been attending Pandava Sena events since he was a child, but he began getting involved with active service from the age of 12, helping to set up outreach projects for the under 15s.
“The aim of the PSena is to instigate a spiritual revolution in society, ” Raam explained. “It aims to pitch spiritual life in an unconventional and dynamic way for young people, helping make our lives less ‘ordinary’”.
“The people that you get to spend time with and serve with is what motivates me the most. Good association can help make any service incredible, even for someone as lazy as me! A lot of my enthusiasm actually comes from the energy of others.”
