This blog talks about various mission, Goals and Objectives, Activities of ISKCON Youth Forum (Gurugram) , India from my practical experience

What makes Young people unique?

  • Fearless, brave, impetuous, dynamic, and self-confident: That defines them.
  • They have the ideas, the creativity, and great energy to shape a better world.
  • They are full of hope through innovation and imagination.
  • They are problem solvers and have a great potential to generate positive social change in the world.

Young people are in a continuous search for the transcendence that generates the desire of helping the environment, countries, communities and families.
