HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
The youth, however, never got the answers to their questions and they went deeper and deeper into a blind, dark alley. It is there that they suddenly saw light in the form of His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a distinguished scholar and a pure devotee of Lord Krishna, who had stepped on to the shores of America. Over the next decade, he went about transforming the lives of these very youngsters, who were on the precipice of sunset to a new world of joy, happiness and devotion. This he did by revealing the ancient and timeless knowledge of a highly civilized society in the Vedic times, thereby also quashing some theories that the Vedas were meant for people of a particular time, place and nationality.
ROLE OF IYS
Newspaper reports reveal increasing youth related crimes, a sad consequence of blind, hedonistic pursuits, championed by the modern society. Sadly, violence is now spilling out of the T.V screen into the homes and streets of Mumbai. Complex lifestyles, failing family bonds, mushrooming of pubs and discotheques has resulted in disintegration of social and moral values.
As a pure spirit soul, each individual is primarily blissful and happy in nature. Being victimized by such unhealthy and competitive lifestyles, the youth especially are experiencing the resultant frustrations. ISKCON Youth Services, with its team of qualified and dedicated members, is committed to address this scenario and provide an atmosphere in which the youth of today can not only enlighten and save themselves from progressing in the wrong direction, but also redirect themselves to grow into a powerful individual.
