Empowering Youth Through Vedic Wisdom
ISKCON Youth Forum (IYF) envisions a society of dynamic young men, ready to live a life of values, culture and devotion to Krishna. Our mission is to empower everyone with knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita that helps to differentiate between truth and illusion; revive faith that is based on scientific principles, logic and self-realization.
Spiritual life is often misunderstood as dry, rigid, blind submission, devoid of rational thought, denying enjoyment and a paper-theory that never works in practice. We offer a pleasant surprise to the skeptics and suspicious; new light and direction to the confused and frustrated; a meaningful lifestyle to the hip and cool; a genuine experience for the curious and contemporary spiritual seekers. The ever-fresh world of Krishna consciousness challenges one to draw the best of one’s creativity and talent as an offering to Sri Krishna.

Now Is The Time
The first aphorism of the Vedanta Sutra issues a clarion call: athato brahma-jignyasa. “Therefore, now that you have got the human form of life, inquire into the Absolute Truth.” To embark on this spiritual journey in the quest of undying happiness — what better time can there be other than youth, when we are full with energy, enthusiasm and determination? Now is the time to begin this internal revolution of uplifting our consciousness.
