For the Youth, By the Youth!!! Pandava Sena is the congregational youth-group of
Bhaktivedanta Manor. Since starting off in 1994 with the 'Save the Manor' campaign, it has continued to increase in numbers, going from strength to strength, with new branches setting up all over the country (Harrow, East London, Crawley, Birmingham, Leicester etc ), as well as all over the world (America, Africa, Ho
lland and even Kazakhstan!)
Pandava Sena's activities are as varied as the age range of its members: 15-30, being young at heart is what counts! Weekly programmes are held all over the country, where members come to discuss philosophy, sing, dance, eat and basically have a good time! Many Pandava Sena members study at university, taking the spiritual vibe with them to share with their fellow students. The mantra meditation and bhakti-yoga workshops, festivals, retreats, vegetarian cooking classes and so on are held regularly, and afford the students a time to relax, contemplate and get away from the hustle and bustle and pressures of student-life in the modern day. With Krishna Consciousness Societies in campuses far and wide, and thousands of members, this makes it the largest student spiritual society in the country. Pandava Sena also organise and create festivals, retreats, music, dramas, discussions, presentations, debates etc to carry a simple and relevant message to the youth.
