About Us

We began Kishori Yatra in 2008. The main inspiration for creating the tour was the Krishna Culture Festival Tour (the Bus Tour) for ages 16 -25 and the Summer Trip for Boys ages 12 - 15. We wanted young ladies to have the same opportunities as their older peers and boys their own age.

The organizers are Jaya Radhe dasi and Anapayini dasi, both accomplished devotees within our ISKCON Society.

Jaya Radhe dasi has been organizing the Bus Tour since 1995 with her husband, Manu dasa, and has been an elementary school teacher since 1999. She has also completed her Masters in Educational Administration.

Anapayini dasi is a professional bharatanatyam dancer and has her own dance academy named Bhakti-kalalayam Dance Academy in Alachua, FL. She has been teaching dance since 2000 and has also travelled on the Bus Tour as a co-organizer for several years.

Jaya Radhe dasi and Anapayini dasi partner with like-minded devotee friends to present Kishori Yatra as an offering to Srila Prabhupada. Some of the other chaperones are fellow teachers, parents, and dedicated devotees.
