Prajna Youth Club Registration

Jai Srimannarayana!

JETUSA Bay Area is starting a club for all the youth members of Prajna and JET families living in Bay Area. All the students who are in their middle and high school grades can join the youth club.

Prajna Youth Club is a forum for the youth to keep alive their cultural connection and contacts with our rich tradition. Youth members can promote our values, heritage and culture through various culturual, spiritual, educational and community service activities. Activities can take place every month or at the will of the members.

Sri Swamiji and His representatives will be guiding the Youth club members from time to time in their activities.

The Youth Club will meet and function on its own with minimum support and help from the parents and adult members of JETUSA. A very small number of parent/adult volunteers from JETUSA will oversee the meetings and activities conducted by Youth club. The club officers and members can decide on a particular activity and propose it to the parent representatives. Once it is recommended by the parent reps, the proposal will be examined and approved by the JET
USA Bay Area committee. All necessary support in terms of logistics, finances etc will be provided by JET or by the parent volunteers, depending on the merits of each activity.

Some of the activities that can be taken up include - serving lunch for the homeless, collecting holiday gifts for the under-privileged, helping at old-age homes, volunteering in cultural programs of local organizations, conducting educational programs for kids and teaching them the importance of Prajna and keeping our cultural connection, helping in awareness events about environment, health and other current issues, maitaining blogs for JET events, preparing newsletters etc.

Please inform all those who would be interested to join the club's inaugural body.

Vighna Nivarana Chathurthhi

Best wishes to all for a happy Vighna Nivarana Chathurthhi. Let us pray on that day to Lord Vishvaksena to remove all our obstacles in our service. Sriman Surendracharya Swami explained to us on Telebridge about the importance of Vighna Nivarana Chathurthi and gave us the story of Lord Krishna - Syamanthaka Upakhyanam from Bhagavatham. The pravachanam was in Telugu.
