Mahatma Das and his daughter Shyama Mandali Dasi have announced a transformative weekend course for teens (age 10-18), rooted in Krishna Consciousness. “Bhakti Self-Care for Teens” will be held on May 10th and 18th, 8:30-12:00 EDT (6-9:30 PM IST).

With so many teens facing peer pressure, emotional struggles, and low confidence, the course aims to help teens create lifelong self-care habits, understand their true worth through Krishna’s eyes, explore their emotions and beliefs, and cultivate accountability with others.
