Our Leader
Our story begins with H.G. Vaiśeṣika Prabhu, the heart and soul of Youth Jam.
He has united youth at ISKCON of Silicon Valley and beyond, creating a supportive and enthusiastic community.
He has dedicated his valuable time into personally teaching everyone the practice of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Vaiśeṣika Prabhu comes into the program with the brightest smile and genuine care for each person’s spiritual and general welfare.
Without his empowering vision and guidance, Youth Jam would not be where it stands today.

Early Beginnings
From 2016, after each Sunday feast at ISKCON of Silicon Valley, H.G. Vaiśeṣika Prabhu and the youth would huddle together inside a tiny room, sharing books and microphones to recite ślokas, sing kirtan and share realizations.
We called this Kids Kirtan!
Online Storm
However, when COVID-19 hit, we could no longer continue our in-person programs.
Missing this lively association, we kick-started Youth Jam virtually.
We began using new tools like Zoom and PowerPoint to resume our programs online.

Expansion
As a supportive spiritual environment, Youth Jam brought solace to us during these unsettling times.
Eager to share this gift with other devotees, we reached out to communities across the nation to expand our circle.

Today, Youth Jam is an integrated part of each member’s weekly spiritual practice.
Nurtured by H.G. Vaiśeṣika Prabhu, the youth of this program have come to deeply value śāstra, kirtan, and saṅga.
Our Youth Jam family looks forward to sharing these experiences with you too!

Mission
Youth Jam offers a spiritually healthy environment that gives devotee youth of all ages an outlet to enrich their spiritual advancement and connect with like-minded individuals. Youth Jam covers many facets of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness in a structured and innovative manner: kīrtana, śloka recitation, śāstric studies, and engaging discussions. We wish to overcome the social intimidation and vulnerability that the youth may initially experience. Youth Jam aims to serve enthusiastic devotee youth and communities of all ages. Youth Jam strives to become a unified program where devotees can acquire the association, śāstra recitation, and sevā opportunities, while being in a family-like environment. Only with a coordinated team effort and synergy, effective branding and outreach, and consistent wholehearted participation will Youth Jam be successful.
