New Chairman Of IPS
Official ISKCON Pandava Sena Notice:
Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The month of Kartik is a very special time in the lives of the devotees. It is a time for more energy in our service, more depth in our devotion and often a new beginning … with this mind, I would like to announce Jay Shetty as the new International Chairman of ISKCON Pandava Sena.
Jay Prabhu is a young, highly creative, intelligent and determined devotee. He has an intense desire to serve the devotees and unbreakable loyalty to Srila Prabhupada has his ISKCON. He has an amazing ability to be able to understand youth and connect with them on a very personal level. I am personally very eager to see this very special devotee take ISKCON Pandava Sena into the future. His selfless nature will give him the strength to perform this demanding service, however, he has the blessing of many senior devotees, which will give him unlimited ability in his endeavors.
As parting words, I would firstly like to beg for forgiveness. I have undoubtedly created countless offenses for which I pray I am forgiven. Every day I am realizing more and more the importance of ISKCON Pandava Sena. Over the last decade IPS has unleashed powerful and highly dynamic devotees with the sole purpose of serving Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON. The youth of ISKCON are the personification of the future of ISKCON.
Please pray for me and extend your blessings to Jay.
Your Little Servant,
Yuvraj (Uv)
Message from our New Chairman:
Hare Krishna Everyone!
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Pandava Sena chairman. For those of you who do not know me or have been fortunate enough to have not had my association my name is Jay Shetty. I am 19 years old, have just completed my A-levels and am currently on a gap year, going to university next year.
First of all I would like to thank Naveen Krishna Prabhu, Sandipan Krishna Prabhu and Uv Prabhu for their tremendous devotion, dedication and contribution in forming and cultivating Pandava Sena into what it is today. Without you I do not know where I would have been today. I would also like to thank you for your guidance, advice, knowledge and association over the past few months. I am so grateful to have had a chance to meet you. Uv and Chirag have had a great influence in guiding my spiritual life and helping me with my personal life for which I believe I am indebted to them. Thank you for giving someone like me so much of your valuable time.
I would like to thank Sonal Mataji who was the first person who introduced me to this wild bunch of people called Pandava Sena back in 2002. Even though I stopped going to East London Jamming after six months or so I am so appreciative I was introduced at the time. When I was lost in life, I had Pandava Sena to come back to. Thank you so much! I would also like to thank Vivek and Anshu Prabhu who have always supported me and were the first people to talk to me at a Jamming, love you guys!
During and after the trip to New Mayapur I have been blessed with the association of several devotees in Pandava Sena. Every second I have spent with anyone over the past few months has been so inspirational and enlightening. The people I have met through Pandava Sena are without doubt the most intelligent, nicest and unique people ever. For those who I have not yet spoken to, I hope to have your association very soon.
It is beautiful hearing about the glories of the devotees who have been involved in Pandava Sena and the movement in the past and have created this revolutionary troop of youth. It is now our turn to try repay and serve Srila Prabhupad and Krishna. We should also serve each other as this will enable us to gain several of the qualities devotees require. Together we can fulfil the vision we all have individually for Pandava Sena and collectively help it grow. In the association of devotees we can never go wrong and we must keep focus an inspire others around us to be engaged in Krishna Consciousness to their full potential.
I would like to wish a Happy Diwali and Happy New Year to everyone! I believe we are very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to try and become Krishna Conscious and therefore me must make the absolute most of it. I will give my all into serving you, Pandava Sena, Srila Prabhupad and Krishna. From today, I am officially your servant. Thank you. Below are my contact details. Hare Krishna!
