About ISKCON Pandava Sena
ISKCON Pandava Sena is the official youth group of Bhaktivedanta Manor.
Pandava Sena is aimed at making spirituality more relevant and practical to the 21st century. The community ranges from doctors to monks, chefs to traders – all connected by one thing: a desire to get out of the rat race and find something eternal (whilst have some fun along the way!)
The organisation started back in 1993, when the Manor was on the verge of being closed for public access. The enthusiastic youth of the temple drove an international campaign to keep the Manor open and ever since have been changing the lives of young people by igniting a spiritual revolution. They host international trips, university programmes, socials, festivals and so much more. If you’re 11-25, give it a shot… it might just change your life.
Get involved
See below for a list of regular events that you could partake in.
“Psundays”– a brand new PS initiative taking our events to the manor. On fortnightly Sunday mornings, we will be helping out with Krishna Club events, and even running our own events for the older youth. We offer dynamic sessions that include fun games, thought-provoking discussions, and uplifting Kirtan.
We will also have the chance to get involved in hands-on service, whether helping out on the manor’s farms or assisting in the kitchen before enjoying lunch together.
Message KC (07425 714350) to see what you can attend and to find out when our next event is!
Karma, Reincarnation, UFOs: it’s all make-believe right? Think again. At SNL, we offer the opportunity to meet people who think outside the box. Like minded thinkers who don’t just worry about what grade they get (altough a 9 is nice too). Debates, free food, soul music…that’s what awaits you at our fortnightly events! BUT…there’s more: every other event, we throw something BIG from escape rooms to football/netball matches, to ‘dinner and a concert’!! See you there!

A lot of the time it feels like we’re missing something in life: a motivating factor – and we know how important this is for exams too! Don’t worry, we got you covered. We found that it starts with understanding who YOU are. Ever thought about that? Well, if you find that you want to think deeply, develop steady motivation, and make some lifelong friends, Project X is for you! Fortnightly Fridays: Dinner. Discussion. Music. Oh and some crazy activities too 🙂

University is said to be a time of self discovery and KCSOC is tailored to achieve that. We have 20+ societies in some of the biggest universities across the UK, giving students a breath of fresh air, through discussing life’s big questions – questions which many of us breeze past. We offer weekly events located at your uni, a mentoring system, day retreats and weekend retreats, as well as an amazing summer trip!
