Challenge:

Every year, hundreds of youths fall prey to self-destructive addictive habits, resulting in stress and depression that negatively impact their personal lives, relationships, careers, and social contributions. Reports indicate that 9 out of 10 cases of addiction are introduced during school and college years, leaving a lasting adverse effect on their future.

Solution:

ISKCON Juhu is committed to addressing this alarming issue by offering:

1. Awareness: Educating youth about the severe consequences of addiction.
2. Education: Promoting positive values and healthy, stress-free lifestyles through engaging and entertaining programs.
3. Inspiration: Motivating youth through sessions with eminent personalities, educational dramas, thought-provoking video shows, and fostering a supportive, positive association.

About Tarang:

Tarang is ISKCON Juhu's annual youth festival, designed to transform the lives of young individuals across Mumbai. This festival integrates scientific, cultural, and spiritual education to highlight the dangers of self-destructive habits, while instilling a robust value system and providing a vibrant, supportive culture based on the timeless teachings of Vedic wisdom. 

This year, Tarang is inspired by the theme Udaan – Rise Beyond Limits, symbolizing the boundless potential of today's youth. Udaan encourages young minds to break free from the shackles of self-destructive habits, mental barriers, and societal pressures by embracing the transformative power of spirituality. Through the wisdom of Vedic knowledge, the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, and the guidance of ancient India culture, youth will discover their true self, gain clarity of purpose, and cultivate resilience. This spiritual foundation empowers them to soar to new heights, unlocking their full potential in both personal and professional spheres, and rising above challenges with inner strength and wisdom.

Through various festival programs and follow-up sessions, Tarang empowers youth by:

• Helping them overcome self-destructive habits like addiction.
• Enriching their overall personality development, including career guidance and emotional, intellectual, and physiological well-being.
• Encouraging them to build character, practice self-control, and choose dignity and long-term fulfillment over short-lived pleasures.

These programs are inclusive and open to students of all economic statuses, castes, creeds, and religious backgrounds.
