This trip was an iniative of Dadas Jagadiishananda and Jyotirishananda, who visited Mexico on September this year, and felt inspired to come back.
The priority of this tour will be to reach out to young people, particularly in the universities. "Some of us are getting older and we need some youth and vigour. Not to mention that a young age is the time to start spiritual practice before the head gets filled up with stereotypes, etc." - Dada J.
Although we will certainly keep our eyes open, the priority of this tour is not sightseeing & so forth, but to get to know the projects, and run Prachar programs that allow us to connect with the young audience in these countries.
"The goal of our trip to Central America is the same as any ‘trip’ in AM; to know more fully who Baba ‘is’ and how/why we have been chosen to walk on this path.
To provide a platform to people who are looking for a rational/spiritual ideology with which they can express the deepest feelings of their heart." - Dada J.

Are aiming to learn and grow. "This trip will be as much for our own edification as for anything else. But maybe we will have the opportunity to see how others are attracted to something real." - Dada J.
Are interested in getting to know Ananda Marga projects in Central America and contribute to them.
Are interested in practicing their storytelling and communication skills (do Prachar!).
Are ready to do go deeper in their sadhana by practicing it every day, collectively, and under a diversity of conditions.
Are able to communicate in Spanish and/or English at a basic level.
Sharing times and spaces with other people who may have different needs to ours.
Resistance against heat, mosquitos, rain, and other challenges brought to us by nature in these type of environment.
Cultural differences and language.
Spending many hours (almost 40!) driving or inside the car during our commute time.
"Challenges! yes, there may be a few, car problems, we must make sure of the oil, etc before leaving for such a long trip, but we will face them bravely, right?" - Dada J.
