Seminar topic:
1. Core Concepts of Devotional Service. Srila Prabhupada says 'Advancement in Krishna consciousness depends on the attitude of the follower,' this seminar would give you insight into the proper attitude that a devotee should have in order to advance in devotion with strong determination, following proper rules and regulations and surpassing all limitations. It is the result of many years of intense study and research into the books of Srila Prabhupad, Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Maharaja, Bhaktivinoda Thakura, and other Sanskrti and Bengali books of the previous acharyas.

What is Rasa & Love of God?: Although we all know that the aim of our lives is to attain love of God and thus to experience Rasa, the bliss of devotion, very few devotees know what Rasa and Love is, how they are defined , and how to approach them in proper attitude. This is all explained by Srila Prabhupad and Sri Rupa Goswami, and this seminar would explain all those concepts in a systematic and easily comprehensible manner, with many explanations from various commentaries of previous acharyas.
One session: Sunday October 19, 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM

The project will also offer a Vedic perspective of modern, western ideas and also a comparison between the Vedic and modern science, so that students not only imbibe Vedic wisdom, but also live it.
