Seminars in detail

 

1) Bhakti Caitanya Swami "Lessons from the Pastimes of Lord Caitanya" - an

analysis of different lilas of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the practical

lessons we can learn from them and apply in our daily lives in Krishna

consciousness.

 

2) Prahladananda Swami "A dark well or eternal lila?" - The laws of material

nature are eternal; their effects are not changed by any new ideas. This

course deals with modern society and ISKCON, examining the direction both

can go in to make our lives happy and successful.

 

3) Kurma Das "Cooking with Kurma" - A hands-on tour of the world of Vedic

vegetarian cuisine with Australia's favorite cooking guru Kurma Das. Learn

the art of preparing fresh cheese, spice masalas and pastes, breads,

pickles, chutneys, vegetable dishes, sweets; hear about the history, botany

and science of Vedic food preparation, and Ayurvedic health. Lots of

take-home recipes, non-stop cooking and sumptuous feasting.

 

4) Hari-sauri Das "Srila Prabhupada the living Bhagavatam" - Discover how

Srila Prabhupada lived the life of a devotee. Arranged by theme - prasadam,

chanting, cleanliness, health etc.- Hari-sauri presents an intimate look at

how Srila Prabhupada applied the philosophy and practices of Krsna

Consciousness in day-to-day situations on each topic.

 

5) Kadamba Kanana Swami "Living with Vows"

 

6) Laxsmimoni Devi Dasi "The myth of western civilisation" - As we interface

with modern society we are accused of avoiding reality, accepting the

mythology of Vedic literature. We are asked to accept the "scientific truth"

 

propounded in the West, the description of "progress and advancement of

civilization" and finally we are encouraged to quest for "true happiness."

Which happiness, progress, and truth are real? Comparing what Western

civilized culture calls the mythology of the Bhagavatam against the myths of

Western culture.

 

7) Urmila "Finding Satisfaction in Educational Service: What teachers in

Krishna's schools can tell us about Culture, religion, and motivation" How

do those in devotional, educational projects find satisfaction in their

service? How do culture, religion, and spirituality influence motivation?

How can we nourish and improve our schools? Participants in these workshops

learn of the results and implications of a new, ground-breaking study of all

teachers in Hare Krishna primary and secondary schools all over the world.

 

8) Braja Bihari: "Can't We All Just Get Along?" What are the causes of

conflict in ISKCON (and religious organizations in general)? What are the

various ways to deal with conflict in a healthy way? Towards developing a

justice system in ISKCON. What is the Vaisnava approach to helping people

dealing with trauma? Making ISKCON a conflict friendly organization.

 

9) Atmananda Das "Atma yoga: decrease stress, develop confidence, and build

Prabhupada's community" Join Atmananda Das in reclaiming the rich cultural

tradition of mystic yoga and dovetailing it to serve Srila Prabhupada's

mission. Come learn how Atma yoga is reversing this trend and developing

stress free, confident preachers.

 

10) Education: "From the Cradle to the Pyre" - An analysis and discussion of

 

ISKCON's educational systems. In this seminar we will discuss the importance

of developing a complete educational system within ISKCON in order to

successfully fulfil Srila Prabhupada's mission. We will reflect on the

educational developments to date. Finally we will attempt to identify

practical steps that can be taken in order to fulfil these needs.
