Good. Then we can leave the unapplied bits to the side

 

Seriously, it's possibly the best name I've heard so far. It possibly

encompasses more of the mood and abilities of us all. One may argue over a

specific point in the philosophy, but sometimes that argument is driven by

one's inability to *apply* it, as opposed to accept it. I think this name

gives a little balance.

What changes is not the absolute truth, but the ways in which it may be

applied. I have in mind the revolutionary aaproach coming through

Bhaktivinoda Thakur and Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, and which was best

carried (and expanded) by Srila Prabhupada. That said, I do like Applied

Krishna Consciousness as a name for the conference.
