Seminar Description

"Sadhana for Parenting in Krishna Consciousness"

Involving children in regular sadhana as part of family and temple life, this workshop considers obstacles and useful practices. (note: this seminar is similar to The Vocation of Teaching in Krishna Consciousness, Part II: Inspired for Life, except that it is geared toward the specific needs of parents and their daily practice of spiritual life.)

Other Seminars are listed in the schedule. Please come and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity for association with a senior Vaisnavi and disciple of Srila Prabhupada over Gaura Purnima.
