Prabhupada Seminars

All seminars offered by Urmila devi dasi.
 

 (To teach these, we’d need a computer with a DVD drive, a projector, and external speakers. Alternatively, a VCR player, tape player, or other equipment could be used for Srila Prabhupada—His example, and Srila Prabhupada in Our Lives. For Prabhupada as preacher—his example, it is best if enough advance notice can be had to procure suitable booklets for participants)

Each seminar is approximately 1 hour and ten minutes long

Prabhupada as Founder-acarya

Deepening appreciation for Prabhupada’s unprecedented success, and Prabhupada’s position and accomplishments in respect to ISKCON.

Prabhupada as Preacher—his life

We identify important events in Prabhupada’s life, explore how we can be connected to Srila Prabhupada, understand his wonderful gift to humanity, and explore how to promote knowledge of Prabhupada’s life to people in general. (Elements of well-formed plan are included in this seminar.)

Prabhupada as Preacher—his example

We explain Prabhupada’s reason for coming to America, how certain features of his life exemplify qualities of a pure devotee, discuss which specific pastimes of Srila Prabhupada are helpful in our own lives as examples, and consider plans to improve our own qualities.

Prabhupada in our lives

Participants describe how they personally interact with Prabhupada on a daily basis, discuss the specific benefits they receive from that contact, and plan for increasing the quality, quantity, or both of their regular contact with him.

Prabhupada—Assisting in service

We explore Prabhupada’s accomplishments in service, define devotional service and discuss how one becomes empowered in devotional service. Participants make an offering of service to Srila Prabhupada.
