With great happiness in our hearts, we invite you for yet another weekend of engaging discussion and seminar on understanding Srimad Bhagavatam which is one of the sweetest and very important treasure house knowledge for the benefit of mankind.  How will I benefit from hearing/reading Srimad Bhagavatam? It gives you the blueprint to a universal culture-- a way of life that is at the same time scientific, practical and sublime. Answers and explains every issue that may be on your mind from abortion to war, from making ends meet to becoming successful, from hurt feelings to the fear of death. Clear, logical and unhurried explanations will help you to face, resolve, and cope with every aspect of life. It challenges us to understand who we really are; why do we suffer; what happens at death; how does karma work; how does the soul transmigrate from one body to another; Who and what is the Godhead; what is your relationship with the Godhead; and how we can genuinely achieve an eternal, blissful life. "There is need of a clue as to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause.
