Preaching Through Culture
(Matsya Avatara dasa)
Last year some of the sessions were podcasted. My heartfelt desire and humble request is that a good recording is made, using a microphone, of the proceedings and a properly tagged mp3 / ogg file of the recording is made available.
I can see several points of interest to me here,
ie are we Hindus ?
Is this not worth a debatable article on dandavats ?
salarys ?
Another worthy subject for an article .
how do i catch up on the various discussions ?
Will there be any oppourtunity for feedback ?
How do these meetings relate to the rank and file of Iskcon ?
