#18 Passing The Torch Of Knowledge
Srila Prabhupada emphasized the need of a very strong education system within ISKCON. Yet, the average devotee is not reading enough. There is an urgent need to renew the culture of reading Srila Prabhupada’s books. Moreover, with increased membership, the educational and training needs of ISKCON member and leadership, have multiplied over the decades. These needs must be addressed for sustainable growth. Drawing lessons from our past mistakes and success, what should we do NOW to reignite the torch of knowledge. Can we ever make up for the lost time and amend our mistakes? It is said better late than never. We invite the ISKCON leadership to this interactive seminar from the ISKCON Ministry of Education.
