Indian traditions have had a tremendous impact in the USA over the last 50 years : Yoga, various meditation techniques and herbal remedies, to name a few, have improved the lives of millions across the country. Indian culture is thousands of years old and has many other fascinating aspects and secrets that the modern world can benefit from. This seminar aims to make some of these accessible to the people on campus. This year, we bring two eminent speakers:
