For those who missed it, here are the mp3s of most of the presentations and the pdf of the programme.

Here’s the programme: ISKCON Studies Conference 2009 – programme (pdf)

Here’s a group pic.

And below you will find all the audio.

Sorry to say the intro presentation is slightly shortened as we were so busy getting it all together we forgot to press record until ten minutes in. The rest are all good though thanks to Meru’s super new recorder.

We are currently thinking of having the next conference at the same place from 16–19 July 2010.

Hope to see you there!
