Performing outreach

Bhaktivedanta Institute conducts many outreach programs to promote dialogue between science and religion. Perhaps the most unique is "Bhaktivedanta Institute on Wheels" - a team of students traveling in two buses to campuses across India educating both students and faculty on the importance of proper stewardship of science's accelerating influence, through multimedia presentations, seminars and publications.
