Heart of the Matter will be taking a break from bookstore and coffeehouse lectures for a few months during the fall of 2007.
Instead we will be assisting Maclaurin Institute with past Heart of the Matter speaker Vishal Mangalwadi's autumn lecture series, "Must the Sun Set on the West? An Indian Explores the Soul of Western Civilization" in room 2-520 in the Moos Tower on the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus.

Our tentative plans are to resume bookstore lectures in February 2008.
Download the PDF of the autumn lecture series [approx. 2.1 MB].
More info about Vishal Mangalwadi's autumn lecture series is available at http://maclaurin.org
More info about Vishal Magalwadi's other work is available at http://vishalmangalwadi.com
