Dopamine: "pleasure"; desirability vs. aversion related to motivation to outcomes
Serotonin: well-being, happiness, reward, learning, memory
Oxytocin: social bonding, sexual reproduction

Manoj will also be teaching about the Bhakti (devotion) of Hanuman to Ram and Sita and how we can realize the Self through Bhakti (a real, genuine search for Atma that begins, continues and ends in Love).
