Did man really walk on the Moon ???

Did man really walk on the Moon or was it the ultimate camera trick, asks David Milne? The greater lunar lie. In the early hours of May 16, 1990, after a week spent watching old video footage of man on the Moon, a thought was turning into an obsession in the mind of Ralph Rene. “How can the flag be fluttering,” the 47 year old American kept asking himself, “when there’s no wind on the atmosphere free Moon?” That moment was ...Read More

Is the Universe a Computer Simulation? — The Nature of Reality

Scientists are discussing the nature of reality. They have made a discovery in physics pointing to the possibility that the universe is not billions of light-years across as astronomers speculate but may be quite small. So they are speculating that when we look out in the sky at night we may be looking at some sort of projection, similar to what you would see in a planetarium. It looks like the vast night sky but is actually just a piece ...Read More

Astronomy Debunked: Solar Eclipses are not Caused by the Moon

According to Vedic Astronomy, the most ancient and accurate system of astronomy on the planet, solar eclipses are not caused by the Moon coming in front of the Sun as astronomers believe. Rather the Moon is described as being further away than the Sun and what happens at the time of a solar eclipse is the Moon goes behind the Sun and a dark planet call Rahu comes between the Sun and the Earth. Of course, because we have been conditioned ...Read More

Space Travel

I was just this morning asking Purusottama to inform you of increasing the publication of Issue #26 because the article, Beyond the Universe,” is very interesting. In the present atmosphere of space exploration this kind of article will be much appreciated, and people will know that we are not sentimentalists. Our background is solid, scientific and authorized. Actually, the modern astronauts are trying to reach the moon planet, and even if they reach there they cannot live there; and even if ...Read More

The Imperminance of Knowledge

I love libraries. But I’m kind of worried about their future—and it isn’t just libraries but the nature of information and knowledge in this material world. When I was teenager, I thought of libraries as temples of revealed wisdom. The grown-ups had learned all these things and had left this wonderful legacy of their knowledge archived in the endless shelves stretching before my little hands. Somewhere in those dusky books was everything I could ever hope to know. It was ...Read More

Did Einstein Create God?

This God, as I understand it, is a term that Einstein made popular in his discussions with other physicists. I heard that when Einstein said, Der lieber Gott nicht werfelt, (God doesn’t shoot craps with the universe), Niels Bohr finally told Einstein, Stop telling God what to do. More to the point, is this God’s first attempt at creating a universe, or is God experienced at this? (Robert Roosen) Firstly the concept of God, a supreme person who is ...Read More

Evolution from Scientist to Monkey

Darwin’s theory of evolution Scientists and atheists are very fond of Charles Darwin’s work on natural selection and evolution of the species. It was only after Darwin’s theory of evolution became widely accepted that the scientific community had a reasonably plausible explanation of the development of the diverse forms of life we see around us without any divine direction or intelligence behind it. His work was quickly accepted by all atheistic men and practically it is the support of the modern ...Read More

No One–Not Even Darwin–Can Be Independent [Prabhupada Speaks Out]

This whole Darwinian theory is false. But people are giving it so much stress. First of all, no one–not even Darwin–can be independent. For instance, Darwin died. So he was under the control of something higher. No man wants to die, but he is forced to die. Is it not? Then where is his independence? Here we continue an exchange that occurred in Perth, Australia, on May 9, 1975, between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Carol Cameron, then ...Read More

The Moon and the Sun…

Srila Prabhupada has the strength to have complete faith in Krishna, in his spiritual master and in the Vedas. That is his unique qualification. Unfortunately most so-called devotees of Krishna today prefer to put their faith in the theories of modern science, rejecting the Vedic version. Such devotees have no faith and will never be able to understand the real imports of the Vedic knowledge as this requires absolute faith in the Lord and the bona fide spiritual master. Modern ...Read More

The Genes and the Soul

After the scientific survey on the human genome, the media’s attention turned to the news about cloning. Because of the plenty of invested money the scientists studying cloning have achieved considerable results. For a layman it may seem that the biologists have almost become omnipotent, and they can create animals or even human beings according to their choice, thus fully dethroning the Creator… What is science actually able and not able to do? What did it create and did it take ...Read More

The Moon Missions: Oh Ye of Little Faith…

In the summer of 1969 we watched ‘one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’ on our TV sets. 3 1/2 months later I was blessed to meet Srila Prabhupada in Boston as he arrived from England where he had been staying with his disciples and friends at Sriman John Lennon’s estate. He was accompanied by Purushottama dasa his servant who was leaving the movement because Prabhpada was insisting “They did not go to the Moon.” Indeed SP instructed ...Read More

The Material Body is a Machine. Who is Operating that Machine?

DOWNLOAD Any scientist can understand that no machine, however nicely made, finely made, without some person to push the button, it cannot work. Bhagavad-gita 4.12 – Vrndavana, August 4, 1974 Prabhupada: kanksantah karmanam siddhim yajanta iha devatah ksipram hi manuse loke siddhir bhavati karmaja Generally, people are karmaja. Karmaja means one who wants to enjoy the fruit of his labor. Everyone in this material world, they have come to enjoy. So therefore they are working so ...Read More

Are Artificial Intelligence (AI) Devices Really Intelligent?

Many people were surprised when, recently, a poem (included below) was “composed” by an AI computer in the Artificial Intelligence Lab, Computer science department, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (India). Some people insisted that it is conscious; it has emotions; it has understanding; and it is indeed intelligent; otherwise how can it compose such a nice poem? The answer to the above raised question can be given by Searle’s arguments: In fact, computers can compose a poem in ...Read More

The Scientific Theory of the Soul

The Soul Theory opens up a vast field for research and study based on the scientific method. It opens up the areas of past-life-recall and out-of-body experiences to rigorous scientific research and it also enables science to study all manner of previously unexplained phoneme from a new angle. THE SCIENTIFIC THEORY OF THE SOUL INTRODUCTION The intention of this paper is to put forward a scientific theory stated according to the currently accepted “scientific method” which provides a verifiable and falsifiable theory establishing the existence ...Read More

Understanding the Living Force

In a statement delivered at a press conference in Los Angeles in December of 1968, Srila Prabhupada challenges the world’s intellectual leaders to review their definition of what constitutes life. In the background of this body you can find the soul, whose presence is perceivable by dint of consciousness. Similarly, in the universal body of the cosmic manifestation, one can perceive the presence of the Supreme Lord, or the Absolute Truth, The International Society for Krishna Consciousness is a ...Read More

Life Comes from Life!

All right, scientist, why is life not coming from matter now? You rascal. Why isn’t life coming from matter now? Actually such scientists are rascals. They childishly say that life came from matter, although they are not at all able to prove it. Recorded on April 19, 1973, In Cheviot Hills Park, Los Angeles [From "Life Comes From Life" by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhuapda] Darwinism Extinct Srila Prabhupada. This material ...Read More

Man On The Moon–A Colossal Hoax that Cost Billions of Dollars

Although many believe man first reached the moon in July, 1969, we have information from a very reliable source, the Sanskrit Vedic scriptures, that the astronauts never actually went to the moon. The manned moon landing was a colossal hoax. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, the spiritual master of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, once described materialistic civilization as “a society of the-cheaters and the cheated.” Looking at our modern world, we can easily see why: massive advertising campaigns for ...Read More

The Tiny World of Modern Science

During a morning walk in April of 1973, at Venice Beach, Los Angeles, Srila Prabhupada discusses modern science and its high priests: They claim to have millions of dollars worth of knowledge, but if you ask them a question, they simply give you a postdated check. Why should we accept it? They cannot even produce a spear of grass through their biological or chemical experiments. Nonetheless, they are claiming that the creation is produced by some chemical or biological method. ...Read More

Artificial Intelligence–Getting Computers to Think

How do we get a computer to think? The only way I can think of is the use of neural nets. Almost learning by trial and error, much like a small baby does. I think their has been research into this, but I’m not sure what the current situation is with this… Anyone any ideas? Mike Warren. You’re trying to get a computer to act like a person but you don’t really know what a person is. If you want to ...Read More

The Intelligent Designer

Recently there has been a debate over whether God is the creator of the universe or that the creation is formed by combination of chemicals, a chance occurrence if you will. The scientific group who supports a “theory” called Intelligent Design says that there is an intelligence behind the creation. There must be intelligence behind something so complex and intricate which works so perfectly. The anti-Intelligent Design scientific group argues that the Intelligent Design group is pushing the old ...Read More
