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 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

Morning Walk With Scientist — Inconceivable Mystic Power

DOWNLOAD Research means you admit that you are all fools and rascals. Research meant for whom? Who does not know. Otherwise where is the question of research? You do not know. You admit that.

Letter to Scientist — Life Comes From Life

If we can prove that life comes from life, or the soul is from the supper soul, then all other things can be brought into serious consideration. So you try to prove that chemical combination can never bring about life, this is our main argument. If we can prove this, gradually we can prove that vedic knowledge is perfect. Bombay 17 December, 1975 Atlanta My Dear Svarupa Damodara Prabhu, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter ...Read More

DOWNLOAD Therefore we first of all give stress, the creative faculty, that the watchmaker is doing nice work, but who has made that watchmaker? Who is that creative faculty? You are a scientist, you have good brain, but you cannot manufacture the brain. But who has manufactured your brain? Prabhupada: …these are all misconceptions because I am not this body. I am spirit soul. When the spirit soul goes away, then where is the distinction? Suppose in hospital some Hindu ...Read More

The whole process of science, which is observation and experiment, is flawed because all our observations are perceived through our imperfect Dear Lars Hello. Hare Krishna.

Life On Other Planets [MP3 Audio Bhagavad Gita Class]

DOWNLOAD Here is a puzzle for the rascal scientists–they are contemplating that except within this earth, there is no life. Take for example the sun planet. Naturally, we imagine no living entity can live there: it is a fiery planet. But Krsna says I first of all spoke this Bhagavad-gita system to the sun-god. Now rascals will think How is there a god or a person in the sun planet? Everything from Prabhupada: nainam chindanti sastrani nainam dahati pavakah na cainam kledayanty ...Read More

The Physics of the Self

We don’t say that this scientific knowledge is useless. Mechanics, electronics–this is also knowledge… but the central point is atma-jnana–self-knowledge, knowledge of the soul. Srila Prabhupada: What is the current scientific knowledge about the spirit soul? Dr. Benford: We have virtually no scientific knowledge about the soul. Srila Prabhupada: Therefore you have actually made no advancement in scientific knowledge. Dr. Benford: Well, scientific knowledge is a different class of knowledge. Srila Prabhupada: Perhaps. There are so many departments of knowledge: the ...Read More

Nature’s Laws- But Who Created Them?

They are studying how the laws of nature is working. That’s nice. But they should appreciate at the same time: Who made such subtle laws that they are working so nicely? That is our philosophy. We do not only study the laws and appreciate it, but we study the law-maker also. That is the difference between ourself and the so-called scientists. They are left, poor fund of knowledge. They cannot appreciate that there is a law-maker of these subtle laws. ...Read More

The Big Bang Theory (BBT)

We have all heard it at school in the science class… In the begining there was nothing… and from that nothing came a big bang, caused by no one coming from nowhere… It created all the mass of the universe completely by chance [according to Einstein's Theory]… The mass then contracted and automatically formed all the planets and set them into motion, all orbiting around the sun [all by an impossibly unlikely coincidence!] Then some chemicals appeared from nowhere and mixed ...Read More

Perceiving the Existence of the Supreme Scientist, Lord Sri Krishna

From the submicroscopic realm of the atom to the expanding reaches of the galactic objects, this material universe is running like intricate, well-oiled clockwork. Scientists have made a few spaceships, whereas Krsna effortlessly produces gigantic spaceships, such as planets and stars, which are perfectly equipped and maintained.

Things would ...Read More

Research Findings Establish Reincarnation as a Scientific Fact
