A true scientist would never prematurely declare, “I do not believe that I have a soul or spirit that survives my death.” Rather, if he really wished to perceive the soul, or self, he would embrace the process of self-realization Lord Krishna outlines in the Bhagavad-gita.
Your so-called science is also belief. If you call your way science, then our way is also science. Your belief is that life comes from chemicals, but you cannot prove it. Therefore you prove yourself to be a rascal.
How in the world can you say that the Vedas don’t really disagree with modern science? First of all, modern science says the moon is closer to the earth than the sun is, whereas the Vedas clearly say that the sun is closer.
The sickness scientists and political leaders are suffering, “demon disease”—the compulsion to deny and decry the existence and superintendence of the Supreme Lord.
There are two kinds of living beings in the creation—the divine and demonic. A demon need not be a huge monster with ten heads, nor a red fiend with a pitchfork. In fact, the demons who live among us generally appear quite ordinary.
Automation, in the form of computers is an attempt to exercise control, not only of the mechanical process itself, but of the human being who directed it, turning him from an active to a passive agent, and finally eliminating him altogether.
Twenty-eight percent of all Americans, according to a Gallup poll cited in the Los Angeles Times on October 13, 1976, have seen through the sham and now believe the moon landing to be a fake.
No matter how huge a telescope is, or how precisely the data it reports is handled by a computer, the scientists themselves suffer from four basic defects that completely invalidate their conclusions.
Today’s scientist has devised a lofty technology but essentially he knows about as much as a dog: how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sex, and how to defend. But what about human technology–How is a living body different from a dead body? Who are we really?
When it comes to things cosmic, should we ask “Who”-or “What”? The Caracas Metaphysical Society interviews His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
There is no such thing as chance; when we say that an event happens by chance or by accident, this simply means that we are unfamiliar with the reasons why it happens. There is a cause behind everything.
Recently I have read an article in the Gazette by Rae Corelli entitled “Heart Surgeon Wants to Know What a Soul Is,” and it was very interesting. Your comments show great insight, and so I thought to write you on this matter.
Capra’s understanding of the most popular texts on Vedic mysticism, the Bhagavad-gita and the Upanisads, differs markedly from the Krsna conscious understanding. This revelation has led me into some lengthy discussions with a few of Capra’s readers.
Atheism asks us to agree that everything came from nothing. In other words, on the question of how the universe came about, atheism says, “No intelligence, no designer, no creator—nothing was involved. It just happened of its own accord.”
If Darwin sees a plan or design, then whose design? As soon as you recognize a design, you must acknowledge a designer. If you see a plan, then you must accept a planner.
This Vedic knowledge which is Krsna consciousness is an ancient science which is eternally new. Modern America has reached a stage of civilization where it is ready to ask important questions. This science, as always, is ready with the answers.
We measure time in terms of the movements of physical objects. The time the earth takes to orbit the sun we call a year. The time the moon takes to orbit the earth we call a month. And the time the earth takes to revolve on its axis we call a day.
When Lord Maha-Visnu, a plenary expansion of Lord Krsna, exhales, innumerable universes emanate from Him. Within each of these universes Maha-Visnu expands Himself as Garbhodakasayi Visnu and lies down on the water that fills half of each universal shell.
That the punctuated equilibrium theory has gained so much popularity among sociobiologists indicates just how unconvincing and inconclusive the evidence is for the traditional evolutionary belief. Neither theory can explain the gaps in the fossil record; therefore, both lack credibility.
Animal Rights people feel that the time has come to stop man’s tyrannical “dominion” over animals. They disagree with the traditional notion that animals are meant to serve man’s ends.
