Down to earth in space And still, they have to go to the Mars. Just see how degraded they have become. By drinking urine, they are going to Mars... More

8,400,000 species of life known to Padma Purana The Padma Purana says that there are 8,400,000 species of life, and the soul evolves through them. This evolutionary process we accept: the soul evolves from aquatics to plants, to insects, to birds, to animals, and then to the human forms. But all these forms are already there. They do not change. More

Getting past the limitations of spacecraft Modern mechanical space vehicles are unsuccessful because they cannot go to the highest region of this material creation, and they certainly cannot enter the spiritual sky. But by perfection of the yoga system one not only can travel through material space, but can surpass material space and enter the spiritual sky. More

Unholy marriage of scientific advancement and corporate greed Now the scientists are trying to make some improvement in agricultural production. But how long will this improvement last? If there is no rainfall how will all their "improvements" help? The rainfall is not in their hands... More

Space trash due to crash back to Earth The actual creator, the original creator, is the Personality of Godhead. Only in the interim does someone create something with intelligence supplied by the Lord, and later the creation again becomes a problem. More

Synthetic biology's missing component: the life force PRABHUPADA: Whatever their proposal, these things are already there. So even they can create something, xerox copy, what is the credit? SHYMASUNDAR: But then they'll have control over it. That's their... PRABHUPADA: No, no control, because you are beginning from something on which you have no control. So where is your control? More

Math verifies Vedic texts: matter generated by vibration ...Everything about us, tables, chairs, bricks etc. is originally emanating from sound vibration. More

The material world and virtual reality This material world is only imitation. This material sky and everything, whatever you see—all imitation, shadow. It is shadow. Just like in cinematographic picture you see the shadow of the real thing behind, similarly, this is only shadow. More

Global warming just so much hot air? Scientists are changing their theories, how we can accept? Reasonably? You are changing your theories, how we can accept you are scientist? More

Consciousness is a problem for scientists They think that life is merely a combination of material elements, but Krishna denies this in the Bhagavad-gita (7.5), apareyam itas tv anyam prakritim viddhi me param: "Besides this inferior nature there is a superior energy of Mine." The inferior energy is the material elements, and the superior energy is the living entity. More

Hawking afflicted by hyperopia, inability to see what's right in front of him Scientists are constantly doing research, and if you ask them what they are doing, they say, "Oh, it is for the next generation, for the future." But I say, "What about you? What about your skyscraper? If in your next life you are going to be a tree, what will you do with your next generation then?" More

Falsifying data to match a mistaken hypothesis Their basic principle is wrong, and they're presenting some theories and that is being accepted by people. That is cheating. For example, just like the insistence of the scientists that life is production of matter. More

Theories that leave God out of the equations The atheist class of men, they do not agree to accept that this material world is created by God. They give some reason of their own way of thinking, and most of the arguments are "perhaps like this, perhaps like this, perhaps like this." What is this nonsense, "perhaps"? Is that science? "Perhaps"? More

Sound, the origin of creation So as the beginning of this material world is from the sound vibration... I think the scientists also agree, the materialistic scientists, that from sound everything emanates. So similarly, the same sound, you can enter into the spiritual world by taking shelter of sound. More

The Ultimate Elevator They have given us motorcar and atomic bomb and aeroplane and electronic activities. So many things they have given. That's all right. Simply they could not give us relief from birth, death, old age, and disease. That's all. The real problems are there. More

Bhaktivedanta Institute Pioneer Richard L. Thompson passes away ISKCON Newsweekly reports the departure of scientist Richard L. Thompson, 61, on Thursday, September 18th, apparently from heart attack at his home in Alachua, Florida. More

Lay Down Your Bones TAMAL KRSNA: Factual scientific study would mean to study all 8,400,000 species? PRABHUPADA: Yes, that is scientific study. But that is not possible. Therefore your theory is always imperfect because you cannot say that "I have studied all." You simply guess, "There is some gap, millions of years." More

Technology Giveth and Technology Taketh Away If, in this life, by technological advancement you live very comfortably, and next life you become a dog, then where is the advancement? More

Creating Life or Faking It? Material elements are not creative! The soul is creative. No one can create life with only matter, and matter cannot create itself. You, a living entity, can mix hydrogen and oxygen to create water. But matter itself has no creative energy. More

Smashing Atoms Our point is that you would rather study the insignificant grass than the God who has created everything. If you could understand Him, then automatically you would understand the grass. But you want to separate His grass from Him, to study it separately. More

Staking a claim on the moon: the bluff lives on But they are so rascal, fool, they are going to another planet. They do not think with the one planet we have already failed. More

Coming Up With Reasons Why You and I Should Pay for Moon Missions What have they gained in the last—how many years? For how many years have they been trying to go to the moon? With their sputnik. So let us say that for twenty-five years they have been trying. They have not gained anything except dust... More

Who gets to decide what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is evil? GUEST: How does one find out that this act is pleasing Krishna or not? PRABHUPADA: Yes. GUEST: For example, a soldier fighting in a war... PRABHUPADA: Yes. Then you have got to talk with Krishna... GUEST: Or somebody... PRABHUPADA: Just like Arjuna talked. GUEST: No, I mean, for example, you know, somebody dropping bomb in Hiroshima or Nagasaki. How does he know...? More

Life Forms Existing Throughout the Universe On other planets with atmospheres different from the Earth's, there are life forms suited to those conditions. But the scientists try to view everything according to the relative conditions of planet Earth. This is nonsense. Why are they doing that? If the whole cosmic manifestation follows the law of relativity, how can the scientist say that the conditions of this planet must apply to life on other planets? More

Space Suits Fail PRABHUPADA: We say that if you get a suitable body you can enter there. So if by your scientific process you can equip yourself with suitable body you can enter there. Where is the contradiction? REPORTER: Well, you said that space suit was not a suitable... PRABHUPADA: That is a fact. That is a fact. That is not suitable. More

Total Solar Eclipse - 1 August 2008 Here we go again. This time, total solar eclipse on Friday, August 1st. (Lunar eclipse coming up on the 16th, but more about that later.) More

Space Sexpedition In any part of the universe, either you go to the moon planet or sun planet or any other planet. You see the sky is just like egglike, within that. They are called baddha-jiva. Baddha-jiva means entrapped. So entrapped living entities, they are in different grades of life, 8,400,000 different forms of life. Now, how they are entrapped? This sex. More

Earthlings to live on Mars? Not any time soon Scientists who are attempting to explore outer space and are trying to reach other planets by mechanical arrangements must know for certain that organisms adapted to the atmosphere of earth cannot exist in the atmospheres of other planets. More

NASA PWNED! Everything they are doing in Arizona. All photograph in this place. Now they have been caught. I was always protesting, "These rascals have never gone." For the last ten years I've protested. Whenever they asked me, I say straightly, "It is all childish. They have never gone, neither they'll be able to go." More

Mantra War At the present moment this warfare is carried on gross weapons. But finer than that, there is mantra war. More

They don't know where to go in space They go to the outer space, but they do not know where to go. More

To the moon and back again How one goes to the moon, how he comes back, etc., is a great story, and this is all described in the Vedic literature. It is not a very new process. More

Recipe for Gold Apart from this, if one takes a hint from this verse and learns how to mix mercury with bell metal by properly heating and melting them, one can get gold very cheaply. More

Life on the Moon You are trying to go to the moon planet bogusly. I'll say bogusly because you could not go there. The moon planet is far away from the sun planet. More

Will Science Find the God Particle? "I worship the Personality of Godhead, Govinda, who, by one of His plenary portions, enters into the existence of every universe and every particle of the atoms and thus unlimitedly manifests His infinite energy all over the material creation." More

Dare to ask the question "Who is behind it all?" Whatever is the state of nature, there is brain behind. That is the proposal. Why there is, that doesn't matter. But it will continue. World is and will continue. That's a fact. But who made it? That is the question. More

Terminal Dependency on Technology If you create some convenience by the so-called machine use, you create so many other inconveniences. More

Scientists in Need of a Discovery They simply bluffing people, "We have discovered this..." What you have discovered? Discover this: What is the principle within the body? More

Eternal Time and the Manifestation of the Universe Time is the basic measurement of the activity of our senses, by which we calculate past, present and future; but in factual calculation, time has no beginning and no end. More

Darwin's Opinion Not Final If he says that he cannot explain how nature is doing, that means he is not expert. He may be mistaken. So why his opinion or decision should be taken final? He does not know how nature is working. That is not perfect knowledge. More

Increased Brain Power with Celibacy A section of the population, especially male, did not marry at all. Instead of allowing their semen to be driven downwards, they used to lift the semen up to the brain. More

Artificial Life? Get Real - They don't even know what life is DR. WOLF: Srila Prabhupada, they would not create. They would only imitate. PRABHUPADA: That is not... It is never created. That is their missing point, that life is never created and they are trying to create. More

Scientific Verification of Vedic Knowledge A vast number of statements and materials presented in the ancient Vedic literatures can be shown to agree with modern scientific findings and they also reveal a highly developed scientific content in these literatures. The great cultural wealth of this knowledge is highly relevant in the modern world. More

Development of Consciousness Unless the consciousness is developed, one's soul's full-fledged function does not develop. So this is a chance in the human form of body that the consciousness should be developed. More

Make Up Your Minds One scientist putting forward one theory—after a few years this theory is changed. That means knowledge is not perfect. They take it as advancement in research, but actually the knowledge is imperfect. More

The Heart of the Matter You say there is no heart just like you say no soul. That is your version. I say that "When he is doing everything like a human being he has got everything." It is your insufficient knowledge that you say that. More

Inferior and Superior Energies DR. PATEL: You have been unfortunately against them, but think of Albert Einstein. He was totally God conscious throughout his life. PRABHUPADA: Yes, he is all right, but mostly they say, "What is the use of God? Now science, everything science." More

Life is Not a Chemical Combination CYAVANA: They use amino acids and water and electricity. PRABHUPADA: Bluffing. CYAVANA: But this gave great strength to their theory that life can come from matter because they created a one-celled amoeba. They say they created it, that life actually came into it. More

Moon Rising from the East PRABHUPADA: Earth is turning, and moon is turning. But why the sun and moon rise from the same side? PANCHA-DRAVIDA: Because the earth turns in that direction. PRABHUPADA: Just talk if it is proper answer. PUSTA KRSNA: Why doesn't the moon sometimes rise in the south? Or the north? PANCHA-DRAVIDA: Because the sun.... Because the earth is not turning in the opposite direction. What is the Vedic explanation, Srila Prabhupada? PRABHUPADA: Vedic explanation is that moon is not going around the earthly planet. More

"Reap what you sow" What does capitalism mean? If I can cheat you, that's very good. The more I can cheat–oh, a very good man, good businessman, entrepreneur, industrialist, investor. Even if someone has cheated all innocent people who have put their trust in him, he's regarded as a "good" man, "successful" man. More

Fact Not Relative to Faith MADHUDVISA: Then you want us to have faith. PRABHUPADA: No faith. It is knowledge. MADHUDVISA: If I can't see, then it means faith. PRABHUPADA: No, you can't see. You are rascal; how you will see? Just like an astrologer can say it is going to happen. You cannot see, but he can see. More

No Accident This flower is not growing in this tree, and this flower is not growing in this tree by accident. Why it is not happening? Accidents means that. There is no law. Something happens without any law. That is accident. But we are generally seeing that this flower never grows in this tree and this flower never grows in this tree. Where is accident? More

A Wild Guess at Human Destiny "In future we shall understand." And what is this future? Would you accept a post-dated cheque? "In future I shall discover, and therefore I am scientist." What is this scientist? More

Spaced Out All of us are insignificant. Even this planet Earth is insignificant. It is just a speck on which we are sitting and floating in outer space. More

Atomic Theory: superior and inferior energy Physicists, they have not been able to find out the spiritual atom. Therefore they are puzzled, and their scientific research is incomplete. But the Bhagavad-gita gives them information, "You rascal, this is inferior. These material atoms are inferior." Apareyam. They'll not take it. Apareyam itas tu: "Besides this, there is another energy, spiritual energy." More

Artificial Life ATREYA RSI: Prabhupada, is it possible that man could ever make even a one-celled living being? PRABHUPADA: Even if he makes, what is credit there? Cells are already there. What is the question of making? More

Science doesn't go there Creation means the Creator. Just like when I see the picture of so many sculptors. So who has done it? I come to David. To appreciate the creation means you have to come to the point, appreciating the Creator. More

Yet Another Lunatic Mission Hard-earned money is coming from the public and that they are spending it by shooting big rockets off to other planets. All they do is promise to bring back more dust. First they may get a handful of dust, then they promise to bring back tons of dust. More

You Don't Know What You're Missing PRABHUPADA: Just see the imagination, fanatic imagination. He is creating a theory, a species. TAMAL KRSNA: Missing link species. And they have... They have models of this missing link. PRABHUPADA: They know it; still "missing." More

Science of Unknowns They cannot answer this question that there must be something superior which is moving this body. And they cannot answer what is that superior element. More

On Whose Authority? HARIKESA: We can see there's life in the air, there are fishes in the water and birds in the air. And in the earth there are so many worms and crabs and things like that. We see life in these forms but why is it not true that we can see life in fire? More

Particle Men But the real particle they have not found. Real particle is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. That they have not found. More

Heart and Soul The Vedas describe the heart as a sitting place for the soul. So when they transplant hearts, they simply change the soul's seat. The same soul remains. More

Dead Matter and the Life Force Scientists, because they are materialistic persons, they cannot understand wherefrom the energy, the life energy, is emanating. Otherwise life energy is there even within the atom. More

Bluffing Their Way to the Moon INDIAN MAN: You want to say that the astronomers are the mistaken? The astronomers have been mistaken to say all these things? PRABHUPADA: Yes. Everyone commits mistake. Anyone who is conditioned, he must commit mistake. This is our position, that anyone who is not liberated, he must commit mistake. We take knowledge from liberated soul, not from the speculators. That is the difference. CYAVANA: They prove their inadequacy by changing their theories every twenty years. PRABHUPADA: Yes. More

Neither Live Nor Die Once when a saintly person was passing on his way, he met a prince, the son of a king, and he blessed him, saying, "My dear prince, may you live forever." More

Bushy Science: Darwin and more missing links The different forms are already there. Just like the form of monkeys also there, the form of man is also there, other animals, other birds, beasts. So he has no clear conception how the evolution is taking place, neither he has any idea about whose evolution. He simply takes account of the body. More

Something's Missing: evidence that life comes from matter If you say "That is not soul, something missing," so you can replace it. What is that something? That something also you do not know. More

Truth to Dawkin's Claim that America's Religiosity is Exaggerated But even they do not follow the moral principles. Then what is the..., where is the religion? Just like Christian religion, it is said that "Thou shalt not kill.'' But everyone is killing. More

Has Modern Medical Science Really Given Us Longer Life? HARIKESA: Well, now medical science is so advanced that even if you have heart disease they can give you another heart. PRABHUPADA: So does it mean that the situation is changed? No more heart disease or heart is never failure? More

Does Truth Change? Nothing happens accidentally. According to Vedic literature, there is no such word as "accident." The word is adrishta: There is cause; I cannot see it. More

Natural Selection The question is that in the development of the body, is there any plan that a particular kind of body—with, as you say, long hair or fatty tissue—should exist under certain natural conditions? Who has made these arrangements? More

Once Upon a Time “Now we advance.” And what is the guarantee that it is all right? You will advance again. That means you are always incorrect. More

Science Based on "Perhaps, Maybe" Whole world is going on in this way: "We think," "I suppose," "Perhaps," "I believe," like this. Where is science? Science does not depend on your "belief, not belief, supposing, perhaps." More

Conjecture and Speculation Add Up to Bad Astronomy Indeed These rascals are blind, and they are leading some other blind men, and they are satisfied that "We have got all scientific knowledge." More

Evolution and the Soul According to Ishopanishad In the cycle of evolution, the living entity changes bodies one after another. More

Yesterday it was Global Warming, Now it's Global Cooling You cannot give any solution, you are changing your ideas and theories every year, and we have to accept you as scientist? More

Scientific Basis of Transmigration of the Soul The difficulty is that we are talking of transmigration of the soul on scientific basis. But you are trying to give it a Hindu color. Why? To become... I have already explained. To become old man is equally applicable to the Hindus, Muslim, Christian. So why you say it is Hindu belief? It is not Hindu belief. It is a science. More

Soul is the Cause, Body the Effect Then, if you can create life, then where is the question of dead body? You create again. Give life again. If you are so competent that you can give life, combination, then this dead body is there. You bring chemicals and inject. More

How can You Deny God? If one is actually scientist, by his scientific explanation he will point out, "Here is the cause of all causes." By scientific knowledge he will point out that God is the origin of everything. More

Anything You Can Do God Can Do Better And all the oceans? Here is the highway, and there is the ocean. Which is important? [laughter] You might have created these highways, but another engineer has created that ocean, side by side. So who will get the greater credit? More

Theory is Not Faith? Radha-vallabha: [Referring to an article he has read, scientists commenting on scientific knowledge vs. faith] Well, it seems that they're complaining that people are depending on faith for their knowledge. So their claim is that "We do not depend on this faith. We simply take a group of facts, and from these facts, this strong body of facts, we develop a theory which will explain them." More

Drowned Horses Prabhupada: What is that progress? Satsvarupa: Well, people never thought they could reach the moon. Now they think they have. Prabhupada: So that is not progress. Progress means when you conquer death. That is progress. More

Whose Nature is it, after all? There is a mechanism that we call "nature." And from it is coming everything we see around us. Now, how is it that this mechanism is so perfect? And who is it that has devised this mechanism? More

Science Means Observation and Experiment What is the difference between this dead man and living man? What is losing? What is missing? This is the proof. If... I so many times spoken that son is crying, "My father is gone, my father." "Where is your father gone? He is lying here. So what is gone? You have not seen it." More

Nothing to Look Forward To Paramahamsa: But to scientific knowledge there's no life in fire. Prabhupada: Why not? Fire is also one of the elements like water and earth. So if there is life in the water, life on the earth, why not in the fire? What is this logic? More

Thanks for the H-bomb If you take vox populi, so out of eight million four hundred, eight millions do not require a rascal like you. And out of the so-called civilized men, a few only, they require your service. More

Getting Two Plus Two Wrong The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers, their basic principle is wrong, and they're presenting some theories and that is being accepted by people. That is cheating. More

Fundamental Unit of Life Ravindra-svarup: But according to the scientists, our body is made up of little cells just like a brick wall is made up of so many individual bricks. Each... Like in one piece of skin there is... Prabhupada: That's all right. That is body. Just like I live in a house. The house is made of so many bricks. But I am not brick. More

Beyond Hardwired Psychological means mental plane. How he will understand soul from the mental platform? That is not possible. More

Deductive Knowledge Superior to Inductive You study man. You see, first man dies, second man dies, third man dies. In this way, you can go to hundred or thousand man. But I can say that "You might not have seen that man who does not die." More

Don't Come Back Actually whether they have gone or not, that is a doubtful thing, but the thing is, why they are coming down again? That is our challenge. If you have gone to the moon planet then colonise there. More

Missing Link, Missing Skulls, Missing Brains Harikesa: So the only bones they find are the bones of the fifth, sixth, seventh-class men. Prabhupada: Yes, of the monkey-class men. [laughter] That's all. Therefore you conclude that the man comes from monkey. That is the conclusion. Human being, Vedic culture, they burn it. So they have no opportunity to see the human being skull. More

Who's in Charge of the Climate? Nature is only a power, and behind the power is a powerhouse and a brain, just as behind electrical power there is an electrical powerhouse, where everything is conducted by the brain of the resident engineer. More

Let Science Postpone Death They are trying to solve so many questions, but this question does not arise in their mind, that "I don't wish to die. Why death is forced upon me?" Inquire. Come on, all philosophers and scientists, come and make an inquiry commission, that "I don't want to die. More

Wasting Time We consider our human life is very valuable, and before the next death we should prepare ourself go back to home, back to Godhead. This is our philosophy. We cannot waste a minute time before the next death comes. That is our philosophy. So why should we waste our time, Where is the moon? Where is sun? Just have it gist idea, that's all. More

Lunar Ski Holiday at Taxpayers' Expense So those who are actually intelligent men, they will take like that, that "What actual profit you have made? You have spent millions and millions of dollars, and you say, 'Now, we have seen in the moon there is a crack.'" So this bluffing to the public must be stopped. They're squandering money, public money... More

Failure of the Moon Expedition They are already exposed because they have left that expedition. That means they are hopeless. That is exposed. But foolish people will not ask them that "Why you have stopped this expedition?" They will again go on bluffing, and they will accept. More

Governments, Climate and Karma If the government or the chief of the executive power, the king, is just to the point, dharmena, as it was said, "Abiding by the religious principles, ruling over the country," then everything, even natural elements, they become cooperative. More

Afraid of Losing Their Jobs The scientists, as soon as somebody says, "This is all created by God," they become very angry. More

Getting A Head in Life In the history there is no woman who is a big philosopher, a big mathematician, big scientist, big educationist. We don't find. They were all men. More

Day Dream, Night Dream Just like in dream we see so many things. But it has nothing to do with me. So this is night dream. At night, we forget all these things about the day dream. "I am this, I am that. I am this family-member. I am his father. I am his husband." And so on, so on. At night, when dream, are in a different situation. More

What is the Next Step in Our Evolution? Sane gentleman will think that "I have become now... By evolution I have come to this stage human being. What is next? And that is sane. He will think, "What is next? Is it finished here?" The rascal says, "No, after finishing, everything is finished." What is this? If there is evolution—you have come to this stage—then what is the next stage? That is natural. That is answered in the Bhagavad-gita... More

Moving House to the Moon ...We want to stay here permanently. But unfortunately nobody will be allowed to stay even if you want to stay. More

Solutions that Create Problems Man's attempts to adjust to the problems that nature presents create new problems worse than the original problems. They then try to solve the new problems, thus creating more problems. More

Shopping Advisory—how not to get cheated We are challenging, we are calling them by names, "rascal," but I am not a scientist. I never studied astronomy, astrology, or anything. But why I am telling? More

Moon Expedition: Stairway to Heaven
It is the same, Ravana's staircase and the modern attempt to go to the moon planet, the same thing. They will never be able to go, but imagining that "We shall do it." More

They have not gone to the moon
The whole universe, diameter, is panchshat-koti-yojana. One yojana equal to eight miles, and one koti is ten miles, er, ten million. So panchashata, fifty into 10,000,000 into eight. More

Intelligent Life on This Planet? Some scientists have started a project. They are beaming radio messages into space because they think perhaps there is someone intelligent there, and they will beam back something. More

Addiction to Technology For every technological advantage there is also a disadvantage, and that disadvantage obliges us to create another technological program to counteract it, which creates still another disadvantage, which obliges us to create another technological program. More

Mercy Killing or Killing Mercy? The living entity gets a suitable body with a material mind and senses, according to his fruitive activities. When the reaction of his particular activity comes to an end, that end is called death, and when a particular type of reaction begins, that beginning is called birth. More

Science Cannot Check Nature Who is allowing to live long? If you trying to live longer, already trees are living longer than you. Then a tree is better than you? More

Science and Monkey Business So this is not his business. He's a monkey. And he wanted to do that business. Similarly, these things are directly in the hands of God, and these monkeys are coming to get out the plug. So they'll die simply, that's all, like the monkey. They'll never be able to successfully produce soul and these things. More

Believe or Not Believe; Fact is Fact This is not science. But they are going on like that. Whole Darwin's theory is based on this, "Maybe millions of years past..." More

What is Your Credit? Scientists' role... not only scientists; scientists, philosopher, politician—everyone should endeavor that "Wherefrom we got these propensities? Where is the origin?" More

Vedic Scientific and Technological Texts Ancient Sanskrit literature is replete with references to wonder missiles, miracle rays, interstellar travel and astounding medical cures. More

Post-dated Cheque You have not known it till now. You are foolish still. That you have to admit. "In future you will be a rich man, and therefore you give me a post-dated cheque"—who will accept it? More

Living Entities Not Created: scientists will never create life We are all eternal. That is nityo nityanam. I have already explained. Nitya means eternal. There are two eternals: one chief eternal, God, and one subordinate eternals, they are plural number. God is one, and we are many. More

Stop the Killing, Stop the Cheating Ignorance is going as science. Irreligion is going as religion. So how long it will go? People are becoming intelligent. More

Sperm Plus Ovum Do Not Equal Life It is not the semen of the man that creates life within the womb of a woman; rather, the living entity, the soul, takes shelter in a particle of semen and is then pushed into the womb of a woman. More

Rascal Research How it is scientific? Life is already there. Not that the life production is depending on your future scientific research. The life is already going there, hundreds and thousands and millions. You say that you do not know. Why you are claiming that "In future we shall know"? There is no need of your knowing, it is already going on. You do not know. That is your position. And still, you are declaring yourself as scientist. More

Premise is the Problem The whole premise of modern civilization, based on the idea of advancement of education, technology, industry and economics is dismissed by us (VAISHNAVAS) as ERRONEOUS and therefore IRRELEVANT for the well being of this planet earth with its 4 to 5 billion human beings and innumerable animals, insects. More

Let There Be Soap These are foolish theories, that there is no God, things are taking place automatically and things are coming out, these are all foolish theories. There is no evidence. Pramana, there must be evidence. More

Science and the Big Blank The leading scientists are taking too much for granted. They're saying too much, very unscientific, saying that life started from molecules. He said it's all unknown. These are all stories. So he said that it's a little too much. Science doesn't know these things. More

Science Cannot Conquer the Laws of Nature So many birds are floating on the sea. Nobody's interested. But one rascal will advertise that "I can walk." They purchase five hundred rupees ticket. More

Easy Journey to Other Planets: Varieties of Planetary Systems The real problem is how to get free of birth, death, old age and disease. This cannot be solved by simply wasting time traveling within this universe. Even if one goes to the highest planet, this problem cannot be solved, for there is death everywhere. More

Real Scientist Means... So on the wrong platform you may go, go forward more and more, but it will be dismantled because it is wrong. More

Go to the Source This earth, so big, huge quantity of earthly planet. So not only one. Millions. And then water, then fire, then... He cannot conceive. He is thinking that "If there is God, He must be like me. So I cannot do this. Therefore there is no God." The same, "Yes. I close my eyes. Then there is no enemies." More

The Worst Things are Already Happening In the last stage of Kali-yuga there will be no food grains, no milk, no fruits. It will be a very horrible time. People will kill their own children and eat them, just like animals. More

Expose the Rascals "If somebody does not know what is atma-tattva, what is the science of soul, then whatever he is making, so-called advancement that is all defeat." ... And defeat they are taking as success. Just like these rascal scientists, they could not go and settle in the moon planet. Still, they are saying, "It is success. It is success." Just see the fun. More

Improving on Nature If there is no rainfall, what this improvement will help? So that is not in your hand. That is adhidaivika. It depends on the demigods. If they want, they can stop completely, no rainfall. Then what this improvement will do? More

Death is an on-going process cryonics cannot postpone So that you are losing every day, every moment. You are not today what you were yesterday, that you are losing. So, how can you defeat? You are, every moment you are being defeated. More

Scientists and the Art of Imitation Now, in your laboratory, by mixing hydrogen, oxygen, if you produce one ounce of water, what is your credit? Here is vast water already. More

Sincere Atheists and Honest Thieves ...Some atheists say that "We are Godless because nobody has convinced us about the existence of God." That is honesty. That is honesty. But there are rascals, however you may convince him, he'll not take it. That is rascaldom. More

Posing as Scientists And what is that thing which is spreading consciousness? And you show what is that thing which is spreading consciousness. Then I shall accept you as scientist. More

Even a Test Tube Baby can Disprove that Life is Manufactured in the Test Tube By practical experience we see one life is produced by another life. The father, mother begets a child. Not that a child drops from the sky. Their test tube experiment also depends on the father and mother. More

Science, Law and the Lawmaker 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. More

Shameless Science And you cannot prove that life is coming out of matter. That you are leaving aside for future. And I have to believe such a rascal? More

Who is the Greatest Scientist? No, that is cheating. That is not teaching, that is cheating. Just like the scientists said, "There was a chunk, and the creation took place, perhaps..." What is this? Simply cheating. More

Vedic Literatures: Fact or Mythology? Why not? If we have an ocean of salt water and a sea of sweet water, why not an ocean of milk, an ocean of liquor or ocean of honey? We have an ocean of oil underground, and we have an ocean of salt water above ground. More

The Age of Modern Reason and Rise of Secularism: Avoidance of the Established Truth ...In the present age respect for Deductive Process is dwindling whereas respect for Inductive Process is increasing, although we know so far the Inductive research is concerned the process has not been successful. More

No Missing Link and No Species Extinct Their theory is the body is evolving and some body is missing. Nothing is missing. Every body is there. The soul is being transferred from one body to another. More

Science by accident, chance and chaos ...Suppose you threw a protein together at chance—and here we even allow a ten percent error...—but still chance comes out to ten minus two-hundred-and forty-fourth power. Now the scientists are always saying if you wait for a long enough time, even something very unlikely can happen; but here we have a calculation of how long you'd have to wait, according to mathematics and the probability theory, and even if you assume an unrealistically high rate of forming proteins at random, still you'd have to wait, according to this, ten to the hundred-and-sixty-seventh power billion years. More

Scientists mistaking effects for causes RNA is a big molecule and that is actually transferred from this DNA molecule. DNA molecule, they call it the master molecule from which everything comes, all the molecules. Now if we see this carefully, we can see at every step that there is a specific direction and information without which this whole machinery will break down. More

Does rice give birth to scorpions? Now Pasteur found that there was no micro-organisms fermenting the flask, in the solution inside the flask. But after some time he cut the neck of the flask, that is in the second flask, then as soon as the neck is cut, then microorganisms from the air, surrounding air, atmosphere, entered into the flask, and then the solution is fermented. More

Molecules to Chicken: Definition of Life and Its Origin They say you have to wait, give the molecules chance, hundreds of billions of years, then you'll see life. But I'm not going to live for billions of years, neither scientist is going to live. But here I see practically that a small egg, it gives life within one week. More

Science of the Soul at MIT The idea is that we are making progress, certainly, in technology, in economics, in so many other departments of human necessities. But Bhagavad-gita says that real problem of this world, or real problem of our life, it is said in the Bhagavad-gita, ...if you are intelligent enough, then you should see the real problem is birth, death, old age and disease. More

Mechanistic and Non-Mechanistic Science by Richard L. Thompson—A Review What becomes apparent from these analyses is the shoddiness, the illogic, and the invalidity of so much modern scientific 'doctrine.' 'Science' emerges, not as the shining and glorious edifice of the modern scientists' imagination, but as a flimsy, tottering, ramshackle structure, much of which begins to look more like pseudo-science than science: it is a structure riddled with fallacies. More

Nothing Comes From Nothing But how all of a sudden there can be explosion? What is this nonsense proposition? As soon as there is question of explosion, before the explosion takes place, there must be some arrangement. More

Reckless Driving and Reckless Science The soul is going to become a dog next life after riding motorcar." That is written, and they have no knowledge. But because you have advanced from bullock cart to motorcar, this is.... So rascal they are. They have no knowledge what is advancement. More

Lunatic Propaganda They want to draw some salary, big salaries, by bluffing the government and the public. This is their business. They are failing. They have finished their business on this planet; now they are going another planet. More

Potency of Sound That subtle forms exist in the ether has been proven by modern science by transmission of television, by which forms or photographs of one place are transmitted to another place by the action of the ethereal element. That is very nicely explained here. This verse is the potential basis of great scientific research work, for it explains how subtle forms are generated from the ethereal element... More

Eclipses and Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy In the Vedic literature it is often mentioned that Rahu causes solar and lunar eclipses by passing in front of the sun or moon. To many people, this seems to blatantly contradict the modern explanation of eclipses, which holds that a solar eclipse is caused by the passage of the moon in front of the sun and a lunar eclipse is caused by the moon's passage through the earth's shadow. However... More

Rains from the Sky by Chanting They can have rains from the sky by chanting. The rain will fall from the sky. Who can check it? Krishna gives the water from the sky. Yajnad bhavati parjanyah [Bhagavad-gita 3.14]. More

Soul Research In 1972, a distinguished panel met in Windsor, Ontario, and discussed "problems associated with attempts to define the exact moment of death." Panel members included world-famous heart surgeon Dr. Wilfred G. Bigelow, Mr. Justice Edson L. Haines of the Ontario Supreme Court, and J. Francis Leddy, president of the University of Windsor. Dr. Bigelow upheld the existence of the soul and urged systematic research to determine what the soul is and where it comes from. More

Scientific Advancement Towards Death You are God-less and you do not know. What you have gained? Your mother and father have died. Why don't you save them? What is the value of your education? And you will also die. Have you invented something that man will not die? Then it would have value. You have given simply the faculty to die earlier with your atomic energy. More

Subtle Laws of the Universe We have discussed about brahmastra. It is almost similar to the modern nuclear weapon or bomb. But it is made with chemicals, but this brahmastra is made of mantra. That is the subtle way. More

Colossal Hoax and Cash Cow The material elements are not creative! Only the soul is creative. Life cannot be created from matter, and matter cannot create itself. You, a living entity, can mix hydrogen and oxygen to create water. But matter itself has no creative potency. More

Where Were You 20 Billion Years Ago? What is the difference between the modern scientist's theory that life is created by combining chemicals and the alchemist's idea from the Middle Ages that he could produce gold by combining various metals? Today we laugh at the alchemist, but we accept the scientist's proposal that he will produce life by combining chemicals. More

"In Future We Shall Do It" So many so-called philosophers and scientists, simply speaking lies and untruth. They have no knowledge. As soon as you challenge them, they will say, "Yes, we are trying. In future we shall do it." More

Society of the Cheaters and the Cheated But they give false knowledge and hanker after Nobel Prize. Just see. Their real aim is how to get the Nobel Prize by cheating. More

America Has to Stop Demonism Why America went to Vietnam? To stop communism, but ... we have to stop demoniac civilization. Then the human society will be happy and in normal condition. More

Nothing Else Needs to be Done We are living in a society that is based on something that is so fundamentally erroneous, as a result we are working for nothing, working for things we don't need. More

Life Comes from Life In popular works and in textbooks scientists present their account of the material origin of life as the only possible scientific conclusion. They claim that no other theory can be scientifically acceptable. ... Yet in their journals and private discussions, the same scientists acknowledge that their theory has grave, sometimes insuperable difficulties. More

The Tiny World of Modern Science God cannot be known by the inductive process. Therefore He is called adhokshaja, which means "unknowable by direct perception." The scientists say there is no God, because they are trying to understand by direct perception. More

The Physics of the Soul The science of the self can be verified logically. More

The Challenge With all due respect to Dr. Kovoor, I beg to point out that the process of direct sensory perception, on the strength of which he has made so many statements regarding life and death, is completely limited and imperfect. More

It's not a matter of faith; it's a matter of science The evidence goes well beyond the scope of a religion class. If the educationists can be persuaded to open the classrooms up to real science, that is, investigation and debate based on scientific principles, teachers and students may get access to the oldest body of knowledge in the world: the Vedas.
