Blind man's bluff

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Science community has come out in defense of global warming research and derides those who question the science and do not worship at the altar of the "fund-a-mentalists" (read that as "funded scientists") as opportunistic heathens, but the scandal continues to rage

Telegraph Dec 16, 2009 - JAMES DELINGPOLE

Climategate goes SERIAL: now the Russians confirm that UK climate scientists manipulated data to exaggerate global warming

Climategate just got much, much bigger. And all thanks to the Russians who, with perfect timing, dropped this bombshell just as the world’s leaders are gathering in Copenhagen to discuss ways of carbon-taxing us all back to the dark ages. ...What the Russians are suggesting here, in other words, is that the entire global temperature record used by the IPCC to inform world government policy is a crock. go to story

Gold Eagle MARK J. LUNDEEN - Dec 11, 2009 These E-Mails are damning, and prove that a decade of "Global Warming Research" is at odds with scientific practices established hundreds of years ago. These Universities' Administrators who provided laboratory and office space, as well as a yearly six figure income (?) to these "Researchers" are complicit in this fraud against science. One does not need to understand the data to understand that a trillion dollar fraud is being committed. Here's why I've concluded this...

Dishonest Scientists A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

DR. SINGH: Srila Prabhupada, what you say about modern scientists is quite accurate, Even though they know they have imperfect senses, make mistakes, and become illusioned, most are still eager to present themselves as big authorities and take big salaries. Dishonesty. And worse, they teach this dishonesty to their students. more

Open your eyes

excerpt from lecture, Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.25, Los Angeles, Aug 28, 1972

Mischievous, miscreants, simply wasting money. They're taking huge salary, huge research fees from the government, and simply misleading persons. That is their business. Miscreants. Actually, they want money, but to take the money he has to bluff. Without bluffing, how he can take money? Then they will present themselves: "I am great scientist, I am great philosopher, so give me money, millions of dollars. I'll go to the moon planet, I'll go to the Mars," and taking money and wasting. And because we are rascals, we are also: "Oh, they are making so much advancement, yes." Andha yathandhair upaniyamanah [Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.5.31 {1}]. We are following blind leaders. Because we are blind, we do not know. This is the position. Andha yathandhair upaniyamanah. So we have to open our eyes. How these eyes are opened?

"I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him."

We are blind. We can have our eyes through the medium of bona fide spiritual master. That is required. Adau gurvashrayam ["To enter into the spiritual life, first thing is first of all to accept a guru." {Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu}].

1 - "Persons who are strongly entrapped by the consciousness of enjoying material life, and who have therefore accepted as their leader or guru a similar blind man attached to external sense objects, cannot understand that the goal of life is to return home, back to Godhead, and engage in the service of Lord Viñëu. As blind men guided by another blind man miss the right path and fall into a ditch, materially attached men led by another materially attached man are bound by the ropes of fruitive labor, which are made of very strong cords, and they continue again and again in materialistic life, suffering the threefold miseries." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.5.31)
