Guest guest Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! ---------------------------- Those belonging to some sectarian faith will wrongly consider that sanatana-dharma is also sectarian, but if we go deeply into the matter and consider it in the light of modern science, it is possible for us to see that sanatana-dharma is the business of all the people of the world -- nay, of all the living entities of the universe. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Bg Introduction (p. 18) ---------------------------- How is modern science helpful in ascertaining "that sanatana-dharma is the business of all the people of the world" ? Which of the (many) sciences is His Divine Grace specifically refering to? Or is HDG speaking about the modern scientific method in general? Thank you very much in advance. Hare Krishna. Your humble servant, Rogier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not sure what Srila Prabhupada meant by this. My gut feeling tells me he is referring to Vedic concepts of the body/soul dichotomy - one which is not well developed by other philosophies/religions, but can readily be accepted by people of all faiths due to logic and common sense. Such ideas will readily appeal to scientifically minded persons since they are based on unassailable reasoning. yours, - HKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a good example, Srila Prabhupada walks readers through this subject step by step in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 2.2.35. MDd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
