question

[Guest guest]

Dandavats Mahamantra ji!

 

Hari Haribol!! Thanks for the Vrindavan quote. I heard you are India

right now. Are you going to Russia this year?

 

I was wondering if you could help me out. I received the question below

which I could respond with general answer but maybe it would be better

to get a comprehensive answer. As with many questions there are

different ways and on different levels we could answer them. Your

input would be helpful. Thanks. ys,umesh

Dear Sir,

 

I have a spiritual question for you. I am asking

this question because I was reading the Art of

self realization yesterday and there is on

chapter by Bhaktivedanta PrabhuPada

which disturbed me. Please answer this question

as soon as possible.

 

In our Hindu religion there is a concept of soul that

is central to all belief in God. Prabhupada

was arguing that scientists can only

say that there is no soul but they can never make

a life out of chemicals. That was true some 50

years ago but with animal cloning that has been

done and even human cloning is possible that

is no longer true. Where is the soul in the cloning

process. What happens to the soul?

 

Please answer this question as my belief is in

God and I know that without God there is nothing

possible in life. As you know, Satan has tried to

come into my mind by questioning me but I have

to throw him out of my mind forever.

 

Also I wanted to ask you where I can find the

English versions of the Vedas as I have know my

religion well.

 

Thanks a lot,

and hope to hear back from you soon,

Rakesh Ranjan
