Guest guest Posted July 26, 1999 Report Share Posted July 26, 1999 Once again, this underlines Srila Prabhupada's quote in the March 1974 Varnasrama walks. What will the brahmanas do in a varnasrama society? He replied, "They will all be teachers." Where are those brahmanas who are being trained in practical chemistry like this? If they can learn such a thing and teach it to sudra craftsmen, how inspired they will become to see that Krsna has provided such things right where they live! You can't imagine how we felt after Mrs. Garland gave us just a one-day plant presentation. We were thinking, "Every single one of these plants has some amazing use. Some of them have many uses. This is no accident. This is Krsna's specific arrangement. Krsna is right here in these plants! This is some kind of miracle." Where are the brahmanas studying practical chemistry?your servant, Hare Krsna dasi Dear Hare Krsna, I have heard that every plant has MEDICINAL value, what to speak of even other uses- I have heard that from an Ayurvedic doctor, but its just that so much of Ayurvedic knowledge is lost in Kali- Yuga. Since there is a shortage of such available brahmanas, and since as you have pointed out, the subject is so vast, would it be more practical to prioritize their study to that which is essential to self-sufficiency? For example, cures to common ailments, plant dyes, soap-making- if the study of chemistry is directed in that way it would be very useful. Any chemists know of a formula for ash-based soap?
