Three Kinds Of Attackers Shri Rama Can Thwart

Melding Faith And Empirical Knowledge

“Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation.

What Is The Purpose Of Science

“The aim of the analytical study of the material world is to find the soul of existence. The soul of the material world is Vishnu, or the Supersoul. Devotional service to the Lord entails service to the Supersoul. One process is to find the root of the tree, and next to water the root. The real student of sankhya philosophy finds the root of the material world, Vishnu, and then, in perfect knowledge, engages himself in the service of the Lord.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 5.4 Purport)

Three Cases That Prove The Existence Of An Overseer And Permitter

Three Times Shri Rama Politely Declined Service Offered To Him

Fulfillment Of A Prophecy Told Many Years Before

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the shelter of the complete creation and from whose lotus navel the whole creation is manifested, immediately knocked the crown from the head of Kamsa and grabbed his long hair in His hand. He then dragged Kamsa from his seat to the wrestling dais and threw him down. Then Krishna at once straddled his chest and began to strike him over and over again. Simply from the strokes of His fist, Kamsa lost his vital force.” (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 1, Ch 43)
