Today's Thought:

Krishna Consciousness--Perfection of Science
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin, Texas USA

Science means to know things as they actually are, not as they appear to be or as we think them to be. If one is truly scientific, he must not blindly accept something as being either true or false because it could in fact be just the opposite. For science to be perfect the instruments used to acquire and analyze the data must also be perfect. If the instruments are imperfect, the data and conclusions drawn from such  imperfect observation will also necessarily be imperfect. Since all scientific instruments currently available only function within a highly limited spectrum of reality, modern science is still quite unscientific and hence still groping along in the dark ages.

Fortunately we have a scientific instrument available to us which, if properly focused, can give us perfect data thus allowing us to have perfect scientific knowledge. That scientific instrument is consciousness, but it must be properly focused. If a mirror is dirty, it cannot give a good reflection. But if it is clean, it will reflect things very clearly. Similarly when consciousness is properly focused by being cleansed of all dirt, it can yield a perfect scientific vision of reality. That cleansing process has been taught to us by great enlightened sages, who could directly perceive all the scientific truths regarding this universe and the multi-universes, both mundane and supra-mundane, beyond the present universe in which we reside. That cleansing process is the mantra yoga system. By meditating on the mantra, a transcendental vibration coming from beyond this mundane universe, by regularly chanting and hearing it, all the dust which is presently covering the consciousness is cleared away and one can directly perceive everything clearly in a state of total awakening, just as the sun lights up everything in the daytime. Although the Vedic literatures from ancient India contain many powerful bona fide mantras, they recommend the Hare Krishna mantra as being the most powerful and effective mantra for this age. This greatest of all mantras is as follows:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama,  Rama Rama, Hare Hare

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Should We Read Bhagavad-gita At Home?


My obeisances, Gurudeva.

Some say that the Bhagavad-gita should not be read at home. I request you to clear this doubt.

Thank you
V.S.

 


Answer: Read Bhagavad-gita Everywhere


We do not listen to what some say. We listen to what Krishna says. He says that we should always be absorbed in hearing, remembering,
and following the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita. This means that you must regularly read the Bhagavad-gita at home and wherever you may  be.
