video: An excerpt from a Srimad-Bhagavatam lecture by Sri Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa at ISKCON Bangalore
Bahulasva, June 22, 1975, Los Angeles: I was trying to arrange a meeting between Your Divine Grace and this astronaut, Dr. Mitchell, and also this other famous scientist, Werner von Braun. But they are on the east coast at this time, so they couldn’t come. But they both wrote nice letters that they would like to meet you if they could be in California at the same time.
Revatinandana: This von Braun is a big rocket scientist from the old days. He designed the V-2 missile in Germany during World War II, and then he designed the American missiles during the space program.
Prabhupada: What benefit he has done?
Revatinandana: Well, he’s recently said… He retired, and he said now he thinks the only purpose of life is to research about God, to find out about God. He’s very famous, so…
Prabhupada: That is good. They have finished already science. Now if they do not come to God, then they are finished. They have nothing to say any more. Athato brahma jijnasa. That is Vedanta. Now they have finished all their so-called talent. Now they have to come to brahma-jijnasa, inquiry about the Supreme. That is their concern now. Now they have cheated public and bluffed them, they are going to this, going to this, but they are all failures. Now they are anxious how to keep their position. That is the problem.
