This Krishna Consciousness is a Science
by Suresvara Dasa
By Krishna's mercy I found that no one could defeat me in any argument, no matter how educated they might be by any material estimation. I spoke to a college professor once when I was selling books in Knoxville, Tennessee. He said he was a scientist. He looked at my devotee dress and said that our movement was just a bunch of sentimentalists just dancing and chanting in the street. In response I repeated something word for word that I had read in one of Prabhupada's books: “This Krishna Consciousness is a science to understand what is the difference between a dead body and a living body.” Nothing so extraordinary about this statement, at least on the surface; but when I spoke these words there was suddenly a mild thundering in the sky. The air crackled as if charged with electricity and the wind howled. Astonished, the professor looked at me and I looked at him. Both of us felt as if our hair was standing on end. He said, “Give me all those books! I must have those books!" I sold him twelve hardbound Bhagavad-gitas!
