Chaitanya Charan das: Dear Devotees, By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, on the occasion of his Vyasa-puja, we are very happy and grateful to announce the launching of a new website — thespiritualscientist.com.
The Spiritual Scientist (TSS) is an ezine run by VOICE (Vedic Oasis for Inspiration, Culture and Education), which is the educational wing of ISKCON, Pune. TSS offers a logical and scientific introduction, spiced with quotes and stats, to Krishna conscious philosophy. TSS has been running for over 5 years and has almost a hundred issues published till date. Many TSS articles have been published in BTG as well as leading Indian newspapers like The Times of India. TSS is a humble attempt to assist the Vaishnavas in their preaching to the secular world. To make these articles more easily accessible, we have come up with this site thespiritualscientist.com, which is a compilation of all TSS articles till date. The articles have been divided with four categories:
1. Science and Spirituality
2. Vedic Insights
3. Self-help
4. Festival meditations We hope that this site will be useful in your preaching and we seek your blessings to keep improving our service both qualitatively and quantitatively. A brief glimpse into some of the articles is given below. On behalf of TSS committee, Your servant, Chaitanya Charan das, B E E&TC, Author, The Spiritual Scientist.
