About this item
Is life only a combination of atoms? Are we mere robots? For people who have come to accept every pronouncement of modern scientists as tested and proven truth, this book, "Life Comes From Life", will be an eye-opener.
In Life Comes from Life Srila Prabhupada takes the role of philosopher / social critic. With philosophical rigor, profound common sense and disarming frankness, he exposes not only modern science's methodological shortcomings and unexamined biases but also the unverified (and unverifiable) speculations that scientists present to the trusting public as known fact. Thus Srila Prabhupada breaks the spell of the materialistic and nihilistic myths which, masquerading as science, have so bewitched modern civilization.
This book is based on taped morning walk conversations that Srila Prabhupada had with some of his disciples during 1973, in the Los Angeles area.
Srila Prabhupada (1896-1977) is an internationally recognized author, scholar and spiritual preceptor, and he is widely esteemed as India's greatest cultural ambassador to the world. In Life Comes From Life with philosophical rigor, profound common sense and a disarming frankness, he exposes not only modern science's methodological shortcomings and unexamined biases but also the unverified (and unverifiable) speculations that scientist present to the trusting public as known fact. Thus Srila Prabhupada breaks the spell of the materialistic and nihilistic myths which, masquerading as science, have so bewildered modern civilization.

I have given away many copies in the past and always forgot to keep a copy for myself. This book was the first book that I ever read by HDG, my wife brought the book home from a second hand book shop knowing that I was looking for some hope in 'religion'. I immediatley gave up meat eating and started to chant. This was in 1994. It is great to have a new copy. Thanks HaribolRead less
