The Goal of Science and Scientific Exploration

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Bhaktivedantist
Founder, Bhaktivedanta Institute

Abstract: The goal of all kinds of human endeavours including scientific endeavour must be to know the Absolute Truth or GOD. Humility, which is an essential part of any seeker of spiritual knowledge should also be an integral element of any successful scientific endeavour. Furthermore. today, there is a great need for introducing the science of God on a scientific basis in academic institutions around the world. Science must study the imperishable one, which is the eternal spirit soul. Religion is also a scientific endeavour for it is a scientific study of God. The leaders of human society including scientists cannot neglect this ancient spiritual science because they are directly or indirectly responsible for the conduct of a happy society.
