“If one has got unflinching faith in Krishna and His
representative, guru, then all the knowledge
will be revealed to him automatically.
Just like yourself. You are a big scientist.
You have talked with me, you have studied with me,
and you have examined me in so many ways.
And I have also spoken whatever I had knowledge.
Unless you are convinced, how you can say that
“You are my spiritual master?”

— Lecture, Srimad-Bhagavatam 1974

“Svarupa Damodara must be the best
candidate. Others, what they’ll know about it? All other
Ph.D.s, they are simply rubber stamped. Actually they
have no knowledge. Svarupa Damodara has solid
knowledge. He has learned from us. Therefore he’s writing
all these books. …Now, he’s writing books on this.”

— Room Conversation, Detroit, June 15, 1976

“… out of so many scientists in
the country only you and a few others
are understanding the importance of
this subject matter – manusyanam sahasresu.”

“So we have got a great mission.
You are one of the strong pillars of the mission…
Be fully strong to push on this cult amongst
the educated scientific circle…
When you present more scientifically,
they will be convinced”

“… so if I would not have students like you,
