For most devotees the name Vaiyasaki Das, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada, is synonymous with ecstatic kirtans and bhajans along with his Kirtan Explosion Band. He travels the world year after year with his devoted wife Kishori Devi Dasi doing kirtan events and presenting bhakti yoga in various favorable venues including Yoga centers and ISKCON festivals.
Little do they know that he is also a recognized Bestselling author on Amazon. His Blockbuster book, Cosmology On Trial: Cracking The Cosmic Code, became the #1 bestseller in its category several times over the past year. Now his newest addition to the “On Trial” series, Stephen Hawking On Trial: Confronting The Big Bang, has reached the same luminary status becoming the #1 bestseller in the Physics category on Amazon.
When Vaiyasaki prabhu surrendered his life to Srila Prabhupada he focused on spreading kirtan wordwide. Not long ago, he decided to serve the desire of Srila Prabhupada to expose the false claims of the Big Bang origin of the universe. His goal was to open the eyes of the general public who have accepted these claims as gospel truth.
Although not a trained physicist, he undertook the challenge of putting into writing arguments against these false claims, depending only on Krishna. He decided to use a legal trial format with judge and jury to put scientific concepts to the test beyond a reasonable doubt. He wanted readers to be on the ‘jury’ and judge for themselves from the evidence whether the Big Bang theory is based on genuine data or is simply ‘modern mythology’ based on mathematics. His books have met with unprecedented success beyond his wildest imagination.
Devotees would also do well to seriously read these books. As the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium rises and ISKCON reaches greater levels of public attention, it will be necessary for devotees to explain where science is right and where it is wrong. Sadaputa Dasa (Dr. Richard L. Thompson PhD), the architect of the planetarium design for the TOVP (www.youtube.com/SadaputaChannel) used to stress this point regularly that it’s not enough to just say that the Vedas are right and science is wrong. Srila Prabhupada also wanted devotees to understand the importance and power of seeing through the veil of illusion created by modern science through which it has presented itself as the authority on the universe.
