“In Sanskrit, this song (Damodarastakam) is an exquisite poem, very beautifully written. It begins majestically-I bow to the Lord, then it explains something very advanced-who has an eternal body of bliss and knowledge. In many different religions, they say-I bow to the Lord, but this is Krishna Consciousness-I bow to the Lord who has an eternal body full of bliss and knowledge.”

"Krishna Consciousness is a spiritual science, but it`s a metaphysical science, a science to discover and understand things greater than vou, just like empirical science is a science to understand things less than you, such as dead matter.
It`s not that empirical science is more scientific, it`s just that it aims lower."
