Sastra research institute serves as online platform for researchers,
scholars and all philosophically minded devotees in and around ISKCON
Vaisnava universe who seek blessings of Srila Prabhupada who wrote:
“Vedic knowledge is not a question of research. Our research work is
imperfect because we are researching things with imperfect senses. We
have to accept perfect knowledge which comes down, as is stated in
Bhagavad-gita, by the parampara (disciplic succession).” (Introduction
to Bhagavad-gita as it is)
“Since a devotee also engages in philosophical research to understand
the Supreme Person as He is, his activities may thus appear to be like
those of a mental speculator, but actually he is trying to understand
the spiritual nature and transcendental activities. Thus although the
tendency for philosophical speculation exists, the material effects of
fruitive activities and empiric speculation do not exist, because this
activity is meant for the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” (Srimad
Bhagavatam 3.27.23, purport)
