Devotees from UK participate in BBC’s popular TV show “Big Questions”
Visnu Murti Das, Head of Deity Worship at ISKCON Leicester took part in BBC One’s The Big Questions debate show in London, where the topic of debate was “Is there too much evidence to believe in religion?” The Big Questions team were keen to speak to a devotee with a scientific background, and Visnu’s training as a bio medical scientist stood him in good stead. He was the only person on the panel that was representing the Vaishnava Hindu perspective. Live on air he was asked a question about what the Vedas said about the human condition and his view on the debate question. He spoke of the scientific nature of the Vedas and drew on examples in the Srimad Bhagvatam that accurately describe the different stages of foetal development, and highlighted how this content was contained in an ancient text.
