Summary: This podcast features Prithu Prabhu's morning Bhagavatam lecture at the Copenhagen Hare Krishna Temple, given on May 19, 2008, on text 41-42 of the Srimad Bhagavatam, chapter 6, 4th canto. There are three basic types of knowledge: Pratyaksa (perception), anumana (inference) and sabda (revelation); the latter being superior to the others. Discussing Srila Prabhupada's statement: "When the scriptures of the yavanas—namely the Old Testament, New Testament and Koran—cannot properly answer inquisitive followers, naturally those advanced in scientific knowledge and philosophy lose faith in such scriptures."
