Krishna is very kind to the meek and simple
Krishna is very kind to the meek and simple, so dullness of the material world and consciousness about Krishna go well together. Too much intelligence in material activities are detraction from Krishna Consciousness. … There is a nice story about Bharata Maharaja, who remained just like a dullard, in order to avoid material association. And he was known as Jada Bharata, but when he was tested, Maharaja Rohugan found him highly advanced in Krishna Consciousness, and became his disciple.

Vedic Insight
Modern science prefers “bottom-up,” the ascending process, to “top-down,” the descending method, but Prabhupada came to turn all of that upside down. With his razor-sharp intelligence, so finely honed on the strap of Vedic knowledge and insight, Prabhupada exposed the leaders of the world as devoid of true education. He did not reject the scientific method, but recommended first hearing from scripture and then doing research based on scriptural insight. In this section we present vedic insight to latest news in science and technology based on the teachings of Srila Prabhupada.
