Hari-śauri: It says underneath, "Ratha-yātrā in foreign lands." That's the caption underneath the picture. Prabhupāda: Where is it? Gargamuni: "Ratha-yātrā in foreign lands." Prabhupāda: "Hare Kṛṣṇa Swamis." Read it. Read it. Maṇihāra: "Hare Kṛṣṇa Swamis." Hari-śauri: Speak up. Maṇihāra: "Man has unraveled many mysteries in his progress from barbarianism to civilization in his relentless pursuit of knowledge and his bid to add to his storehouse of information about the myriad mysteries of the universe. He has outstepped the boundaries of the earth and turned his attention to outer space, and at present he is trying to determine whether life exists on Mars. But even though he has climbed a long way up the ladder of knowledge, the great mystery of all baffles him still—the mystery of God.

Who is God? What is the relationship between man and God? Why should man try to realize God? These are some of the questions which have been engaging the attention of all thinking men from times immemorial.
