There can be no errors in siddhanta

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: Srila Prabhupada called me. He asked if I was editing. No. No time? No, I have time. Then he said, "In the future, anything we publish will be taken as exactly scripture, so there can be no errors in siddhanta, no wrong conclusion." He gave me a devotee's essay and said he would send me other essays to read carefully for acceptance in BTG. I then told him that Professor Hopkins wanted him for two weeks next fall. He said it would be good prestige to do it, so we're planning it. He read from the verse jivo jivasya jivanam, One living entity lives on another. He said in every scripture there is sacrifice for eating flesh. Why should there be starvation? There are so many things to eat. He cited Dhruva, who ate only water and then stopped that. He asked what the latest scientific theory was. I said, "Origin of Life." I told him how they wanted to control the human population. He said the four divisions of society are already there. I mentioned Frankenstein. He said that was only a story.
