When Srila Prabhupada wrote “Easy Journey to Other Planets” in the early 1960s, the space race between the United States and the former Soviet Union was on. When he wrote “Sri Isopanisad” he decried “the Capitalists” and “The Communists,” both of whom were bent on global hegemony. Both had (and still have) the capability of destroying one another. Srila Prabhupada made it clear that neither system is perfect within itself, but that if either or both find the means to bring devotional service into their political philosophies, the world will become happy and peaceful. He brings this out beautifully in his “Sri Isopanisad,” in the purport to the first text.
