Through the Vedic Lens

A recent BTG article discussed seeing things through the Vedic lens. Some think that Krsna consciousness is a form a fanaticism, and that seeing things through only one window is limiting. A quote supporting this says that the pursuit of truth is like picking raspberries. “You miss a lot if you approach it from only one angle.” But the counterargument, and the one that would apply to seeing things through the Vedic lens, or as Krsna would see them, is enshrined in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous novel, “The Great Gatsby.” He wrote: “I was going to bring back all such things into my life and become again that most limited of all specialists, the “well-rounded” man. This isn’t just an epigram – life is much more successfully looked at from a single window, after all.”
