Time Magazine's 100 most important people of the 20th century
USA (VNN) - Next March (March 1998), TIME magazine will publish the
first of several issues celebrating the 100 most important people
of the 20th century. As each issue is published, CBS News will
broadcast a 1-hour Prime Time special on the personalities in
the issue, produced in partnership with TIME. This is an opportunity
to show the importance of great Vaishnavas in the world. Some
Vaishnavas have suggested that the Vaishnava community get together
and nominate Srila Prabhupada.
Below are some instructions on how to vote:
Using your Web Browser, go to this web site: http://www.time.com.
Click on the "Time 100 Who defines the 20th century." icon.
If you want to vote for Srila Prabhupada put "A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada" (exactly) in every category you feel fit.
Some found the "Scientist & Healer" category most appropriate
amongst the ones listed. Right now, Einstein is the leading person
in this category with 20,000 votes, followed by Edward Teller
with 17,000. At the bottom is Carl Sagan with 6,000 votes. Some
have suggested that scientists like Einstein and Carl Sagan have
caused significant damage to the spiritual world view and have
led to the establishment of a materialistic society. Madonna is
4th in the list with 14,000 votes.
