Sa-vijñāna is more important. Vijñānam means theoretical. And sa-vijñāna means practical... Or you can write, "Spiritual Science." No. That will not ring for them. They will not understand "Spiritual Science."
Interview and Conversation -- July 8, 1976, Washington, D.C.:

Rūpānuga: So the title of the journal is Sa-vijñānam, Sa-vijñāna.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: "Scientific Knowledge"

Svarūpa Dāmodara: "In"? This "in"?

Rūpānuga: That's what Śrīla Prabhupāda said, "In Scientific Knowledge." I was wondering, if this, is this, sa, mean "in"?

(to devotees:) Any other scientists have any other questions they'd like to ask Śrīla Prabhupāda while we have this time?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes, any question?
