Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 This picture of Venus, taken by the Venera 13 space probe, corresponds to astronomers typical descriptions of the planet- that it is a lifeless desert. Does such a description invalidate the Puranic descriptions of life on other planets, including the ones along Bhu Mandala, the plane of the planetary orbits, our solar system? Maybe the question really is, can we trust this picture? The Venera 9 lander, for example, passed through an upper atmosphere in which clouds swirl around at 360 kilometers per hour, and reported a surface temperature of 900* F. We are assured that the lander carried an ample cooling system for its mission, but we all may want to ask what material the parachute was made of! It opened up at 60 kilometers above the surface of the planet. Even assuming that the craft was able to parachute through the 360 kilometer per hour winds, the question remains: What could that parachute have been made of that it did not melt nor burn during a 60 kilometer descent at 900*F? NASA ( Never A Straight Answer ) seems to have met its match in the Russian space agency. The Bhagavat Purana paints a different description of the planet. In the ninth canto, 18th chapter, a narration describes the activities of Devayani, the daughter of Shukra- the predominating deity of the Venus. According to the Puranic descriptions, the predominating deity of a planet is the soul personified of the planet. There, a palace garden is described full of lotuses, and trees of flowers and fruits, inhabited by sweetly singing birds and bumble bees. It is described that lotus-eyed girls took a walk along the bank of a reservoir. At one point in the narration, Shukra-Acharya, Devayani's father, made a comment about grains in the field. According to this description, Venus seems to harbor life as on Earth.
