AgtSP. > You wrote:"The main point is, that they cannot go to the moon." > > Nasa didn't to the moon? Obviously not. If they went there, why not going again? Compters arround 1970 were a joke. Even today they cannot go to the moon, what to speak of then. Anyway, there are karmi books written on this subject. =========== What is the proof that they have gone to the moon? Why they are not now utilizing it, and they simply remain quiet? They have simply squandered so much money but there is no proof that they went. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Purusottama -- Los Angeles 4 June, 1976 ============ Besides, you cannot enter Candraloka by machines. ============ Svarupa Damodara: So due to a lack of morals, they cannot see the real side. Prabhupada: Yes. No, they are seeing only the caves. Just like they are going to the moon. They are going to the desert of the moon and they are concluding the moon is a desert. That's all. The other side is prohibited. Svarupa Damodara: So they cannot go. Prabhupada: They cannot go because according to Vedic description, moon is a planet for demigods. So they have got better brain. So they saw that "These rascals are coming here. All right, let them go to desert side." They have got their machine also. If they have got better brain, they can divert you. Why not think in that way? Their theory is that all other planets there is no life. Only this planet is favored by God, there is life. We say even in the sun planet there is life. (break) (indistinct) Here is your transport(?). We are trying to send back to home, back to Godhead. This is real transport. >>> Ref.

Throw there some metal machinery? One thing is shooting some rockets there, another thing is going there. (BTW. Can you say, that those laser reflectors are actually proof, that man was there? Any rocket can be sent there and reflectors can be put by robot.) Anyway, the point is that you cannot force yourself to Chandraloha, heavenly planet. There is a whole interview on this with Srila Prabhupada in Vedabase. Please read it. =========== Prabhupada: Yes. So far the movement is concerned, it has nothing to do with the moon planetary journey, it has nothing to do. But in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the authoritative Vedic scripture which we generally follow, in that scripture there is statement that for promoting oneself to the moon planet, one has to accustom himself to the different kind of worshiping process. Just like in the Bhagavad-gita it is stated that yanti deva-vrata devan [bg. 9.25]. Those who are worshiper of the demigods, they are promoted to different planets of the particular demigods. Yanti deva-vrata devan pitrn yanti pitr-vratah. And those who are worshiper of the pitrs, or forefathers, they go to that planet. Similarly, one who is engaged in worshiping the Supreme Lord, he also goes to the supreme planet. These informations are there in the Bhagavad-gita. And so far moon planet is concerned, that is within this material world. Those who are pious actors, those who are engaged in pious activities according to Vedic rituals, they can go to the moon planet. That is stated in the... >>> Ref. VedaBase => Interview with LA Times Reporter About Moon Trip -- December 26, 1968, Los Angeles ============= Srila Prabhupada is teaching us to be allways doubtful in scientists, and reject them immediately. =========== Prabhupada: These rascals are... I'm doubtful whether they are going to moon planet or some hell planet. Harav abhaktasya kuto mahad-guna [sB 5.18.12]. Our only formula is anyone who is not Krsna conscious, he has no good qualities -- we reject him, whatever he may be. He is rejected from the list of good men, immediately. He may be president or he may be this or that, it doesn't matter. Because he is not Krsna conscious, he is a third-class man, that's all. This is our certification. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Morning Walk Conversation -- September 28, 1972, Los Angeles ============== ys gnd So far going to the moon planet is concerned, don't be very much interested in moon travel. Better that you travel on this planet and serve Krishna. We don't care for such moon travel. Rather after this life we want to travel to Krishna. If even we go to Brahmaloka, the topmost planet, still we have to come down. So let the foolish waste their time in this way, while we will go directly to Krishna. >>> Ref.
