Hare Krsna,

Pamho! AgtSP! AgtSG&G!

Srila Prabhupada often said that the astronauts have never actually

visited the moon. But the search through the VedaBase reveals these

two letters:

 

-QUOTE-

1)

Letter to: Charles Gold — Bhuvanesvara, 29 January, 1977

 

"Although they spend billions of dollars of the public's money for

ventures like going to the moon and collecting dust there, they cannot

solve the basic miserable conditions of birth, death, old age and

disease."

 

2)

1977 Corespondence, September

 

"Even it is true that they have landed on the moon, so what is their

accomplishment? If I come to Earth planet and land in the Sahara

desert, then I say, "Oh, this planet is a barren desert, no one lives

here?" The moon may be like that or like this, so what does that help

to our Krsna consciousness movement. We have nothing to do with moon

planet or this planet and that planet in Krsna consciousness. We

simply want to serve to Krsna, that's all."

 

-END QUOTE-

 

So I am very curious to ask is it maybe an editing error or mistake in

second letter, 'Even IF it is true that they have landed on the

moon...' and in first letter, is it something like in the sense of

Rahu or in the context allegory that _they have not landed on the

moon_ or SP means they have landed?

 

I am actually interesting if it is possible to obtain the copy of that

original manuscript or verification issue? I am very very thankful in

advance.

 

PS. Please do not send me reply with this 'We have nothing to do with

moon planet or this planet and that planet in Krsna consciousness. We

simply want to serve to Krsna, that's all' as I know it. Thank you.
