I'm not so sure what to say. Some have a funny idea on what means "to

know". No offence at all. If someone is illiterate does it means he is

covered by maya (whatever kind)?

 

Please confirm what you mean by "to know". I'm sorry.

 

Do you think to know means to fully understand every possible

explanation? Or to be able to illustrate a point to every egghead on the

planet? Or does it mean to know the difference between the true

siddhanta and false theory?

 

I will try to explain it on that basis.

 

I would like ask you to share your knowledge, please, it seems to me

that you know some facts and numbers very well:

 

Consider the 3 quotes from Prabhupada:

 

1 Prabhupada wrote:

"asura's decapitated head chasing after Candraloka is explained

allegorically"

(Letter 72-11-07)

 

2 He also said to Swarupa damodara:

"For example, when the Rahu planet passes before the sun and moon, there

is an eclipse. But the scientists describe an eclipse differently.

Actually, the Rahu planet causes an eclipse. "

 

 

3 Srimad Bhagavatam 4.29.69:

Krsna consciousness means constantly associating with the Supreme

Personality of Godhead ****in such a mental state that the devotee can

observe the cosmic manifestation exactly as the Supreme Personality of

Godhead does****. Such observation is not always possible, but it

becomes manifest exactly like the dark planet known as Rahu, which is

observed in the presence of the full moon.

 

Could you please share your thoughts on some statements *below* using

say different perspectives or models (surya

siddhanta/puranic/bhagavatam/modern phisics):

 

Rahu is a planet (loka)

 

Rahu is a graha not a planet but is called planet sometimes

 

Rahu is both graha planet and living entity

 

Rahu demon/Chandra pastime to be taken allegorically or both

allegorically, factually, astrologically and should be confirmed by

modern science (ie senses and extended senses).

Thank you very much Madhu Gopal Prabhuji. I appreciate you time and

ability.
