All Glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga! Aug. 10, 2002 Krishna Era

5229

 

Dear Ekanath Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

1) I was just speaking with Puskara Prabhu (our Godbrother) about the Bhu

Mandala discussions which took place with Srila Prabhupada. Puskara was

personally there and he says that the "Indian Man" mentioned in that

discussion (see below) was actually the same Bhakti-Prema who is mentioned

in the other discussions.

 

A note for future editions.

 

2) You may have corrected this on later versions but on my folio version it

says:

 

The distance from the sun to the earth is lower planetary systems called

Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Mahatala, Rasatala and Patala. >>> Ref.

VedaBase => SB 5.23.9

 

The correct statement from the Bhagavatam is:

 

The distance from the sun to the earth is 100,000 yojanas, and below the

earth by 70,000 yojanas are the seven lower planetry systems called Atala,

Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Mahatala, Rasatala and Patala.

 

An important adjustment.

 

Hoping this finds you in the best of health.

Your servant,

Danavir Goswami

 

 

Indian man: So the universe is round, and from bottom of the Garbhodaka

ocean to top of Satyaloka there is four billion miles. Then the again, from

east to west again is another four billion miles. Because Bhu-mandala is

situated in between the earth.

Prabhupada: Explain. He'll explain.

Yasodanandana: (background talking)

Indian man: (background talking)

Tamala Krsna: And that is salt water ocean, behind it.

Yasodanandana: Salt water ocean goes all around.

Indian man: All around.
