Aliens 1. - Spaceships there are in every planet

 

Nalinī-kaṇṭa: They say that they can see planets trillions of miles away.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Nalinī-kaṇṭa: They say that they can see stars trillions of miles away.

Prabhupāda: But they cannot go. That's a fact. According to their estimation, the moon is the nearest. So they cannot go there. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. (break) . . . deva-vratā devān (BG 9.25). Moon is one of the heavenly planets. So unless one is very advanced in karma-kāṇḍa, offering sacrifices, nobody can go there. It is not so easy. Ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthāḥ (BG 14.18). Those who are more and more higher status of goodness, they are promoted in the highest planet. Not by drinking wine and driving a sputnik one can . . . (laughter) It is not so easy. (break) . . .also drink soma-rasa. The residents of the moon, they live for ten thousand years.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Ten thousand of their years.

Prabhupāda: Yes, deva.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And their years are equal to six months . . .

Prabhupāda: Six months equal to one day. Such ten thousand years.

Kṛṣṇadāsa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, another field of study that Wernher Von Braun is considering is unidentified flying objects. Now, this previously was not acknowledged by scientists, but he recently stated that when they have sent rockets into outer space they filmed objects that there's no explanation for. They think that they're spaceships from other planets.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that's . . . There is Siddhaloka—without any aeroplane they can go from one planet. They are so perfect.

Kṛṣṇadāsa: So these, what they think are spaceships, perhaps are demigods?

Prabhupāda: Spaceships there are in every planet.

Kṛṣṇadāsa: On every planet.

Prabhupāda: But there is a planet, the residents of that planet, they can go without any spaceship. Siddhaloka.

Rādhā-vallabha: Scientists have done another test where they think . . . The scientists are doing tests where their opinion is that from certain acids life is coming. So they think that this can only happen . . .

Prabhupāda: Asses?

Rādhā-vallabha: Acids, nucleic acids. So their opinion is that this can only occur in an atmosphere of methane. So they have understood from their telescopes that Jupiter has methane in its atmosphere, so therefore they say, "Very soon Jupiter will have life."

Prabhupāda: Very soon? Not now? They have got advance. Yes. (chuckles) Most of the scientists, they think only living beings are on this planet, and all, they are vacant. They say.

Kṛṣṇadāsa: Yes. They say the closest planet that could have life is four light years away. That means the fastest . . .

Prabhupāda: How there is life within this sand? We can see.

Kṛṣṇadāsa: They do not believe.

Prabhupāda: No, there is no life within the sand?

Kṛṣṇadāsa: In the sun.

Prabhupāda: No, no, in the sand. You'll find so many lives, many millions. How there is life in the water? There is life in the water, there is life on the land, there is life in the air, so where is there no life? How you can say there is no life? That is foolishness. And they say that the dust brought from the moon planet is the same. It can be found here. So why there should not be life?

Kṛṣṇadāsa: If there is life on other planets, then they assume it's in a plant form or very, very low, like plants, bushes at the most.

Prabhupāda: That is their opinion.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? If these scientists, they landed on the Rāhu planet, that means that . . .

Prabhupāda: That could be, but some . . . Just like somebody was saying that there are many planets unknown. They might have gone to some . . . Just like there are many parts of the world you have never seen. Even on this planet, you cannot say that you have seen all the parts of the world. That is not possible. (break)

Kṛṣṇadāsa: As far as these unidentified flying objects that Wernher Von Braun was recently mentioning, he says that previously they've had many sightings. They've seen these and filmed these, but they're afraid to release them, or the government is afraid to acknowledge them, because they're afraid it would cause a panic amongst the world.

Prabhupāda: What is that panic?

Kṛṣṇadāsa: A panic that everyone would be frightened with the fact that there is people from other planets.

Prabhupāda: And they are not frightened? Without this knowledge they are not frightened, as if they are safe. (laughter) Are they safe without that knowledge? They are frightened of your atomic bomb. Who is not frightened? Who is that rascal who is not frightened? Is there any person who is not frightened?

Kṛṣṇadāsa: A fool.

Prabhupāda: Fool is also frightened when there is stick. Everyone is frightened. That is the one of the conditions of material life. As eating is one of the items, similarly frightening is also. And the more one is godless, he is more frightened.

Kṛṣṇadāsa: There is this question about these, again, UFOs—they call them UFO—whether or not they are aggressive or if they will bring us more knowledge than what we have. So there's this fear, uncertainty. (break)

Prabhupāda: . . . sataḥ syāt. This frightfulness is due to unawareness of God. The more one is unaware of God, he is more frightened. One who is fully conscious of God, he is not frightened, because he knows, "Everything is God. Why shall I afraid?"
