“Our Advice is that take, revive your original, permanent Life, eternal Life”

Prabhupada, Chicago, July 7, 1975: […] So moon planet is not vacant. That is counted amongst the heavenly planets. If anyone can go there, he can live there for ten thousands of years. Ten thousand of years means according to the demigods’ years. Their duration and our duration is: our one day, our six months, their one day. That is admitted by scientists that you go higher, the relative time is different. Just like when the Russians first of all sent that sputnik, in one hour, twenty-five minutes, they surrounded all over the world. Now it is relative. You have got a speedy vehicle. So generally, the 25,000 miles, this earth, it takes long, long time, even you go by aeroplane. But when you have got a better machine, it is finished within one hour, twenty-five minutes. So as you go higher, higher, the time duration becomes different. This is called relativity. We hear from the Bhagavad-gita the duration of life of Brahma, sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmano viduh [Bg. 8.17]. Our some millions of years is equal to twelve hours of Brahma.

So in this way, if you like to go to the other, higher planetary system, there is system, how to go there. As we have got system here in this world… If anyone wants to come to America, he has to arrange for visa and passport and so many things. Without going through the system, you cannot enter by force. So these foolish people are thinking that “There is no living entity. It is lying vacant, and by force, we can go there.” And after spending millions of dollars, we come back with some dust, that’s all. (laughter) And become proud that we have gone to moon planet. So the Vedic sastra does not say so. But you can go there. You can live there, a higher standard of comfortable life, higher duration of life. Yanti deva-vrata devan [Bg. 9.25]. You can go there. But anywhere you go within this material world, either the moon planet or sun planet or Brahmaloka, Krsna says, abrahma-bhuvanal lokah punar avartino ’rjuna [Bg. 8.16]. Even if you go to the Brahmaloka, that is also not permanent settlement. After many, many years, you have to come… Ksine punye punah martya-lokam visanti. When your resultant action of pious life will be finished, you will come back again.

So our Krsna consciousness movement is that why we shall accept this material body, which is limited? Maybe one hundred years or one thousand years or one hundred second or millions of… The our advice is that take, revive your original, permanent life, eternal life, and go back to home, back to Godhead. That is our program.
