I have given this example many times in America, that if somebody wants to come to America, he has to secure the proper passport and visa. Otherwise, the immigration department will not allow him to enter. Similarly, if you want to go to a particular type of planet, higher planetary system, you must have the required passport and visa. Otherwise, how you can enter there?.

If you want very beautiful wife, then you worship Umā, and . . ." The recommendations are there. That is not false.

These are all Vedic recommendations. Because, if you want this, then . . . Bhagavad-gītā also, Kṛṣṇa says that yānti deva-vratā devān pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]]). "If you want to go to the heavenly planet, then you worship such-and-such demigod. If you want to go to the Pitṛlokas, then you worship such-and-such demigod." These are explained there. They are not false. They are facts. If you want . . .

Just like they are going . . . trying to go to the moon planet. So how to go to the moon planet, that process is described. You can, you can adopt that process and automatically, after your death, you'll be transferred to the moon planet. You don't require this artificial sputnik. No. Neither you can go there by the sputniks. It is not possible. You must be qualified to enter into a particular type of planet. You cannot go by force.

I have given this example many times in America, that if somebody wants to come to America, he has to secure the proper passport and visa. Otherwise, the immigration department will not allow him to enter. Similarly, if you want to go to a particular type of planet, higher planetary system, you must have the required passport and visa. Otherwise, how you can enter there? Therefore Kṛṣṇa says:

<div class="quote_verse">
:yānti deva-vratā devān
:pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ
:bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā
:mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām 
:([[Vanisource:BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]])
</div>

Kṛṣṇa never says that, "You do anything nonsense and you come to Me." Kṛṣṇa never says. If you . . . if you worship demigod, you'll be promoted to the planets of the demigods. If you want to . . . if you worship the Pitṛs, the śrāddha . . . (indistinct) . . . then you enter the Pitṛlokas. But one who is endeavoring in devotional service, yānti mad-yājinaḥ. Mad-yājinaḥ. Mad-yājī. Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī. Kṛṣṇa recommends, man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). And in another place He says, mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām ([[Vanisource:BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]]).
