Theme Analysis
In the modern age, human beings attempt the grand feat of approaching planets through mechanical space travel. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that such endeavors are inherently flawed due to our imperfect senses and the restrictive modes of material nature. One cannot forcefully approach the higher planetary systems using electronic or mechanical power; access is strictly granted based on one's karmic qualifications and adherence to Vedic injunctions. Furthermore, Śrīla Prabhupāda points out that even if one successfully travels to the highest material planet, Brahmāloka, the fundamental miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease still exist.
A prominent theme in this category is the contrast between clumsy mechanical travel and the perfected mystic travel of great sages. Exalted personalities like Nārada Muni and Vasiṣṭhadeva can effortlessly approach any planet within unlimited space without the aid of machines. Ultimately, Śrīla Prabhupāda redirects our focus from the temporary material universe to the eternal spiritual sky. The highest goal of human civilization is not to conquer the moon or the sun, but to approach the supreme spiritual planets, such as Kṛṣṇaloka (Goloka Vṛndāvana). By practicing pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the living entity can permanently escape material inconveniences and attain eternal life in the association of the Supreme Lord.
- The Illusion of Mechanical Travel: Because our senses are imperfect and our bodies are conditioned by the lower modes of nature, we cannot forcefully approach other planets using mechanical spacecraft.
- Miseries of the Higher Planets: Even if one ascends to the highest material planet (Brahmāloka), one cannot escape the universal laws of birth, death, old age, and disease.
- Vedic Space Travel: Elevation to higher planets is legitimately achieved through prescribed Vedic duties, and perfected yogīs can travel anywhere instantly by their spiritual power.
- The Ultimate Destination: The true objective of human life is approaching the spiritual planets, specifically Kṛṣṇaloka, where material suffering does not exist.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Approaching Planets in the Material and Spiritual Skies.
Pages in category "Approaching Planets"
The following 19 pages are in this category, out of 19 total.
A
- A human being has imperfect senses. So how can he teach perfect knowledge? Suppose you see the sun as a disc. You have no means to approach the sun
- Anyone who wants to approach the Supreme of all the Personalities of Godhead, on the Krsnaloka planet in the spiritual sky, and be intimately connected with the SP, Krsna, must take this formula, as is stated by the Supreme Himself. BG 1972 purports
- As one cannot approach the heavenly planets simply by the strength of his arms (for who can touch the heavenly planets with his hands?), one cannot imitate the wonderful activities of Maharaja Bharata. No one could perform such activities in the past
I
- In the material sky, even if we approach the highest planet (Brahmaloka), we will find the same conditions of life, namely birth, death, disease and old age. BG 1972 Introduction
- In the North and South Poles of this planet there are sometimes no divisions of day and night; similarly, when the sunlight does not approach the different planets within the universe, there is no distinction between day and night
- It is not even possible to approach the sun very closely with these bodies. However, from the Vedic literatures we can understand that the sun is a planet just like this one but that everything there is composed of fire
T
- The highest planet of this universe is called Brahmaloka. And Lord Krsna says, - Even if you approach the highest planet, you have to come back again
- The moon planet, of course, is the nearest planet, but even we approach the highest planet, which is called Brahmaloka, there also we have the same miseries of material life
- The present population is more or less influenced by the modes of passion and ignorance, and the symptoms for such influence are exhibited in their becoming very lusty and greedy. Such degraded fellows can hardly approach the higher planetary systems
- They (human being) are trying now to approach distant planetary systems by electronic mechanical power. But the highest goal of human civilization is to work hard under the guidance of the Lord (Krsna) and become completely dependent on Him
W
- We should not stress pious activities, economic development and sense gratification, but should concern ourselves with approaching Lord Visnu in His spiritual planets, of which the topmost is Goloka Vrndavana, where Lord Krsna lives
- What to speak of other planets, you cannot approach even the moon planet, which is the nearest. So just try to understand how much incapable you are
Y
- Yanti deva-vrata devan: those who are attached to the demigods and who perform the prescribed duties can approach the abodes of the demigods. In this way, one can go to the planet of the Pitas, or forefathers
- You are seeing the sun planet, that's a fact, but that does not mean you know what is actually the sun planet is, because you have no access to approach there. You may speculate, that's all
- You cannot approach even sun. The scientists say even from so many millions of miles away, if a planet or somebody goes near the sun, immediately he will be burned into ashes
