<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- March 18, 1976, Mayapura|Morning Walk -- March 18, 1976, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Satsvarūpa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, are the planets shaped liked balls or more like plates? Because it's, it's hard to understand, 'cause they're called dvīpas, "islands." Their roundness is the roundness of a plate or like a ball?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Which one?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: The earth planet?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If it is like a tree, then these things can be as dvīpa, island.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Wow. You know...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The scientists are getting smashed to bits by your statements, Śrīla Prabhupāda. This destroys their whole theory. Orbs, round spheres. I think that this Māyāpur building, we must build a big planetarium in it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That, that I am going to do, Vedic planetarium.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, boy. You're going to bring a lot of.... A lot of scientists will come here just to dispute this.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Wonderful attraction.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: World people will come to see the way the planetary systems...</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We should advertise it very widely that this is the actual, factual explanation of the universe.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This will be automatically advertised. As soon as the temple is finished, people will come like anything.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: They're going to need somebody to...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The thing is, on principle, we shall only go against them.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Contrary.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: On principle. Whatever they say "Yes," we say "No." (laughter)</p>
