Prabhupāda: Where is the moisture? It is clear sky. Where is the moisture? (break) (laughter) It is not fire. It is a brilliant body. It is not fire. (break)
Satsvarūpa: . . . body of Vivasvān?
Prabhupāda: Whole planet, I mean the population, they're so bright.
Satsvarūpa: Sometimes in your lectures you explain the living entities can live there because they have bodies of fire.
Prabhupāda: Fiery, not fire.
Gurudāsa: Fiery.
Prabhupāda: Because there is heat and brightness, therefore they can say fire. Just like, what is called, diamond. Diamond looks like bright, like this. But that is not fire. Diamond, real diamond, you keep in dark room, it will be light. But that is not fire.
Devotee: Effulgent.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Bright. Brightness. (break)
Devotee: What are the stars?
Prabhupāda: Stars? They are planets like this planet—like moon planet, the moon planet. Nakṣatrāṇām ahaṁ śaśī (BG 10.21). The stars, they are so many moons, not suns. They say sun, and we say: "No, it is moon." Sun is only one. In each universe there is one sun, but there are many planets like moons.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Reflection.
Prabhupāda: Reflection. We get it from Bhagavad-gītā. Nakṣatrāṇām ahaṁ śaśī. (break) . . . it is due to the sun, reflected.
Gurudāsa: Why is it that the moon reflects? They say the moon is sandy, but this sand here is not reflecting.
Prabhupāda: That . . . they are not going to the moon planet. They are going to some other planet, Rāhu planet.
