Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

The whole planetary system is moving.
Morning Walk -- March 18, 1976, Mayapura:

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: Hm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Is the earth also spinning?

Prabhupāda: No.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Or is it simply the sun's movements that causes the day and night, everything?

Prabhupāda: No planet is fixed except the sun. All are fixed up. But the whole thing is moving. That is Bhāgavatam. And that you can see at night.

Gurudāsa: What'd he say?

Pañca-draviḍa: No planet is fixed. The earth and sun, they're all moving.

Gurudāsa: The sun is fixed.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, but they're all moving.

Hari-śauri: But they're all moving.

Prabhupāda: It is like a tree, just like this. This is moving, and the sun is moving, and all other planets, they are fixed.

Hari-śauri: How is it we see the moon coming in every day, then?

Prabhupāda: Hm?

Hari-śauri: How is it that we see the moon moving?

Prabhupāda: Moon, that is..., of course, I do not remember, but (laughs) the whole planetary system is moving.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And the sun is fixed, but the whole, it's also moving.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Sun is also moving.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Everything is revolving around that polestar?

Prabhupāda: Hm.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.

Jayapatākā: Everything is moving around the sun, and the sun is moving around the polestar.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: No. Everything is not moving around the sun.

Hari-śauri: Like that tree, if the tree revolves by itself, like that, then the sun(?) is going around the whole thing.

Prabhupāda: This is also another intelligent.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Yes.

Hari-śauri: The tree is just moving like that, and the different branches, they remain in the same position in relationship to the center of the tree.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: But the sun has it's own...

Hari-śauri: But the sun has an orbit around the whole thing...

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It's own course.

Hari-śauri: So the whole universe moves around. Every twenty-four hours it does one rotation. And then the sun is also round all that.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Every twenty-four hours?

Prabhupāda: The moon.

Gurudāsa: Acintya-bhedābheda-tattva.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Gurudāsa: It seems to be one and different simultaneously.

Prabhupāda: No, no, not like that point. (laughs)
