Prabhupada: Take one room in the gurukula building.
Tamala Krsna: It will be very interesting. They can use this for teaching.
Prabhupada: Yes. Explain there in bold and this picture.
Tamala Krsna: Yeah, explanation next to it. This book is the explanation.
Prabhupada: Hmm.
Tamala Krsna: It's amazing how Krsna has made each universe. It's just like all the fruits. When you get a fruit, it's protected by a skin. This universe is very much protected, first by uninhabited land, then by huge mountain, then by golden land. And then only in the center of these dvipas there are all the inhabitants and all the activities are going on. Very much protected.
Prabhupada: And they are going to the moon. (devotees laugh) I... So far I remember, the moon is also like the sun, that it is fire blazing, but it is surrounded by a cool atmosphere. Therefore it is soothing. I think there is such description.
Bhakti-prema: Srimad-Bhagavatam says the moon is also (indistinct).
Tamala Krsna: How far do they, the scientists, say the moon is from the earth? How long? I have a book which says it, and I'm bringing this book. It's very... You'll see it here. It's nonsense.
Bhakti-prema: Twenty-four lakhs miles.
Tamala Krsna: Twenty-four lakhs miles, the scientists say?
Bhakti-prema: No.
Tamala Krsna: What do the scientists say? How...?
Prabhupada: Two lakhs.
Tamala Krsna: Two lakhs miles, 250,000 miles. So that means about, in yojanas, very little - about 25-, 30,000 yojanas.
Yasoda-nandana: They say the sun is 93,000,000 away.
Bhakti-prema: I think the business of the (indistinct).
Tamala Krsna: They have froglike brains.
Prabhupada: That, the microscope... What is called? Telescope.
Tamala Krsna: This is the book of the rascal scientists. They describe the solar system according to their nonsense. The solar system... Gives all the calculations. They calculated how much it weighs on each planet. (laughs) They haven't even been there. They say that each planet has moons. Says here - this is how scientific they are - "Pluto was discovered only in 1930, and as yet, little is known about this remote planet. Pluto is much smaller than Neptune and has a diameter probably about..."
Prabhupada: "Probably."
Tamala Krsna: "...half the size."
Prabhupada: "Probably."
Tamala Krsna: "The orbit of Pluto is extremely elliptical, and the day is some 6,109 hours long. There is probably no atmosphere, and there are no known moons."
Prabhupada: "Probably." Their science is "probably." Probably it is science; otherwise it is nonsense. (laughter)
