According to astronomical calculations. Therefore we, we follow the astrology according to the constellation. The child born, everything has connection, the constellation of the star has influence on the child. So therefore the horoscope-maker takes the calculation of the constellation and then calculate what is his future.

Prabhupāda: Because their folly is . . . they therefore do not take authority. Otherwise they'll be exposed. Yes. Śāstra-cakṣusā. Yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya vartate kāma-kārataḥ (BG 16.23). These are the injunction. (dog barks) Yes, come on. We have got your punishment. So there is an argument: pala bonatu haya. "I'm not afraid of you. Although I'm . . . I'm going away, I'm not afraid of you. (laughter) Don't think that I am afraid of you." This is dog business. They'll go, "Gow!" and go away, go away. They'll not come forward. Come on. (laughter)

(break) Well, our every day is a New Year. Nava-nava-ayuman. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness is so nice, the more you advance, you see new year, new year. That's all. Nothing is old. People are seeing that, "They are simply chanting the old slogan, Hare Kṛṣṇa."

Devotee: Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: But we are feeling new pleasure in every moment. Take any other chanting, you cannot chant more than few hours. But the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra we can chant perpetually. So unless there is new enlightenment, how we can do that? (break) You can preach here, and then we are starting on the . . . by the fourteenth. We shall go together to India. Is that all right? What do you think?

Karandhara: Are you bringing your boys over there?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Gurukṛpā: They're going separate.

Karandhara: Oh.

Gurukṛpā: If we go the other way it's cheaper.

Prabhupāda: Which way?

Karandhara: Through New York. (break)

Prabhupāda: I cannot go there. You see? As if three hundred miles away. (break)

Gurukṛpā: We saw from the plane.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Gurukṛpā: When we came on the plane from Miami we saw the comet.

Yaśodānandana: It was there for forty-five minutes.

Prabhupāda: Yes, a bad sign . . .

Yaśodānandana: As big as the sky.

Prabhupāda: How big?

Yaśodānandana: Big as the sky. It was flashing for forty-five minutes, this big . . .

Gurukṛpā: Flashing in horizontal directions.

Devotee: The four or five first flashes were very, very big, and regularly every thirty seconds it was big flash, bigger than lightning, brighter, very bright.

Gurukṛpā: Very brilliant.

Prabhupāda: One part like this?

Gurukṛpā: Yes, very fast.

Devotee: Across the sky, shoooot, shoooot, shoooot. Very fast.

Gurukṛpā: About forty-five min . . . we . . . it was still going, but the plane passed it and it stayed behind.

Prabhupāda: Uh, so this is bad sign. Constellation. According to astronomical calculations. Therefore we, we follow the astrology according to the constellation. The child born, everything has connection, the constellation of the star has influence on the child. So therefore the horoscope-maker takes the calculation of the constellation and then calculate what is his future. This dhūmaketu is described in Daśāvatāra-stotra, dhūmaketum iva kim api karālam (Daśāvatāra Stotra 10). Dhūmaketum iva. Dhūmaketum iva kim api karālam. As soon as there is comet, there will be some disaster, very great disaster. In our childhood we saw the comet. Not this like; that was small comet. Still, the first world war was there declared. That we have seen in 1914.

Nara-nārāyaṇa: Halley's Comet.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Nara-nārāyaṇa: I think they called it Halley's Comet. Halley's Comet.

Prabhupāda: Now the . . . you can expect at any moment disaster in this material world, but the comet is the sign that there will be some great disaster. It is . . . this material world, in every step there is disaster. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām (SB 10.14.58). But those who are taken shelter of Kṛṣṇa, the disaster is not meant for them. Samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavam padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām. So how big it is?

Gurukṛpā: Very big.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Gurukṛpā: It was very spectacular. Something like twenty miles, at least.

Prabhupāda: Twenty miles?

Yaśodānandana: Maybe at least fifty, sixty miles the four, five first flashes, very big. Let's see. From this tree all the way to the end of this tennis court, all over the sky. Big white flashings. Like big, huge incredible lightning. Then afterwards it decreased, and then regularly, every thirty, forty-five seconds, there was big lightning. Not lightning, big flashes. Very uncommon.
