1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: They could not answer this simple question, why Sunday first and Monday second? They could not understand, these rascals, I have asked so many. Can you answer this? Can you answer, can any of you, why Sunday first? All over the world, they accept Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday last. Why? Answer this. Is there anyone? Hṛdayānanda: What is the answer, Prabhupāda? Prabhupāda: The answer is sun planet first, then moon planet. Devotees: Oh, jaya! Prabhupāda: And the sun planet is ninety-three million miles, and according to Bhāgavata, the moon is 1,600,000 miles away from sun. So I have calculated the other day that it takes ninety days to go. No? Hari-śauri: No, six or seven months. Prabhupāda: Six or seven months it takes to go to the moon planet. How they have gone in four days? They have never gone. Devotees: Oh, jaya!

Prabhupāda: Scientists or philosophers, their only business is to defy God. All demons.

Bali-mardana: Actually, Prabhupāda, the people are turning away from the scientists now, because they have seen that their promises have not brought anything.

Prabhupāda: And simply, if we can expose that they never went to the moon planet, their life will be finished.

Devotees: Jaya. Haribol!

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How can we expose that, Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: To expose . . . they could not answer this simple question, why Sunday first and Monday second? They could not understand, these rascals, I have asked so many. Can you answer this? Can you answer, can any of you, why Sunday first? All over the world, they accept Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday last. Why? Answer this. Is there anyone?

Hṛdayānanda: What is the answer, Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: The answer is sun planet first, then moon planet.

Devotees: Oh, jaya!

Prabhupāda: And the sun planet is ninety-three million miles, and according to Bhāgavata, the moon is 1,600,000 miles away from sun. So I have calculated the other day that it takes ninety days to go. No?

Hari-śauri: No, six or seven months.

Devotees: Oh, jaya!

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How did you get that calculation, Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How did you make that calculation?

Prabhupāda: Calculation, they have calculation that sun planet is ninety-three million miles from. That is, they have accepted. I also accept it. I say the moon planet is 1,600,000 miles still further. So you cannot go to the sun planet, how can go to the moon planet?

Devotees: Jaya.

Candanācārya: Today is the day of scandals. These days, there are so many scandals in the United States.

Prabhupāda: Ask them. If they say moon planet is first, why not Monday first? Why Sunday first? That's a fact. Sun planet first, then moon, then Mars. Ravi, Soma, Maṅgala, Bhū. That is the calculation.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That means that all the countries are cooperating together to cheat the people, because they're all . . .

Prabhupāda: No, no. They have taken from the Vedic literature.

Bali-mardana: No, they are right, Sunday, Monday.

Prabhupāda: Yes.
