DID MAN LAND ON THE MOON ? read complete short outline on this subject by HDGSP composed by Amit Acara dasa from all classes by HDGSP---- • first of all make sure that they have gone there, & then talk of these things.
• (do you think they’ve reached the moon?) No.
• they are going to some other planet, Rahu planet.
à
• the moon may not be exposed to these rascals or ordinary men (example- similarly a king isn’t exposed to an ordinary man unless they’re fit to see him). • they might have gone, but most probably they have not gone, maybe they went to Rahu or another planet. • they have not gone to the moon planet, their calculation is wrong; distances calculated to other planets, & for this universe. • the moon is farther away than the sun & the proof is: first Sunday, then Monday (Moonday)
• from common sense, why all over the world they accept Sunday first, & then Monday (moonday)
• the films of the moon landing & walking are all laboratory work.
• my conviction is that they went nowhere, but instead stayed in the laboratory.
• it is a fact that they didn’t go to the moon, that’s a fact.
• fools may believe that they went, but we cannot believe as we have other information.
• where they went is a dark planet, that is not our moon planet; moon rocks could be found in Arizona; simply all lab work. • the distances & calculations are all wrong, & therefore I say that they never went there. • moon dust can be had here, so what is the proof that they went?
• nobody landed on the moon, this is all bogus.
• they might have gone to some hell, that is, I have no objection.
• the rascals are making a proposal that the moon is full of dust, & it is so brilliant, & we have to believe this? • our challenges are that: they never went to the moon, & that the moon is beyond the sun. • they couldn’t go to the moon, & yet now they’re trying to go to other planets which are farther away (example- a man can’t catch a non-poisonous snake, and yet they’re now trying for a cobra).
• re: selling tickets to the moon: sastra declares that this is childish.
• it takes 6 or 7 months to go to the moon planet, & they went in 4 days? They have never gone. • going to the moon for only rocks & dust at such an expense indicates that it is a colossal hoax. • they haven’t gone, & cannot go to the moon, it is all false propaganda.
• their so-called scientific exploration is at the expense of the taxpayer (example- some frogs were sitting & some children were sitting & were throwing stones, & so the frogs said: why are you throwing stones at us?The children replied: no, we’re just playing. The frogs replied: so what is play for you is death for us.) Sothese scientists are playing & we’re bearing the heavy tax burden for so-called research. • scientists say it’s all dust, yet that dust is illuminating the entire universe, but the dust they brought doesn’t illuminate anything; they simply speculate & mislead people.
• (where did the astronauts go?) They’ll go to hell.
• but they did not go to the moon planet. • their (scientists, astronauts, etc.) business is in Arizona. The scientists said that the moon landscape resembled Arizona (example-a man in the process of stealing makes some noise, & the owner of the home asks: who’s there, whereupon the thief I’m not stealing).
• the moon landing is all a bluff.
• from sastra we understand that all planets are full of living entities, so how can God’s creation be vacant? • it is beyond their dream to go to the moon or Mars, it is not possible. Their asset is Arizona, that’s all. Actually the business was not done.
• all business is going on in Arizona; argument after argument that scientists won’t touch or can’t answer. • comment by Prabhupada re: how there can be a desert on the moon if it’s inhabited by pious inhabitants; material nature restricts when the people are nonsense (like the desert areas of this world). • moon’s atmosphere is like blazing fire covered by a cool atmosphere.
• on the moon there is fire, similar to the sun, but it is covered by ice, & therefore it is cooling. • scientists version of the moon (no life, no atmosphere, etc.) is all rascaldom. It may be good for rascals like you, but not for intelligent man like me.
• the moon planet is a desert, & from the desert such brilliant light is coming that it’s illuminating the whole universe at night? • from the beginning I have said it is childish, (as far back as 1958); discussion of why the 3 astronauts were killed, did they know of the hoax? • the whole planetary system is hanging downwards, & the moon is above the sun; they never went. • they are going nowhere, simply going to the lab for studio photos, and cheating.
• the moon planet is the source of vegetation all over the universe, & in his planet there is no vegetation? • they are going there (indicating Rahu).
• moon & sun calculations given w/ the conclusion that there was no trip to moon. • very cold; soma-rasa.
• according to our calculation they (astronauts) never went.
• to enter Africa there are many rules & regulations, & you want to go to the moon w/ no restriction, passport or visa, simply because you have a plane?
• (did they go to another planet other than the moon?) They might have gone to hell (ex.- in our childhood we were imagining, I have go tricycle so I shall go to Europe, the West, etc....). • the astronauts perhaps went to Rahu.
• planet is fiery, exactly like the sun, but the difference is that it is surrounded by a cool atmosphere. • on account of its illumination the vegetation in every planet is in a flourishing condition, & still we find a reaction from the moon on the waves of the seas & ocean • they’re not going, perhaps they’re going to some other planet.
• I don’t know which Candraloka these people are going.
• why Candraloka’s condemned that there’s no living entities there, only dust? You’re (the scientists) going, but previously nobody was there? It’s 200 degrees below zero there & the inhabitants require some heating beverage (soma-rasa); (it’s suggested that the inhabitants could divert those trying to gothere?) To some hellish place, yes.
• they never went, it’s a bogus propaganda.
• frankly speaking, I don’t believe they’ve gone, even if they have they’re landing in some part of the moon where it is uninhabited; they can’t go there, neither ever they went there; the moon planet expedition up to this date is a failure.
• they couldn’t approach the moon planet so they’re saying that the grapes are sour; you can believe in the scientists or the sastra, but we believe the sastra.
• there is also blazing fire surrounded by ice, & the rays are coming through the ice & it is so pleasing.
Prabhupäda: That question I was discussing the other day. In the common sense, question, that all over the world, they accept Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, in this way Saturday last. So why these arrangement, Sunday first and Monday second? And nobody could reply it. But as a layman I can conclude that sun planet is first and the moon planet is next. So if you cannot go to the sun planet, which is ninety-three million miles away, how you can go to the moon planet within four days? Nobody could answer me. Can you answer?
Reporter: Well, I don't think it's worth the answer now, but I'm wondering what your response is.
Prabhupäda: But this is the arrangement all over the world. Sunday first, Monday second, then Tuesday. So sun, moon, Mars, Jupiter, in this way. Last Saturn. This is the arrangement of the planets. So if this is the arrangement of the planets, moon-day moon next to sun, and if you cannot go to the sun, how can you go to the moon?
Reporter: Do you believe that astronauts landed somewhere?
Prabhupäda: That is next question. First of all, whether you actually went to the moon, that is the first question. You have to conclude that you did not, because the sun planet is first, the moon planet is second. You cannot go to the sun planet, ninety-three millions of miles, how can you go to the moon planet? According to our çästra, the moon planet is above the sun planet, and the distance is 1,600,000 miles. So accepting that the sun is 93,000,000 miles away, then you add another 1,600,000, almost 2,000,000, it becomes 15,000,000 miles away. So if you go at the speed of 18,000 miles per hour, it takes more than 6 months. So how you go there in 4 days? And you advertise in the paper: "Now they have reached," after 4 days.
Rämeçvara: They don't accept that the moon is further away.
Prabhupäda: They don't accept, that is another thing, but we have got this information. How we can accept it?Why this arrangement: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday? There is some system. The system is, just like first, second, third, fourth. So it is naturally concluded the moon planet is next to the sun planet.
Reporter: Do you feel that astronauts did land somewhere, but it was some other planet?
Prabhupäda: That may be. Or it may not be also. That is also, what is called, argumentative. Somebody says it is laboratory arrangement. Now, according to our Vedic scripture, moon is one of the heavenly planets.

Prabhupada: It is my firm conviction that they did not go to the moon. Neither they'll be able to go to the Mars as they have planned it.

Prabhupada: No, moon star is described in the Bhagavad-gita. It is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita. Moon is one of the stars, but brilliant star.

And if I ask you, "What is the measurement of the space?" you cannot say that.
You cannot say that. But there is measurement. It may be unlimited for you, but as it is a created thing, there must be measurement. Any created thing has measurement.
