Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: Our another challenge is they have never gone to moon planet. (laughs) Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh, that's a problem now, Śrīla Prabhupāda. (laughter) See, sometimes when we give lectures . . . Some time ago we gave in Gainesville. We were talking about life and matter. Then some people came, and they said . . . they asked that question about the moon thing. So we said we were working on it. And . . . Prabhupāda: Another my challenge is that moon is beyond the sun. First planet is sun, and then moon. So if the sun is 93,000,000 miles and moon is above the sun 1,600,000, then how they can go to the moon planet in four days? It requires seven and a half months. That is my challenge.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: And our mathematician is very good. Also he had some good artistic ideas. He told me that he started some arts.

Prabhupāda: So he's a mathematician and another physist, and you are chemist. So complete science. The pure science is mathematics, physics and chemistry. So our three Ph.D.'s, they are combination of pure science. Nobody can defeat. Mathematics is there, physics is there, chemistry is there. And my sentiment is this, (laughs) I challenge them, "No. Life from life, not matter." So perhaps I challenged first—or anybody—that life from life, not from matter?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda did it.

Gargamuni: I think we should make maybe a few plates just like they have shown the scientists, but a few plates of yourself with some quotations challenging these men.

Prabhupāda: Our another challenge is they have never gone to moon planet. (laughs)

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh, that's a problem now, Śrīla Prabhupāda. (laughter) See, sometimes when we give lectures . . . Some time ago we gave in Gainesville. We were talking about life and matter. Then some people came, and they said . . . they asked that question about the moon thing. So we said we were working on it. And . . .

Prabhupāda: Another my challenge is that moon is beyond the sun. First planet is sun, and then moon. So if the sun is 93,000,000 miles and moon is above the sun 1,600,000, then how they can go to the moon planet in four days? It requires seven and a half months. That is my challenge.

Gargamuni: You mention also that "Sunday, Monday."

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Gargamuni: Sunday is first. It is the sun. Then Moonday, moon.

Prabhupāda: That is all over the world, Sunday first, Monday second. Ravi, Soma.
