Prabhupāda: . . . of the mind of God. And it is delivered. False mind is delivered.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: You made the statement in your purport that the moon is giving life to the vegetation on this planet. So how it can be a desert?

Prabhupāda: That I have just said. They cannot talk about moon. That means they did not go. That is now clear. (break) . . . has answered my question why Monday first, er, yes, Sunday first and Saturday last? All over the world, in India also, Sunday, er, Monday first . . . no. Sunday first, Monday second. Ask your scientist friend why this arrangement, Sunday first, Monday second, Saturday last? (break) We have concluded that it will take seven months to reach the moon planet at the speed of eighteen thousand miles per hour. But they're going in four days. (laughter) Just see how bluffing.

Hari-śauri: But they don't calculate the moon to be so far away.

Prabhupāda: That is their foolishness.

Hari-śauri: We did that calculation on the basis of 95,000,000 miles, which is about 2,000,000 miles from what the distance we get from the Bhāgavatam, combined with 93,000,000 miles . . .

Prabhupāda: But they accept ninety-three miles. Sun is ninety-three miles away.

Hari-śauri: But we don't say that.

Prabhupāda: No, no. We say also.

Hari-śauri: What? 93,000,000?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Hari-śauri: Oh.

Prabhupāda: Four billion is the . . . what is called?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Diameter of the universe.

Prabhupāda: Diameter of the universe. Sun is almost in the middle.

Hari-śauri: So what is that distance that is given in the Bhāgavatam, then? It says 100,000 yojanas.

Prabhupāda: One hundred thousand . . . Moon that is far away from the sun, 1,600,000. (break) . . . came from fire in the sea, varuvāgni. You know there is sometimes fire in the sea?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: In what way? Volcano? Like that?

Prabhupāda: Volcano eruption. Is there any technical term? Varuvāgni. (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Hari-śauri: You mean like when there's an eruption from below? Say, when an island's formed, or . . .

Prabhupāda: In Sanskrit it is called varuvāgni, fire in the water.
