many other universes also

First of all there are many millions of universes, jagad-anḍa-koti. Koti means unlimited. Or 100,000 times 100,000. So yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anḍa-koti-kotisu [Bs 5.40]. And each universe... Kotisu asesa-vasudhadi. Vasudha means planet. Just like this is one planet. Asesa. Asesa means you cannot count. So many. That's a fact. You are seeing every day. Asesa-vasudhadi-vibhūti. And each planet has got different climate, different varieties, not that every planet is of the same. Now they are studying that the moon planet is also planet, but it is differently situated. Differently situated, as they are studying, that is different from the sastras, but there is difference from this planet to that planet. These modern scientists, they say that there is no life, and there cannot be any living entity, considering the atmosphere. But from the sastra we know in the moon planet, that is one of the heavenly planets, and there are living entities, they are living for ten thousand years. And it is very cold there; therefore they drink soma-rasa. And some of the scientists, they say that the temperature in the moon planet is 200 degrees below zero. So similarly, you will find every planet is different from the atmospheric condition of the other planet. Just like sun planet. It is so fiery. It is full of fire, agni. The temperature is so high that..., ninety thousand or twenty millions miles?    (More...)

"My dear Arjuna, how long I shall describe you about My opulence? I summarize it that this material world is only one-fourth manifestation of My opulence." Ekamsena sthito jagat. This material world means... You have... We have got experience about this universe up to the sky, as far as we can see, the horizon. This is one universe. And there are millions of universes like this. That is stated in the Brahma-samhita, that yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anḍa-koti-kotisv asesa-vasudhadi-vibhūti-bhinnam [Bs 5.40].    (More...)

So this material world... Material world means so many planets you see-so many stars and planets: the sun planet, moon planet and loka, sarva-loka-mahesvaram [Bg 5.29]. This is one universe, and there are millions of universes. Altogether that is material world, and that is one part of creation. Ekamsena sthito jagat [Bg 10.42]. The jagat means this material world. So the whole material, ananta koti. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anḍa-koti-kotisv asesa vasudhadi vibhūti-bhinnam [Bs 5.40]. This ananta-koti-brahmanḍa is only one-fourth manifestation of God's creation, and just imagine what is the other three-fourth. That is spiritual world.    (More...)

So there are innumerable, numberless universes. We cannot account for one universe even. We do not know how many planets and stars are there. When we are very much advanced in scientific knowledge, we are trying to go to the moon planet after spending millions and trillions of dollars. But still we could not fix up anything in the moon planet. That is the nearest planet. And what to speak of other planets. There are innumerable planets. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagadanḍa-koti-kotisv asesa-vasudhadi vibhūti-bhinnam [Bs 5.40]. So these are the explanation.    (More...)

Idam krtsnam jagat: "All the material manifestation." Material manifestation means these material universes. They are many. This universe, what we see, one only, the sky, the covering, but there are many millions of universes. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anḍa-koti [Bs 5.40]. Koti means millions. Jagad-anḍa. Jagad-anḍa means universes. So Krsna says that "All these universes in the material world is display of My one-fourth energy." Just imagine what is Krsna's energy. Ekamsena sthito jagat. And we are trying to imitate Krsna. So many rascals, they declare they are Bhagavan. They do not know what is Bhagavan. Bhagavan... These universes are coming, innumerable universes are coming, from the breathing of Maha-Visnu.    (More...)
