Prabhupada: So this the our... We should seek the shelter of the lotus feet of guru. Then everything... And vede gaya yahhara carita. It is not that it is sentiment that one has to become very staunch devotee of guru. Therefore Narottama dasa Thakura, vede gaya yahhara carita. Not that I am talking something nonsense. It is because... Sruti-pramanam. Whatever we talk, it must be supported by Vedic injunction. Then it is right. Just like we sometimes challenge these big, big scientists and others, and what is our strength? I am not a scientist, but how I can challenge? The vede gaya: we have got evidence from the Vedas. Just like so many people are thinking that the moon planet is first. We are challenging, "No, moon planet is second." What is the strength? The strength is Vedic knowledge. We cannot accept it. So vede gaya yahhara carita. Vedic knowledge is so perfect that you can challenge so many scientists. If it is not in accordance to the Vedic knowledge, then it is... We do not accept. If it is not to the Krsna's instruction, we reject immediately. Na mam duskrtino mūḍhaḥ prapadyante naradhamaḥ [Bg 7.15].    (More...)

Tamala Krsna: Juice? They're just making it, Srila Prabhupada. It says here that "The moon is in the eighth house, which is very bad. The patient may not recover." Then he gives various planets which are also not well aligned. He says hospitals... He says the conjunction of another two planets is very bad. "Hospitalization and ill health are intensified in the present year. The days which are not good is when the moon passes in the 22nd to the 23rd of naksatra, which are 27th to the 28th of September," that's already passed, "the 24th to the 25th of October, then some days in November and December." He says, "Sūrya will apply for Rahu on Saturday, the 8th of October." That's today. This is very bad, this day. Today is Ekadasi. "Sūrya will apply for Rahu. Brashna, Lagnesh, Mangal, in the eighth house. The medicine will not cure..., will not give any relief. The native will make a fight for life as Sūrya-Mangal are good friends, and Saturn, or Sani, and Sukra are enemies. There is no benefics in the nine, six, eleven and three. Mangal indicates the effects of Sakini. There is difficulty in recovery. The seventh dasa starts on the 13th of January, 1978." It says, "We have noticed that the periods are all negative until March-April 1978, and main trouble was due to Sani. We have suggested that blue sapphire be tried, and he should keep it on. Hospitalization and travels are indicated." [background discussion while Brahmananda checks calendar] Then he says the worst days of all for you are today and tomorrow. He says it is very negative, as well as the 11th, which is mixed. But these are all very inauspicious days. The 4th of October, the 5th of October, the 8th and 9th of October, and the 11th of October. He says, "The only remedy in this case is to do maha-mrtyum-jaya japa and havana. Previously also, now also, we have recommended Siva. Lord Siva is the presiding deity of Sani, and with this, the native will be able to overcome disease and life span increases."    (More...)

Prabhupada: No, no. Eclipse is different, not according to their theory. That planet is called Rahu.    (More...)

Revatinandana: So Rahu covers sometimes the sun and sometimes the moon?    (More...)

Bahulasva: This Rahu planet's invisible? We cannot see this with our eyes?    (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes. Why you believe your eyes so much? [laughter] Nonsense eyes.    (More...)
