Imported quote 15901 Another point is that when one is situated... Narada, after this life, he became situated in his spiritual life. In the spiritual life, therefore, he was able to go anywhere. Narada is traveling all over the universe-not only within this material world, in the spiritual world also. He goes to see Narayana in the spiritual world. [aside:] This boy is sleeping. You can... You go back side. Those who will sleep can go back side. So this is one point, that in spiritual life one is free to move. There is no requisition of this aeroplane or... Even in this material world, those who are very highly elevated, that is called... They live in the Siddhaloka. There is a... That is described in the Second Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, Siddhaloka. Now, Siddhaloka, the inhabitants of the Siddhaloka, they don't require any plane. They can go... Because siddha means the inhabitants in that planet, they are all perfect in asta-siddhi-yoga. By yogic perfection, one can travel in the space. Just like Durvasa Muni: he traveled in the space. When there was chasing by the Sudarsana-cakra, he, by yogic power, he fled from one place to another, one place... He even entered the spiritual nature and saw Visnu personally. Still he was condemned. The Sudarsana-cakra was after him, chasing. He tried to insult Ambarisa Maharaja, Vaisnava. So... He wanted to kill. Not only insult, but he wanted to kill him. A demon was immediately produced by his hair. The yogis can do that. Anima... Anima, laghima, prapti-siddhi... Whatever they like. Immediately he brought one demon. So... But Vaisnava, Maharaja Ambarisa, he was neither yogi nor he could display any yogic perfection. But he was protected by Krsna, by the Sudarsana-cakra.

Is it a question of the receptivity of different planets?'' We can see one sun only. So it is simply speculation whether there is one or more suns. But we get from authority of Sastra that there is one sun, in each universe, and the stars and moon reflects the light of this sun. There is one sun in the daytime, and it illuminates so nicely that all darkness is gone. But at night, you may argue, if these stars are so many suns, then why the darkness is still there??
(More...) It is understood that in each universe there is only one sun, which supplies light to all the planets. By the force of the pregnancy of Diti, the light of the sun and moon was impaired in all the planets, and the demigods of various planets, being so disturbed by that force, asked the creator of the universe, Brahma, "What is this expansion of darkness in all directions?"
(More...) It appears from this verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam that the sun is the source of light in all the planets in the universe. The modern scientific theory which states that there are many suns in each universe is not supported by this verse. It is understood that there is only one sun in each universe which supplies light to all the planets. In Bhagavad-gita the moon is also stated to be one of the stars. There are many stars, and when we see them glittering at night we can understand that they are reflectors of light; just as moonlight is the reflection of sunlight, similarly other planets also reflect sunlight, and there are many other planets which cannot be seen by our naked eyes. The demoniac influence of the sons in the womb of Diti expanded darkness throughout the universe.
