Easy Journey to Other Planets
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaThis is quite natural because, in his original state, the living being is both eternal and joyful.
However, in the present conditioned state of life, he is engaged in a struggle against recurring
birth and death. Therefore he has attained neither happiness nor immortality.
The latest desire man has developed is the desire to travel to other planets. This is also
quite natural, because he has the constitutional right to go to any part of the material or
spiritual skies. Such travel is very tempting and exciting because these skies are full of
unlimited globes of varying qualities, and they are occupied by all types of living entities. The
desire to travel there can be fulfilled by the process of yoga, which serves as a means by which
one can transfer himself to whatever planet he likes-possibly to planets where life is not only
eternal and blissful, but where there are multiple varieties of enjoyable energies. Anyone who
can attain the freedom of the spiritual planets need never return to this miserable land of birth,
old age, disease and death.
One can attain this stage of perfection very easily by his individual effort. He can simply
follow, in his own home, the prescribed method of bhakti-yoga. This method, under proper
guidance, is simple and enjoyable. An attempt is made herein to give information to the people
in general, and to philosophers and religionists in particular, as to how one can transfer oneself
to other planets by this process of bhakti-yoga-the highest of all yogic processes.
