EASY JOURNEY TO OTHER PLANETS 17
planets in the universe inhabited by beings endowed with
reasons.”

This statement of the Russian astronomer is but the latest

confirmation of the statement of the ‘Brahma Samhiia’. In the
‘Brahma Samhita’ the description is summarised as follows :—
‘Yasya ¢rahba prabhavata jagadaada koti kotisu vasadadi vibhuti
bhinnam tad brahma nisklaama annata ashesabhuiam govindam
adi purusham tam aham bhajami.”
_ According to ‘Brahma Samhita’ as mentioned above there
is not only Infinite number of planets as confirmed by the
Russian astronomer but there is an infinite number of uni-
verses also. And all these infinite number of universes with
their infinite number of planets within, are floating on and
are produced of the Brahma effulgence emanaing from the
transcendental body of Govinda (Lord Sri Krishna) the Prime-
val Lord who is worshipped by Srahma the presiding deity ef
the Universe where we are residing.

The Russian astronomer confirms also that all the planets,
which are estimated to be not less than approximately 100,000,000
planets, are inhabitated. And in the ‘Brahma Samhita’ it is said
that in each and every one of the infinite number of universes,
there are infinite number of variegated planets.

The astronomer’s view was seconded by professor Vladimir
Alpatov, a biologist. According to him, some of the above
mentioned planets had reached a state of development corres-
ponding to that of earth.

The report adds also as follows :—-

“Tt could be that life similar to that in earth, flourished on
such planets.”

“Doctor of chemistry Nikolat Zhirov covering the problem
of atmosphere on other planets, pointed out that the organisms
of a Maritian, for instance could very well adapt itself to normal
existence with a low body temperature.”

“He said that he felt that the gaseous composition of
Maritian atmosphere was quite suitable to sustain life of beings
which have become adapted to it.” a:
