Text 35] Dhruva Maharaja Goes Back to Godhead 527
being covered; dadrse—could see; kusumaih—by flowers; kramasah—one
after another; grahan—all the planets of the solar system.

TRANSLATION

While Dhruva Maharaja was passing through space, he gradually saw all
the planets of the solar system, and on the path he saw all the demigods in
their airplanes showering flowers upon him like rain.

PURPORT

There is a Vedic version, yasmin vijfidte sarvam evam vijiidtam bhavanti,
which means that by knowing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, every-
thing becomes known to the devotee. Similarly, by going to the planet of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one can know all the other planetary
systems on the path to Vaikuntha. We should remember that Dhruva
Maharaja’s body was different from our bodies. While boarding the
Vaikuntha airplane, his body changed to a completely spiritual golden hue.
No one can surpass the higher planets in a material body, but when one
gets a spiritual body he can travel not only to the higher planetary system
of this material world, but he can go even to the still higher planetary
system known as Vaikunthaloka. {t is well known that Narada Muni travels
everywhere, both in the spiritual and material worlds.

It should be noted also that while Suniti was going to Vaikunthaloka
she also changed her body into spiritual form. Like Sri Suniti, every mo-
ther should train her child to become a devotee like Dhruva Maharaja.
Suniti instructed her son, even at the age of five years, to be unattached to
worldly affairs and to go to the forest to search out the Supreme Lord. She
never desired that her son remain at home comfortably without ever under-
taking austerities and penances to achieve the favor of the Supreme Person-
ality of Godhead. Every mother, like Suniti, must take care of her son and
train him to become a brahmacari from the age of five years and to under-
go austerities and penances for spiritual realization. The benefit will be
that if her son becomes a strong devotee like Dhruva, certainly not only
will he be transferred back home, back to Godhead, but she will also be
transferred with him to the spiritual world,even though she may be unable
to undergo austerities and penances in executing devotional service.
