I guess you better learn to spell before you put questions like that. Just a suggestion so that people will take you seriously in the future. There is a difference between puranic and jotish system, so here you go.

It's not a question, it's opinion. Let everyone judge for himself how qualified one.

Upaveda means material science associated with a particular veda, such as grammar, jyotish, aurveda, stapatisastra. You must be fool to think that an acarya should be conversant with aurveda? What is he doctor or something? As foolish as to suggest that just because in jyotish it is called graha it is not one of the stars in the puranic view. However if you examine this statement of the purport by Srila Prabhupada you will understand that any luminary can be called star (from puranic perspective) and at the same time be called a graha or a planet: "The superintendance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the moon, the sun and other big planets they are moving". Besides as veda has pointed out, you seem unable to grammatically compose your sentences to form a question. I suggest you must be still in a 5th or 6th grade in this case or have a poor educational background, certainly not enough to challenge or even to comprehend properly it seems. Take care.

Drutakarma Prabhu speaking about the topic of suns and stars a few weeks ago in Los Angeles discussed the point that we have to listen to all the statements of Srila Prabhupada on such subjects and see them as a whole.

For example it is stated.

"It appears from this verse that the moon is one of the stars; therefore the stars that twinkle in the sky also reflect the light of the sun. The theory that there are many suns within the universe is not accepted by Vedic literature. The sun is one, and as by the reflection of the sun the moon illuminates, so also do the stars. Since Bhagavad-gītā indicates herein that the moon is one of the stars, the twinkling stars are not suns but are similar to the moon."

however it is also stated

"Srimad Bhagavatam 5.20.13 Purport
From the descriptions in this verse, we can make an educated guess about the nature of the flames on the moon. Like the sun, the moon must also be full of flames because without flames there cannot be illumination. The flames on the moon, however, unlike those on the sun, must be mild and pleasing. This is our conviction. The modern theory that the moon is full of dust is not accepted in the verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam. In regard to this verse, Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says, susaspani sukomala-sikhas tesam rocisa: the kusa grass illuminates all directions, but its flames are very mild and pleasing. This gives some idea of the flames existing on the moon."

and

" Śrī Brahma-saḿhitā 5.52

yac-cakṣur eṣa savitā sakala-grahāṇāḿ
rājā samasta-sura-mūrtir aśeṣa-tejāḥ
yasyājñayā bhramati sambhṛta-kāla-cakro
govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi
SYNONYMS

yat — of whom; cakṣuḥ — the eye; eṣaḥ — the; savitā — sun; sakala-grahāṇām — of all the planets; rājā — the king; samasta-sura — of all the demigods; mūrtiḥ — the image; aśeṣa-tejāḥ — full of infinite effulgence; yasya — of whom; ājñayā — by the order; bhramati — performs his journey; sambhṛta — complete; kāla-cakraḥ — the wheel of time; govindam — Govinda; ādi-puruṣam — the original person; tam — Him; aham — I; bhajāmi — worship.
TRANSLATION

The sun who is the king of all the planets, full of infinite effulgence, the image of the good soul, is as the eye of this world. I adore the primeval Lord Govinda in pursuance of whose order the sun performs his journey mounting the wheel of time."




His conclusion is was, "like a fleet a ships, all may be similar in body, but there is one command ship, raja samasta, from whom others derive their power, so similar, there is one Raja Samasta sun and other illuminaries derive their power from him."

he also mentioned:
And where does the sun gets its power? from Krishna

Is there any innate power in a light bulb, but due to being connect to the electrical current of the house it has the ability to produce light."

>this proves prabhupad hs no knowledge of jyothis shastra

This proves you are an offender at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada and you should be permanently removed from this forum

>CGYOOMH
If you continue making "questions" to prove your points you will be removed. You also breached the etiquette of insulting a vaishnava acarya and that is not allowed in this forum. Please refrain or your account will be terminated.

portnoy:

According to Sly and the Family Stone "Everybody is a Star"

What a brilliant way to spend one's time ... to go through the teachings of a saintly personality who selflessly brought enlightenment, happiness, hope and joy to so many .. and in a public internet forum announce that you have found proof of his ignorance. I can't even imagine the heart and mind of such a person. It's frightening to know that such people exist.

All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada!

One who is equal to friends and enemies, who is equipoised in honor and dishonor, heat and cold, happiness and distress, fame and infamy, who is always free from contaminating association, always silent and satisfied with anything, who doesn't care for any residence, who is fixed in knowledge and who is engaged in devotional service — such a person is very dear to Me. :( :( :(

CGYOOMH:

offender so u can blindly believe whatever prabhupad says without reason and with refering to other scriptures

Refrain from offensive statements about Srila Prabhupada or you will be removed.

deena -- Very nice that you are so liberal and broad minded. As for myself -- it's not what he asked but how he asked it. Actually he didn't really even ask a question. If anything it was a rhetorical question, the gist of which was to proclaim Srila Prabhupada as being ignorant. Ignorant of what or why or when or how is secondary. There was no slip of the tongue (or keyboard) going on and it's not just a matter of bad form. Why the knee jerk reaction to defend? Because it was obvious that there was an offense made which merited a quick and passionate defense. Why should this person's question be taken seriously when asked in such an offensive manner. Let him understand and realize that his words tore into the hearts of those who feel a deep love, respect and gratitude for His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada and unless and until he shows some genuine remorse I personally have no use for his question about Jyotirsastra or Peter Pan or the Man in the Moon Star. This website isn't a forum to have discussions about what Prabhupada knew or didn't know --- it's to answer questions based on the teachings of Srila Prabhupada which are accepted as transcendental to the four defects of the conditioned soul. In that way the environment is perhaps dogmatic because in all discussions, questions and answers Prabhupada is accepted as the ultimate authority. If one wants to question the validity of his authority on any subject or in general -- there are other websites for that such as Gaudiya Repercussions.

If somebody enters into my home and right off the bat makes some derogatory statement about or suggests some negative connotation toward one of my family members --- they immediately become an unwanted guest and they will be removed quickly

this is not even a question and it will be deleted if not further arguments. As for CGYOOMH, either he comes with the spirit of pariprashnena as clearly stated in our forum rules or there is no point on having him here.
