Srila Prabhupada On Mayapur

13/7/76 NEW YORK – MORNING WALK Puñöa Kåñëa : In our Planetarium, Çréla Prabhupäda, we want to actually show the different qualities of life on the dif- ferent planetary systems also? Prabhupäda: Yes, as far as possible. 2/7/77 VÅNDÄVANA – BHÜMAËÒALA DIAGRAM DISCUSSION Tamäla Kåñëa:. .. Your descriptions, especially this Planetarium, will at first meet with a lot of heavy reaction. It is not going to be embraced immediately very favorably. It means that everyone who calls himself a Ph.D. is a fool, that students will laugh at their teachers, if what we say is correct. There will be chaos in educational circles. (Prabh- upäda chuckles) Prabhupäda: All right. 21/1/76 MÄYÄPUR – A TRANSCENDEN- TAL DIARY VOL. 1 As we walked this morning, Prabhu päda discussed plans for the new temple and the proposed exhibitions it’s to house. It will be a cultural cen-

ter as well as temple. His idea is to have displays depicting various levels of material existence. The exhibition is to begin on the lower levels by depicting hellish regions and lower planetary systems. As the visitor ascends the inte- rior of the dome by escalator, various levels of material existence will be re- vealed, gradually rising to the abodes of the demigods, then Satyaloka, and the Vaikuëöha planets. At the very top will be a dazzling display of Kåñëa’s own transcendental planet, Goloka Våndävana.
