What are your views on extraterrestrial life? Take the poll and let us know! Very Happy

I dont see why there cannot be life on other planets. But I also cannot see why they should be primitive man-eaters or super advanced. Nor do I understand why they should be either grey men or little green men. They most likely are no diff than us..

ok ok so I was the one who voted "I am an alien"

But I agree with PD, life on other planets may not necessarily be "little green" men, super advance or primitive.
If they were super advanced, then perhaps they would have made contact with us, or perhaps they did and we're not aware. Area 51 anyone? Very Happy

Area 51... Other than it being a prohibited place what exactly is in support of being some alien thing? I prefer the other 'supersonic aircraft' explanation.. But america seriously was retard to say in the 60's to say the crashed object was a UFO one day and weather balloon the next day!

I agree with PD, there could be life on other planets. Theres not much evidence to base this on but it is possible

Shishya · Posted: Sun Oct 29, 2006 9:27 pm Post subject:

Namaste,

I think there is life on other planets. It might be in a different form, but I think it is statistically impossible for the rest of the universe to be devoid of life. Besides, it would be an incredible waste of space. Laughing

Here's what Swamiji had to say on the subject:

Prabhat · Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 1:59 am Post subject:

namaste all,

i want proof.
and what i read

"Swamiji: Most likely there is some difference in their form and the like, just as you see some difference in form, countenance, appearance and complexion among people of different countries as the Ethiopeans, Chinese, the Indians and the Europeans. But the creation of the same class or species on this earth and other planets is identical. The class or species that has its sense organs (such as eyes) in some definite place in the body here (on this planet) will have them in the same place on other planets. For it is said in the Veda:

Most likely, what dos that means.

Namaste Prabhat,

'Most likely' is roughly "zeer waarschijnlijk" in Dutch.

Namaste Prabhat,

It's more in the sense of 'there is a high probability'. ("Eine hohe Warhsheinlichkeit" in German.) But no, there is no 100% certainty.

Namaste Shis,

So why did the swami said something like that?

Namaste Prabhat,

I think because Swamiji didn't travel to other planets and see them for himself! Laughing

But seriously, he's simply saying that the differences we see here are probably translatable to the differences that exist between life here and on other planets. Perhaps not exactly, but more or less.

Namaste,

I believe, that there are other life forms in this universe, as I believe, there is a God.

They may not look like us, or act the way we do. Their evolution may be influenced quite differently, depending on the geological make-up of their respective habitats.

Namaste,

Namaste,

Like Shish said, the Vedas are Universally bound, and not just limited to Earth.

Lol!. When we say 'Krinvanto Vishwam Aaryam' - 'Making the Universe Noble' - we literally mean, the entire Universe. Wink

Namaste Prabhat,

Literally, vishvam means 'all this'. It can be interpreted to mean 'world' or 'universe'. In fact, however, it really means 'everything'.

Namaste,

comming back on Swami answer
Question: Are the same Vedas revealed in the other worlds as in this?

Swamiji: Yes. Just as the policy of a king is the same in all the countries under his rule, so is the Vedic system of Government of the King of kings (God) the same in all the worlds over which He rules.

dont you think he maby talking abouth the "worlds" in our minds.

i am just curious. this one topic i like Cool

Namaste Prabhat,

I'm pretty sure Swamiji was referring to planets in the common sense of the word. Refer back to my earlier post for the full context. Wink

Namaste Prabhat,

Well, if you say God exists, some people will laugh at you too. Wink

There are many respected scientists who believe there is life out there, waiting to be discovered. So, you wouldn't be alone...
