Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionThe Lord Sends a Spiritual Airplane
“O immortal one, this unique airplane has been sent by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is worshiped by selected prayers and who is the chief of all living entities. You are quite worthy to board such a plane.”
What the purport teaches
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead personally sent the unique airplane for Dhruva Mahārāja. His associates assured Dhruva that he was worthy to board it.
- The Vaikuṇṭha airplane was completely spiritual and transcendental. It did not depend on mechanical arrangements or even the subtle material process of traveling at the speed of mind.
- Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this destination can be reached only by Vaiṣṇavas. Material science cannot perceive such spiritual vehicles or explain how they travel.
