Life Throughout the Universe

Ganesha Dasa : Prabhupada decided that he liked the beach better than the parks, so every day we took him to a beach, where we walked up and down the road next to the sand. Prabhupada talked about how man had not gone to the moon. He pointed to some big sand dunes where there were small flowers growing and an occasional lizard scurrying underneath those flowers.

Prabhupada said that life could exist even in sand. He said, "They say they've been to the moon and it's full of dust and sand, but here we have experience that life can exist in sand. Therefore we must say that they've not been to the moon, because there must be some life form there. Even if one lives in the desert, he can survive by growing watermelons and potatoes in sand. There's life throughout the universe, and in every condition there are living entities."
