A question on Geeta
This is a question for those who are knowledgeable in Indian scriptures.
Consider the two slokas from Geeta given below:
1. Aadityaanaamaham vishnumrjyotishaam raviramsumaan |
Mariichirmarutaamasmi nakshatraanaamaham sasii ||
Trans: Of the Aadityas I am Vishnu, of lights I am the radiant sun,
of the Maruts, I am Marichi, and I am the moon among the stars.
2. Gaamaavisya cha bhuutaani dhaarayaamyahamoojasaa |
Pushnaami choushadhiih sarvaah soomoo bhuutvaa rasaatmakah ||
Trans: I enter into each planet and by my energy they stay in orbit.
I become the moon and thereby supply the juice of life to all vegetables.
In both the above slokas the two statements relating to the moon appear
to be scientifically incorrect.
1. I am the moon among stars: We all know that moon is not a star.
2. Moon supplying juice of life to vegetables: We also know that in
the case of most vegetables, sun supplies more "juice of life".
How can Lord Krshna state incorrectly? Can anyone clarify this issue?
Thank you.
Ravi
