Surya or Vivasvan, the celestial being of the sun, is the life, the very soul of our galaxy. There are countless galaxies where everything depends on a celestial being of the sun, just as God, the Supreme Personality, alone sustains the entire creation.

The sun is therefore not uninhabited, since beings live there, and its presiding deity is Vivasvan. The sun is distinguished from the earth in that it is composed of fire, and all its inhabitants possess appropriate bodies and can live there without the slightest difficulty.

Several million years ago, Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, taught the science of yoga [the practice of union, communion, and communication with Krishna. The set of practices that allow the pure soul to free itself from the shackles of matter. Meditation on God] to Vivasvan, the celestial being of the sun.

The Lord states: I gave this imperishable science, the science of yoga, to Vivasvan, the celestial being of the sun, and Vivasvan taught it to Manu, the father of humanity, and Manu taught it to Iksvaku.

Thus, the celestial being of the sun, Vivasvan, taught Manu the science that allows man to rediscover his relationship with God. In turn, Manu, the father of humanity, transmitted it to his son, Iksvaku, king of the earth and ancestor of the Raghu dynasty, the one in whose midst the Ramacandra Avatar appeared.

The teachings of the science of yoga and the science of God have been spread on Earth since ancient times, and given to the sovereign monarch of each of the planets that make up each galaxy.

This science is specifically intended to protect the peoples of the entire world, and the leaders of every country have a duty to study it and understand its profound meaning if they wish to govern the state perfectly and save their fellow citizens from the lust that binds them to matter.

The primary mission of man is to cultivate spiritual knowledge and regain his eternal relationship with Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. On every planet and in every nation, it is the responsibility of leaders to share this knowledge, this science of Krishna consciousness, with their fellow citizens by providing them with education and spiritual culture, as well as teaching them devotion, so that they all have the opportunity to lead a positive life and make the most of their human form.
