The being who takes refuge in Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is completely protected from all other influences. He does not have to serve anyone else and is not obliged to anyone else.

Certainly, he will not be rebellious towards anyone, but all the power of his thought will be absorbed in the service of the Lord. The Sovereign Lord says that it is under His guidance that the wind blows, the fire burns and the Sun produces heat. It is out of fear of the Supreme Lord that the celestial beings of the Wind and the Sun act. Agni the celestial being of fire, Indra the celestial being of rain and king of heavens, and Mrtyu the celestial being of death, also act under His guidance.

Verily, whoever lives only for the satisfaction of the Lord is a celestial being.

Fourteen companions of Vivasvan, the celestial being of the sun, regulate the even distribution of snow, heat and rain throughout the galaxy.

So, it is with all the galaxies in the material universe.

All living beings, the inhabitants of the Edenic, paradisiacal planets, human beings, animals, and plants, depend on the heat and light diffused by the celestial being of the sun from its planet. Also, it is because of the presence of the sun that all living beings can see, which is why it is also called the sovereign lord “master of sight”.

It is Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, who gives the sun, the king of all the stars, its immense power and intense heat. The sun is the eye of the Lord, and if it rotates in its orbit, it is in response to the order given to it by Krishna. The sun is the king of all the stars, for it gives them all heat and light.

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

The sun is therefore not uninhabited, since beings live in it, and the master deity is Vivasvan. The sun differs from the earth in that it is composed of fire, and all its inhabitants have a suitable body and can live there without any difficulty.

Many millions of years ago, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person taught the science of yoga [Practice of union, communion and communication with Krishna. A set of practices that enable the pure soul to free itself from the chains of matter. Meditation on God] to Vivasvan, the celestial being of the sun.
