From the Eighth Canto, Twenty-second Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,
entitled “Bali Mahārāja Surrenders His Life.” Text 32

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said:
TRANSLATION
Until Bali Mahārāja achieves the position of King of heaven, he shall live on the planet Sutala, which was made by Viśvakarmā according to My order. Because it is especially protected by Me, it is free from mental and bodily miseries, fatigue, dizziness, defeat and all other disturbances. Bali Mahārāja, you may now go live there peacefully.
PURPORT
Viśvakarmā is the engineer or architect for the palatial buildings in the heavenly planets. Therefore, since he was engaged to construct the residential quarters of Bali Mahārāja, the buildings and palaces on the planet Sutala must at least equal those on the heavenly planets. A further advantage of this place designed for Bali Mahārāja was that he would not be disturbed by any outward calamity. Moreover, he would not be disturbed by mental or bodily miseries. These are all extraordinary features of the planet Sutala, where Bali Mahārāja would live.
In the Vedic literatures we find descriptions of many different planets where there are many, many palaces, hundreds and thousands of times better than those of which we have experience on this planet earth. When we speak of palaces, this naturally includes the idea of great cities and towns. Unfortunately, when modern scientists try to explore other planets they see nothing but rocks and sand. Of course, they may go on their frivolous excursions, but the students of the Vedic literature will never believe them or give them any credit for exploring other planets.
Pamho agtacbsp, first of all surrender to SRI KRSNA IS NOT SO EASY AS IT LOOK BUT THAT GREAT MOMENT IS STORED IN OUR KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS JOURNEY THROUGH THE TIME FACTOR. BECAUSE GREAT MOMENT TO HAPPEN TAKE HIS OWN TIME BUT IF WE KEEP GOING IN KC IT WILL HAPPEN AND PRACTICE MAKE EVERYTHING PERFECT ESPECIALLY IN KC PRACTICE MAKE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR WHEN THE PRACTICE IS DONE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS OF A PURE DEVOTEE THE SURRENDER DAY WILL COME FOR EVERYONE IT IS A QUESTION OF TIME TO BE USE IN KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS OTHERWISE THAT DAY NEVER COME BY USING THE TIME FOR MAYA SUKAYA. WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH WITH THE RIGHT GURU THEREFORE OUR SURRENDER IS NOT FAKE LIKE THE F-ISKCON SO CALLED DEVOTEES AGTACBSP YS HARIBOL
