The intelligentsia..

Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada..

” What is that? Brāhmaṇa. Brāhmaṇa means the most intelligent class of men of the society. Philosophers, scientists, astronomers, so many, intelligent class. So in every society there is a class of men who are very intelligent than ordinary men “

In Vedic societies the intelligentsia ultimately watched over the governance and the governor’s and made sure they stayed on track .
A society based on Dualism and progressive paths of social and spiritual mobility..

Democracies had their place as did elements of autocracies.
The perfect balance was achieved..

The essential elements in Vedic societies…

Thus, also in Vedic culture the ladies are very much respected and listened to ..many examples are given in the Srimad Bhagavatam, they have hearts that are soft and sensitive , they are very intelligent in particular ways , and they create the essential elements in governance in societal affairs. .

We should try not to have differences with people ……and especially , of course , with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Although the Gaudia Vaisnava tattva states , as living beings , we are inconceivably and simultaneously one and different from Divinity, but in matters of love the oneness is accentuated and the differences simultaneously serve to fuel the beauty of the oneness in love .
But one thing is… such Gaudia Vaisnava tattva is spot on , neither overly emphasizing the oneness nor the difference .
