The materialist have their thesis, a world veiw . It is helped along by modern-day scientific communities , scientific materialism, and Darwinian hypothesis . It is taught and presented to the gullible public as fact based sciences from the time of childhood to ones grave , “cheating science,” says AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. “It’s a society of the cheaters and the cheated “.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada arrived in 1965 on the shores of the USA with the Vedic antithesis . Utalising the Devi Varna Ashram systems Prabhupada, under the direction of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , sought to bring a synthesis between the spiritual and material frontiers . In doing so, the goal is to harmonize. All the various interests and various cultures of the world can be enhanced bringing even more beauty within societies when the purpose of life is understood and it is centred on Krishna consciousness either in peripheral ways or with deeper understanding of the cor values of spirituality.
East meets West Prabhupada would say , and the Vedas has the systematic processes and purificatory methods to balance peoples lives between the spiritual and material . Primarily in this age, it is inacted by the introduction of the chanting the Holy names of God in everyone’s lives . With this process , some sanity can be developed , and the process of Sankya yoga and buddhi yoga will begin . The benefits can arise in anyones heart, as trancendental intelligence begins to properly discriminate between matter and spirit, allowing a following of the objective sciences that clearly point to intelligent design, that empowers us to see God in everyone and everything .
It’s not so easy to present an antithesis to a current dogmatic thesis consisting of shadows and deceit brought about by the leading materialists’ global world . Many adaptations in the Vedic process are required , and adjustments to previously established ways will need to be found without losing the Vedic essence. The Vedic intelligentsia are meant for that purpose.
Srila Prabhupada was one such expert at the art of presenting the Vedic antithesis to the materialist’s thesis who present a flawed and speculative world veiw . Prabhupada sought a synthesis and indeed adapted Vedic cultures within the modern age. He also expected his disciples to follow suit with a high degree of intelligence and Vedic learning . That comes from inspiration given directly by Krishna , He gives intelligence to those who wish to serve Him sincerely under the direction and guidance of the previous acaryas , all of whom have written extensively
Even when Lord Krishna was present 5000 years ago, Krishna adapted to circumstances, as did Mahāprabhu . When Ashvathama killed the children of Draupadi , devotees including Arjuna and Yudhisthira wanted Ashvathama killed , and even Krishna thought it best . However, He adjusted to time and circumstances because of Draupadi’s desire and worked a compromise. The listening to the good sentiments of a high-class lady Krishna thought important .
“An example of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s adaptation of Vedic culture for the Kali Yuga is his emphasis on the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra as the primary form of worship, replacing the complex, external Vedic rituals like large-scale sacrifices. He taught that the sankirtan movement, or congregational chanting, was accessible to all people, regardless of their caste, creed, or social standing, making spiritual practice attainable for everyone in this age.”
Adaptions of Sastric injunctions require the best of the intelligentsia . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada showed that example.
Srila Prabhupada because of his deep loving services to his Guru Maharaja was able to instill that same commitment into the hearts of many intelligent young men and women , they had many skills in their own right taught to them by Western educational systems and those skills were turned against the very material society that taught them so an antithesis could be intelligently presented , quickly Krishna consciousness spread to many many people , like father like son .
