Exchanges of cultures and surprising results .

We could say that inadvertently the British coming to India contributed to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtana movement . The British  introduced Western sciences , technologies, and educational systems that brought knowledge of the worlds cultures and scientific thinking as well as philosophically driven opinion of Western cultures centred around theological thoughts and scientific materialism.  The British were, of course, well travelled in their drive to increase businesses. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and practically all over the world, they had contacts. The new order needed understanding. Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and his leading disciples including Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Srila BR Sridhar Swami were well educated in British led educational system’s and colleges, Prabhupada had great respect for his professors who he described as kind gentleman. Those who were political leaders were the ruthless ones , influences of businessman were deeply imbeded into so-called democracies, and they take profit at any cost , including cutting the thumbs of weavers in the cotton trade .
With education and communications of Western thinking it was been easy for our acaryas to bring Vedic Culures to the West , and transpose it into Western cultures and actually in todays world the Vedic sciences are becoming highly respected, both Niels Bohr and Erwin Schrödinger studied aspects of the Vedas dealing with consciousness.
The many possibilities of quantum physics tell of a responsive universe, the universe the Vedas defines. ….

More on this and how Divinity accomplishes many things by one action , sometimes favouring devotees sometimes Demons , as the Srimad Bhagavatam tells..

Freewill and determinism need facilities in many creative ways are inacted , God is the supremely creative person and simultaneously giving leeway and freedoms to all , at least the impression of freedoms , that fools the entire  world,  He is the supremely trickiest person as well
