Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada once said disagreement and different ways of thinking are a sign of personlism . Providing we have an intelligentsia amongst the theological cultures , who really are theological , good sense and tollerant behaviour should prevail . The Srimad Bhagavatam mentions natural divisions amongst societies , via mountain ranges , oceans, and Rivers , they naturally separate different societies , each developing according to particular psychological factors , and each person born into such societies not by chance but by design . In a global world, circumstances have changed , and the colliding of cultures and lifestyles seems to bring arguments and exploitation, along with wars and killings . But Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , the great Gaudia Vaisnava acarya , indicates that the modern world and facilities it offers are God’s arrangements and must be used to assist in Mahāprabhu’s greater unifying purposes stemming from the Sankirtana movements. Hinduism can be seen to be a good example of a diverse society living under the relativity peaceful umbrella of Hinduism and with very little violence over hundreds of years . …Religions according to one’s modes of nature, should be considered and accepted. Demigod worship, or Sankaracarya impersonal philosophy ,as well as worship of God Himself in his different incarnations , are all accepted in Indian society and all similarly tolerated. Even the Hindu , Muslim, and Christians people lived very well together before the British created, for political reasons, i.e. divide and rule , and this caused political agitation and violence. That is the business of demons , they create disunity amongst peoples, and the demons want to destroy established cultures and replace them with scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis or unrecognisable theologies , changed from its original messaging.
The essence of Vedic socio-political systems is that Politicians need controlling . In democratic systems, the main foolishness is that a country hands its whole destination over to persons who are in 99.9% of the time completely clueless about leadership or where they should lead . That’s what is meant by fools voting in fools . Such unthinking persons who are elected to power always hand the reigns of the country effectively over to businessmen who fund and lobby political parties. The Darwinian world of survival of the fittest takes on other connotations, in the form of trickle down economics, which is an excuse for global conglomerates and financial institutions to , in reality, impose centralised control of the banking world that enable global monopolies to gain more and more control of national and internationa businesses on every level . The Vedic localised economies are based not solely on out and out consumerism where anything goes , but rather essential services and the provision of goods within a localised free market economy. You should know your Baker, your farmer, and your fruit and vegetable suppliers. When scientific dualism and culture of consciousness are given priorities, consumerism adjusts accordingly, and in such a world, businessmen take 3rd spot , over them are administering bodies who are solely advised and guided by the real intelligensia..
The Srimad Bhagavatam have the accounts of many great kings who were cooperative with the intelligentsia and administered the businessmen, the king protected workers and society as a whole including the animal kingdoms and life everywhere. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The blogsite The Vedic Spectator looks at the parallels between quantum physics and the classical world of physics . It examines the quantum world and its connection to an ethereal subtle mind within the responsive universe , a universe that is also directly connected to the spiritual kingdoms
The blog The Vedic Spectator bridges classical physics, quantum mechanics, and ancient metaphysics. It posits that reality is not merely a collection of isolated, physical objects, but rather an interconnected, multi-dimensional conscious experience where the material world reflects spiritual kingdoms.The blog’s core themes highlight a continuous dialogue between ancient wisdom and modern theoretical frameworks: The Illusion of Matter: Just as quantum physics shows that seemingly solid matter is actually a fluctuating field of energy and probabilities, Vedic philosophy describes the everyday material world as Maya (an illusory manifestation of underlying cosmic energy). The Role of the Observer: The quantum “observer effect” demonstrates that the act of measuring subatomic particles changes their state. The blog parallels this with the Vedic view that consciousness (the observer) is the fundamental force driving creThe Entangled Universe: Phenomena such as quantum non-locality and entanglement mirror the Vedic concept of universal wholeness (often referred to as Brahman or Indra’s Net), where all points in the universe are deeply interconnected. Etheric Mind and Multiverse: Expanding beyond classical physics, the site explores how the ethereal subtle mind interfaces directly with a responsive cosmos, encompassing higher-dimensional, multidimensional spiritual realms. To read specific essays and explorations of these concepts, visit The Vedic Spectator.Review specific articles from The Vedic Spectator if you share an article title or topic.Unpack how specific quantum phenomena (like entanglement) relate to specific Vedic texts like the Upanishads or Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam .Compare these philosophical views with historical physicists like Erwin Schrödinger or Niels Bohr.
Consciousness means personality, the two can never be separated, and the personality is exhibited in conditioned consciousness within the 8,400,000 species of life or in its original purity within higher realms . Dust on a mirror prevents a natural reciprocation of light , so a clean is required . Similarly the cleansing of the heart by association with Divinity by deep meditations , deep prayer or calling His trancendental names , is a cleaning process of the heart and mind , it reveals our pure personalities, free from the shackles of a personality contaminated by lust , anger , greed ,envy , and the madness and illusions that are associated with selfish consciousness. This materialism is the dust of material existence , and it began from a time that can not be calculated. The Vedic Culures explore very deeply the phycologically contaminated personality , as well as how it is to obtain freedoms from conditioned nature, which causes the spiritually inclined to become materially inclined . Each personality and soul is unique in their own right , as its thought scientificlly snowdrops are , which is inconceivable in its own right . Divinity accompanies the individual personalities as the supersoul in conditioned life he is the enabler . However , when we become liberated from matter, Krishna reciprocates individually with each personality in a direct and personal way . Love means loving relationships and all kinds of personal exchanges that will take place with our originally intended spiritual forms . Personalities also have their original pure state , this is understood initially as Brahman realisations , such realisations bring the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings , it becomes clear , although their external circumstances differ both spiritually or materially.
Ultimately, in spiritual consciousness one develops a one to one relationship through Krishna’s family, friends or lovers , or in more formal ways in other spiritual planes, with God in His Narayana forms along with the Goddesses of fortunes , and they have unlimited expansions.
A Copenhagen agreement and the unified, combined, and responsive Vedic universe .
During the Copenhagen agreement calculations between Bohr and Schrödinger sometimes discussions became very intense , Schrödinger at times became a little frustrated with some of Bohr’s approaches.
Bohr was the great master of quantum physics theories …
Richard Feynman said .
“If you think you understand quantum physics and the wave particle puzzle, that means you don’t understand it ”
Such is incomprehensible nature and engineering of our universe of which the physicist Sir Fred Hoyle said ” someone has monkeyed with the universe.” Both Sir Fred Hoyle and Niels Bohr had the correct approach to exploring the universal affairs and the energies within . They did not dismiss a responsive universe, and they objectively saw for themselves the obviously unexplained and mysteriously manifested organisation and order within its atomic realms and within its enormous breath of all the galaxies. Edward Teller once said to Bohr, “That your discovery and findings in quantum physics means we can never see reality of our world in the same way in classical physics terms , reality is in need of a rethinking .” Bohr was silent for some time but then replied,” Do you mean to tell this world is all a dream? ” Currently , scientific materialism is like a dark cloud that hangs over humanities head and along with the Darwinian hypothesis that is still foolishly regarded as fact based science , but it is stifling and suppressing the natural inquisitive nature of many . This natural inquisitive spirit is being drummed out of persons by modern education and libertine lifestyles that degrade intelligent philosophically led thinking . Any objective observations in any of the sciences will easily draw one to the same conclusion that Sir Fred Hoyle made and will get the young and old thinking along the lines of Niels Bohr .The Vedas explore all sciences and give rationale explanations and link the worlds of classical physics , quantum physics , along with minds and consciousness in a combined and responsive universe. It links Bohr’s dream like world to its immediate quantum source and an ethereal plane , all of these energies stemming from a far-reaching and unlimitedly expansive origin . Personality produces personality. Life comes from life .
The world of classical physics, quantum physics, the subtle ethereal planes and the pure consciousness associated with the spiritual realms, and one and different but interconnect. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has introduced the best of yoga systems. Yoga means to link with God , and what is the best way to link with anyone? It’s by love . By love, hearts are opened, and as love increases and is recipricated with , hearts are further opened . Something gets in the way of the light of love towards Divinity, and that is the darkness of our long-standing conditioned life. Conditioned life restricts the natural light of love , but through the light of love, darkness can also be understood and reacted to in appropriate healing ways .Without light, darkness can not be seen or understood. The process of congregational chanting of the Holy names is a trancendental sound that purifies not only an individually , but the more individuals who take up the process the faster and faster the atmosphere of the world changes . To understand our own darkness and the darkness that is currently permeating the planet, we require real intelligence . With real intelligence, we can see things as things really are and understand the causes of the problems and know solutions. Divinity or Krishna can give us insights into the Vedas , and give us the intelligence to understand who understands and is speaking truth and who is not .Chanting the Holy names congregationally or personalised jappa are both the means and the end of a perfection of spiritual life .Through jappa , bhajan, and kirtan, the heart becomes clean. To bring enlightenment to the heart is the essential task of everyone. Only then can revelation may come , the decending process . Mahāprabhu showed a wonderful example in His pastimes when cleaning the Gundicha temple , recorded in the Caitanya Caratamrita , with extensive commentaries by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada . He comments within his writings about the cleansing of the temple of the heart and brings forth the teachings of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and their thoughts on the processes of purification. Unwanted things are carried life after life , and careful cleaning is needed . Where to clean within the deep subtle heart and mind are spoken of , and it needs to be learned from by those who are expert cleaners . All offences must be given up , and not expecting any respect or a following is key . Giving respect to everyone is the essence of success in chanting and reaching the esoteric trancendental planes of Krishna’s eternal pastimes with His family and friends .That is the chantings’ perfection and goal . The conclusion of Bhagavad Gita is “Think of Me become my devotee, ” Krishna says it, and Mahāprabhu demonstrated how to do it . man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo ’si me Translation Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend
Here is overview..
“The Gundicha Temple cleaning, or Gundicha Marjana, is a significant annual ritual before the Rath Yatra, where Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees thoroughly sweep and wash the temple, symbolizing the inner purification of the heart from unwanted desires (anarthas) to make it a fit place for Krishna. This act involves meticulous cleaning with brooms, water, and even personal garments, teaching devotees humility and selfless service (seva) through dedicated, loving effort. Significance & Symbolism Inner Cleansing: It’s a metaphor for cleansing one’s own heart of pride, envy, and selfish desires, much like cleaning the temple’s dust and dirt. Spiritual Practice: The physical act of cleaning becomes a form of devotional service (seva) that helps remove anarthas (unwanted desires) from the heart, preparing it for Krishna’s presence. Example of Lord Chaitanya: Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu personally led the cleaning with great enthusiasm, using His own clothes, demonstrating the ideal mood of selfless devotion. “.
Srila Rupa Goswami, in his writings, has given a thorough understanding of all things related to heart cleaning, and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami’s book Sri Manah Siksa takes the matter into practical teachings and in other of his books the spiritual realms are revealed
When the Gaudia Vaisnava says you are not the body , he also means you are not the conditioned mind . You can do little about reshaping the material body , the plastic surgeon trys , but you can but Bhakti yoga reshape the mind ..we have two bodies, the gross physical body and the mental body , both can be employed in devotion to Divinity, but of the two the mind is the essential. Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita your mind is your best friend or worse enemy.
The most advanced spiritual devotees develop their mentally conceived spiritual body, by the practice of purely chanting Gods names , and by smaranam , remembering the name form and pastimes, then by Dharana ,holding the forms and pastimes in the depths of a spiritually transformed mind , then by Dhyana , entering specific lila , then by Dhruvanasmriti , deep uninterrupted meditations leading to mature Bhava beginnings of love of God .
These processes are the sciences of the change of mind in the Gaudia Vaisnava , Rupa Goswami gives this and more details in his literatures that Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has translated and commented upon .
The Bhajans of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas are not just songs but rather deep meditations, realisations, and prayers, and it behoves us all to regularly enter into the spirit of these hymns on a regular daily basis as well as discuss and meditate on their meanings , as much as we do with our acaryas writings. Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada was an excellent musician and composer of melodies and regularly sang the songs of our acaryas so beautifully and the sounds of the Sabdha Brahman emanating from his lotus mouth are still being heard all over the world on a daily basis .
Srila Prabhupada was so fond of singing trancendental bhajans, and they immediately took everyone in his presence to the spiritual planes of Vraj. .Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Narottam das Thakur are but some of the writers of these wondrous trancendental masterpieces .
Just as Srila Jiva Goswami gives as the meaning of the Maha mantra, along with the Goswami’s of Vrndavana, who were taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu , Krishna accepts names given to Him by His devotees, when he accepts such names He is fully present.
When our acaryas write their songs of devotion, Krishna is fully present. If we follow their prayers and meditations remembering their pure devotion, we may receive their mercy and understand something of the depths of their bhajans.
“ ‘The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Kṛṣṇa’s name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Kṛṣṇa Himself. Since Kṛṣṇa’s name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with māyā. Kṛṣṇa’s name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa Himself are identical.’
Pure theological cultures incorporate a broad range of lifestyles , not everyone can be what someone else can , or as spiritually minded , it takes many lives to culture pure spiritual consciousness. But culture is culture, but at the same time, some progressive leeway must be granted , but also an insistence that out and out atheistic libertines don’t have the power and influence to spoil family values and the discipline that leads to cultured consciousness. Extreme libertine lifestyles can lead to a degradation of society, making the unsophisticated and uncultured into what could be described as atheistic sophisticated animals whose only goal in life is sensual pleasures … Its the responsibility of leaders to seek support and help of those that realise and teach scientific dualism , the cultural consciousness that Plato taught .Science and religious teachings are one and the same in reality . Thus, Albert Einstein said that religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame. We should not for instance, as in the West , teach Darwinian hypothesis and scientific materialism as unquestioned fact based sciences…this is the cause of ignorance because it ignores the self-evident truth of consciousness. Exploitative unthinking entrepreneurs who have been prepared to infiltrate other countries , having not been educated correctly in the sciences of consciousness ,they invade and set up wars that kill others setting one group of persons against another group , because of corruption and promises of money and power . The libertine conglomerates want the invaded country thinking like they think , unsophisticated, and uncultured ways . Such greed of these liberal entrepreneurs leads to access to other countries’ wealth , and it ultimately becomes controlled and handed to the globalists’ control as well as the country the wealth originate from .
Andy Burnham recently, it appears , is to be made PM of UK , and he has a new team that could very well challenge the woke libertines who are actually a movement of global conglomerates . They try to spin a message that they are for the people and freedoms, in reality they seek to control housing , commodities of all kinds , transport systems, and many essential services including water services and the health care systems. It’s these libertine global conglomerates that cause high house prices, high rents, and every other cost that are essential for families , keeping things at high costs . These libertine conglomerates boost their profits by monopolies , and they are helped along , by paying for political parties , so long as they are free to successfully lobby for policies from government that help them increase their control of their monopolies and continued increase in the profits they want . Media empires have been built by them, and 90% of the population are easily manipulated. The centre of working of these political philosophies is at the heart of the EU and other parts of the USA . Everyone has become influenced by libertine woke global conglomerates new age culture , who profit from encouraging libertine lifestyles and everyone is working hard to do it , slaves to a system that they think give them freedoms. Society and its citizens are paying excessively for essential services that are no longer in the hands of central government but in the hands of private companies , who also promote and influence others to have a particular world veiw. Currently, there are no social housing for working people , but there are high rents paid to private landlords, who gain from the renters and from a government who pay them housing benefit directly from the government.
The Vedic way is the balanced middle way , with the intelligentsia at the forefront advising the political classes . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The mysterious conditions of wakefulness, dreaming, and deep sleep can not be understood and only speculated upon by those following scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis . They have, in reality, nothing at all to offer on the subject .….guessing is all they can do evolutionary firing of brain neurons having an evolutionary rest period . Unless dualism is understood, and all of its implications, nothing can be really understood within universal affairs .Dualism is the scientific key that opens the objectively witnessed world and puts everything in context. Ignoring consciousness is no solution to scientific affairs , but we can safely say that is, unfortunately, the modern approach to science , and it’s a pitiful state of affairs in real terms. However, the Vedas sciences very easily tackle every scientific issue , and logical and rational answers are given . Directly or indirectly, the Vedas addresses all issues. Srila Jiva Goswami, in his Tattva Sandarbha, examines all three conditions of consciousness . wakefulness, dreaming, and deep sleep , and explains them . Wakefulness, in reality, is the artificial state of the consciousness enclosed in a surreal material body dealing with Karmic synchronicities . Dreaming is the artificial state of the mental and subtle surreal body , this is where karmas are played out on a different level , desires not destined within the physical body are fulfilled and bad karma is sometimes played out in nightmares . There are other mysterious circumstances that can come about within dreams , messages being exchanged on different levels , and even spiritual messages. Deep sleep is where both states of consciousness are absent . A void world of deep sleep , almost a relief from the troubles of matter . However, on awakening, one thinks I experienced a very good deep sleep and feels happy. There is a certain peaceful experience in deep sleep that people hanker for and enjoy. Srila Jiva Goswami compares this state as a reflection of merging in the impersonal light of Divinity, where relief from material existence is experienced. Oneness without the botheration of stressful relationships and stressful material conditions. In deep sleep, the living being is merely consciousness , having been temporarily removed from the gross and subtle body, which brings considerable difficulty or temporary happiness. Thus, God, in His mercy, gives us a break from karmic synchronicities, good and bad , who does not hanker for long restful sleep ? .Dualism brings knowledge of mind , matter, and consciousness. Consciousness has an unlimited potential, and it should be realised .Those who ignore its potential get caught up in the gross , mental, or intellectual planes , as the animals do . Your dog is hankering for its dinner or wants to walk , the weaver bird intelligently builds its nest . The human is not meant to be a sophisticated animal, but something greater . They peer into the night sky and begin to wonder about life . The Darwinian is a closed consciousness, as is the scientific materialism following.
