Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu are the great concession makers in this particular age. What was due is excused, and what is not due is bestowed . Something bestowed beyond ones comprehension and expectations, to say the least . Bhakti Devi bestows via the pure representatives of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu something magnanimous beyond ones comprehension , something that Mahāprabhu could have only bestowed, and something never given before . Sudama Brahmin and the devotee who Lord Siva sent to Sanatana Gosvami to request something valuable are lessons given by the Gaudia Vaisnava. Gagendra, the elephant who offered flowers to Visnu, while in the grips of a crocodile, is another example of changing fortune. The Vedas are full of stories of changing fortune , but the real fortune offered by Krishna should be learned about , not the yellow stool in the form of Gold , money and Gold generally send peoples consciousness in one way only , therefore Hari means to take away , to take away something that a fool considers fortune , but a wise man knows different.
Srila Sanantan Goswami kept a touch stone in the rubbish , the mysterious stone from the higher realms that could turn anything it touched into gold .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu are bestowing a land made of cintamani , touchstone , where even one particle of soil is worshipable.
In bestowing such trancendental opulences, they are like high court judges who bestow mercy above justice. The highest to the lowest , everything excused , sentences commuted , and the power to resist Gold in quantity beyond imagination, such is the power of the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu.
Conditioned souls boost their subjective conditioning power , increasingly filling their heads with “so-called” authors or teachers who claim knowledge of a particular topic. Often, scientific writing involves peer reviews, it means another speculator kind of agrees with an author’s speculations .Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis writers are haunted by peer reviews and consider this means ” knowledge.” The public fill their heads with speculations of every kind . In the scientific social world , citations after citations , peer reviews after peer reviews . In other areas of knowledge, say, child education, new methods are dreamed up as better teaching approaches and all change , only for that new change to be thrown out , as another new and ” better approach is rolled out , and every school is obliged to follow . The Vedas epistemology and teaching systems are based on broad dualism and an understanding of psychological conditioning within the material world and the various approaches to lead rewarding lives but by developing awareness of the energies of consciousness, mind and matter , with self evident knowledge of the equality of all beings, ie. Their right to live and live fulfilled lives . Dualism , however, duslism based on quoted acceptable Vedic authority . The Vedas origins are with the wisdom and breathing of Divinity. The materialist, in their attempts at independence, attempt newer and newer ways to enjoy, but they simply are chewing the chewed over and over again , they regurgitate sense enjoyment regarding it as unique. Ai is hoping to take chewing the chewed and all kinds of knowledge to greater and greater hights , but it’s the same old business, and it won’t satisfy consciousness. The consciousness is not matter , it requires something much deeper, a spiritual plane automatically reveals pleasure. Our hope for knowledge is not so far , sat cit ananda .
The soul is full of knowledge and bliss .
The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam gives in-depth analysis of epistemological processes and the etymology of how languages, particularly Sanskrit, are used by those who have genuine love and devotion towards God .
From Rolls Royce to a beaten up Ford , or from old Ford to Rolls .
Reincarnation means one is forced to identify with the new circumstances , for better or worse . Much of what was previously experienced is completely forgotten or taken away , however, subtle elements, a deep impression or attraction remain within the subtle consciousness . Some very strong feelings within our inner selves develop throughout the circumstances of our lives , and persons follow instinctively . The rewards of the responsive universes are set in motion along with its limitations. The inner consciousness is a fascinating and complex topic , and it is delved into within the vedas . Psychological matters of every kind are broadly explained , and how karmic synchronicities play out in innumerable ways. Although we are not dead stones , nothing is fixed , so particular behaviours can offset the negative due or behaviour can bring new difficulties previously not in the mix . Everything is moving within the responsive karmic universe , which itself calculates on many different time spheres , immediately, little later , or far into a future . External circumstances and ones internal circumstances are two calculations of this world. The man in the Rolls Royce could be happy or living a miserable life , the man with the beaten up Ford could be happy or living a miserable life . Identifying with mere external circumstances is something not recommended in the Vedas , rather, the journey of the inner consciousness is given priority and to solve the problems of changing machines within fragility and unsurity. Eventually, everyone has to step out of their cars But is life only about seeing to machine like body or following an unsteady mind and senses.
kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ
Translation
In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.
Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.32
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s process of mass distribution of trancendental Krishna consciousness enacted through primarily Lord Nityananda’s mercy brings about a trancendental and transformed intelligence that will enable the honest to see things as they are , both spiritually and materially , and to learn how to place faith in the real intelligensia who see the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings. Such persons are well wishers of everyone and are full of compassion, they genuinely feel the suffering that others are suffering.
Knowledge means to know fully the true potential of everyone and be fully aware of the many forms of ignorance that have clouded truth . Both must be understood side by side .
To realise truth and to indentify ignorance, one needs the help of the absolute truth . From the absolute truth, both knowledge and the conditions that bring about the absence of knowledge originate . Both conditions are fully under the control of the absolute truth.
Previously, Lord Krishna established religious principles throughout the world by destroying those that falsely claimed to represent them , He did so literally and on a battlefield.
But times change, and in todays world, ignorance is being destroyed in different ways . The trancendental process of the Sankirtana movements that brings the chanting of the Trancendental sound , its this that bestows trancendental buddhi yoga , intelligence to see things in proper perspective . The chanting is carried out with a sincerity of purpose under the direction of the param para acaryas. In so doing, one revives a position as a servant of Divinity . Divinity is served, of course, in numerous ways , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given full details of this great trancendental mystery of Chanting and its results to the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who have written extensively of the entire process . It includes the reestablishing of the Vedic principles and, most importantly, it reveals the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna and His eternal consort the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani along with all Her friends . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu revealed this very same Supreme expression of Love that is displayed by the residents of Vrndavana . It is the highest expression of pure, unadulterated , and unalloyed love of God, and Mahaprabhu gave everyone the process of how to taste it very easily.
In Gaudiya Vaisnavism under the tutelage of the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana , who Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught , the Brahminical initiation is given to all classes of persons, if they have accepted training under the guidance of the appropriate Guru .This Brahminical initiation is given , not so one can further study scriptures, but only for Deity worship and other ceremonies carried out by priests.
Brahminical initiation is not an essential, Nama is enough, and the all encompasing Nama initiation along with studies of the Srimad Bhagavatam , Caitanya Caratamrita and the Smriti of the Goswami’s bring the same meditations that the Brahminical initiation offers .
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja did not offer Brahminical initiation to ladies, because in India they did not generally carry out pujari or priestly duties , but they would be given Nama initiation and would intelligently study scriptures.
The Brahminical initiation and its meditations are meant to help Nama and the thread is mostly for official duties and also is shows the Vaisnava, even if coming from lower stock are as good as birth Brahminical classes and better if they become pure devotees.
Srila BR Sridhar Swami makes it clear its not essential.
AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada gave Brahminical initiation in the West due to Western cultures and time place and circumstance.His lady disciples wanted to carry out Deity worship, and they are expert at it .
Ladies are as intelligent and devoted as men , with or without Brahminical initiation.
Night time dream day time dream , the equivalents of Nyaya
Equivalents are used in Nyaya logic…
Where there is smoke, there is fire, for instance.
Today, we could say that when we see codes and information, we know it comes from a consciousness.
Dna codes……the origins of information in these codes ,incalculably more sophisticated than computer codes, but it’s the same principle, Bill Gates notes , the fingerprint of God , said Francis Crick. Consciousness is seen equally situated in all beings .That is a self-evident truth , said Thomas Jefferson .
Life comes from life. It will never arise out of chemicals. That’s another self-evident truth . The source of the particles of consciousness is an original whole consciousness , but in absolute spiritual physics, the whole remains whole and does not diminish in any way . Simultaneously one and difference is spiritual physics. Like the sun and sun molecules without the sun , no photons of light .God is the sun , we the photons. There has never been a time that consciousness did not exist , nor in the future will it cease to be ..Matter has certain defined and changing properties. It is endlessly mutable and eternally so . Consciousness is an entirely different sort of energy , a superior energy. That’s another self-evident truth and observable fact .
We can not equate something inferior to something superior The ancients and their cultures were correctly based on dualism. Matter and consciousness, Plato taught this truth along with many Europeans from past scientific cultures. Scientific materialism is a recent construct ..and is a completely subjective speculation and is actually unscientific , it curiously practically ignores consciousness and offers no explanation apart from neurons firing , but is electronic signaling consciousness ? Ignorance is bliss , so some say , maybe this enables a madman to live in the illusion of unsuccessfully attempting to enjoy dead matter . We are the same Consciousness particle, as we were as children, but our body has changed . When we sleep and dream , our body is acting , and our consciouseness is involved in an ethereal plane , a real life , so much so that if a man embraces a woman, he can ejeculate .we see, feel , taste and hear in dreams and occasionally receive important information. Curiously, though, we completely forget our body lying in our beds in dreamland . On awakening, we remember our dream but then identify strongly with our day time body again ..At death our body is forgotten forever , but we wake up in a new one , only traces and some impressions of a previous consciousnesss conditioning is vaguely remembered . Thus, our life is a daytime dream and night-time dream . But you should ask why am I subjected to this ? And who is the who who is identifying .
It is no coincidence that the Gurukuli nama movement has begun , inspired by primarily Aindra prabhu from Sri Vrndavana Dharma it is sweeping the world in many ways . The “Gurukuli” long meditative bhajans and Nama kirtans are all the arrangements of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu , Indeed, They Themselves carried out such Kirtan with their intimate devotees .Harinama Sankirtana on the streets serve the purpose of Nityananda prabhu for the public to receive the seeds of Nama , and the trancendental sharing of the meditations of established devotees , who took birth in the movement , or who associated since childhood are a very significant way of deeply developing and growing the seeds of Krishna consciousness . Srila Prabhupada was very accustomed to regularly singing bhajans as were our Acaryas were. Many of their compositions are the direct Smriti of our acaryas. Srila Prabhupada wanted our Gurukula children to become great examples for humanity, and what has come about and what is ever increasing is this nama festival programme, and many great things will spring from that . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
If the Vedas is correct , how is it that one soul successfully arrives in the womb of a particular person or particular creature .
Nothing by chance but by design..
” Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna , this consciousness is Krishna consciousness.” AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
There are systems for the arrivals of each and every consciousness particle . There are chosen destinations , a chosen time and place . Each particle of consciousness in a particular body at a particular time lives out a life , like it or not .
Mankind , in current times , does pretty well at advancing in all sorts of technologies , some have the ability to direct and control extraordinary amounts of information , increasingly influencing and controlling our world around , at least some of them are controlling , the others are being influenced and controlled . The Ai and algorithmic processes have made the impossible possible, it seems . Is it too difficult to conceive of Divinities algorithmic processes ? One should, with rationality, consider the divine technological possibilities and supreme engineering capabilities to see how scientifically they may be working on an infinitely greater level and scale . The subtle and ethereal energies can not be ignored , those camped out in scientific materialism do just that .The Vedas defines that via the mind , matter and consciousness are linked and are responsive with each other within the greater responsive universe , the personalisation of the multidimensional universes is the Vedic way. Through persons come ordered systems, there is no other way .Smoke means fire in Nyaya logic.
The scientific community, for instance, has examined how a particular sperm is attracted chemically to a particular egg of the female , no other sperm can enter . There is chemical signalling that is clearly witnessed . All of the other sperm die off ….so life is a struggle from its beginning to end .. and it might take a specific time period before the circumstances click into place that fit a set of circumstances for a particular consciousness particle to be placed into the correct machine . It’s a waiting game as karmic synchronicities, and their connections are slotted into place .
We can say the specific messages that you are going to receive via the WWW are a highly complex business , but they are made easy in the technological age we currently live in .
This is explained in the following way .
“While it may seem like a needle in a haystack, directing a specific message to one person out of trillions relies on a system of unique identifiers and protocols. Each message is routed based on the recipient’s IP address, a unique numerical label assigned to their device, and the message itself is formatted according to specific communication protocols like TCP/IP, ensuring it reaches the intended destination “
Those who advocate scientific materialism also advocate that everything is happening by chance events driven by nature . The question should be, ” Who’s nature ?.
Dark energies and dark matter have the Vedic explanation , the ethereal planes are an aspect of subtle science’s described clearly in the Vedas .What goes on in such ethereal energies? Future destinations and many possibilities are being played out , free will and determinism , and operations within a universal structure. Our next destinations are already beginning to form as much as your changing algorithms are getting ready to present you with your due .
Travelling at high speed throughout our planet are countless of trillions of messages and images , i.e., Internet messages and images . The ethereal energies also carry signalling of a different kind , that of our “karmic brainwaves , and desires and deserves ” a subtle world of actions and reactions. the Vedas indicates that all to be played out later . The world of the multidimensional and responsive universes lives on , not in the minds of the disciples of the gurus of scientific materialism but within those who have an open unbiased scientific inquiring capacities of a reality of matter, mind , body and the consciousness. This is dualism. As well as many leading physicists, but not biologists, who are bogged down in primordial soup http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The differences of a person in knowledge and a person who is not can be calculated, as well as what we mean by knowledge, the Vedic description tells of knowledge of an impersonal all pervasiveness form of Divinity, His localised and more personal feature that gives everything form and substance and His confidential original forms , those that exhibit His Godhead originating in Lord Krishna. That person in knowledge of some or all these features would have acquired Jnana , or buddhi yoga , the yoga of intelligence . This knowledge is brought about in various ways and generally through many lives . Sacrifices of many kinds and following honest duties and morality ethics kindness and compassion brings knowledge very close , the honest attract truth and can easily accept truth . It is recommended in the Vedas , that a person who is inhabited by a ghost , needs to engage himself in purificatory processes of different kinds , and after acting accordingly, like an ordinary man should do , he will regain knowledge of who he is , ie . He is a man, not a ghost .When one is inhabited by ghostly elements, the ghosts affect thinking and actions and subdue the good sense of a person. By repeatedly telling the man he is not a ghost won’t do ,the ghost will overpower him . He must engage in purificatory actions to revive his true position and cast out the ghost. Karma yoga, as in Niskama karma yoga, leads to knowledge of God and knowledge of ones true self as an associate of God . The process of jnana alone is not suitable for 99.9 % of people, but by Niskama karma yoga, one automatically aquires knowledge by working correctly under the directions of the spiritual intelligentsia .The candidate can realise the original source of all energies within and outside the body . Also, how best they can be employed for the benefit of an individual and everyone else will be realised . An offering of energy back to the energetic source is the prescribed methods .By Niskama karma yoga , one soon realises the futility of temporary action within matter , and a strong realisation comes about , dualism and consciousness and its origins are gradually realised in full . Jnana or buddhi yoga are the result of pure actions. Automatically reviving pure knowledge of a person who is artificially trying to enjoy matter. The inner consciousness is not made of matter , so matter will never satisfy consciousness. The ghost like illusion of being something one is not is cleared up by Niskama karma yoga leading to pure Jnana . Then, pure Bhakti, the yoga of pure devotional service can be understood and practised to perfection, its only this which reveals one’s spiritual form in relation to God , that is carried out under the directions of a Diksa Guru and many Siksa Gurus including Sastra sanga. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Can anyone conceive of the size of the abode of Lord Krishna ? It’s named in the Vedas as “Goloka Vrndavana.” This one planet alone is bigger than all of the combined multidimensional universes put together, of which there are billions which are simultaneously manifested . According to the Vedas, for instance, the size of the inhabitants of the higher realms of our universe and the creatures and trees are much much greater than what we are currently experiencing on this earth . It is also mentioned in Vedic historical Puranas that in different ages and time periods over millions and millions of years, the sizes of the inhabitants change . The spiritual consciousness expands greatly in a pure spiritual atmosphere and the abodes it inhabits , as do the experiences of emotions both within the spiritual body and spiritual emotional states , technically called Vibhava and Anubhava . The great spiritual abode of trancendental bliss . In Goloka Vrndavana planet , “Vrndavana village ” is the central place of trancendental rasa , there Radha Krishna along with Their intimate friends take central place Within Goloka Vrndavana and adjacent to Vrndavana are Mathura and Dwarka. These three abodes exhibit perfect , more perfect, and most perfect spiritual rasa and subsequent spiritual emotions based on spontaneous love , or more formal love mixed with worship. The predominant and main branches within Vrndavana are Krishna’s brother Balarama , along with His close associates , and most prominent is Srimati Radharani and Her friends and immediate expansions , the Asta sakhis ,eight intimate friends, Radharani’s main friends . Each branch of family and friends naturally has many other branches and many more sub branches and countless smaller branches that stem from them . There are many twig like branches, and within all these structures, there are incalculable leaves and sweet flowers .
This tree is of unimaginable size, and its widths are ever expanding . Every single spiritual personality who make up this tree , are one in their purposes , and it could be said , their emotions on many different levels are all interlinked , such is the glory and power of the all attractive couple Radha Krishna who are forever expanding Their loving affairs in multitudes of ways . Forever fresh , forever new , forever enthusistic, such is the nature of eternal youth there is no limits to youths enthusiasm.
Have you ever been outside the school gates of 14 year old girls and boys , are the playgrounds of the children or youths ever silent ? The reflections of this material tree are seen in the spiritual world .Time moves on fast here in this world , youthful life is special but like lightning. Gone in a flash .However, in Goloka Vrndavana, time is conspicuous by its absence in Goloka .It’s a big and unlimited journey on all levels.
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would give the example of a green parrot entering a green tree, the oneness and spiritual varigatedness of pranaya. The intimacies of spiritual love for all , when Radha Krishna are at the centre. He also said everything in the spiritual world is made of the same spiritual consciousness, “Cintamani ” a touchstone of spiritual bliss that is unlimitedly expanding .
