In todays world and we are all amazed at the communication powers of electrical signals and now light waves. It’s how the whole world instantly communicates.
It’s hailed as a modern wonder and the progressive march of mankind , but to who knows where?
Truely, it is astounding but have you ever wondered about the electricity in your brain and the untapped psychic powers that it might possess . Think of Uri Gellor , or the yogic mystics, and consider some of the ancient historical documentation of various cultures . Could it be they also used electricity and psychic powers in extraordinary ways , evidence for communications , psychic subtle travelling, or an ability to lift huge weights and be able to rearrange gross matter in various ways are all recorded .
It is said in the Vedas that in this current time, man becomes engrossed in matter, like the animals, and loses touch with his inbuilt powers of a strong mind , and the benefits that can bring .
Certainly, anyone who leads a controlled life has more power over his minds energies than those who blindly and immorally follow their uncontrolled senses and minds .
Krishna is His Bhagavad Gita gives us full information as to how to tap into the unlimited potential of a controlled mind and senses.
” Ontology and epistemology are both branches of philosophy that study different aspects of reality:
Ontology
The study of being, or the nature of existence and what is real. Ontology is concerned with what exists and what is true or real. It covers a wide range of entities, including everyday objects, living beings, and ideas.
Epistemology
The study of knowledge, or how we can know things. Epistemology is concerned with how we can know about the existence of things and how we can separate true ideas from false ideas. It also studies theories of knowledge, such as how knowledge is derived and how reliable it is. “
The Vedic perspective…..
The Vedas brings all on a journey of knowledge , everyone and everybody are included . Offering appropriate wisdom and systematic learning to children , the youth, and older folks . According to where ones life journey ended , automatically, again one picks up the mantel of learning and sets off on the journey. Specifics of learning obviously vary in many ways , but onwards and upwards is the prescription for all . Ultimately, if we want to gain knowledge of Divinity and His sciences, there are correct and recognised epistemological processes and the purificatory processes of the different varnas and ashrams are given. The first thing is to become pure in consciousness by following standards alloted according to one’s situation. Only by the acceptance of a process will an understanding of the Supreme pure be developed and perfected. The original Vedas have been summarised into short codes and aphorisms . The Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary of these codes , called the Vedanta-sutra.
Within the Srimad Bhagavatam, Jiva Goswami says are the epistemological systems of the Sruti , Smriti , Puranas, and Tantras , so everything complete .This is so because the Vedas as a complete unit is very difficult to understand in a comprehensive way . Srila Jiva Goswami says in this in his Tattva Sandarbha.
ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ
Translation
“ ‘Therefore material senses cannot appreciate Kṛṣṇa’s holy name, form, qualities and pastimes. When a conditioned soul is awakened to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and renders service by using his tongue to chant the Lord’s holy name and taste the remnants of the Lord’s food, the tongue is purified, and one gradually comes to understand who Kṛṣṇa really is .
Regarding ontological considerations.
Athato brahma jijnasa is a phrase from the Vedanta-sutra that means “Now is the time to inquire about the Absolute Trut
jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’ kṛṣṇera ‘taṭasthā-śakti’
bhedābheda-prakāśa
Translation
“It is the living entity’s constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa because he is the marginal energy of Kṛṣṇa and a manifestation simultaneously one with and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Kṛṣṇa has three varieties of energy.
The conclusive understanding of who we are is given by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu in His teaching, that we are all , as every living thing is , inconceivably and simultaneous one and different from God .
This understanding separates Sankacarya and his oneness from the philosophy of Madhva Acarya, Ramanuja Acarya , Srila Visnu Swami , and Nimbarka Acarya , who respectively taught , purified monism , ( a connection with Divinity) specific monism , ( as a servant of Divinity in varying ways ) pure monism ( indicating a oneness in love ) and one and difference.
Caitanya Mahāprabhu added the inconceivable and simultaneous oneness and difference in His revealing the pranaya , oneness in love , particularly of the Manjaris , technically called Tad tad bhava icha atmika .
Thus the Vedas lack nothing in the matter of epistemology or ontology and their conclusion.
The vedic multidimensional universe and the cosmic pie
What Is Dark Energy?…..
” More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe’s expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest – everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter – adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn’t be called “normal” matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of the universe.”
Every species of life sees life differently , even human beings see , think , feel, and will in individual subjective ways , from the artist who sees incredible details in nature , which they represent in their arts of all kinds , and the hawk flying high in the air has incredible detailed vision with which to locate prey below , the owls eyes are able to see in the darkness of night , the dogs hear high pitch sound , and whales can percieve low sounds .
The vedas speak of the fourteen planetary systems within our universe, along with 400,000 different human like beings whose bodies and senses are designed for certain atmospheric conditions which operate in different time zones , our 12 hours is equivalent to their 6 months , and in the case of Lord Bramha , his 12 hours are equivalent to our 4.5 billion years . Such multidimensional universes can not necessarily be observed by those with earthly senses , as much as humans themselves have different degrees of intellectual and sensual awareness . They differ drastically from one another and, of course, from the other species. So we can safely say the fourteen planetary systems can be considered parallel planes unobserved by humans , at least, that is the general rule .
Yogis with mystic power , are said in the Vedas to be able to transport themselves in their subtle bodies to other parts of the universe and interchange existences .
Marie Currie, the Nobel prize winner for her work on x rays , carried out many experiments with telepathy and knew of the realistic states of a subtle a existence.
The Harvard Prof Lisa Randall has written many papers and books on multidimensional space time existence and the many possibilities of existence.
Yoga means to understand the dualism of life , mind , matter and consciousness , things that Plato and Socrates spoke about , although Democritus held the modern scientific materialism veiw .
The Vedas dismiss the idea of chance events in a universe caused by the somewhat ludicrous suggestion that the big bang originated from another aspect of an atomic realm , that somehow gave birth to countless atoms , that make up the elements, and compounds we see in the classical physical plane of our experience . They postulate that everything observed is because of another chance event , meaning the neurons firing by chance in the brain that supposedly causes consciousness , such is the speculative explanations of atheistic persons, in their analysis of life , which is greatly helped along by education system and the guesses of the Darwinian hypothesis that are taught as practically fact based science.
Speciation, it has an untraceable history and goes back to time immemorial .
The Darwinions greatly limit themselves , by turning a blind eye to the physicists , many of whom readily accept multidimensional space time and cyclic universal events that are self perpetual .
With that in mind, the Vedas confirm this thinking and carry the matter further , recording an incalculable number of other universes , which are simultaneously manifested .
All living beings who inhabit these various regions have also been in existence since time immemorial, and they are in a constant flux, including patterns of accepting different bodies within different species . This is determined by the particular consciousness , which is being driven by particular mental and intellectual attitudes, all of which actually originates from Divinity. In reality, they are alien to our original pure consciousness existence . The Vedas indicate that according to each individual being’s ethereal consciousness , caused by choices and interactions within matter ,that in turn are connected to an automated process of bodily production , one could very well say a super subjective artificial intelligence system operates . It is inconceivable in one sense , but also conceivable , especially in current technological times .
The material energies are , according to the Bhagavad Gita , endlessly mutable , and as such , the ethereal mind is free to wonder in uncalculable ways within them . The circumstances behind every living being on veiw gives us an indication of an individual experience, very real to them , they develop and taste unlimited variables of the inner consciousness and experience in every particular body that is accepted . All seek ways of satisfaction and pleasure. Thus , nothing is fixed in the mental ethereal planes , and accordingly , speciation changes and adapts as the material energies award multitudes of bodies within ever fluctuating environments that can be forever responsive to differing circumstances and differing time factors , in the multi universe .
As an engineer can automatically adapt a set and successful design to suit a slightly different purpose , variables and adapted structural changes to the engineering of the body are always going to be easily possible , thus to the Darwinian we say , same engineer, different engineering . For instance, you can turn your garage into a first-class mini cinema , or your bungalow into a mansion , using engineering’s set rules . So the Vedic explanation for speciation is simple , same engineer, different engineering , along with flexibility and adaptions but always a guided process , not unguided chance mutations. Such facilities for the consciousness to reside continue in universal cyclic cycles eternally. As Divinity is constantly expanding.
In spiritual life, we must always follow the perfect examples . Many holy teachers can be given as excellent examples to follow . In the Srimad Bhagavatam, one can particularly hear of those examples and the of the devotees’ who executed them.
This verse can be studied in details.
śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ
smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam
arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ
sakhyam ātma-nivedanam
Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His servant, considering the Lord one’s best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words)—these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given us a demonstration in His life and pastimes of how in this age these important processes are carried out simply and practically , He perfectly carried out all of them personally, thus He is the perfect teacher who teaches by example.
The following verse indicates He is the perfect teacher , and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur indicates Mahaprabhu is the perfect Guru .
“Let me take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has descended in the form of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to teach us real knowledge, His devotional service and detachment from whatever does not foster Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has descended because He is an ocean of transcendental mercy. Let me surrender unto His lotus feet.
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would indicate any of the nine processes if perfected can carry one to the spiritual worlds , so a very broad sweeping approach to those who practice spiritual life can be adopted and during the natural development of spiritual life and as we get older some of those proccess may be more prominent.
Some atheistic Darwinian scientific thinkers are using computer statistical analysis with mathematical modelling , along with their subjective speculations , and are stating that given enough time, chemicals can self assemble in organised selection methods One scientist gave a comparison of a tumble dryer , just throwing things around , until magically creating perfect chemical bonds and perfect molecular structures . Such scientific thinkers , who are not particularly educated in computer modelling or statistical mathematics are fooling some of the innocent public by using their speculative calculations and even suggest chemical sequencing are the ultimate source of consciousness and the constructions of all the millions of body parts . Basically, they are assuming that DNA coding and the perfect information structures forming protein machines that supervise the way the body is built, are just chance events, but that keep repeating themselves.
One might presume they are saying a million monkeys on a million typewriters for a million years will produce by chance a replica of one of Shakespeares plays . Problem is the word “might ” in the Darwinian example , has been deliberately “upgraded ” , by rascals , to “ it is now more or less proved such self selection is happening we see it happening ” in our mathematical modelling , “ self selection and biological evolution is now a reality .” NO NEED OF ANY INTELLIGENT FORSIGHT or God .
FURTHER , recent experiments were carried out , taking a string of already existing RNA and slicing it in three , and adding already existing parts of RNA , and trying to get this to self replicate , they managed a 1 % purity level , instead of natures 100% purity level , that enables self replicating to take place , Such 1% purity is no substitute for the so called primordial soup or abiogenisis. . Everything must be 100% pure or molecular structures , break up .
What they don’t tell you is that its wishful thinking based on faulty computer mathematical modelling and statistics calculations that are unrealistic.
It’s only mathematical statistical experts and computer modellers that can easily see the inaccuracies of the work of such atheistic speculations of these Darwinian profs . AND it fools only those not familiar with statistics, mathematics, and computer modelling. or biological and chemical engineering.
Once the ocean came to swallow up a birds eggs on the shore , the bird protested and began to empty the ocean with its beak , so determined was the mother bird . Fortunately, the bird was a bird with an open heart and had made many connections in her life and had faith . Thus the great Carrier of Visnu Guruda a huge bird from the spirtual realms , came to satisfy the small bird , and the ocean returned its eggs , less Guruda took up the task by mystic power to drain the ocean .
Point is when we are properly connected to the purest of the pure , essential knowledge, help , and realisation takes place in the heart .
Those that want to understand Radha Krishna Nitya Lila cannot imitate the great Sadhus , Srila Gour Kishore das Babaji , commented on a babaji who tried to imitate his austerity and life style , but lacked the param para connections or inner workings and qualities of a real Saint .
He said , at child birth the mother is crying and crying in pain , but can produce a fruit of a beautiful child , but simply imitation of this , by crying and feeling pain , won’t produce a child , there are necessarily many other events that take place before a child is born .
So understanding Radha Krishna Nitya Lila without connecting to Rupa Ragganatha and the param para and humbly developing the mood of devotion along with all the processes of Sadhana Bhakti and Ragganuga Bhakti etc, and simply making a show of Bhakti, will not produce the ” child ” of spontaneous love of a resident of Vraj , infact , so much misunderstandings can develop on these matters that a girl giving birth might say to her mother , when it’s time to give birth please wake me , I going to have a sleep .
Lord Krishna, in His Bhagavad Gita , the song of God , makes a condition to approach Him , He says, “Think of Me , become my devotee , offer homage and worship Me , you will certainly come to Me .” Certainly, that’s how love works , even in the material world, the lover is always thinking of the lover , or the mother is always thinking of the child .
But when Krishna came as Mahaprabhu He did not make any conditions , He freely is distributing love of God to one and all the deserving and undeserving.
A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada tells the secret of how the undeserving and impious persons are able to immediately purify their existence and approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead , Prabhupada demonstrates it . He told Bhaja Hari his disciple .when a tramp was seen sleeping on a park bench whilst on a morning walk , that such a person and others like Him can be immediately purified of sins . Sins which are bearing results now , in the near future and distant future , all eradicated . Prabhupada said , “we are creating their good fortune , by chanting the Holy names , they hear God names , by distributing prasadam and by trancendental litratures and thus all methods are engaging everyone in the highest of Sukriti activities.
Thus, there is no need for a previous good sukriti , either karma or jnana , because we immediately are giving Bhakti sukriti the highest of benefits , the usual Vedic systems required to approach God is to aquire much piety. In this age one can very soon develop the highest standards and highest spiritual culture that enable anyone to think of Him and serve Him and enter into a relationship. Of course, those that have got some trancendental pedigree from previous practice will generally be able to dive deeper and quickly into the ocean of love of God , but not in all cases.
Lord Nityananda led this mass distribution of love of God and trancendental Sukriti to one and all under the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , and the magnificent display of these great benedictions were brought to the world by A.C . Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , which was very much the desire of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami , and how inconceivably and perfectly Prabhupada carried those desires out and practically enacted them
The Vedas comprises of four different types of widom for systematic progressive education , within these texts many different types of sciences are found , in summary of the body, mind and consciousness and the workings of the responsive universe.
Artha sastra , Dharma Sastra , Jnana Sastra, and Bhakti sastra are the descriptions and categories of the Vedas covering everything that can be understood in details , but also bearing in mind once one thing is known every thing is known , and that ultimately knowledge and relationships with Divinity are based on revelation in that was beyond intellectualism.
The ultimate Bhakti sastra analysis can be understood in this Bhagavad Gita verse 9.2.
rāja-vidyā rāja-guhyaṁ pavitram idam uttamam pratyakṣāvagamaṁ dharmyaṁ su-sukhaṁ kartum avyayam
Translation
This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is everlasting, and it is joyfully performed.
The secret of all secrets is always based on open, honest, and loving relationships with absolute trust and surrender . By entering into an honest open relationship with Krishna and His associates , the secrets are revealed.
We should contemplate the implications and consequences of our thinking , feeling , and willing , as the Vedas puts it .
Before any activities take place , it is the mind that acts first , then the intelligence kicks in , followed by the willingness for our senses and body to proceed.
It’s always good , of course , to think things through intelligently understanding the impacts of our proposed actions , things we do or say , and the Vedas says we should seek knowledge of working within the material worlds.
The reason is that we are not lone actors , our actions will impact others in many ways , and the Vedas is not just speaking about humans , there are very many considerations to mull over , and a decent ethical moral and learned person will understand things from many angles .
The Vedas know of the need for education and always makes the best of the intelligentsia available and accessible to everyone , such is its fully comprehensive and systematic approach to everyone’s life .
Furthermore , the Vedas bring one to realise the past , present and future are inextricably linked , as Einstein suspected .
The Vedic science Wing also teaches of the various types of activities , be it action in ignorance , passion or goodness, or pure goodness , everyone of these implications of actions are explained.
Curiously enough , the current quantum physics teachings, such as the observer effect , the many possibilities of an atomic realm , the unpredictability of what a future state might be , as well as instant communication are all paralleled in Vedic scientific truths , the individual free will of consciousness is key to understand , its free will is in operation with a gigantic universal machine that is responsive.
It very much combines the classical plane of physics linking it to the atomic realm , but also an as yet unknown ethereal subtle plane , one could say ” fine mutable matter ” and its interactions with the atomic realm .
Thus, everything is interconnected in life , so careful what you wish for and be wise in thought and action , time and space are not under the physical laws , but ethereal subtle laws , that are unavoidable.
