In reality, cloud seeding can be done to increase or encourage rainfall , but this manipulation is going on in an already existing cloud that has already formed, due to heat and cold exchanges in the atmosphere causing evaporation and changes to air pressure, that is the external ” look ”
The Vedas have everything happening in nature as controlled and responsive , as well as engineered by processes set in motion and that take care of themselves , but as before said responsive to effects good and bad .
Everything in everyone’s life is responsive and reacts with external sources , how you feel about something or what you do is dependent on how you respond to others around you .
If we scale that up to universal or global models, the Vedas say Mother earth is a reponsive unit , you can’t do what you will and expect no reactions , even if you kill a tiny creature, a reaction will occur, that creature is part of an environment and plays a part .
So although the oil company have cashed into the greenhouse effect , by agreeing its a great idea to raise petrol costs , to discourage people from driving , the fact is pollution and exploitation is taking place , and mother earth will react , and change in her environments are happening . But man creating storms , no . But yes, using sound , a technology used by manta power , previously weather could be turned into weapons, Even turning Bell metal into gold by manipulating the protons within Bell metal to equate with Gold could occur by sound manipulation on the subtle realms .
Praying for good weather is possible if one plays ball fairly with Divinity and Mother Earth.
O Uddhava! Your Lord must have forgotten us gopies, but has He also forgotten the nights that He danced the Räsa with us? We become mad when we remember those enchanting nights, that were whitened by the pleasing rays of the full autumn moon inundating the surface of mother earth! The whole natural scenery of Vrndavana smiled at us with its white Kunda and Jasmine-flowers. Although she is called krishna , or the Black One, the Yamunä became as white as milk because of all the blossoming white lotus-flowers and lilies floating on her surface, and the sand on her banks became as soft, white and fragrant as ground camphor. On top of that, the demigods have strewn many white flowers on the arena of the Räsadance! O Best of the Yadus! The dancing of the gopies made their sashes of bells, the bangles on their wrists and the anklebells on their feet jingle sweetly, sounding even more beautiful than the different musical instruments that they played! Does Your Lord remember that most blissful Rasadance now?”
“With their measured treads, the motions of their hands, the playful movements of their eyebrows accompanied with graceful smiles, bending waists, shaking breasts and fluttering skirts of their garments, earrings swinging against their cheeks, perspiring faces and their braids and girdles loosened because of their swift movements, and singing His glories, the gopies , dancing with Krishna shone brightly like flashes of lightning in a mass of clouds.”
“This pastime is bearing the nectarean rasa of laughter and is desired for by Sukadeva , Brahmä, Siva and Närada. May the playful pastimes of Rädhä and Mädhava enter my mind and increase my love. These pastimes only take place in the Vrndavana forest and are reflected in the hearts of those who are absorbed in this fresh rasa. This rasa makes the taste of mukti seem bitter and finds it shelter in the glistening feet of Sri Hari. The amorous transformations increase at every moment in this ocean full of the quintessence of nectarean rasa. These pastimes are beyond the three modes of material nature and are sung by the greatest sages, who spit even on the position of Lord Brahmä. This pastime can only be seen by Rädhä’s dear devotees and is not disclosed even to the Vedas. Even the great souls cannot find the end to all the different kinds of loving gestures made in this Räsa festival. O devotees who are very eager for rasa! Always keep your hearts absorbed in the supreme jewel of Prabodhänanda Sarasvati’s song!”
In our own lives, our intelligence is seen to adapt to various circumstances and is responsive to the many possibilities that could occur in our day , every single creature has this ability in one way or another . One could ask the Darwinians, just how did the intelligence evolve , in fact what makes intelligence , in that regard, they appear clueless .
We can scale up expedentually to the unlimited and ever expanding macro universal order , and as Sir Fred Hoyle notes , their appears to be a clear indication of a universal intelligence. The Vedas indicates such an intelligent arrangement and it defines these as the many different Saktis of God , who is a most intelligent engineer, an engineer of both matter , mind , anx intelligence , which are displays of His Saktis, or multifarious energies, there are the energies and the energetic source . Everything has a cause , which was famously noted by Richard Feynman when he discussed why Granny slipped on the ice and why she was taken to hospital. ( see you tube )
The Vedas indicates God has simultaneously and inconceivably become one and different , expanding Himself through his personal forms and energies , one with but different from Him . He also expands His internal energies, who are the individual beings , currently wrapped up and absorbed in matter . Naturally, He has left His traits of free will within all of His unlimited parts and parcels. One could say like father like son .
Being supremely intelligent ,God is naturally responding to the many possibilities that come along with free will . Take the example of governments all over the world , who are creating facilities for enjoying and living peacefully , but also alongside systems of justice . Along with free will come a degree of governance , compliance, and management of risks . When free will becomes harmful to itself and others , steps are naturally taken within governmental systems and likewise in the universal machine of Divinity.
In the Vedas this governance, compliance and risk assessments and management are all described very nicely in logical and rational ways , that are easy to understand.
So the need for the material worlds are a direct result of free will, and the many possibilities that occur and that cause the universal affairs to automate will facilitate perfect tailor-made arrangements are deliberately legislated. It’s so perfect that, along with free will and determinism , comes more free will and determinism , It’s set in motion according to a long distant past and the present activity. This will determine the next episode of our exhibition of the many possibilities of our free will.
Divinity invites us at any time to join His family, and break the cyclic cycle of birth and death , where the perfection of free will is exhibited based on nothing more than unmotivated pure love , increasing in beauty , described in the Vedas as the sixty four excellences of artistic emotional rasa they are forever on exhibition , unbounding perfections in a super subjective higher spiritual planes
When Sir Fred Hoyle said that the universe is too finely tuned to be a cataclysmic chance event . The atoms , elements , compounds, and molecular structures require exact combinations of protons in the atomic structures , which cause and set the various elements for the construction of the universe . Earth , for instance , for the structures for lifeforms requires a great deal of carbon , and Sir Fred thought it a mystery that this all important element should be ” by chance ” in place in such huge quantities. “Someone has monkeyed with our universe,” he famously said, so the right and perfect balance of elements came to be in place to support life , it’s all just too perfect “
Actually , in Vedic terms , the universe is finely tuned beyond any Western scientists’ comprehension . Never mind the physical universe , which includes our bodies and, of course, our minds , which incidentally it should be noted that the scientific community is absolutely clueless about .
The Vedas clearly explains that our next body is already beginning to form , from the subtle ethereal electricity of our minds desires and activities . The universal energies are , according to Vedic Scientific studies , that parallel , quantum physics , akin to the work of Bohr and Schrödinger ,and the conclusions of the Copenhagen agreement , that indicate the universe is responsive. The Vedas agree , material actions subtle and gross or a spiritual consciousness , in the case of a Krishna consciousness person , who due to the practice of hearing about Krishna , Radharani and the spiritual world , completely change destiny , and enter a spiritual abode . Srila Visvanatha Cakravati , a famous Vedic scholar, speaks of a mentally conceived spiritual body . This can bd obtained through the purification of the Holy names , as given by Mahaprabhu , alongside deep remberance and an even deeper meditation based on the revelations of a spiritual world . This is revealed by the works of our acaryas . Rupa , Ragganath , Jayadeva Goswami, Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, to name but a few .
In fact Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur says we have two bodies, the one we are currently in and the one that is forming , either spiritual or another material body . So the universal and spiritual affairs , and its reponsive possibilities , that are automatically tuned to consciousness develop , all this is beyond our comprehension . Perhaps our modern AI technology might hint at instant response systems . Your phone immediately understands your wants and desires, with its built-in algorithms at work .So the trancendental algorithms and the super subjective algorithms of the spiritual universal order can be logged into .
Niels Bohr , Schrödinger ,Teller or Feynman, and Einstein would probably not deny these types of information exchanges and the reformation of the material and spiritual energy.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja told AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , when AC Bhaktivedanta Swami was a young man , at their first meeting, that Mahaprabhu’s movement waits for nothing , its far too an important need in society, because of the widespread lack of Krishna consciousness.
In some circles, and there is some truth to it , the establishment of duties ,piety ,morals ethics and proper leadership , along with perfect geopolitical affairs and and first class governance compliance and risk assessments must be in place to elevate peoples consciousness , then people will take to Krishna consciousness, due to piety, that may well be for the long term established preservation of culture.
But in reality, it was the Sri Caitanya movement , the Sankirtana movement that AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada brought to the world , and the immediate purification of a heavily conditioned consciousness that took place first in 1968 in USA among his sincere early following, and that is still reverberating world wide , such is the immediate effects of Chanting God’s names , The Maha Mantra , even Krishna becomes stunned by hearing Radharani,s name and Radharani becomes stunned at hearing Krishna’s name , what to speak of the effects on the most lowly consciousness, which Mahaprabhu is instigating worldwide.
So first the Holy names , then once one thing is known, everything is known and the Vedic Varna Ashram system will be gradually be understood and properly communicated and will take its effect , and everyone will understand its multicultural and widespread applications , within their own countries
Does Divinity get things wrong or read situations wrong ? Does he break His word or tell untruths ?
These are interesting considerations , Professor Suthers in the early 1920s came to see Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, and told that ” Your Krishna is highly immoral ” , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati immediately retorted, “Krishna exhibited the highest morality.”
On the battlefield of Kuruksetra, Krishna instructed Yudhisthira to lie , Krishna also broke His word and began to fight in the battle for a short while .
Krishna quite often reads Srimati Radharani s moods incorrectly and is banished from the trysting grounds, and lamenting seeks the help of Radharani s friends so as to appease Radharani , and regain Her favour .
So it’s curious that in the absolute world, the absolute good can appear to be wrong or act wrongly .
Ultimately of course these mysteries are explained by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas in their teachings , and we should know we can never imitate the activities of Divinity or the great teachers , our insights are considerably less , and , of course Divinity or Krishna is the Supreme Autocrate. Who can do no wrong .
The mysteries deepen when the Damsels of Vrndavana are quite right to act wrongly, and other moralists are quite wrong to act correctly when it comes to as the highest Rasa exchanges, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati pointed out to Prof. Suthers.
Taking something from this material world that is legitimately allotted to you by nature and your karmic synchronicities and according to your social station in life , is not sinful but will be entangleing .
Thus, in Vedic culture, whatever you naturally acquire has been alloted to you by fate is perfectly fine . However the Vedasc says a certain portion should be offered back to Divinity or His agents as the best of sacrifice , because saints always know how best use resources or one could give in charitable acts , and in that way actions become less entangleing and are either elevating , if you give to saints , or materially beneficial if given in charity . Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita, one who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is in knowledge , and everyone should unpack the mysterious nature of that statement.
Sin is defined , when someone encroaches on others’ territories or exploits other persons for selfish reasons , that will cause harm in many ways . Sin always goes against morality , ethics, and in most cases of truely civilised society , the law . Sin always causes all sorts of pain to the others . One should know any physical or emotional pain one inflicts will be alloted back to the perpetrator and with interest.
Also, according to ones station in life , and the specific duties associated with it , comes different calculations of degrees of sin , an educated man in places of social responsibility , or a leader has to pay a heavy price if he or she performs the wrong actions . The example of a state leader issuing orders for war comes to mind , if women and children are killed or the whole basis of the war is based against the natural moral and international laws , the leader and his country will pay the price as well as the people who gave him power .
Thus, it behoves everyone to understand how to carefully act in this life ,and ultimately how to raise one’s consciousness and awareness.
This great science of action reactions and the systematic universal responses are discussed fully in Bhagavad Gita.
Vibhavas are the stimulants of emotions, anubhavas the physical responses that go with these emotional responses and vyabhichari bhavas are transitory emotions.
The trancendental personal realm of Divinity and the Supreme Goddess of fortune , who are described in the essence of the Vedic writing , the Sruti and Smriti , and are known as Radha Krishna , both of them live in a realm where emotions and feelings have no limits and are felt like the rising and falling of huge waves in a constantly churning tumultuous ocean of union and seperation, both of which provide increasing bliss .
In trying to describe this trancendental ocean of spiritual emotions felt in one’s original spiritual body , and which , as the Bible says , man is made in the image of God , so spiritual existence is not an impersonal void , but rather a land of unlimited emotions and beauty, we all love emotions , they are a reflection of spirituality , in trying to describe the indescribable, Rupa Goswami has borrowed from Bharat Muni and his Natya sastra .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has specifically appeared in Kali yuga , the current age , to reveal and explain His teachings to His direct followers, this great trancendental tumultuous ocean of spiritual emotions and the beauty therein.
It behoves every one of us to chase down these gems of wisdom that Mahāprabhu is revealing and distributing . The trancendental emotions are like diamonds, the material emotions of family , friends , and bank balance are tiny ripples in a material temporary ocean that end up as a stagnant pond at death .
One should cultivate , through the processes recommended by the Goswamis of Vrndavana ones sthya bhava , ones original attraction. Vibhavas are described as the stimulus of trancendental emotion , by smaranam and intense meditation , through hearing and study of the works of The Goswamis and their following, the trancendental world is brought to life , anubhava , are the physical or spiritual responses to such stimulus, vyabhicari bhava , are the rising and falling of lesser spiritual emotions. Such as ..
Sneha… lit heart Mana ..sulky anger Pranaya ..oneness Raga ..critical blame Anugaga …newer and newer
Systematic progressive meditations
From Smarana..slight seeking Dharana ..holding trancendental forms in the heart Dhyana holdings specific lilas in the heart . Dhruvasmrti specific uninterrupted lila .
Such is the nature of the writings of the Vedas and their supplementary litratures.
Ultimately, sets of morals and ethics could be said to be like yogic practices , like a voluntary control of a mind and senses , for the benefit of others and one’s own self mental well-being . It can be seen as commitments to a higher cause , other than animalistic uncontrolled exploitation for one’s own gratification .
The uncontrolled mind and senses are actually a great danger to us , warnings are discussed elaborately in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna who says our minds that cause actions can be our greatest friend or our worse enemy. Although , in Western cultures, we are repeatedly given the narrative story after story to accept libertarianism as a great device for real freedom. Western litratures and arts bring this idea to the forefront of everything. “Take your mind and senses, and do what you will …freedoms to do what you like , is a great happiness ,don’t let anyone or anything bring any form of suppression ”
The Vedas give an entirely different picture of freedom. Freedom from the material mind and material senses and an aquiring of a spiritual mind and senses. When you put iron in fire, it acts like fire . Ultimately, to gain association with Divinity and regain our spiritual identity, one has to learn to love God and understand His qualities and become familiar with His form and activities along with all His associates. The platform of yogic practices, as well as morals and ethics, are an essential step in freedom from the dictates of our conditioned nature .However, one automatically experiences a higher taste in a spiritual dimension , so lower tastes are automatically discarded .Bhagavad Gita discusses that path .Divinities association along with His associates , is so trancendentally intoxicating , and with grace and humility one can be fortunate to receive it , but not if we are proud of our morals, ethics and learning without God , or if we consider rather proudly, Divinity owes His love and reciprocation to us because of our practices . All pride has to go . If one feels himself low and unworthy , the highest consciousness of Divinity is attracted because in love, there is dependency.
So , cut glass or diamonds?
When one has a liking for diamonds, the cut glass is automatically discarded. By Chanting the names of Divinity in a humbled spirit, one can begin to enter the Pastimes and activities of the Lord .
One of the main purposes of the Vedic Varna Ashram system was to, in simple terms, make sure the right persons with the right qualities were to do the right occupation and that would benefit all of the society . Such is the natural and systematic social sciences that are already in place , there is no shortage of fitting persons only ignorance of who should be doing what . The beauty and benefits of the Vedic social systems that naturally occur in mankind and that Krishna has engineered purposely and its re-establishment is one of the prime purposes of ISKCON.
The importance of identifying the correct person is imperitive, if an electrical engineer were to tinker around with the neurons in your brain , or a plumber were to look into solving your bladder problems, that would be absurd.
Similarly, the Vedic systems find it absolutely unacceptable that the business class , today’s globalists , with the help of supposed administrative classes the political classes, who are claiming to represent the interests of humanity , but silence the intelligentsia in the form of independent scholars who have no particular political affiliations but who have the intelligence to call out fraudulent leaders and business leaders.
The business classes, unfortunately, run the media platforms and TV channels , and they have selective guests who think like they do or paid to do so .Modern media avoid airing the views of an independent intelligensia. The journalists today are all paid servants of the Globalists’ opinions , this is all too clear. Thus, where can a truth be found one might ask oneself ?
Scholars in various fields have been silenced a kind of cancel culture. The Vedic Brahminical class, who are also self realised theologians and scholarly philosophers , can very easily see through the plans of the persons who like to live and promote sophisticated animalism
Out of control business persons, with great dreams and assumptions of creating global wealth and good fortune for the world are simply based on misrepresented and hyped up trickle down economics , which in reality turn out , the way the world looks right now , most in poverty and the planet polluted with important forests cut down and destroyed , thei former inhabitants, the animals and birds with nowhere to go .
The Vedic cultures look entirely differently, with the emphasis on localised economics and national economics. This was based on the development of smaller economies, but working in synthesises, thus creating a network for the benefit and interactions of everyone. The administrative political class would see that everyone had fair dealing , compliance, and governance which was strict in order to avoid the risks of imbalance and encroachments, but a balance of free market economics was also kept in place .
Currently this out of balance world is legislated with light touch compliance and overly complex rules , giving wriggle room for crooks and cheating .
Commodities and currency markets are a hive of insider information and curruption. Extremely rich people take advantage of getting even richer , and then use their ill gotten gains unwisely, creating further disruption in the world.
The Vedic systems are predicted to return into society and a re-education, and a new awareness will develop. People will wise up, and the real intelligentsia will return to stabalise and put society straight.
