Why, because they are fully balanced in character and well read in philosophy, sciences , social sciences, political Science and theological sciences.
They fully understand the psychological needs of members of society and guide the social and spiritual mobility . They also have room for those due to their particular place within the modes of goodness, passion, and ignorance, namely those in lower modes, i.e.,ignorance , who need facilities for life . However , in Vedic culture, the lower modes and lifestyle never supercedes the higher modes, which exhibit the highest of freedoms within culture . In the name of freedom and democracy , the lower modes are seen to degrade society and cause pain and misery to everyone.
Fanatical kings , fanatical political leaders, or fanatical religious leaders have no place in Vedic culture, and it’s clear by a thorough understanding of all of the sciences who those fanatics are .
Everyone has their place, and all have rights , including the ants .
Rascals always need removing and they are ” Self effulgent ” by their behaviour , as are saintly persons who are everyone’s well wisher .
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has clearly outlined the Vedic themes. And in time they will be further researched , understood and the clear advantages to everyone will be clear to see .
Albert Einstein would say if you can’t explain things simply and in a short time , then you don’t understand them .
The founder acarya of ISKCON caused some controversy amongst the media in the USA in the 1960s pointing out that on average, men’s brains are larger than women’s brains.
Recently, studies show that male brains are typically 8-13% larger than female brains . This difference in size is not related to intelligence, as both male and female brains are, of course, similar, and it’s clear ladies and men are as equally intelligent in their own ways and also intelligence differs according to one’s karmic position and of course there are different types of intelligence . The Vedas indicates that the greatest use of intelligence is to have the wisdom and insights to be able to separate consciousness from matter . The objective world of dualism.
It’s the role that ladies play in modern times that have changed from former times . So has much in life and especially the economy. Everything is mighty expensive, and everyone is encouraged to become as rich as possible, and if you want a big house, big car , and big everything else, both mothers and fathers have to work hard . Schools and other educational institutions provide all kinds of directions to children and from an early age .
Ladies in historic times have always played an intelligent and important role in supporting their husbands and children, and they still do. In modern times however Vedic cultures can be and are adapted . The priorities and principles of ladies supporting their men , who do their duties properly, and work hard for the family is a good one, of course . It’s the essential that brings stabilised families that are healthy in body , mind, and spirit. With the mothers spending as much time as possible with their children. The choices are how much money we need , but equally how to give the best of times and security for the family.
So the Vedic life of simple living and high thinking with family orientated traditions and loyalties is good for everyone. Along with automatically further development in one’s consciousness without the hindrance of dealing with broken relationships and all that brings.
Modern life and liberalism can be troubling, especially if it’s centred around the speculations and teaching of Darwinian scientific materialism of one life, one death , so what the hell .
Srila Narrottama das Thakur, the Siksa Guru of Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, encourages us all to take to the mercy , and immediately so , of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu, putting down the baggage and burdens of our own Karmic synchronicities , to become an associate of Sri Sri Radha Krishna , making friends with Their freinds and taking up the process of Bhakti yoga .with great devotion . Once and for all be done with this material world. The material world will be what it will be ….
In the material world, we get the impression of eternal youthful enjoyment generations, and generations of them appear and are like waves rolling one after the other , but unfortunately in no time at all they crash to the shore . The ever new waves of trancendental bliss that Srila Narrottama das Thakur speaks of are forever rolling in the unlimited ocean of transcendental bliss in Goloka Vrndavana, one drop of this ocean can drown all the inhabitants of the material world in trancendental bliss http://www.thevedicspectator.com
1) I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krsna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.

Thus they are honored all over the three worlds and they are worth taking shelter of because they are absorbed in the mood of the gopis and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Radha and Krsna.

They can purify all conditioned souls from the reactions of their sinful activities by pouring upon them transcendental songs about Govinda. As such, they are very expert in increasing the limits of the ocean of transcendental bliss, and they are the saviors of the living entities from the devouring mouth of liberation.

In order to deliver the poor conditioned souls, they accepted loincloths, treating themselves as mendicants, but they are always merged in the ecstatic ocean of the gopis’ love for Krsna and bathe always and repeatedly in the waves of that ocean.

The Gosvamis are perfectly competent to bestow upon the living entities the greatest boon of the goal of life.

In this way they utilized their valuable lives and in executing these devotional activities they conquered over eating and sleeping and were always meek and humble enchanted by remembering the transcendental qualities of the Lord.

There they appeared just like madmen in the full ecstasy of love for Krsna, exhibiting different transcendental symptoms in their bodies, and they were merged in the ecstasy of Krsna consciousness.

O Lalita! O son of Nanda Maharaja! Where are you all now? Are you just on the hill of Govardhana, or are you under the trees on the bank of the Yamuna? Where are you?” These were their moods in executing Krsna consciousness.
For generations, the West had sought to shape the Middle East its way , but just recently, its ambitious reshaping has had a kick back, and not only in the Middle East . The unipolar world is no longer . There are other people living on the planet with different cultures, different traditions, and different theological outlooks. This is all quite natural in a world of diversity. Even locally, society and people’s thinking and outlooks differ . Theologically speaking, the Vedas say is due to karma, free will, and determinism…
In the spiritual kingdoms which are approximately two thirds greater in size that the millions of material universes there are no conflicts or wars , rather conflicts that cause trancendental bliss , when you understand how that can be , you have truely understood consciousness and its full potential and purpose…
The Krishna lila Kaliya serpent pastimes show how demoniac tendency can reside even in places that are thought to be Divine . The river Jamuna is certainly such a place, but Kaliya lived near its banks . The poisons emanating from him were so strong that the whole atmosphere became enveloped. The birds became affected just by flying above Kaliya’s lagoon , as all the surrounding areas became toxic . Eventually, Krishna resolved the issues, and the wives of Kaliya helped bring the serpent to his senses, as many good wives do to their husbands . In the scientific , political, or social sphere’s it just takes one or two persons to mislead and create misunderstanding and a poisonous atmosphere in religious , philisophical , political, or social structure develops and increases in toxicity. The Vedas define truths and correct calculations and warn against Kaliya like serpants who seek to do harm and pose as leaders or as an influencer . Ultimetely good always prevails , Krishna’s desire is always to give societies the best of good council, and that always eventually comes to pass , seek out His pure representatives. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Persons like Greta Thunberg , who have mounted demonstrations against ISRAEL, all glories to them all , have had a drip drip effect on our insensitive political leaders , who in reality need leading . One by one, leaders woke up to the demands of the people , and countries began to recognise Palestine.. Trump and the USA had no choice but to follow .. They had other plans . The Arabic states also had to respond, and like the USA , they let down the Palestinians, and 670000 citizens were killed , including 20000 children . Power to the people in this case worked, but it took two years . Netenyaho achieved nothing nor did the USA of EU .. Palestine will get its independence. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Divinity, the energetic source of the individual particles of consciousness . All living beings have the same consciousness energies , but they are expressed differently both in the spiritual and material world . When the energies of consciousness leave the energetic source , its full potential is not realised and is naturally dissipated . All these truths of the Supreme energetic source and the varigatedness energies are given in Bhagavad Gita , and the explanations and comments of the Gaudia Vaisnava’s make every thing clear . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada brought this wisdom to the USA in 1965. The rest is history.. See .. ” When energy separates from its source, it becomes dissipated, meaning it transforms into a less useful or “wasted” form, most often as heat, though sometimes as sound. This dissipated energy spreads out and is transferred to the surroundings, becoming difficult to use for other purposes, even though the total amount of energy is conserved. “ This scientific perspective is also applicable to spiritual consciousness . If it leaves the association of Divinity, the potential of consciousness is dissipated as it enters the self-centred material world, and its spiritual bliss is covered by any number of material combinations of matter . However, if it remains with the energetic source, it can also increase its own blissful consciousness energies , in the association of Divinity and other particles of consciousness who thrive in such a spiritual state .
Prarabdha , recent karma and aprarabdha karma , those that are connected to deeper states of consciousness are all removed ..by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s movement.
Srila BR Sridhar Swami says ..
“Karma is divided mainly into two divisions: prarabdha and aprarabdha. Prarabdha: karma that is attached to and to be finished in this body. Aprarabdha: karma that is reserved for a future life.”
The very deepest states of a mind and its working stem from deep impressions and attitudes from long, long ago , from previous lives, and they are not easily given up . Those called aprabdha karma . A material mind can be a minefield of unpredictability. Recently accumulated impressions and actions called prarabdha karma fluctuate more regularly in the conditioned consciousness but are also intertwined with deeper long-lasting impressions caused by events good or bad in many earlier previous lives .
These deeper states of the mind are aprarabdha karmas . As before said they are either connected to some previous spiritual searchings or a deeper cultural searchings or they can be troublesome reactions and attachments connected to self-centred ignorance that have been previously developed many lives ago .. i.e., previous negativity we may have inflicted on others .
The Gaudia Vaisnava movement under the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His leading followers , Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami have uniquely given remedies to remove both types of Karma in all their subtle makeups that inevitably would lead to either gross attachments to the material world or the further striving for impersonal liberation or mystic powers. Mahaprabhu has immediately granted the Suddha Satva pure Krishna consciousness state that will clean the heart of all the dust and dirt of countless lives .Thus, one can become quickly free from all types of karma as well as all types of speculations or desire for mystic powers that are caused by previous deep-seated independence from God .
By engaging positively in Bhakti Yoga, everything of the prarabdha karma is quickly removed , those of the recently produced karmic synchronicities. And by engaging in much deeper meditation and Bhajan , Chanting the Holy names and crucially studying and reading the books of the Rasika acaryas , along with their descriptions of Radha Krishna Nitya Lila , will throughly removes all the deeper previous karmic impressions aprarabdha karma.
The regular Hindu followers do not understand these prarabdha and aprarabdha aspects of karmic reactions that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu movement is eradicating . However, this is the full glory of Mahaprabhu’s teachings and the unique benediction offered . The potency and magnanimity of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is His special mercy , which is causeless and is offered to one and all . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains very extensively in his books all these points.
Previously to Charles Darwin , the intelligentsia of the UK had a close affiliation to theological and philosophical thoughts.. The atheistic had little room to manoeuvre .Universities both Cambridge and Oxford had been set up by theological thinkers who were curious quite naturally of how the universe functions as well as all the goings on within the living beings . In the course of time, atheistic persons took the helm and steered society towards Darwin in dishonest ways , presenting guesses as fact based science. A brain drain developed, and schools and universities were the targets of the atheistic to indoctrinate students yo their way of thinking and their world veiw , scientific materialism took hold . A dark and exploitative period in British history in philisophical and objective sciences terms , as society shaped itself for …one life , one death , there is no God or any intelligence in the universe ……so you can do as you like when you like , extremists in liberalism was born and they multiplied. Fortunately, things are returning to sanity , and blind following of Darwinian hypothesis is dying a death along with scientific materialism. True objective sciences are in vouge, and when Sir Fred Hoyle said that someone has monkeyed with the universe so many years ago …..peoples are understanding why he said it .
Further ..
Is it not a fact that the very reasons the kings and Queens of England were taken out of power are the same reasons why our political classes should very removed from office , and placed back under the control of an honest king or Queen, who answer to the intelligentsia , an intelligentsia expert in philisophical thoughts , sciences and theological cultures that are centred around the development of consciousness, rather than just a temporary material body ? http://www.thevedicspectator.com
