The Vedic principle of taxation are that the businessmen or traders work , as they should , but under the supervision of the king , certain standards and expectations were imposed , the king was guided by the intelligensia , who fall into various categories , Brahminical persons, scholars or Vipras and the Vaisnava acaryas and teachers . The businessman work with God’s energies and using God’s parts and parcels , who are their employees , and they create their profits by goods and services . The king , in truth , represents God , and the businessmen have to pay in the material world for the right of using God’s energies . When the king collects the taxes and uses them in ways that are spiritually and materially beneficial , then the tax payer benefits by engaging indirectly in the services of God .
These are the governance systems of Divinity , currently, everything is adrift , the ungodly steal from Divinity , and do not recognise the world as owned by Divinity , scientific materialism is the name of their game . Such demoniac persons pay minimum taxes to their representatives and often avoid them . They pay them to those who have agendas written for them by the atheistic businessmen who fund their political parties . The international society of Krishna consciousness is a society that is able to see and clearly point out just how social sciences function correctly.
In the world of global conglomerates and libertine monopolies , big business becomes so huge and internationally based that no one government can control them. Instead of administrative bodies , who are supposed to be moral , ethical ,and following standards , and who should carry out beneficial activities for the general population , on behalf of Godly pursuits , the business owners and their financial sectors have effectively become the perverted kings , look at the world. They silence the intelligentsia and continue in their world of encroachment and exploitation .The political democracies are their servants’ The needs of the people are nothing to them , in fact, to the demon businessmen, most of the people are unwanted. They stir up hated and divide in societies and convince their followers that their fellow men are a waste of space and should be rejected of thrown out the country .
Krishna in Bhagavad Gita reminds us of the qualities of demons and their symptoms and behaviour.

Oil in oil or oil in water .
From the one comes the many.
To consider fundamental Vedic truths, one could begin by looking at evidence that can be practically examined . The supreme Brahman has become many , and His energies , which are also Brahman, permeate everywhere , this is the statement of the Vedas. Nothing is separate from the supreme Brahman . For instance , we can examine microbial intelligence , of course, microbes are living , but what do we mean by living ? Living means there must be a display of intelligence , studies have been conducted of microbes and their specific behaviour . Its been recorded that they exhibit defensive behaviour and make choices for the best option . The growth of plants and trees have been similarly studied , plant life work their way around objects that block their path , and they even respond to music in positive ways . These witnessed examples of intelligence are totally baffling to those who advocate scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis. Only the Vedas gives the logical and rational answer, which are objectively observed . Intelligence comes from intelligence . Life comes from life . There is no way to avoid the obvious . Biologically and chemically , molecules don’t move towards life . Coded information instilled and transmitted by consciousness brings molecules together.
The Vedic description of the source of everything and everyone , two different features of Brahman , are manifested by the supreme Brahman ,and this is clearly described and explained as personal . From one energetic personal source comes the many fragments , and each is facilitated accordingly . The separated energies are different from their source and dependent on the original source , but at the same time, one with it , so non different .The energetic source also expands infinite amounts of multifarious energies that support the consciousness particles . Their karmic synchronicities and their wonderings within matter are automatically and personally taken care of . These energies are described in the Vedas as being superior, marginal , and inferior in nature . Everything about energy is eternal , even material energies are so , but they transform , nothing is lost , this is so because the energies origins are from the eternal. The spiritual superior energy remains unchanged.
The incalculable complexities , and we can say mysterious workings , of the material energies can be and should be easily seen and recognised for what they are , as for example , one acorn tree , in its life how many acorns will it produce ? and within each acorn, how many more trees are present ? They are totally baffling to atheistic scientific thinkers, and they remain clueless . Although pumping out propaganda that they are close to understanding everything and cheating sciences .
Everything within nature is interconnected and originated from one one source that has the ability to manifest specifically in measured ways throughout the universe.These arrangements are, of course , far too complex to be happening by chance random and unguided mutations within nature , or within a chance explosion that fell into place perfectly .We have a creative intelligence and mind , and so does God , God of the gaps, arguments always avoid the mind and intelligence, an energy that is clearly manifested . There are also manifested laws of nature , gravitational forces , radiation at specific strengths , and electromagnetic energies, which are precisely in order , any variations would halt all life entirely. The proud atheistic persons put common sense and a sense of rationale to one side and deliberately practice psychological cancel culture. The cancellation of logic to suit an atheistic agenda.
Mutational math modelling is never presented by the Darwinians.
If one understands scientific dualism that clearly illustrates mind , matter, and consciousness , one can then begin to understand the responsive universe and its purpose and source . The universe is a reflection of something substantial . The substantial reality remains , while reflections come and go .
The parallels within the Vedas are “the many possibilities in the world of quantum physics,” where entrapped and attached consciousness particles carry themselves endlessly within the cyclic cycles of the commings and goings of universal affairs , by their consciousness and desire .They get what they want to be life after life .
Each pleasure seeking particle of consciousness is on a journey to find satisfaction, but they are never really satisfied by atoms , elements, or compounds , or being entrapped within a flickering mind and a limited intellect that tries to exploit such energies.
Consciousness needs to be surrounded by pure conscious energies . Like oil within oil , currently we are oil within water .

Of course every culture has its particular ways and internal arrangements regarding ethical and moral affairs , and to a degree they can be accepted internally …but the laws of the land are originally based on theological cultures….so there will be broad agreements and they must be followed wherever one is living . However, differences will be internally played out , for instance attitudes to divorce , or sex within or outside marriage, abortions , gay sex , etc etc , are treated differently in each culture…and can be and will be looked at differently within cultures and religious followings .
But anyone can step out of their particular cultures if they like …ie.
If someone has an affair and then divorce , or if a girl has sex outside marriage , or is gay , the British laws and general society allow for it , there can be no private laws within cultures that can impose a penalty or punishment for doing so . Morality and the benefits of it psychologically and to protect families are spoken of in every theological culture , but however it can not be insisted upon with threats of violence..…as some fanatical followers might want to ….Both the Jewish and Islamic faith as well as smarta Brahminical classes , can at times , at least some of them , can assume themselves superior , and chosen people,and that the rest of the population are low life ..this is the exact opposite consciousness of a truely godly person..
When one thinks himself superior religiously , such persons can give themselves a licence to do anything…Gazza is the prime example , or Islamic persons can do so-called honour killings ..and in Hinduism a birth means no social or spiritual mobility is allowed.Everyone should follow the rule of the government and the laws of the land in the country they live in , whether East or West… there can not be laws within laws . Multicultured societies are fine , but there are limits and restrictions on an insistence by some on how other individuals might choose to live within them , if its within the law, so be it .

To satisfy the unlimited and emaculate senses of Krishna , there is a recruitment campaign going on throughout the universes. The supreme Nayaka, the Supreme Autocrat , needs His ever increasing greed for rasa satisfying . The increasing ocean of trancendental bliss is forever expanding , and such trancendance is continually being shared . The trancendental qualities of Krishna have no limits , and it’s the nature of beauty bliss and knowledge to want a further audience , which sparks further ecstacy . Krishna has many, many relationships , but the Supreme Nayika , Srimati Radharani , understands Krishna well . We can not stand before Krishna or understand Him alone , we would burn up , says Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. In fact , the hard hearted and artificial male enjoying spirit full of egotistical dominance has to be halted to enter the land of Goloka Vrndavana . The fraudulent enjoyment of matter is the reason for the possession of the material body. It is ruthless and self-centred , even if one purports to be a helping sensitive hand , its said to be extended sense gratification , in forgetfulness of God . We must learn of the Supreme Nayaka , Krishna , from the supreme Nayika , Radharani . Her soft sensitive and kind nature , the natural female spirit , She is expert at the sixty four arts , and with the absence of a strong egotistical spirit for dominance , unless it pleases Krishna , but rather she is always making arrangements in cheerful and humourous ways in increasing the blissful life of Krishna. Serving in unconditional pure love , those emaculate senses of Krishna . So , to understand these spiritual truths, they must be learned from the Supreme Nayika Srimati Radharani . Such love that Srimati Radharani possesses is supremely sweet and the greatest aspects of the whole of the spiritual and material planes . It attracts the supremely attractive Krishna , and there is an eternal competition between Radha and Krishna in Their ever turbulent loving affairs , within village of Vrndavana , where Krishna has His family and male friends who also have incomprehensible devotion that they reciprocate in love exclusively with Krishna . Srimati Radharani is the Queen of Vrndavana , in the sense of Rasa , and everything in Vrndavana is assisting Her in pleasing Krishna in one way or another . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has come to reveal the heart and nature of Srimati Radharani and , in doing so , teach the process of the highest devotional ecstacy , whilst at the same time , Krishna tries to understand something of the glories of the unlimited heart of the Hlandini Sakti personified, Srimati Radharani for Himself.
Prakrita and Purusha .
There is only one Purusha , one supreme Karmani , the supreme male , everyone is female , or we can say there is the one enjoyer and the unlimited enjoyed .
Śrīla Gour Govinda Swami explains that Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the supreme viṣaya (the object of love and sole enjoyer, bhoktā), while Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the supreme āśraya (the reservoir of love and the enjoyed, upabhogya). Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu descended to unite these dual emotional states, taking the golden complexion and internal mood of Rādhārāṇī to taste His own sweetness

How do you know you know ?How do you know you know you know
Many aspects of the Vedas can be corroborated scientifically and veiwed easily as part of observed objective sciences . Explanations within the Vedas of many kinds of unexplained phenomena exist . Everything makes sense if one applies the Vedic teachings to ones’ life . Including why bad things happen to good people , providing one also applies the logic of one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong . Fanaticism is condemned in Vedic circles . In terms of our current scientific community , we have supposed knowledge of a world driven in random ways as postulated within scientific materialism , or Darwinian hypothesis and it has no basis of reality when it comes to objectively contemplating our scientific word . Currently political systems are inflicting unnecessary suffering on billions , the UK has had seven prime ministers in ten years and Peru ten in seven years , democracies do not represent people, they represent business interests of a few . The obvious is stubbornly ignored by those attached to conditioned thinking in political or scientific matters , this stems from pride and selfish interests. In the world of sciences , the explanation of the origins of the information in the DNA codes , and the witnessed highly organised engineering taking place along with these complex and deliberate informational exchanges , whilst every single species of life is built , needs careful considerations using both logic and rationale . The Vedas indicates that only when a consciousness particle is injected into a womb life formations begin , life comes from life . Its beginnings are objectively seen , the primordial soup is not , and dispite experiments within the most sophisticated laboratories . Following the introduction of consciousness is a highly complex process of engineering when the two parents’ DNA mix to form a gross body . There are , however, three different suble minds brought together. The mum, the dad, and the new recruit to the material world mix minds and intellect . Of course its a fact that molecules don’t move towards life , and the information contained within the codes logically implies creative energies . Information does not spring from nowhere , the information and its sources and multifarious energies are spoken of in the Vedas .
Also..
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are recognized in scientific literature as a relatively common, albeit not fully understood, phenomenon that affects an estimated 10% to 20% of the population at least once in their lifetime. While they are often described in spiritual terms, researchers generally define them as complex dissociative or perceptual experiences rather than a physical departure from the body.
The Vedas have the full explanation in the third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam , and in other parts of the Vedas, one can make a study to understand mind , body and consciousness and how they interact with the help of authorities.
When we dream at night, we are speaking , hearing, and acting sensually, but we have forgotten of the other body lying in bed or our daytime relationships . This ethereal energy that entraps the minds energies and creates forms of both subtle and gross matter are given explanations with the Vedas . The causes of the transmigration of the consciousness into another body are the minds desires and how a living being uses a mind , along with a set of senses one thing leads to another , one body leads to another , the observer effects of quantum physics and the many possibilities have been revealed by Bohr and Schrödinger.
Science is seen as an authority, you either accept someone like Richard Dawkins or Lea Cronin, or you can accept Vedic scholars . The same process of acceptance of authority of scholarship is in each culture of the sciences , either the Vedic or the Dawkins.. Why accept the guessing of Dawkins ?
But how do you know they know ?…. The Vedic authorities are based on objective sciences, and strong evidence of logic is applied that can be clearly examined and studied . Those authorities from scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis camps appear to all sense and purposes as highly speculative and without logic , and that’s a fact .

Socialism in every respect is the Vedic way . It’s a perfected system of governance that allows for and produces social and spiritual mobility . These fundermentals are based on self-evident truths , the truth of the equality of all beings , and a respect of their individual rights , as well as a knowledge of their choices and freedoms within some imposed limits. Freedoms to express themselves as well , beyond a fixed karma , karmic laws have flexibility . Thus, through sacrifice and atonement , everything shifts , a lack of sacrifice and atonement also shifts things , but not for the better . In life , what should be good, can become bad , and what could have been bad becomes good . Naturally , an inclusive and understanding attitude towards other countries and their cultures sit well within Vedic visions . There should be no more , and should have never been , exploitative trade deals that forced persons and families to flood into the exploiting countries looking for a means of maintenance . We have seen this for the last hundred years , the colonists were demoniac in nature and cared little for others , although they claimed they were Christian . Good trade deals and sharing of technologies means no immigration . What’s done is done , but now fix it with the intelligentsia . Trickle-down global economics is a pie in the sky . The Vedic intelligentsia see to it that education and opportunities are readily available , including in other countries . The highly cultured look to share always their good fortune and seek to benefit all . The greatest of cultures act like that , the worst are the opposite , setting cheating, and deceit as standard practice and silencing truth whenever it arises . In current times , we are led by the leaders of the ” free world,” This is a deceit in itself . In every historic culture, the intelligentsia are challenged by those of lower grade consciousness . We should know that the best of men and ladies must be educators and leaders because the best of the best of life’s opportunities must be taught in societies to everyone , and the highly cultured person has that to offer and its not selfish materialism . Lower types of consciousness and lower lifestyles should be facilitated but carefully administered , so as learning can develop , they are not to lead society . Currently, we see lower grades of what are sophisticated animals leading the world . The Vedas , in its many details , covers all practical topics in life , particularly the Artha sastra as well as Dharma sastra , For instance, it allows for honest , free market economics that are primarily locally based , with only the essentials imported . The Vedas encourage countries to depend on themselves and their own traditions with local leaders . There should be no political or cultural interferences from other nations who seek to exploit and do harm . Governments should never lose independence or be centralised by other nations .
Capitalism today is sold as free market economics , but it is not so . Monopolies are the global conglomerates’ strategies , they want everyone to depend on them , and the big countries seek to swallow up smaller ones . The narratives of the libertine globalists are cheating the public and other leaders of countries . They say that their capitalism is creating wealth for all the world and lifting it out of poverty . Quite the opposite . Truth is , nature provides everything for every creature , every one is fed , clothed , and housed and can live happily when they remain closely aligned to natures ways and are relying on localised economies and localised workforces with localised governments.
Worldwide trading has become so ludicrous that someone in the UK exports popcorn to the USA . A person buying his bread in the UK has it brought by a lorry hundreds of miles away from his hometown , and the wheat is imported from a country thousands of miles away . The major financial systems have become far too centralised and monopolised . The stock and currency markets, as well as worldwide commodities market and currency markets, have been designed to suit a few insiders and are clearly corrupted by insider information . The world is so very , very far away from free markets and fair trade . Central governments allow light touch regulations , and plenty of instant internet trading goes on with shares rising or falling in micro seconds . For those who actually monopolise such markets , they are doing very nicely , thank you . They effectively have centralised capitalism and worldwide financial industries . These crooked fellows are working with unintelligent and crooked governments , and between them are controlling capitalism lock stock and barrel . This currupt system has been sold to the public that ” greed is good and that the benefits of greed will trickle down to everyone all over the world.” The reality is plane to see . Such ruthless capitalism benefits the most greedy of persons or countries at the cost of the environment and the lives and prosperity of others . It is responsible for totally unfair trade deals , and it causes poverty and wars , with rich countries fighting over limited resources that will inevitably run dry in no time . Such unfortunate worldwide situations are instigated by the capitalist and their political freinds , who they sponsor and fund . Currently, these demons are desperate for precious minerals and precious earth , essential for computer science.
The unthinking capitalists should never have a free run and have any influence on political affairs . Rather, the Vedic societies were thankful for money makers , who built localised economies , but they were legislated against and contolled . When encroachments were seen to be happening in Vedic cultures in any circumstances , immediately , it is halted .The goals of life were consciousness and cultural development , this is the Vedic way.
The communist idea was utilised in Vedic culture but only in the sense of the equality of all beings . Also , the general overview that ultimately everything is the property of God , and everything needs to be used in harmonious ways . At the same time, ownership was encouraged along with sensitivities and care . Greed and encroachment were a no-no .

The jivas or spirit souls receive their material bodies within the material universes via Mahavishnu . These are almost robotic or surreal forms that are programmed and conditioned according to previous karmic impositions as such further karmic synchronicities are inacted . There is room for maneuvers , thus free will and determinism takes place , everything is directly carried out by Mahavisnu along with His expansions and energies. However, in the spiritual realms in the association of krishna and with the direct Svarupa Sakti of Krishna , their spiritual forms are manifested which have complete freedom , there is only spontaneous love towards Krishna and no karmic synchronicities involved. Together all these karmic synchronicities make up quite a world , a huge and endless variety of talent and living beings with unlimited qualities materialism is also unlimited, its the energy of the unlimited. Mahavishnu has endless universes to choose which jiva goes where , perfect Divine Ai and algorithmic processes.
Spiritual Manifestation vs. Material Creation. The Material World is (Maya) , when seen separately from Divinity . Mahavishnu creates the material cosmos and implants the conditioned jivas within it .The glance of Mahavisnu . Gross and subtle material elements cover the pure soul. The jiva forgets their true spiritual identity due to material attachment and entanglements . They need a rescue remedy, and Krishna arranges such rescues and enlightenment. Within the Spiritual Worlds (Vaikuntha / Goloka The internal potency (svarupa-sakti) of the Lord acts as the direct cause of acquiring our spiritual forms . An eternal, spiritual form (svarupa) free from material influences . The jiva engages directly in loving blissful relationships with Radharani , Krishna , and their family and associates and they have full awareness of their eternal relationship . Back home back to Godhead, Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami would say.

A place of belonging and of learning to love .
Bg. 15.7
ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूत: सनातन: ।
मन:षष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृतिस्थानि कर्षति ॥ ७ ॥mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke
jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ
manaḥ-ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi
prakṛti-sthāni karṣatiTranslation
The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.
Everyone has a sense of belonging. This is situated inherently within the deepest parts of our psychological makeup . As soon as we come out of the womb, we begin identifying with our parents , and we begin the process of learning to love , but we also to a degree spontaneously love and feel attractions . The material body and its subtle makeup are almost pre- programmesd to accept and reject . Theological students examine the material conditioning and, through meditations, prayers , service attitudes, and knowledge rise above previous karmic impositions . Spiritual life means a spiritual and scientific search , as well as utilising the expertise of those that have gone before us to find the ultimate source of all that be and to meet . Many have crossed the river of knowledge from the material to the spiritual planes on the boat of knowledge and have sent the boat back so it can be used by others . In jnana yoga and contemplative consciousness , one easily instinctively knows consciousness is a lot more than neurons firing in the brain, its not the nature driven survival of the fittest instincts being played out that are stemming from primordial mutations that originated in a primordial soup.
Krishna, in the Vedas has been described as the Supreme Personality of Godhead He is the supreme proprietor and the original cause of all causes , He possesses innumerable qualities and multiples of varigated energies both superior spiritual energies and inferia pe say material energies and is the master of them . When we are born , we instinctively love our parents to degrees , but love is also a learning experience . In spiritual life , learning to love is an important factor . If we learn to love Krishna He will immediately reciprocate , after all , love is all about reciprocation , however, it’s not a business deal . Unconditional love takes one to unlimited spiritual planes . There are no limits in love because the object of love Krishna is unlimited , as is Srimati Radharani , Radha Krishna are the origins of the abode and object of eternally situated , ever increasing, and ever new spiritual love . It’s those very factors that should draw us ever closer to spiritual consciousness and particularly Krishna consciousness, and all the trancendental mystery it brings that unfold day by day.

The living being is Brahman , and He is allowed by another portion of Brahman to falsely dominate yet another portion of Brahman , Srila Jiva Goswami says the word Pratima means , that which creates a limitation for another object . The living being Brahman dominance of another portion of Brahman continues until such time when he realses everything is Brahman . From that platform, he can begin to realise the supreme Brahman from whom all of Brahman originate from . He realises the one supreme Brahman has become many , but in doing so , He has remained the Supreme Brahman , and exists with unlimited trancendental qualities within spiritual kingdoms , that are full of spiritual varigatedness where unlimited blissful pastimes are eternally exhibited with the Supreme Brahman’s eternal associates, and thus in full devotional love the tiny expansion of Brahman , the part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman can take up his rightful place where consciousness is intended to be The part and parcel Brahman assumes his spiritual form in direct relationship with the Supreme Brahman , and like a green parrot flying into a green tree renders all kinds of services. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed the tattva of the soul as simultaneously one and different from Divinity..Importantly Mahāprabhu has revealed Lord Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Brahman.
The Supreme Brahman has unlimited qualities and unlimited personality and spiritual forms , the Svarupa Sakti manifestation of Bhagavan . The supreme Brahman is the origin of all forms and activities.

The “modern day Nama Acarya speaks “
“Aindra Prabhu’s Teachings on chanting , Aindra Prabhu frequently cited predecessor teachers like Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, noting that chanting for money, fame, or to impress an audience (bhukti-nama) reduces sacred chanting to a worldly business or sense gratification . He maintained that kirtan is a free-for-all expression of love for Krishna, not a theatrical performance with tickets, drama, or the intent to captivate wealthy crowds. Pure Name vs. Resemblance: He emphasized shuddha-nama (the pure name) sung in deep separation and surrender, contrasting it with commercialized or superficial chanting that fails to awaken true spiritual devotion (bhakti) in the heart . Aindra lived an intensely austere life as a renunciate at the Krishna-Balaram Mandir, sustaining the continuous 24-hour sankirtan without treating it as a paid job or career. Handling Donations: When pilgrims or well-wishers left money near his instruments out of respect, he would promptly have it placed directly into the temple’s official deity donation box rather than keeping it for personal gain. Funds for service: While funds were occasionally collected or accepted strictly to maintain the physical necessities of ongoing temple projects and feeding programs (like Food for Life), the chanting itself was never bartered, sold, or performed as a paid service.KIRTAN . For Aindra Prabhu, kirtan was never a social event or a musical performance; it was a pure, internal offering to Sri Sri Radha-Shyamasundara.
He taught generally..
Shared Devotion . Kirtan is not a performance meant for an audience and a star . It is a circle of equals where hearts open together in harmony . Both leader and follower dissolve their egos into the sound vibration. Never mind ripe mangos or unripe , a mango is a mango .Placing unripe mangoes (or other climacteric fruits) next to ripe ones causes them to ripen faster because ripe fruit releases Ethylene, a natural plant hormone gas that triggers ripening in nearby produce.
