In Vedic Culures, the unfathomable complexities of living beings are spoken of , not just in human life but also throughout the 8400000 species of life, 400,000 of which are ” humanoids “
Generally , it is said that good and pious activities bring greater facilities . These include and are in terms of beauty , wealth , widom and insights , particular talents ,intelligence , etc, etc . If such facilities are offered back in services to humanity and ultimately Divinity Himself , a further progressed state of consciousness ensues . This gives an opportunity to reach the Lands of Divinity Himself . He who has supremely cultured consciousness along with spiritual blissful emotions and emaculate beauty with spiritual senses .
The problems come when those who have karmically earned good credits and opulences become intoxicated by such gifted opulences . They can become proud and exploitative . In that condition , great offences and harm to others might take place , and instead of elevation of consciousness , on the back of pious credit , an opportunity is wasted and one takes a step back in the great consciousness journey to Divinity.
In the same way , someone can quickly rise in their consciousness, even though initially born with lesser facilities . They can become humble and learned , if their life is led according to Vedic directions. An association with the good and great is possible for the humble . Spiritual and material mobility works both ways , with plenty of swings and roundabouts or snakes and ladders going on .
Pick up Bhagavad Gita as it is Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all .
The Srimad Bhagavatam delves even deeper into these topics , the science of consciousness and the responsive universe..
It’s interesting to note how the Smriti of the Gaudia Vaisnavas greatly expanded during and after the appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Mahāprabhu Himself taught by example and accepted the Smriti of Jayadeva Goswami and Bilvamangala Thakur as well as Candi das .. The essential elements of Sruti and Smriti greatly increase the understanding of Krishna consciousness , nothing is seperate from Krishna and everything Krishna does from His activities on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra to his pastimes in Vraja can be meditated and thought about, in fact they are eternally manifest , throughout billions of universes both spiritual and material. Our activities are finished in a moment, Krishna’s activities are not subjected to the atoms ,elements, compounds, or modes of psychological nature, which are all evaporated forever by time . The intimately connected devotees are able to assist us in our spiritual journeys by bringing us the Smriti , the windows to the spiritual plane , not by reading alone , but by Krishna’s mercy through the chanting of his names , which are the means and the end . By the mercy of those great Acaryas also , we may, by grace , get some trancendental insights of the life of Krishna and His devotees. Srila Rupa Goswami describes the process beginning with hearing and chanting about the names. forms , qualities, and pastimes of Krishna and His associates. Then, smaranam deeper and deeper meditation and remembrances, and much further details are given by Srila Rupa Goswami of deeper aspects of what you could say is ‘ pure Astanga ‘ saturated with unalloyed Bhakti . Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates a spiritually mentally conceived spiritual body interacting in the eternal spiritual planes are indicated by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana and by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu who came to teach by example. Krishna’s words in the Bhagavad Gita ” Think of Me become My devotee “Krishna’s form is absolute when we think or chant or remember Him he can become fully present to us by grace “
With Australia making a bid to protect young children on the WWW.
One may ask why has the “tech Giant’s ” not already done that ?
Some may say it is because of money making ..
But that is not the only reason…Tech Giants are super libeterians and believe themselves a product of nature , they think we should follow our mind and senses anywhere they want to go . They also allow many libeterians to be let loose on the WWW. They feel that libeterians have the right to influence your kids in any way they like, and your kids have the right to associate with them . This so-called freedom model that binds and addicts children to the unpleasant side of conditioned human nature absolutely needs regulating. It’s 20 years too late . The unintelligent political classes themselves need regulating by the real intelligensia who easily see the dark energies on line . There are different classes of persons, some divine , some demoniac, and some in-between.. Would you let your children play with anyone ? Thus, scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis, when grabbed by the wrong people who dominate and influence, are troublesome. They must be stopped. That’s the Vedic way .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The mysterious conditions of action in inaction ,and inaction in action are discussed by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita.
The more influential a person is , and those influences are fluctuating according to many conditions and trends of the day , in a highly moral setting an immoral person is ignored and likewise in a highly immoral settings a moral person is ignored. With the current state of the world, immoral and highly materialistic persons have control over all kinds of influential tools, which are stamping their mark deep into the impressions of everyone’s psychological states . We can also say scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has greatly helped with the concept of one life one death no God, do as you will .However, the Vedas brings us the reality of the responsive universe , and bear in mind some physicists wont disagree , especially those who study quantum mechanics. What you might do and might say and that affects others in various ways is your responsibility , the Vedas says , and the effects that are felt by others remain with you . Ultimately ,in many unforseen ways, the universal order is at work. There are many witnesses the Vedas say unbeknown to everyone , the Demigods , the Upadevas , who have ways and means of making observations are described in the Vedas . The observer effects in the realms of quantum mechanics can be considered , any interaction with matter has effects well beyond an immediate cause and effect . Ultimately, Divinity Himself is situated within the hearts and minds of all , He is the supreme witness and the best of listeners and the best advisors . Trancendental life entails becoming free from any of the good and bad actions that bind one to the material energies . Although good is good and better than bad , it’s still not a trancendental action . In trancendental activities good can be bad and bad can be good . That needs to be understood with trancendental maturity . Krishna explains all in His Bhagavad Gita.
Acting exclusively for the pleasure of the Lord and His associates is something written of in the Vedas and learned from a pure devotee who is completely free from the universal cyclic cycles.
Bhagavad Gita gives the summary of this science of freedom from action . Krishna says . ” One who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is wise among beings.”
Be sure …
Be sure you are being influenced by the right influencer .
So many seek to influence us for their own selfish interests , and many claim to know the truth of any given topic . How do they know they know .
What is their epistemology, or what are their motives importantly what is their state of heart .
Bhagavad Gita indicates the symptoms of true expression and the qualities of those that express it .
Living objectively is important, but also accessibility to a super subjective realm and an origin of absolute truth is an essential , the Vedas indicates. .
Love and lust
The most essential feeling a child must have is love ..
Its the inherant nature of consciousness to love and be loved .
The origins of these feelings stem from Divinity… The further one strays from Divinity , love turns to lust . The lust to be an independent enjoyer, it’s an artificial and impossible position. Divinity Himself is the supreme autocrat and the most giving of all persons , when it comes to love, no one can give more or receive more . Although some say in trancendental truths that the Supreme Goddess of fortune is the supreme giver and recipient of love , and that Krishna Himself is always searching searching searching after Radharani. There is an eternal competition of love taking place , and Hare Krishna means “an exchange of love “
The earth globe is situated mid range within the upper and lower fourteen planetary systems, and according to some commentaries, it holds certain influences. From this planet, one may rise to the higher or lower planets within the planetary systems.
Taking control of this planet has its effects on other parts of the universe in the sense of the influences that could occur , the inhabitants of this earth each move to different locations and can greatly influence events , according to who ends up where .
The Vedic literature describes the battle between the divine and demoniac. Its also said when Lord Krishna or Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu come to the earthly realms the Demigods are queuing up to take birth for its from this planet one can become freed from desires for opulences that the Demigods are “plagued ” with .
The Demons don’t like it when this planet becomes overly divine because their universal influences could be affected .Sometimes devotees have the upper hand Sometimes the demons .
When Krishna appeared 5000 years ago, many universal demons appeared as well to disrupt Krishna’s work .Such demons have powers and exhibited them in many extraordinary ways . When Krishna appears here on this planet, it attracts the universal demons to attempt to ignorantly curb the Lord . There are many covert reasons why some particular demons can have the power to face off with Krishna, which are discussed in the Vedas , and histories go back a long way .
Some demons were localised and had taken birth in Royal families, an easy way to grab the reigns of power .
Although the demons with such extraordinary powers can also be thought to represent our own demons of lust , anger, greed , envy, and illusion about our standing , still greater and tremendously powerful demons exist in the multidimensional aspects of the universe.
So in reading the Bhagavatam we cannot limit ourselves merely to three demential space .
We should not view these events as allegorical per se . Also, what one particular person may experience others might not , although they may be present.
When Krishna was told that Bramha had come to see Him , He replied, “Which Bramha ?”
Lord Bramha was surprised, so Krishna simultaneously showed our Lord Bramha hundreds of others, some with greater powers and heads that he , they were all in the same room .
When Lord Krishna showed his universal form , only two people saw it .
The discussions on the attempted insults on Draupadi could also be looked at perhaps in this context : Did Bhishmadeva see these events , who was the upholder of religion, maybe not .Yet others maybe could because they desired to act sinfully. Within Krishna lila, many unfathomable events occur .
The battle feild of Kurukshetra could not have facilitated so many warriors in three dementions.
The British Empire were so devious that they set up a Sanskrit college in Hertfordshire in order to try to master the complexities of the language, which they failed to do , and then they reintroduced misinterpreted scripts to try to usurp the great Vedic culture which was full of wealth ,and knowledge of dualism . The tainted misinterpreted teachings of Christianity and scientific materialism were what the British failed to institute in India .The British were so in awe of India that they thought this intelligent culture must have come from the white man. So they brought in the idea that in the past the superior white man had bred with the ” Indian natives .. The British were thrown out . But time moves in different ways empires come and go. The USA is now finding the unipolar moment has passed with the USA dominate , Certainly, the British brought things that were destined , like the modern world . But now the ancient cultures are using modern technologies and reestablishing ancient cultural values, turning the tables on them . This is all the arrangement of Divinity.
In Gaudiya Vaisnavism, one’s service to the pure devotee is essential and comes in many forms, but ones own personal bhajan and understandings of Sri Guru along with the previous acaryas through their writings and teachings is essential , that in one sense is the greatest service . From there, many things either in this life or the next spring forth .
The clue of the purposes of ISKCON can be found in photographs of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja welcoming members of the British Raj to his Gaudia Math in the 1930s , making many special provisions for them , and also in the same manner welcoming many Western scholars and intellectuals. The attempts for Srila Bhaktivinod Thakurs’ vision of Devi Varna Ashram had begun . Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj disciple Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami , having spent a life of study and seven years living in retirement in Vrndavana preparing for his mission took his Guru Maharajas’ messages all over the world , they are still reverberating and expanding . Anyone can connect whatever ones condition or status in life and fulfil life’s ultimate purposes.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja has brought the complete , more complete, and most complete messages of Godhead..
When Krishna appeared 5000 years ago he exhibited His full personality , which is the most complete in spontaneous love within Vraja , and exhibited fully only in the company of Srimati Radharani and Her friends.
Krishna exhibited his desire to establish religious principles in his pastimes in Mathura ,Dwarka and in Kurukshetra.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja brings full knowledge of the complete , more complete and most complete by his practical preaching activities of challenging materialism in very strong ways, as well as deviations from legitimate spiritual practices, no speculations or “add ons ” were tolerated .
But he also, on a number of occasions, revealed indirectly his most intimate spiritual position , that of Radha Dasyam , in Manjari bhava.
Like Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj had concerns for the world and as well he had ultimate personal deeply spiritual concerns for his services with the eternal realms of Vrndavana , executed with confidentiality in Srimati Radharani’s services , but in another form .
His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has made an attempt to use the educational systems of the Vedas and create a world free from the ignorance of scientific materialism and all that brings . In his forming ISKCON, the Vedas has been brought to light to some extent . The Vedic ideal is that everyone can live in a harmonized atmosphere where differences are respected and facilities that everyone needs , including the creatures of the earth ,can be easily obtained . Unity in diversity as well as all discord being harmonized in the absolute is the Vedic gift . This vision is based on the Srimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita, as well as the eighteen puranas that bring a natural and systematic education through its various cultures , The psychological position of the ethereal subtle energies are taken into account within the eighteen Puranas. Thus, men of goodness , passion, and ignorance are offered facilities and systematic progressive lives . This also naturally allows for all the specific needs of a ” multicultural ” society , where differences can be lived out in harmony.
Some people may openly criticize ISKCON, or Gaudia Vaisnava societies , and immature thinkers probably dont understand the significance of their work and their long-term vision. When initially creating structures naturally also problems can be created that’s to be expected especially in young institutions. Every family has to face problems and learn to deal with them and learn from them. Living in the material world with spiritual ideals will naturally create puzzles. Critical Vaisnava thinking but based on Gaudia Vaisnavism, management, and governance, along with compliance, are essential in any family unit. Obviously, so in a huge ISKCON family . Within every decent family, frank discussions are sometimes needed to advance understandings and bring practical improvements .
We can naturally understand that in creating the great worldwide family of ISKCON for instance, in such unprecedented ways , and with such unprecedented preaching that is carried out all over the world , the ongoing management of such a ginormous family will remain with us . Good governance means to always address issues in the best possible ways . Every large organisation is constantly having to do so . Social problems are certainly not unique to ISKCON or any Gaudia Vaisnava group . However, bringing the greatest benefits of the Vedas , the knowledge of Krishna consciousness to the world is a matter of urgency .
Traditional ashrams or religious cultures , generally have women and men within their own settings .The Nuns and Monks live separately all over the world . Family life was absent, and interactions with society were limited.
In creating ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had the vision that the whole world should be given the opportunity to practice Krishna consciousness together, every varna and every ashram should be included . In so doing , Prabhupada’s ISKCON society has successfully brought Krishna consciousness opportunities to one and all in very practical ways.
If Prabhupada had created traditional Ashram systems , many aspects of society would not have been included in the cultivation of Krishna consciousness . Currently , it’s witnessed that ISKCON is very successful and is fast permeating everywhere in the world and within different social groups. Its influences are growing in all of the varnas and ashrams.
Earlier days in ISKCON were very blissful and revolutionary but particularly difficult in many respects . Young inexperienced leaders had a lot of responsibilities , and many couldn’t manage well. Consequences of failure can be problematic, but we can not assume the utopian dream that all is rosey as soon as someone walks into an ashram , persons have come to learn , and unlearn the bad habits of material life . Risks are there in any organisation, and every organisation is now managing them a lot better , as do all religious institutions .
Certainly, Prabhupada, through his preaching method, has opened up the whole world , every single aspect of society can now access a Krishna consciousness experience, and the success of his mission is astounding.
Although it’s claimed by scientists that brain waves are too weak to carry and be picked up by a receiver, they also say even the most weakest electromagnetic waves can be detected with the correct equipment. The waves of radio and TV Internet are being carried with coded information and can pass through matter. Fibre optics carry information faster but require the physical fibre , light is blocked by matter , and even the sun can be partially blocked by water vapour, i.e., the cloud .That’s why optics are used , no blocking , rather, continued light signals.
It is a given that there is chemistry between some people, but not in extreme terms for everyone, although everyone is mentally aware of another’s mental energies. They do not interface too much by the arrangement of Divinity , there would be mental chaos. However, the karmic synchronicities of future events are already forming along with the next body , and the electromagnetic waves of mental activities are logged and received by Divinities agents , and will connect with the suitable electromagnetic atoms that will form around the consciousness bringing the next body and term of life .
Thus the Vedas indicates technology far, far beyond the comprehension of mankind, although some understanding is becoming clear .
The Nobel prize winner Marie Curie who discovered X rays was a member of a circle who studied brain waves .
Attendance at Séances: Historical sources indicate that both Marie and her husband Pierre Curie were interested in the occult and attended séances, particularly those involving the famous medium Eusapia Palladino.
Scientific Approach: While interested in these phenomena, her approach, like that of many contemporary scientists, was rooted in a desire to apply scientific methods to investigate seemingly unexplained events like thought-transference or spiritualism, as such topics were widely debated within the scientific community at the time.
Think and act ” Vedically “ Veda means knowledge . Act according to Dualism, you have a body but are not the body . What was your previous situation?what is your future destination? what determinism is there at play within the responsive universe.? It is a self-evident truth that your consciousness is passing through bodies , children , youth , adults, old people , same person different bodies .. Acting in knowledge is the Vedic way . Acting according to the speculative hypothesis of scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis that encourages a life that can be said to be no more than sophisticated animalism . Dying in such ignorance has been taught extensively within educational systems , in the name so-called freedoms of liberalised society , that suits the world of the globalists who all adore consumerists .Live today at any cost , even the deaths of others That is an artificial imposition on ones truely inherant nature. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Western economies are based on borrowing and printed money , and also of promises of what a country might deliver in the future . This fuels the gambling casino like stock , currency, and commodity markets that the miniscule percentage of the world benefits from whilst everyone else struggles and is forced to work like asses .To do so much pillaging and plans of encroachment on others territories causing death and destruction takes place..The USA leads the ways by 37 trillion dollar debts and with approximately 750 military bases in 80 countries throughout the world. That’s not the Vedic way of finance, diplomacy , trading, or respectful relationships with a multicultured world ..
