The whole process of Krishna consciousness is a transformational one . The principle is that everything we have , whatever it might be , should be offered in devotion for the pleasure of Divinity. How is He pleased ? That’s a very important question, and how do we know He is pleased is another . It is indicated in the Vedas that God is pleased when we do things out of pure love . So naturally, the next question is, how can one love God . That question begins to be answered when we know who God is . Before we understand who God is, we must know what God is . We can not merely say God without having any idea of what He is and what specific qualifications and qualities He might have , and how these particular qualities separate Him from every other being throughout the universes. The serious and sincere searcher of the absolute truth will not accept anything like a sentimentalist , thoughtfulness is the foundation of real development of knowledge in any subjects, what to speak of God .
A pure person who is actually in knowledge of God and through such knowledge has developed his love beyond merely the greatness of God should be consulted . What are their qualities ? That’s another important question.
You may be pleased to know all the above questions are answered in their fullness within the Vedas , there is not one question that the Vedas could not give answers to ..
We find many ignorant persons say ” there is no God ” , but when we say to them ” what is God ” , and “if their were a God, how do you think you’re going to know ” …..they are clueless . The “No God ” statement comes from the unthinking and unscientific.
We should know this. The preachers and the Bhajananandis ..if they are strict Vaisnavas are both glorious . But sometimes the Bhajananandi may find it difficult to comprehend the liberties of the preacher .. The monks of the Scottish Island of Iona came to the mainland to preach but became a little too absorbed in the adapted process and got too absorbed the wrong way .. So good preachers must have strong Bhajan , without which they will fail to make the correct impacts . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur himself and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj were perfect examples of strictness and adapted process, which Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada followed. It’s a fine line …a razors edge ..
Family line ??
Siksa comes by blessings of Sastra sanga as well as through devotees Trancendental knowledge is never limited. Thus, Krishna is the Acarya himself. If a family line Guru from a good authentic line is available and he is pure , take Diksa or Siksa from him , Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur says . But Krishna is not limited to family lines , The holy names brought by Mahāprabhu wait for no-one, but immediately give their mercy , in some parts , it is said the Holy name is enough…but in general we accept training by association and Bhajana kriya ,anartha nrviti etc etc . If you have your representative of Diksa Siksa all well and good … Know though that Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu have inundated the world with the trancendental Holy names , and there are great souls are taking birth to assist Them ..those souls have in themselves previously taken up this process of Krishna consciousness, as Krishna indicates in Gita , automatically they again become attracted… http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The ways of the world….as it should be in terms of governance .
We need to upturn current democracies and revamp them . They have become infiltrated by a political class who are beholding to financial institutions, and they are primarily sponsored by them . Administrative classes need to take input , but not from businessmen . Businessmen do not have the sensitivity or intelligence to know or understand how society should be given direction that brings progressive values , those that teach social , spiritual, and philisophical values . Those that elevate the consciousness of the citizens and bring peace, respect as well as knowledge of the equality of all beings. Life is not a competition or a race to death to gain as many commodities as one can .
The businessman’s duties are to care for the tradesman and workers in their employ . The political administration is supervisors of the creative economic sectors, making sure everything is a genuine free market economy, and unfair encroachment is avoided , locally, nationally, and internationally. of the businessmen . The political classes need proper advice and reference points which are given by the intelligensia who guide the lifetime “kingly person”who is dedicated to all the citizens and has genuine care for all , that is the natural consciousness of a life long leader .The” kingly person ” is obliged to and taken care of by an intelligentsia , a real team of scholars who are well versed in all the sciences , primarily in the sciences of dualism, mind , matter and consciousness. But also including philosophy of science and objective sciences of every kind . The intelligentsia are always guided by the previous intelligentsia, whose knowledge of theological and cultural traditions that incorporated every science that society needed . Each period of time naturally adapts to place and circumstance by the current intelligentsia of the day . Times are circumstances that are always changing and in flux, and new approaches are needed . Such is the ever well wishing Vedic cultural systems that are forever personally dedicated to all living beings.. They are eternal and stem from Divinity Himself.
Recent news ..
Greta Thunberg was not invited to speak at cop out 30 .. It’s another cop out .. Another globalist stunt to fool the world as yet more deadlines are passed , along with failed resolutions . Unless dualism in real scientific terms is understood by leaders as opposed to scientific materialism , and unless impotent materialistic religion is reinvigorated that will shun materialism, the world will continue to move along like sophisticated animals . Lemmings running of the cliff to their own destruction, self made exploitative wars and greed led by the conglomerates who control the political classes . Trickle-down economics never worked and never will . Exploitation is the current economic model , there is no cooperative spirit or respect . Darwinian economics’ survival of the fittest is in vouge and led by 3rd class men . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The speculative Darwinians , who are clueless about consciousness , they also can not even give a credible account of how even one part of a body might form . Ask them to make a tiny cell or even a blade of grass from scratch. The Darwinians would have to rely on molecules already produced by ” nature ” because they can not by themselves create chemical synthesis from scratch. Such Darwinians are so foolhardy that they suppose we have evolved into civilizations from our previous savagery , while being clueless about consciousness, it’s another indication as to how unscientific and ” lost ” the Darwinians really are , sentiments and guesses are unscientific. How do they know that consciousness is not devolving and becoming more degraded , as further and further identification with the material energies takes place. Ignorance of dualism could be taking humanity in a backwards step . Great civilizations come and go , as the seasons do , the Vedas says we are in the dark winter periods currently, and knowledge of the potential and greatness of consciousness has been lost . Although the process of revival of inherent wisdom is always possible . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
That very personality who stole away my heart during my youth is now again my master. These are the same moonlit nights of the month of Caitra. The same fragrance of malati flowers is there, and the same sweet breezes are blowing from the kadamba forest. I am also the same lover, yet still my mind is not happy here. I am eager to go back to that place on the bank of the Reva under the Vetasi tree. That is my desire.”
The actual deep meaning of this verse, which appears to be the hankering between some ordinary boy and girl, was known only to Svarupa Damodara. By chance, one year Rupa Gosvami was also present when Lord Caitanya recited it. After hearing the verse, Rupa Gosvami compose another verse, which described the meaning of the original verse. It was a verse spoken by Srimati Radharani to a gopi friend at Kuruksetra:
“My dear friend, now I have met My very old and dear friend Krsna on this field of Kuruksetra. I am the same Radharani, and now We are meeting together. It is very pleasant, but still I would like to go to the bank of the Yamuna beneath the trees of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute playing the fifth note within that forest of Vrndavana.”
Madhavendra Puri verse … Granted to him by Radharani and chanted by Mahāprabhu in pure love . Text 197: “O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathurā! When shall I see You again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?”
CONTEXT..
Text 191: After saying this, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu read the famous verse of Mādhavendra Purī. That verse is just like the moon. It has spread illumination all over the world.Text 192: Continuous rubbing increases the aroma of Malaya sandalwood. Similarly, consideration of this verse increases one’s understanding of its importance.Text 193: As the Kaustubha-maṇi is considered the most precious of valuable stones, this verse is similarly considered the best of poems dealing with the mellows of devotional service.Text 194: Actually this verse was spoken by Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī Herself, and by Her mercy only was it manifest in the words of Mādhavendra Purī.Text 195: Only Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has tasted the poetry of this verse. No fourth man is capable of understanding it.Text 196: Mādhavendra Purī recited this verse again and again at the end of his material existence. Thus uttering this verse, he attained the ultimate goal of life.Text 197: “O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathurā! When shall I see You again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?”Text 198: When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recited this verse, He immediately fell to the ground unconscious. He was overwhelmed and had no control over Himself
Living in love and truth is not an academic exercise, living within the laws of the land is also not exactly an academic exercise, rather inherant truthfulness , honesty and feelings of effection and love are within our deepest consciousness, our soul . The soul can be covered by the illusions of becoming an independent enjoyer and the master of all it surveys . Thus, it gradually appears to lose inherant truth, and an increase in deceitful entanglements takes place . Underlying this, though , truth and beaulty remains , that is never destroyed. One should revive ones original pure consciousness and become happy , blissful, and nonenvious .
Unfortunately with social and a mainstream media 95% of people are taught what to think instead of how , and its getting worse .
One needs to aquire the means to identify truth .
Although morals , ethics , philosophy , theological sciences as well as clear objective sciences are essential in helping us to access truthfulness, we also need to check our own motivations . Are we sincere searchers for truth . A sincere searcher for truth becomes truthful and honest about their own flaws and weaknesses , an honest assessment of oneself is useful because truth is attracted to those who are honest , the positive is attracted to the negative . Humility is the first point of knowledge. One of the symptoms of truth is to see the true equality of every living being and become their well wisher . There are many other symptoms of truth , such as not to encroach on others territories everyone has their lot , and they deserve it , and we should be in the mind to preserve it .
Purely translated theological texts from every culture chime in the same way , as do good philosophical thoughts . Don’t let anyone get in your way to understand truth and thoughtfulness , find a truely honest teacher who has the symptoms of truthfulness, and begin to apply their teachings carefully, thoughtfully, and truthfully .
The vedic way ..
No question of in or out .
Heaven or hell
But rather prescribed methods of many different regulations for persons either in ignorance, in passion , in goodness , or who have transcended material living .
The Vedas teach in very practical ways that everyone can live with purpose . The outsider may look in without understanding the variables of the Vedas and how everyone is catered for The progressive march of social and spiritual mobility for everyone is the Vedic way.
To understand truth , first understand the untruthful. When you understand the untruthful and the qualities they have and their Modus operandi , from that point you can test the truth , the truth is self evident to the person who lives in truth . There is no American truth , British truth ,Chinese truth, or Indian truth , truth is truth and truth comes along with beauty and harmony. The Vedas list the four types of persons who can not surrender to truth and the five types of irreligious persons , some of whom claim affiliation to religion . We live in the material world , and it begins with deceit , illusion, and ignoring truth . Nevertheless, the truth and the absolute truth can be accessed by those who are seeking absolute truth . Once one thing is known in truth , everything is known http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The process of understanding God with one’s intelligence is certainly progressive, the process of giving some prayers and offering in a” I will give you this , but can you give me that ” is also certainly progressive. But we can not fully understand and enter into a relationship with Divinity and His associates merely by intellectualism or by formal business dealing. To enter into a relationship with Divinity or His associates headed by the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani, there must be pure unalloyed love . In the Vedas this is called pure Bhakti yoga . This type of devotion is bestowed on one by being in the association of one who has it , the seed is planted within our own heart , and we can make it grow by our sincerity of purpose. The Vedas describes a watering process . It’s the type of love that makes one feel inadequate or that one just does not possess. But , you have heard of no risk no gain , in spiritual life , Srila BR Sridhar Swami says , its more like all risk no gain .. Spiritual life means trying to relate with unlimited Divinity , how can the limited understand and love the unlimited . The pure person never thinks he can achieve this , but he or she is risking risking, risking, risking everything, one’s whole life dedicated , hope against hope , says Srila Rupa Goswami http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Everything is connected to Divinity, and Divinity is connected to everything ..
It’s a question of utilising and identifying honest intelligentsia . One who directly understands the simple principle of the equality of all living beings . Who know how to direct people both in terms of their social mobility with education as well as a progressive culture of their inner spiritual consciousness . The vedas have simply forms that the broad Vedas outline , what can be termed as peripherals , but also highly esoteric forms that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has discussed with Ramananda Roy . Many varied objective sciences are given within the Vedas including explanations to the many social structures, all of which are beneficial and can be linked to the best of wisdom. Free market economics as opposed to cheating greedy economics are essentially discussed . Philosophical positions, along with their specific explanations, are clearly elucidated within the varied theological cultures . Ultimately, the Param Gatim , the pefection in understanding who the supreme personality of God is and how to enter into a loving relationship is the final goal set . Leaders in every field must be of quality , a businessman man has business interests , that is good , but leadership of people’s best interests are beyond the understanding of the business men . The all-around all-encompassinging persons who have broad visions of religion , politics , and philosophical matters the Vedas say are those who speak with ” Sabdha” , realised truth . The truthful and the honest attracts truth as well as the absolute truth , and they share their genuine insights for everyone’s benefit.
Prabhupāda: “Our culture, our Vedic culture, is on religion, on God consciousness, everything. The whole social structure, political structure, philosophical structure, scientific structure, everything is aiming on Viṣṇu. Tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūraya. Viṣṇu, God. And in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa it is said, varṇāśramācāra-vatā puruṣeṇa paraḥ pumān viṣṇur ārādhyate [panthā] nānyat tat-toṣa-kāraṇam [Cc. Madhya 8.58] So our cultural aim, Vedic cultural aim, is tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ. How to satisfy Him. But they do not know about Viṣṇu. They have forgotten Viṣṇu. Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇuṁ [SB 7.5.31]. Our self-interest is there in Viṣṇu. Na te viduḥ. These foolish men, they do not know. Durāśayā bahir-artha-māninaḥ. They are uselessly hoping that they will be able to adjust things by material advancement ”
The essence of ISKCON..reinstate leaders of quality
AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Arrival Address… “At the present moment, the human society is giving stress on the mercantile class of men and worker class Actually, there is no intelligent class of men or administrative class of men. So our movement is creating some intelligent class of men. According to our Vedic knowledge, the first-class intelligent man is he who knows what is God. He’s first-class intelligent man.”…………
Unless this happens.. Fools will continue to vote in fools. Society is becoming influenced by the lowest classes of men who are infused with scientific materialism. Darwinian hypothesis is the name of the game with rampant materialism the results. The conclusions of this speculative science are not based on objective scientific methods. Everything concluded is based on subjectivity , best guessing. So the whole of the modern world is following the best guessing of proud atheistic and clueless persons. Sophisticated animals….., ask them what consciousness is….,that is the most important question that anyone can ask , none of our scientific or political leaders can give an answer , yet they expect us all to follow them . What are the goals of sophisticated animals, eating , sleeping, sex , and snatching territories or defending snatched territories. Sophisticated animals do animalism big time , global conglomerates, and world led consumerism is the evidence. Cancel culture and narratives of every kind are spilling out of TV studies and social media , speculations, and best guesses passing as knowledge in place of authentic wisdom that originates from Divinity and His representatives who properly understand the broad topics of theological studies based around mind ,matter and consciousness in all its states and outward appearances.
Interfaith.
Although the immature followers of different faiths have problems with each other , the most spiritually advanced of them don’t . Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha says when one looks at a multicoloured cloth people see different colours , and each individual may see one colour as more prominent than anither individual. Similarly, theological cultures differ somewhat , but they are cut from the same cloth . In that way, people of wisdom rightly have much respect for each other and can easily share in their experiences of Divinity . So , it’s important for faiths to be primarily judged on the most advanced followers of each one . The lesser advanced persons who see so many differences in religious theological texts in time by becoming spiritual mature will also be able to share faith with no insecurities and with realized knowledge.
When leaders fail to take seriously the honest and wise intelligentsia problems arise of every kind , leaders of today ignore the intelligentsia who are scientifically able to understand consciousness and dualism and who thus know of the equality of all being and know of their rights under God’s laws .
Reagan …trickle down economics is the example of crooked capitalism gone mad ..
Fanatic ..and extremists follow this system. It’s what the world economics forum is based upon . Trickle-down economics fails .. Greed breeds more greed and more competing to be the most greedy ..this is sophisticated animalism. Thus ..for example young people cant buy a house right now , as most are owed by private landlord’s who have escalated and forever upwards house prices built in to a system contrived by the greedy banks and financial markets, who see to it their government friends don’t build too many houses ….The stock , currency, and commodity markets work primarily on insider information, that cause poverty and wealth at a micro second . Third world countries have no securities for economic developments, as the commodities they sell are subjected to not free markets , but fixed markets , every third world country has outside political interferences driving conflict . This is the dream of Ronald Reagan and the nightmare for everyone else . Businessmen can never never be left to run society unless they take instructions from a genuine government who are directed by the intelligensia with the highest characteristics http://www.thevedicspectator.com
