The simplicity of the Vedic messaging is apparent within every text , somehow or another recognise , learn about, and connect with the cause of all causes ,who is the master and originator of the material and spiritual energies . Faith and taking note of objective sciences carries one a long way . Following Divinity and understanding Him is best achieved through His established and proven devotees who have humbly walked the path . Only through these methods, which are favoured by Divinity, will one quickly be brought to trancendental consciousness. Not doing so means repeatedly following those who repeatedly lie in graveyards. Everything anyone does or thinks or intellectualises over is contained within the energies of Maha Visnu, an expansion of Krishna. We have borrowed plumes and borrowed energies granted and bestowed upon us. The best thing it to make the best of a bad bargain and use the material energies in spiritual ways .There is not one person who is unable to fully connect and fully understand the master of the multifarious and multidimensional energies that surround us . By sacrifices , atonement, and purification of consciousness, that are mentioned in the Vedas , various aspects of life’s gifts are realised . Everyone should connect to sacrifice in one way or another . However, one should be careful and understand the gifts of goodness that are awarded by sacrifices are meant to be used for further gains and not self-centred glory . If not used properly, the results of sacrifices can easily degrade one’s consciousness, plunging it back into ignorance and passion and away from the progressive goodness , which is its real purpose.
The path of the Vedas is meant to bring us to a connectivity to all things and all beings that result in an illuminated , humble, and respectful hearts . In that consciousness, we are able to approach the supreme personality of Godhead Hrisikesa, the Master of the senses and the bestower of the results of sacrifices. The culmination of all sacrifices brings one the greatest of fortune, which is the blissful association of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune and all the residents of the spiritual kingdoms whose lives are forever associated with Divinity in ever new and increasing blissful exchanges in a playground of spontaneously felt love towards each other .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has brought the greatest and easiest of sacrifices, simply chant the names of God , like a child crying to its mother , any name of God will immediately bring Divinity in ones presence. The more purely chanted, the greater the realisation will be .and the more one chants, the purer one becomes, chanting is the means and the end .
Everyone is fighting for their cultural ways of life , their particular theological outlook or their world veiw incorporating a particular conditioning that has come from previous impressions from a last life , karmic synchronicities are at work universally.. The revival of the Vedas with modernity in mind by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has the intention of bringing everyone under the umbrella of the very broad Vedas . For sure, one day, it will be seen and understood how the Vedic teachings incorporate everyone somewhere , religion, philosophy, lifestyle, sciences , social sciences, and political sciences are within the Vedas .There is the example of Pariksit Maharaja, who allowed living for everyone, but with restrictions, this has been recorded in the Srimad Bhagavatam, even for Kali personified there was a place .The Vedas contains the eighteen puranas for broad living . However, education is needed to teach people. This living is allowed in this area for this type of ignorant mode mentality , and over here , there is another type of living allowed for passionate conditioned natures . But ….these persons can not become leaders or spread their woke libertine thinking or materialism to one and all , society needs protections . We should not allow free reign over the Internet to advertise libertine lifestyle for everyone and spoil a chance for higher cultures where consciousness is developed to understand matter , spirit, and the potentials of a pure mind fixed in spiritual and scientific dualism. At least as much as possible, this must be done . Bilvamangala Thakur was an innocent pure boy who came across two low class persons having sex in the woods ,and his mind became affected, causing him to visit prostitutes regularly. Prostitutes have a discreet role to play in society, but discreetly for the protection of the innocent , like children. Krishna consciousness is very broad but also very conservative, conserving theological progressive values… Some kind of future restrictions will have to be implemented , so everyone can live independently, but with restrictions , there should be no promotion of overly libertine cultures. When I was young alcohol was served at certain times, and restrictions were in place, Tony Blair introduced 24-hour licencing and drinking. Even in petrol stations you can buy booze . Blair also wanted USA super casinos in the UK in big cities, but Gorden Brown stopped his foolish ways . So, future governments will need a push for conserving cultures based on consciousness development and scientific dualism. Citizens and families should have the correct balance in place and strongly oppose atheistic libertine cultures spread anywhere, and anyhow , Mary Whitehouse had the right idea . The vedas allows for libertine living but pushed into restricted corners , Vedic cultures will influence and bring clarity ….however…..no unthinking religious fanatics , and no unthinking libertines should partake in administrations of governance and compliance systems.
Many have misunderstandings of Einstein and his thoughts on God . Einstein actually believed in and witnessed an order in the universe . Within the Vedas, there are three aspects of how to contemplate and progressively develop realisations of Divinity and His all expanding existence, which is both personal and can be considered impersonal . The scientific community is very much aware of the perfect math symmetry and the obvious high levels of what can be objectively seen as precision, in all things , including the laws of physics. It’s these aspects that Einstein intelligently thought of a ” God,” like Sir Fred Hoyle said “That someone has monkeyed with the universe “similarly, Einstein intelligently concluded similarly, what Sir Fred had stated to be true and also self evident. The vedas say God has no form, and the purpose of that statement means he has no material form. i.e., He has no legs, no hands etc etc .This refers to God not having a material body like ours that are subjected to laws of nature and results of Karma and that is made of atoms , elements, and compounds. Gods spiritual form can only be understood by proper learning , sacrifice, and who, ultimately He is known by those who confidentially approach him in love , respect , and who want to please Him and develop a relationship .If not, He He remains unknown to all sense and purposes. Do you open yourself to an unfriendly stranger ? Krishna, via his “impersonal but personal, ” energies, has created the laws of nature and has expanded His universal form the Virat Svarupa , to facilitate a responsive universe for the independent beings , within this form free will and determinism are administered and facilitated and karmic synchronicities are played out . Divinity and His “sat cit ananda “, means , eternal , blissful form , full of all knowledge, Spiritual form is trancendental existence, there are no machine like material bodies , but bodies of another substance , acting in the higher super subjective subtle spiritual realms full of varigatedness . His forms are simultaneously everywhere, but nowhere , He is inside and simultaneously outside, He is near but far . Einstein’s God is this brahman impersonal aspect , manifested from the supreme Brahman who has form , personality, and trancendental pastimes. The highly ordered universal laws are a mere spark of His splendour , like a photon is of the sun . In this way, Einstein’s understanding of God progressed . Einstein had not furthered his knowledge of localised forms of God as the Holy ghost , or paramatma . He had not applied himself or associated with scholars of the Vedas , if he had, they could have clearly explained scientifically the teachings of dualism and consciousness within space time entrapped in matter . The Vedas call the ultimate realisations of God” Bhagavan realisations.” This means realisations of His form and expansions comprised of eternity knowledge and bliss , Krishna is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is alwsys accompanied by Srimati Radharani , The supreme Goddess of Fortune. From these two millions of spiritual expansions occur .Within the Vaikuthas He is situated in formal settings, but He is the most complete in His beauty within Goloka Vrndavana . It’s here where pure loving informal exchanges take place intimately with lovers , friends, and family . Formality is conspicuous by its absence. Numerous pure intimate devotees in five primary relationships have deep relationships with Divinity or Krishna.
The Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras, explains all .And Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has brought its full glory to the Western audiences and has explained all .
When Prof Albert Einstein says “religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame,” he knows what he is talking about , consciousness and the ordered as well as fine tuned universal affairs does not spring from random explosions in intergalactic space or a primordial sludge.
When Nityananda prabhu came to Navadvipa , Mahaprabhu had Srivasa prabhu take care of Him in His house . Mahaprabhu wanted to test the love of Srivasa for Nityananda , so he said, ” How can you keep this fellow in your house? He is an avaduta and unpredictable in behaviour. You don’t know his family heritage or background.
Srivasa prabhu told Mahaprabhu that “even if a meat-eating prostitute who steals and abuses catches hold of Nityananda prabhu , still I will never stop loving Nityananda prabhu. Srivasa declared this three times to Mahāprabhu. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu was very, very pleased by the unflinching love that Srivasa had for Nityananda prabhu.
In dealing with Vaisnavas of all sorts, we should also be careful not to judge or condemn them even if they may appear a certain way or fall a little from the path , we should remain positive, caring and helpful towards them and help with any rehabilitation or adjustments needed , Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates if a devotee is prepared to go to hell for sins , but will never give up being a devotee of Krishna he should be regarded with a generous spirit and shown love and care appropriately.
At times, unsavoury characters may attach themselves to the Vaisnavas for the wrong reasons and seek to steal or do harm, as was the case once when some theives and their leader wanted to steal the jewellery of Nityananda prabhu . The chief of the theives sent a spy to see when the theft could best begin . The spy witnessed the ecstatic chanting and dancing of Nityananda prabhu and His companions . The theives then assembled, ready to steal, waiting for the dancing to stop so during sleep time the robbery could happen. Unfortunately for the theives, Maya devi arranged for the theives to quickly fall asleep by a blanket of ignorance whilst waiting , and their opportunity was lost .
The theives argued with each other, blaming each other for falling asleep. They, however, concluded thing went wrong because they had not offered sacrifice to Goddess Durga , they agreed that night they would do the theft after offering sacrifice to Goddess Durga.
When the thieves returned that night, they found mysterious and powerful tall guards surrounding Nityananda’s house . The guards were all loudly chanting Hare Krishna, and they had so many wonderful weapons , the theives were bemused as to how this had come about . The theives had to retreat , who can bring obstacles within the Sankirtana movement of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu, remembering this lila anyone who comes to disturb the Sankirtana movement will be defeated and divine arrangements will be made to remove obstacles or persons doing harm .
The chief of the theives was a fallen Brahman, and they tried numerous times to steal from Nityananda , but any contact with Nityananda brings purification so ultimately all the thieves came to their senses, gained trancendental knowledge and perfected their lives , Nityananda prabhu made the conditions ……no more , no more sinful life , walk on the path of religion and spiritual life , Nityananda said and perfect your life and save others who are sinful .This is the unlimited mercy of Nityananda prabhu.
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada once told a leader in ISKCON who wanted to throw another devotee out of the movement, “You do not understand the extent of the mercy of Nityananda prabhu
Srila Jiva Goswami, in his Bhagavat Sandarbha, speaks of the importance of meditations on the reality of spiritual form ,specifically the spiritual forms of God , which are not comprised of atoms , elements or compounds. Wherever Krishna is , so are His associates, He is never alone.
When the constantly strengthening and increasing rivers of the abode of love , churned by the strong currents of the feelings of seperation and union meet with the constantly expanding and agitated tumultuous ocean of the object of love, the two begin to churn a particle of the unlimited ocean of ecstatic attraction . The waves of the unlimited ocean of love of God rise and fall, reaching ever new heights and sinking to increasing depths as unions become separation and separations become union . We should endeavour in our spiritual lives to become eager to develop and increase our hankering to meet with and please , in an attitude of service and humility , Krishna and His associates. Our fixed meditations will make sure the beginnings of love in our hearts become a steady and a sturdy abode of love within our own hearts . Although miniscule in comparison to the best of abodes of love , Srimati Radharani and Her companions , who we should aspire to become the servant of the servant of , our aspirations will increase and our taste for hearing about their glorious activities will increase if we follow the instructions of those who represent properly Sri Rupa and Ragganatha Goswami’s. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say, “Don’t love Dog love God … Don’t get your life and love reversed ….
This process of thinking of Krishna, His name form, and pastimes will enable the living being to acquire a spiritual form spoken of in Bhagavad Gita .
Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me…
How to surrender the mind in Krishna consciousness was practically demonstrated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami in his Bhagavad Gita , Srimad Bhagavatam, and Caitanya Caratamrita purports explains all .
The Darwinian claims dna are all closely aligned , like apes or even spiders, they are close to human dna .The Darwinian is following the primordial soup model . That being the so-called single ancestors originated from a chemical soup that was hit by lightning .However molecules dont move towards life , but consciousness produces the means for further consciousness facilities, i.e. a body . The Darwinian says that from one molecular that was hit by lightning came the many many species of life , in a mutational tree of evolutionary unguided random events , although there are no linear fossil records , quite the opposite. Stephen Gauld sees the difficulties of evolutionary hypothesis and came up with punctuated equilibrium…meaning The sudden jumps theory ,a bear suddenly became a whale or a mammal suddenly became an ape …no evidence, though. ….No tree of life said Gauld …but a bush…of life . However the designer of the Dna codes , that builds the different bodies , but only when consciousness is present and tailor made for a particular consciousness particle, is using similar engineering to create different bodies , the consciousness is impregnated into each body of particular parents. Each species of life is having specific experiences . The responsive universe , using divine algorithms, is specifically placing each particle of consciousness in a particular body , like Divine Ai ……its not too difficult to keep track of individuals for Divinity . In the world of quantum physics you have the atomic realms of endless possibilities, we cannot predict the individuals actions and desires , but as these actions take place, the universe responds, and the next body is awarded .These cyclic universal affairs have been going on since time immemorial. This universe and the beginnings of particular body structures have not recently begun .This is just the latest episode. So same engineer different engineering accounts for the machine like bodies .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Inexplicable is the word to be used in regards to the intelligence and powers of Divinity. Can a photon of light be compared to the sun ? How many more times bigger is the sun ? The super intelligent arrangements surrounding us are self-evident , perfect math and symmetry, and systematic engineering on all levels . Our best scientific members gather grains of sand in the unlimited desert of knowledge in the principles of creativity , creativity of this one planet , they have not even began to understand the subtle energies of mind , intelligence and deeper consciousness. The Vedas and particularly the Bhagavad Gita as it is, explains all the fundamental truths , either accept the word of the sun like creator, or the photon like speculations of those that teach as fact based sciences, Darwinian hypothesis and also scientific materialism. The intelligentsia are the intelligentsia for a reason, when they see smoke on a distant hill they conclude there is fire , when they see organisation and coded information building living bodies and when they see that molecules don’t move towards life , they naturally using the logic and rational thinking understand as Sir Fred Hoyle said that someone has monkeyed with the universe.
One can ask the questions in what particular ways did Duryodhana and Dhritarashtra irreligious actions that ultimately led to the reestablishments of fundermental moral , ethical and religious culture, that Lord Krishna established at Kurukshetra and that brought Yudhistira , the rightful Autocratic king to power .What did Duryodhana and Dhritarashtra do that was so unacceptable to Lord Krishna . Also in todays world, what are we witnessing amongst our leaders , and what can be learned, what parallels are clearly seen in the activities of the two overly ambitious pretenders , and today’s leaders who pretend to know what’s good for the people .We appear to need Krishna and Yudhishthira back with us again .
Here is an Ai edited version of events . “Dhritarashtra and Duryodhana violated fundamental tenets of dharma (righteousness) by treacherous plots against the Pandavas and aggressively pursuing absolute power for themselves, Their repeated subversion of justice and morality necessitated the Kurukshetra warwhen Krishna purged the earth of corrupt rulers and established the righteous Yudhishthira as emperor. Duryodhana’s Acts of Adharma Duryodhana was driven by unchecked greed, pride, and burning jealousy toward his cousins, the Pandav • Attempted Assassination: He orchestrated multiple deadly plots against the Pandavas, most notably the burning of the lac palace (Lakshagriha) to eliminate them and claim to the throne • The Rigged Dice Game: With the help of Shakuni, Duryodhana used deceitful gambling to strip Yudhishthira of his kingdom, wealth, and freedom • Public Humiliation of Draupadi: In an act of unparalleled cruelty, Duryodhana and his brother Dushasana dragged Queen Draupadi to the royal assembly and attempted to disrobe her after she became a s • Defiance of Divine Counsel: When Krishna visited the Kuru court as a final ambassador of peace, asking for just five villages to avoid war, Duryodhana arrogantly refused and attempted to illegally arrest Krishna. Dhritarashtra’s Complicity As the sovereign ruler, Dhritarashtra failed in his primary duty to uphold justice. • Blind Nepotism: Dhritarashtra was blinded by unnatural, excessive affection for his son Duryodhana, consistently excusing Duryodhana’s criminal plot • Abetting Oppression: He allowed the humiliating dice game to proceed and even returned the Pandavas’ kingdom briefly, only to allow another rigged game shortly after, forcing the Pandavas into a 13-year exile. Krishna’s Divine Mission Krishna did not initiate the war for personal revenge, but as a cosmic necessity to reduce the burden of wicked kings on Earth and re-establish a moral society. • Protecting the Virtuous: Krishna guided the Pandavas—who symbolized righteousness—so that justice could be served. • The Universal Emperor: Krishna required an ideal, dharmic ruler like Yudhishthira to lead the world so that dharma could flourish. He orchestrated the conflict to ensure evil was permanently eliminated from the political sphere.”
I will comment shortly on the above , putting it in context to today’s libertines and the immorality in governance in a so called free world , where infiltrated democracies claim to represent the electorate and where fools are said to vote in fools . The fools who become the servants of ruthless global conglomerate and centralised financial institutions , where insider trading and corruption levels are hidden , the dark webb being one of its many tools ..
The Vedic cultures , led by the intelligensia, are destined to return , the revolution of consciousness is under way , and not violent warfare, the unthinking are so unthinking they cannot understand its workings or influence. Ultimately, this universe is under the control of karmic rules , but still mercy above justice is the perogative of Divinity, anything can happen, and in most unexpected ways .
The analysis of how society degraded and what its systems are are given in the Srimad Bhagavatam and explained by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada…

“How Kali Infiltrated Society
Canto 1, Chapter 16 (How Parīkṣit Received the Age of Kali): This chapter describes King Parīkṣit discovering that the symptoms of Kali-yuga—such as unlawful violence, gambling, intoxication, and animal slaughter—have infiltrated his borders. [1, 2]
Canto 1, Chapter 17 (Punishment and Reward of Kali): Parīkṣit encounters the personality of Kali physically beating a cow (the symbol of religion/earth) and a bull. He stops Kali from wreaking havoc on society and restricts the forces of irreligion to four specific places: gambling, drinking, prostitution, and animal slaughter. [1, 2, 3]
The Infiltration of Social Institutions
Canto 12, Chapter 2 (The Symptoms of Kali-yuga): This chapter provides the famous, hyper-specific societal predictions for how Kali will infiltrate the fabric of society, governance, and daily life as the age progresses.”
More later ….the eighteen puranas within the Vedas bring regulations for different classes of men , those predominant in ignorance, passion or goodness.
The most important feature of Vedic culture is that those in passion and ignorance, or even in goodness to some extent, don’t ultimately direct societies, only the pure Brahminical Vaisnava who have realised the self-evident truth of the spiritual equality of all beings, and their specific conditioning within the material world can lead and give advice to the Autocratic leaders , who are for life dedicated to every citizen and every creature under his or her care . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
. Currently Russia because of the Nato led libertine encroachment into ” little Russia ” the origins of the Orthodox Russian Church,namely Ukraine, are facing the Nato led army . Some will say the virtual private army of the globalists , they need new markets and have Ukraine and later Russia in their sights , say Russian scholars. The original Nato encroachment began in 2014 , and it was originally USA led , perhaps with a view to service the USA 38 trillion debts . Now, the USA had realised their mistake and pulled back . HOWEVER the UK and EU and now Canada, who dislike both USA and Russian conserved family and theological values , are now supplying Zelenskyy with billions of dollars and drone technologies, including intelligence gathering . They are trying last ditch methods by openly bombing Russian cities .This could escalate to neuclar, because Russia cannot sustain a continued campaign against Nato Europe and now Nato Canada , under the Global banker Carney. Carney who creates high house prices and high rents everywhere he goes , the bankers’ favourite tools to drain working peoples money and fill up the banks balances. Things are coming to a head , either Zelenskyy and his backers stand down or neuclar conflict could well occur . Russia will not surrender their cultures or have libertines on their doorstep in ” little Russia “.They will do anything to preserve their culture and ways of life and governance http://www.thevedicspectator.com
In Gaudiya Vaisnavism hankering, and lamentations and feelings of separation , to different degrees, according to the maturity of the devotees, such feelings are felt in different ways , bring union or closer unions , or hints of union to Krishna and His associates. This is the only process of perfection of spiritual life and it was taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to His associates. Do we consider that the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani forgets Krishna for a micro second , the residents of Vrndavana are following Her example of love , which is glorified throughout the spiritual and material kingdoms .There is no question of approach to Radharani or Krishna if we have other things on our minds , like wealth, fame , adoration ,or a hankering or lamentations for the trivial of the affairs of this world.
More on this later …the essence of Gaudia Vaisnavism.
This hankering for Divinity is also played out in many religious cultures. The deep meditative hankering to please and rejoin with the originator, Divinity, is actually inherently there in every heart .The wayward souls like ourselves try to find our real home like feelings in the wrong places with the wrong people. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
