Once and for all be done with this material world. The material world will be what it will be ….
In the material world, we get the impression of eternal youthful enjoyment generations, and generations of them appear and are like waves rolling one after the other , but unfortunately in no time at all they crash to the shore . The ever new waves of trancendental bliss that Srila Narrottama das Thakur speaks of are forever rolling in the unlimited ocean of transcendental bliss in Goloka Vrndavana, one drop of this ocean can drown all the inhabitants of the material world in trancendental bliss http://www.thevedicspectator.com
1) I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krsna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.

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

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

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

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

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

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

O Lalita! O son of Nanda Maharaja! Where are you all now? Are you just on the hill of Govardhana, or are you under the trees on the bank of the Yamuna? Where are you?” These were their moods in executing Krsna consciousness.
For generations, the West had sought to shape the Middle East its way , but just recently, its ambitious reshaping has had a kick back, and not only in the Middle East . The unipolar world is no longer . There are other people living on the planet with different cultures, different traditions, and different theological outlooks. This is all quite natural in a world of diversity. Even locally, society and people’s thinking and outlooks differ . Theologically speaking, the Vedas say is due to karma, free will, and determinism…
In the spiritual kingdoms which are approximately two thirds greater in size that the millions of material universes there are no conflicts or wars , rather conflicts that cause trancendental bliss , when you understand how that can be , you have truely understood consciousness and its full potential and purpose…
The Krishna lila Kaliya serpent pastimes show how demoniac tendency can reside even in places that are thought to be Divine . The river Jamuna is certainly such a place, but Kaliya lived near its banks . The poisons emanating from him were so strong that the whole atmosphere became enveloped. The birds became affected just by flying above Kaliya’s lagoon , as all the surrounding areas became toxic . Eventually, Krishna resolved the issues, and the wives of Kaliya helped bring the serpent to his senses, as many good wives do to their husbands . In the scientific , political, or social sphere’s it just takes one or two persons to mislead and create misunderstanding and a poisonous atmosphere in religious , philisophical , political, or social structure develops and increases in toxicity. The Vedas define truths and correct calculations and warn against Kaliya like serpants who seek to do harm and pose as leaders or as an influencer . Ultimetely good always prevails , Krishna’s desire is always to give societies the best of good council, and that always eventually comes to pass , seek out His pure representatives. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Persons like Greta Thunberg , who have mounted demonstrations against ISRAEL, all glories to them all , have had a drip drip effect on our insensitive political leaders , who in reality need leading . One by one, leaders woke up to the demands of the people , and countries began to recognise Palestine.. Trump and the USA had no choice but to follow .. They had other plans . The Arabic states also had to respond, and like the USA , they let down the Palestinians, and 670000 citizens were killed , including 20000 children . Power to the people in this case worked, but it took two years . Netenyaho achieved nothing nor did the USA of EU .. Palestine will get its independence. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Divinity is the original energetic source, and those energies are of various kinds,”Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate” |”the Lord has a multitude of energies, and therefore He acts in multifarious ways.” The individual particles of consciousness scattered by their own desires throughout the multidimensional universes are referred to as the marginal energies of thd Lord . The responsive universes that captures them within the many possibilities of an atomic realm are the inferia energies of the Lord . One fragmental particle of consciouseness is facilitated by another conscious being , Divinity is everyones origins , as much as the sun is the origins of the photons of light particles . Living beings have the same consciousness energies , but they are expressed differently both in the spiritual and material world . The material world is utilising material atomic electromagnetic energies . In the spiritual realms, a ” spiritually based atom ” is at play. Everything is made of the same eternal consciouseness energies . We note in scientific circles that many aspects of nature are admitted to be unknown , and consciousness energies and what they are capable of is another unknown. The Vedas call the ” Spiritual atoms ” Cintamani. When the marginal energies of consciousness leave the energetic source , their full potential are not realised, and they have to take shelter somewhere, so they are facilitated . They become covered by the external inferia energies of the Supreme source of all energies, Krishna. These truths of the Supreme energetic source and the varigatedness energies are given in Bhagavad Gita , and the explanations and comments of the Gaudia Vaisnava’s make every thing clear . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada brought this wisdom to the USA in 1965. The rest is history.. See ..this example from science.
” When energy separates from its source, it becomes dissipated, meaning it transforms into a less useful or “wasted” form, most often as heat, though sometimes as sound. This dissipated energy spreads out and is transferred to the surroundings, becoming difficult to use for other purposes, even though the total amount of energy is conserved.
“ This scientific perspective is also applicable to spiritual consciousness . If it leaves the association of Divinity, the potential of consciousness is dissipated as it enters the self-centred material world, and its spiritual bliss is covered by any number of material combinations of matter . However, the original spiritual energy remains preserved but covered . When it returns to the energetic source, it can realise its full potential, also increasing its own blissful consciousness energies , in the association of Divinity and other particles of consciousness who thrive in such a spiritual state .
Prarabdha , karma, karma that ordinarily might restrict one that are currently bearing fruits and aprarabdha karma those that are connected to deeper states of consciousness that are in the karmic pipeline are all removed ..by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtana movement.
Srila BR Sridhar Swami says ..
“Karma is divided mainly into two divisions: prarabdha and aprarabdha. Prarabdha: karma that is attached to and to be finished in this body. Aprarabdha: karma that is reserved for a future life.”
The very deepest states of a mind and its working stem from deep impressions and attitudes from long, long ago , in previous lives, which are currently bearing fruit, and they are not easily given up . A material mind can be a minefield of unpredictability. Recently accumulated impressions and further additions to one’s karma to bear future fruits are called aprarabdha karma . To a degree, both types are interwoven, but the Prarabdha karma are thought by some followers of the Vedas to greatly restrict one , and maybe so one level , but in transcendental consciousness anything goes . Thus , a blind man can see , a lame man can walk and a dumb man can compose eloquent poetry. Some persons are automatically connected with a stronger urge for spiritual affairs because of previous connections to some previous spiritual searchings . a deeper cultural searchings .
Continued actions and attraction are the result of Prarabdha karma some good some not so good .
The Gaudia Vaisnava movement under the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His leading followers , Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami have uniquely given the scientific remedies to remove both types of Karmas in all their subtle makeups . Both are currently experienced and any future reactions. Ordinarily, those attachments would lead to another body with either gross attachments to the material world or a further striving for impersonal liberation or mystic opulences and various powers. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has immediately granted anyone the benedictions of a clean slate nk matter what you were , a Suddha Satva pure Krishna consciousness state with a clean heart , all the dust and dirt of countless lives removed and loving bliss with no bad feelings or envy is restored . Thus the Sankirtana movement can quickly free anyone from all types of karma that bind us to the lower material planes .
By engaging positively in Bhakti Yoga, everything of the prarabdha karma is quickly removed , and future Aprarabdha karmas . The karmic synchronicity journey is finally halted . By engaging in much deeper meditations and Bhajan , and crucially Chanting the Holy names of Krishna calling for help one will be awarded entrance into trancendental study of the books of the Rasika acaryas , along with their descriptions of Radha Krishna Nitya Lila . The final removal of everything inauspicious is granted .
The regular Hindu followers do not understand these prarabdha and aprarabdha aspects of karmic reactions that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu movement is eradicating . However, this is the full glory of Mahaprabhu’s teachings and the unique benediction offered . The potency and magnanimity of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is His special mercy , which is causeless and is offered to one and all . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains very extensively in his books all these points.
Previously to Charles Darwin , the intelligentsia of the UK had a close affiliation to theological and philosophical thoughts.. The atheistic had little room to manoeuvre .Universities both Cambridge and Oxford had been set up by theological thinkers who were curious quite naturally of how the universe functions as well as all the goings on within the living beings . In the course of time, atheistic persons took the helm and steered society towards Darwin in dishonest ways , presenting guesses as fact based science. A brain drain developed, and schools and universities were the targets of the atheistic to indoctrinate students yo their way of thinking and their world veiw , scientific materialism took hold . A dark and exploitative period in British history in philisophical and objective sciences terms , as society shaped itself for …one life , one death , there is no God or any intelligence in the universe ……so you can do as you like when you like , extremists in liberalism was born and they multiplied. Fortunately, things are returning to sanity , and blind following of Darwinian hypothesis is dying a death along with scientific materialism. True objective sciences are in vouge, and when Sir Fred Hoyle said that someone has monkeyed with the universe so many years ago …..peoples are understanding why he said it .
Further ..
Is it not a fact that the very reasons the kings and Queens of England were taken out of power are the same reasons why our political classes should very removed from office , and placed back under the control of an honest king or Queen, who answer to the intelligentsia , an intelligentsia expert in philisophical thoughts , sciences and theological cultures that are centred around the development of consciousness, rather than just a temporary material body ? http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Those who are honest with themselves and others and who properly use logic and rationale clearly see perfect math symmetry and remarkable design in all beings , and within nature, Sir Francis Crick has given us the clue . But beyond that external design are the internal working of the mind and intellect, that aspect is also designed and channelling of inspiration and creativity is taking place , within some people in most extraordinary ways . The Vedas clearly describes the source of these subtle and ethereal energies. They have a source and are granted , given, and then taken away at any moment. Thus, in the Bhagavad.Gita Lord Krishna says, ” I am the ability in humankind.” Actually, in all brings , have you seen a weaver bird construct its nest . The Darwinians are absolutely clueless on the origins of anything, what is to speak of the source of the creativity and insight that is functional through the computer like brain of Einstein. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Spiritual life means falling in behind those pure representatives of Divinity, who are intimately connected to God , taking your place and rendering services of all kinds . It also means seeing the oneness and differences of a theological approach, and even oneness and differences of approach in relationship to Divinity within a particular branch of a ” religious community “ But there is no room for personal speculations or interpretations , everything said and done must have clear references to Divinity and his pure representatives . What one representative says will be connected to what another recognised and pure representative has said . Ultimately, all discord is harmonized in the absolute. In other words, pure knowledge is harmonized, but speculations and personally motivated interpretations are not .
In material life , especially the life of the Darwinian and those who follow scientific materialism or those that follow interpretations of rascals that claim to speak and give interpretaion of theological texts , the dishonest place all their faith in the dishonest .
Truth emnates forever from the truthful, and the truthful will always find truth. The qualities of the truthful are given in every theological culture are are easily understood by those seeking truth .
Individual love and devotion can only be fully received and reciprocated by Divinity and His associates, not anybody else . Soul on soul is an entirely spiritual affair . Mixed motivations of mixed followers can be veiwed as grades of spirituality and the faithless , a material affair , that can also be graded. Thus, Divinity declared, “I am your true friend. “…
The absolute truth allows the truthful to see the truth , to speak the truth , to write the truth , and to act in truthful ways , without connections to the absolute truth , how can anyone be trusted to speak or act in truth .
Absolute truth can never be silenced , the truthful intelligentsia can never be silenced , although in current times foolish demons try to do so , they attempt to silence or pervert truth , but demons are ultimately fools living in a fools paradise….forgetting Ultimately, truth will out …..by the arrangements of the absolute truth.
When absolute truth decends personally into the relative world , He can as does turn relative truth upside down .Those in the highest of all circles , well understand this because they are indeed connoisseurs of truth . How is that understood ?. Ask a scholar of the absolute. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
