Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha brings our attention to the ten topics of the Srimad Bhagavatam
1, The creation of the universe, 2 the planet’s within ,3 the maintenance of all everything 4, the sustainability ,5 ,the rule of the higher beings the Manus , 6 ,the dynasties of saintly Kings, 7, their activities, 8 the destruction , 9. the individual being and 10 The supreme personality of Godhead.
These topics are discussed by different personalities throughout the Bhagavatam in different ways and differering circumstances throughout the histories of multiple manifestations going back trillions of years .
The Bhagavad Gita itself discusses five topics , the Lord , the living beings , material nature , time, and Karma .
Thus, between these two theological texts, one can understand and acquire a knowledge of Bhakti Yoga .The real key, however, is to associate with the person Bhagavata, who is filled with Bhakti , then the texts come alive within ones heart , mind ,speech, and actions.

Science and the Srimad Bhagavatam

The Srimad Bhagavatam shows the importance of the philosophy of science ,  the Bhagavatam  itself summarises and gives accurate explanations either directly or indirectly to all known , and as yet unknown aspects of science still to be discovered by scientists . It is said in Vedic circles,  once one thing is known everything is known . The Vedas have sound as the origins of a universal order , we can think of this  as a desire or command or information exchanges and coded systems . Finer particals of matter that are  interacting  within an ethereal plane , a plane that covers a pure consciousness and places a conditioned consciousness into the material energies are indicated  in the Vedas . Also, for example ,  measurements of time are indicated , the time it takes for the sun to pass over atoms , or the 311 trillion years of the universal expiry date . Bhagavatam’s emphasis is centred upon mind , matter, and consciousness  as  the  full explanation of the world that surrounds us . The Bhagavatam is seen to corroborate what objective science  discovers  but it also culminates in a full explanation and understanding of  consciousness in its conditioned and liberated states  . Material energies at various points of its history within space time differ , both relatively in local galaxies and in the much greater picture of multidimensional universes .  Modern physicists , such as Lisa Randall,  the Harvard Prof. seems to often describe our cosmos much like the Bhagavatam describes it .
The information within  DNA along with the coding  procedures consisting of  a possible three billion combinations of letters within the 100 trillion cells in our bodies have origins in Divinity , and  His supreme intelligence  , after all , information means someone who is informing .This  coded information is on both sets of dna strands and possesses data compression. In other words, many expressions from one set of letters at different times will be enacted , causing various changes in the body . Karmic synchronicities are played out , the Vedas indicates . Richard Dawkins was once asked for an example of  a mutation bringing new positive information to the genomes,  meaning obvious transitions and macro evolution…..he could not give one example and after a long embarrassing pause asked for the camera to be switched off .
Mutations die out or are fixed automatically within the body building procedures. All this is common knowledge in scientific circles .
Information means intelligence. Just think of the combinations of 1 s and 0 s in your computer. All put there by intelligence design of a human , creating codes .Nyaya logical systems…if there is smoke, there is fire .

THE 3RD CANTO OF THE BHAGAVATAM CHAPTER 26 INCLUDES THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL NATURE .AND
THE MANY POSSIBILITIES OF QUANTUM PHYSICS IS PARALLELED AND EVEN MUCH  FURTHER STUDIES  BY LOOKING FOR ITS ORIGINS IN AN ETHEREAL PLANE .THE FINER ELEMENTS OF MATTER .

Only the Supreme Personality of Godhead could, in a matter of an hour or so, sum up ,…. (differing views on how long the conversation was ) …the whole of the Material world , its origins , its workings on every material and psychological level , as well as the myriads of paths of progress and degradation and where they might lead . And Krishna gives full insights to the fourteen planetary systems of the higher, middle and lower parts of this universe , He then brings us to the ultimate , the Param Gatim the highest planes of existence which He gives access to .To understand Bhagavad Gita fully including all its philosophical , spiritual and psychological studies as well as its social sciences in full one needs help from Krishna , as much as any teacher helps us understand any topic ..
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita as it is …is a must for Western readers .

Everything that is wise , wonderful or beautiful in life and cultures has devolved. The Darwinians suppose that such displays of multifarious cultures , all of them quite exquisite in their own ways originated from a little warm pond .( primordial soup) and evolved …..Although scientifically molecules dont move towards life .
Actually the vedas give quite the opposite conclusions, those who do not utalise the human form of life to appreciate the beauty and widom of others who are said to reflect the greatness of Divinity , and who cannot understand the concepts of original ancestors who were communicative with Him over millions of years ago , are in danger of devolving into the pond , to live as microbial creatures thereof.
Message of the Vedas is learn to appreciate the highest of culture along with learning and not waste time like unthinking sophisticated animals.

An introduction to Srimad Bhagavatam and its contents..

The Vedas indicates that the Srimad Bhagavatam is highly beneficial to all those living in the material world primarily because it brings everyone to the path of  Bhakti , it destroys all ignorance and brings an all inclusive loving attitude because  when one can learn to love God automatically everyone is loved .

An introduction to Srimad Bhagavatam and its contents..

Many devotees of Krishna write of His glorious activities accompanying , thus further elaborations of the Srimad Bhagavatam in the form of Smriti are recorded by the Gaudia Vaisnava param para . His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada  presented the Srimad Bhagavatam to the Western societies for the first time in the late 60s and 70s .
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami is most expert at presenting these topics in practical ways to the modern world . In our film, we are  introducing the highly esteemed  trancendental works,  the Bhagavatam is recognized by leading scholars in every university.  ISKCON  itself has developed a specialist Oxford branch that  introduces Gaudia Vaisnavism to various departments in universities . Previously to their efforts Sankacarya’s impersonal philosophy of Hinduism had been  predominantly taught .

In current times, the word WHY is said to be the most popular word on Google ,   unlimited keyboards on a  regular basis type it . Indeed, the Bhagavatam indicates that unless a human asks , who am I  ? why do I exist ? What is the   purpose of life , and how did the universe begin ?  The full potential of humanity can not be achieved. Animals obviously don’t have  facilities of  rational , logical  enquiries , although they possess consciousness like you and I , we should not become sophisticated animals.

Examples of philosophers and thinkers throughout history are to be found , William Paley intelligently concluded that  someone finding a watch  whilst walking in the long grass  in 1850  , although  never seeing before on its examination,  would naturally assume its fine engineering and design are most  certainly the work of a creative brain and with exceptional   intelligence .  Isaac Newton  thought that each individual thumbprint of human beings  was a  clear  evidence  for individual  engineered design . The teleological argument , design permeates everything  in nature  and the universe remains as strong as it ever did and becomes stronger as scientific research progresses . Recent studies of the entropy of the cell , shows the cell has  low entropy,  meaning extremely high organisational levels at its centre but at the same time,   high energy levels operating . Such high levels would lead one to expect   high exposive entropy , this indicates deliberate controlled systems, controlled mean a controller. The fine tuning of the universe , the  so-called goldilocks phenomena , is on view to everyone. Everything is  perfect , not too much heat , or too cold , a perfect gravitational force is present , its certainly a puzzle why gravity is week close to earths surface but strong enough to influence the tides from space .The perfect mix of oxygen. This is objective evidence for order and engineering in anyone’s calculations.

Certainly, the opening pages  of the Srimad Bhagavatam confirm this observation. The famous opening sloka declares that Divinity is directly and indirectly conscious of every aspect of creation , a creation  that emnates from consciousness . Life comes from life… Molecules don’t move towards life , something brings them together, and Vedas say Krishna is within and outside of the material energies , as much as a modern business global empire,  the boss is outside but  his intelligence permeates the whole affair.
The Srimad Bhagavatam  itself is a series of one to one conversations through time frames , there are dialogue partners , and these constantly  weave in and out of space time , over billions of years and no specific  chronological order . There are references to appropriate histories and crucial lessons that can be learned , either from Divinity Himself or His devotees . They are defined as factual events relating to Krishna and His devotees or illustrative stories , bringing home key and important philosophical points .

The Bhagavatam appears and dissappears in the long course of 311 trillion years of a set time of this universe, as much as the sun rises and sets and appears to appear and disappear.
The creator god Lord Bramha has  inconceivably 4.5 billion of our years as his 12 hours , and  its recorded in the Bhagavatam as he sleeps , the partial shut down of our universe  begins lasting 4.5 billion years begins , before being rebooted once again.  Although our total universe is trillions of years old , only parts are temporarily shut down , and the  highest planetary systems remain unaffected.

Lord Krishna Himself  comes to reestablished  forgotten Dharma or principles of religion , and to attract His devotees , demonstrating His glorious life . 5000 years ago He did so , and when He left this universe after completing His purpose, the question arose what happened to Dharma.  Dharma is a living  through the desires and order of Krishna , it has a supervisory system , which means , if one acts within Dharma, ones  life is reasonably fulfilled and  progressive the  elevation of consciousness can  takes place . But If one acts  against Dharma, one automatically degrades one’s own consciousness and becomes  furthef and helplessly entangled  in reactions and sufferings within material conditioning .  The key to understanding the Bhagavatam is to gain  scientific objective knowledge  of our universe and thus increase faith in Sanatana Dharma . That is the learning of the eternal occupation of the soul , and  the symptom of the soul is consciousness .

Ultimately by following such  Dharma, one is taken  to a place where consciousness can thrive ,  where it is surrounded by  pure consciousness and spiritual energy , and not the  deteriating and fluctuating matter made of atomic particals . …….The sages who questioned  Sukadeva Goswami in the Bhagavatam,  were told that when Krishna leaves this world  , Dharma, with  all its directions  take shape in the form of the Srimad Bhagavatam .
Everything for mankind is contained within its pages , and the expert person Bhagavat , who is realised and has understood the Bhagavatam,  can extract and understand its mysteries , applying them to  given times , places or   circumstances . No matter who we are or what we are , progressive steps are chalked out for every section of society within the Bhagavatam.
It is said one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong , and Lord  Krishna always favours wise council  to  bring  justice to all proceedings in  administrations . In its absence, there is turmoil in society  reflected in the current times . Today, we see unnecessary suffering  and deliberate  misguidance brought about by unfit leaders , democracy can mean fools voting in fools . One who studies the Srimad Bhagavatam will bring  great security and wisdom to himself and his  family . Objective History , objective science, and non cheating  religion are all essential ingredients to life , otherwise, mistaken ideas develop, leading to  great misfortunes.
Wherever there is Krishna, there is always great fortune and victory.
Krishna lies within all the pages of the Bhagavatam directly or indirectly.

The problems we have in the Ukraine Russia conflict is that since 2014 onwards USA , Nato and EU have rolled into the country , spending billions on elections and arms ,ignoring any threat that might have created for Russia , which at the time top diplomats and military chiefs warned about . How is everything going to do a U turn ? Although it was foolish to provoke the Russians and still to this day could be a cause of world war three, its difficult to make a country neutral and a buffer zone , especially having given the Ukrainian people a taste of western “freedom ” although in reality freedom means a different kind of control .Putin knows that no half hearted measures are good enough , USA ,EU and UK have to give solid commitments to make Ukraine neutral , No EU membership no Nato membership for 30 years or so , a solid agreement . If not it will remain a huge threat to Russia , and they wont ever tolerate liberal cultures pushing their way into Russian boarders
How to square a round circle , USA have so far failed …its a very dangerous problem made worse by EU and UK .
This is the understanding and thinking of Prof John Mearsheimer..

Never mind the “jnana” ( speculations and contemplations) of the best of the philosophers that can even lead to all kinds of liberation, according to the Vedas . Never mind either high academia or even great opulences of Karmic rewards of money, beauty or fame , brought about by good action in a life , they are after all intoxicating ,  the Vedas warn they  can  bring a certain type of pride ,  making  one feel independent and self reliant , without an exclusive need for God  . We should, of course, know all such opulences are all swept away in the course of  time , and time and tide waits for no man or women .
The Vedas  therefore recommends the best of paths that are open to all, whatever one’s condition or circumstances . The results of the best of the recommendations are easily obtained , especially in present times . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has granted s special benediction in this age our acaryas say , and once given and accepted, it becomes a permanent asset never to be taken away by time . Like a touchstone, it is increasingly experienced in newer and newer ways .
What is it that everyone is ultimately looking for but can’t quite find . Is it not a blissful loving relationships  and comradery that can be experienced in ever new and ever enthusistic ways ?  See at  school’s out time and the joyful expectations of great times with young and exciting friends and lovers as, for example,  remember when you had that opulence? Within the fourteen planetary systems of our universe, some semblance of those types of pleasures may be experienced . But time degrades any enjoyments and zest for life ,  old age and anxiety slips in , this is the material world.  Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s devotees are telling us to become friends with Krishna along with His friends and also  become friends with Srimati Radharani along with  Her friends. The Bhakti Bliss of trancendence is an immediate effect of such friendships , one  immediately experiences the spiritual kingdom, you don’t need to wait for death , that is Mahaprabhu’s gift who was Himself  glorifying the condition of Srimati Radharanis “golden” heart
Whatever you are, whatever you have, add Krishna consciousness, and your life will become sublime, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami writes in his Srimad Bhagavatam  purports . http://www.thevedicspectator.com

The whole of this material universe of which our world is but a spark  comes in innumerable and incomprehensible forms , like the microbial world ,  the atomic worlds , and its stated in the Vedas 8400000  species are scattered within its macro multidimensional aspects . The physicists are also convinced of a universe with multiple dimensions , just as the Vedas says . The universal message is  clearly available , yet we are not prepared to listen .  Instead, we manufacture so many narratives about our lives  to make ourselves feel comfortable . The wise, though, should live in truth and not denial , only that will make us happy and fulfilled ..
The key to progression and happiness is to follow the universal message and to observe the objective sciences that surround us all . We should know that  subjective scientific narratives that are presented as objective fact based science is a kind of cheating science . Check out your teacher and your teachers teacher and his teacher . What are the origins of their so-called knowledge…that’s the intelligent course of action . We must examine the source of knowledge.
We, according to the Vedas, live in a responsive universe, a universe that is responding to desire and quality of actions , and many leading physicists both in the past and present would not disagree with that …

The Bhagavad Gita summarises these principles , Lord Krishna gives the general overview of the Vedic workings .

The Srimad Bhagavatam takes matters further , so science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. As Einstein said.

Certainly, Bhakti is very attractive and sweet , and it is being distributed all over the world, but nevertheless, many do not have the initial attraction even when confronted by the pure devotees .But Mahāprabhu and His devotees are working on all levels and to attract the general populace, high levels of Jnana , great wisdom on many different levels are also being employed and presented as well as fabulous opulence of many buildings with attractive surroundings , there is also much wealth and beauty of all kinds . This all serves as an entrapment for those who are attracted initially to such things , only later to be superseded by the supreme sweetness of Bhakti, and renunciation from old attractions will begin to take effect .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Goswami Maharaja and in a major and unbelievable display of opulence, knowledge and sweet Bhakti , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has began to inundate the entire world with Krishna consciousness , following their instructions , and is connecting everyone to Mahaprabhu and all of the various followers of Him , both within and outside of ISKCON
http://www.thevedicspectator.com

When one contacts Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu one learns of Krishna of Vrndavana, who is Krishna of Vrndavana ?……oh ….He is Narayana , He is Visnu in all His forms , He is the supersoul situated in the hearts of all beings and within the atoms , He is the source of all incarnations .He is the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita …..but anyhow ….all these are secondary things , It’s Krishna of Vrndavana Mahaprabhu has come to tell us about and about His relationships with the Village folk of Vraja and especially of Srimati Radharani and Her friends. .

No matter what you are or where you come from , and in real terms no one knows where they came from or where they are going , but nevertheless, whatever your dose of Karma and jnana , simply add Bhakti to Krishna to your life and your life will become sublime . Knowledge and detachment automatically follow, and your heart will grow ever sweeter and soft like butter.
These messages given by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami , whose heart was filled with Bhakti , and who preached the processes of how to acheive it all over the world , are also explained in very great detail by Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur in his book Madhurya Kadambini.
