If one listens to Pralada Maharaja’s teachings to his class mates , one should draw certain conclusions and come to understand that Pralada is giving the overall picture of material life with its many almost forced engagements within the material world . This all begins at childhood , but childhood is also a continuance from a previous life and immense previous entanglements and obligations. The teachings of Pralada are, of course, meant for everyone , but Pralada is encouraging everyone at sn early stage of life to make a head start in developing a wisdom that runs deep .What you learn as a child remains deep within the psychic. Practical applications to such teachings are within the Bhagavad Gita and the Puranas and the Srimad Bhagavatam .Through Karma yoga , jnana yoga , a devotional astanga yoga , when Bhakti to Krishna is added , is the way Krishna outlined in Bhagavad Gita to pure Bhakti yoga , with the absence of karma or jnana, pure Bhakti is achieved . Gradually or more quickly , according to previous lives and sukriti , one extracts oneself from the illusory energies . As said before , there is not only one path , yoga consists of Karma yoga, niskama karma yoga, jnana yoga , featuring jnana sunya bhakti ,and astanga yoga. Bhakti , or pure loving sentiments , that are learned from pure devotees , when added in any degree, moves one along these paths at a steady pace towards the goal , love of God . In some cases, immediately one can take up high levels of Bhakti , but not every one is able to , karmic synchronicities run deep . Thus , common sense and a devotional understanding , minus any fanaticism , is required when hearing Pralada Maharaja’s teachings. The fanatical might force a child to be in some kind of renounced state ….that’s not the purpose of Pralada Maharaja’s teachings.
Getting the balance and applications of spiritual and material life is important in everyone’s life and especially in children’s lives , sensitivity , intelligence and common sense is needed along with the help of the genuine intelligentsia whose characteristics are sublime.
Whenever we see people applying themselves to any spiritual path, we should think how wonderful it is . However, if we think our path is the one and only religion or way to God , we miss the whole point of Divinity, who clearly lays everything out .
In the Epstein world of spy’s, compromised situations , and blackmail , one assumes a world of forced cooperations , but along with huge monetary rewards , and also access to insider information of everykind accross all kinds of financial markets. I guess the movie will come out soon . The world of corruption after corruptions and compromise plus blackmail..
The demons world ..
What does Lord Krishna say about the nature of demons ?
O son of Prtha, in this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine and the other demonic. I have already explained to you at length the divine qualities. Now hear from Me of the demoniac.
They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.
The demoniac, taking shelter of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige, and being thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.
They believe that to gratify the senses unto the end of life is the prime necessity of human civilization. Thus there is no end to their anxiety. Being bound by hundreds and thousands of desires, by lust and anger, they secure money by illegal means for sense gratification.
The demoniac person thinks: So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the lord of everything, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice. In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.
Thus perplexed by various anxieties and bound by a network of illusions, one becomes too strongly attached to sense enjoyment and falls down into hell.
Self-complacent and always impudent, deluded by wealth and false prestige, they sometimes perform sacrifices in name only without following any rules or regulations.
Bewildered by false ego, strength, pride, lust and anger, the demon becomes envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in his own body and in the bodies of others, and blasphemes against the real religion.
Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life.
Attaining repeated birth amongst the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.
⁹The man who has escaped these three gates of hell, O son of Kunti, performs acts conducive to self-realization and thus gradually attains the supreme destination.
Our responsibility is to know and identify certain behaviours and to protect ourselves and communities, and stand up for justice and spiritual enlightenment based on morality, honesty, and respect for all beings.
The Vedic Spectator blogsite writes about the values of theologically based cultures incorporating family values and preservation of local national cultures . The Vedic Spectator also comments on the values and practicality of a multicultured and multipolitical world because every nation state naturally has its preferred methodology of governance. The Vedic Spectator particularly critiques libertine political agendas that stem from scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis ,which promotes the liberalisation of society . Such persons do not realise the long-term psychological effects of a life based on” if it feels good, do it .” Such libertine cultures are favourite of the centralising EU . The EU is not in favour of independent nation states and hand individual national influences and localised economies to the monopolies of the global conglomerates.
The integrated modern world must be a world of sharing of technologies and resources and not solely based on ruthless uncaring competition , that is a exploitative colonial consciousness of the past , its based on the unthinking survival of the fittest concept, and its demoniac consciousness
The Vedic Spectator advocates for a traditionalist, theologically rooted worldview, emphasizing the importance of family values, community cohesion, and the distinct sovereignty of nation-states. Its political philosophy can be broken down into the following core tenets: Sovereignty and Nationalism: It supports a multipolar global order, asserting that each nation should retain its distinct cultural identity and preferred methodology of governance rather than assimilating into a standardized, globalized system. Critique of Libertine Agendas: The blog site opposes policies or political frameworks that it views as socially libertine, arguing that much moral decay often follows when societies abandon foundational theological principles. People succumb to mental anxiety when scientific dualism is taught as fact based sciences and atheism in the form of Darwinian hypothesis alongside scientific materialism appears in widespread ways throughout educational systems . It is presented as fact based sciences , although it is not . The Vedic spectator critiques the EU Centralization: It specifically critiques the European Union, viewing it as a centralizing bureaucratic force that undermines the authority, cultural identity, and self-determination of individual nation-states.Ultimately, the Vedic spectator’s perspective is one that champions the idea that healthy societies are built upon strong local traditions, spiritual continuity, and national independence alongside local industries and local economies . This is the Vedic way.
Who is leading , and who are they sold out to ..why should we follow ?
The material world is a place where narratives and untruths are packaged up as truths . The only persons who can unwrap the packages and discard their content are genuine Sattvic intelligentsia . Those who are in knowledge of spiritual dualism . Those who understand the various psychological differences of everyone and why they occur . How can all peoples be helped within their own cultures and countries by those who know of the worth of worldwide cultures and theological traditions ? The answer is by association and by attentive hearing , hearing in a mood of genuine respect , and respect because of the quality of character and learning , the truely situated Sattvic intelligentsia need to be heard . Its they who see the self-evident truth of the equality of all living beings . They understand the rights and circumstances of persons living in matter and understand how consciousness has found itself within the material world. These underlying causes are the cause of innumerable other problems . Such an intelligentsia are the best of mankind and are meant , in Vedic cultures, to be the advisors of the political classes . Businessmen have limitations in intelligence and have many many insensitivities , their thinking is that profit comes at any cost , and such persons should be nowhere near leading society or advising , rather, they need leading and advising . The current political classes , and the businessmen who support and pay for them , alongside many “sold out fake intellectuals ” who are in their employ , are no more than sophisticated animals , they are sold out to scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis …Richard Feynman said that someone could have a so called education , with a pocket full of phds , but be a complete idiot.
The long long history of “human dogs” fighting other human dogs or cats goes on in these current times . The sophisticated animals led by the unintelligent who always silence the intelligentsia have historical accounts of one war or disaster after another . Those who are ignorant ,who cannot teach , or ignore scientific dualism , ie consciousness and matter as two distinct energies , the ignorant don’t understand the potential of consciousness , they simply scrap and fight over the temporary affairs of the material world until they themselves are buried in the graveyards. However, they rise again as cats and dogs, and the fighting goes on , but at least in the backyards …the Vedas indicates.
To understand the truth, one has to know the psychology behind a speaker as well as his or her motivation and reasons for speaking . We must know their authority and their source of knowledge . Beneficial meanings behind what they say could well be there or there could well be harmful and ignorant deceptions underling a person’s motivations , that they keep hidden and that will cause inculcabable harm .
In matters of sciences, political affairs, and theological sciences , truth is essential . The symptoms and the characteristics of a personality who is acting and speaking truth are given in many theological texts and clearly in the Bhagavad Gita.
Wrong person….
Within Vedic socio-political dynamics, everyone plays their natural role . The differences are clear between Western libertine dynamics and traditional cultures, and such differences are causing the degradation of societies , as well as a break up of the natural balance within nature . The natural multi cultural social world is under threat . What is the harmful element? When someone who does not have the qualities or qualifications to carry out a specific task within governance or specific occupations but nevertheless attempts to do so , or is allowed to do so , or they might impose themselves in places and in occupations they should not be .. Each person has built-in purposes that can fit within societal affairs. But don’t ask a ruthless businessman to guide socio-political systems , or have input in any way , apart from money making , but even then only strictly under the guidance of the Sattvic intelligentsia, whose characters are first class in every respect . Its they that clearly see everything and everyone as it or they should be and how everyone and everything fits together.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada says .
“So the aim was how to make people happy by enlightening them in spiritual knowledge. Not that how to make better arrangements for eating, sleeping, mating, and defending. That was also going on. But the main purpose of life was brahminical culture. Brahmā-druha. When the kings were neglectful to see that the people were enlightened about spiritual self-realization, that was [not] good administration. Without that aim, no nation can become happy. No community can become happy.
So, the responsibility was that time to the administrator. They would see that everyone, every brāhmaṇa, is following the rules and regulation of a brāhmaṇa; every kṣatriya is following the rules and regulation of kṣatriya. Vaiśya, śūdra… And nobody can interfere with the other’s business.”
There are many verses in the Vedas giving references to who can see Krishna , seeing Krishna directly, or seeing Him through His energies . The mother sees and remembers her child just by seeing the child’s shoes , and sometimes very deep memories occur of things they did together, so in union with the child or in separations the mother sees the child .
One who has not developed love can not have separation within the heart, nor will they see the object of their love in other objects .
Meaning: “Unintelligent men, who do not know Me perfectly, think that I, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, was impersonal before and have now assumed this personality. Due to their small knowledge, they do not know My higher nature, which is imperishable and supreme.”
This verse indicates those who think God is an impersonal energy, when Krishna comes they think his form is made of matter and He has a body like theirs , thus the minimise His actions thinking they are material and ultimately illusory.
Such persons can not connect this world or Krishna’s pastimes to spiritual personal realisations of Divinity.
Meaning: “I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them, I am covered by My internal potency (yoga-māyā), and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible.”
This verse says what amounts to similar” unthinking ” by the doubting person, that Krishna and His energies are material and have no place in spirituality . Within the organisation of matter , which is an inferia energy of Krishna, but spiritual , because it originates in the spiritual, Krishna can be seen . When Krishna was present, the unthinking and unloving saw him as an ordinary person, His Godhood was not in their vision or heart due to lack of love and envy of His superior nature. Similarly, the perfect math symmetry and design in everything around us within nature is ignored by those who have not developed love for God .
Krishna says further in the Bhagavad Gita.
“For one who sees me everywhere and sees everything in me, i am never lost nor is he ever lost to me”
These exact words reflect a famous spiritual truth from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Verse 30. Spoken by Lord Krishna, it describes the profound, unbroken bond a self-realized soul shares with Him , in different ways according to one’s level of devotion. An individual perceives the divine presence in all beings and within nature , he sees and recognizes that all beings exist within the Divine, self evident truths of the equality of all beings is clear .The more one loves God, the more is seen . In topmost levels of love of Godthey are never separated from the Divine, nor is the Divine ever separated from them.
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Śyāmasundara, Kṛṣṇa Himself with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love.
How to get this love is taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu , He taught the science and methods to Srila Rupa Goswami , Srila Sanatana Gosvami , Srila Jiva Goswami , and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami. The param para acaryas write and teach following them .Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has widely written on all these topics and these books are in every language.
“Might be ,could be ,we think its like , its possibe , there is a strong possibility,” etc etc etc , the never ending speak of those chirping scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis. When one of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s disciples was answering a question Prabhupada had asked about the local area and environment, the disciple piped up and said, “I think its …”… Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami immediately stopped in his tracks , thrust his cane into the ground, and exclaimed, ” You think .you think ..….but you don’t know “ The lessons that AC Bhaktivedanta Swami was giving were clear and learned by all the accompanying disciples…..
Here , in current scientific times, we have more of the same , the world of “it might be’s .and we think ..etc etc .”, although dishonestly presented to a gullible public and students at schools along with textbooks as all fact based objective sciences.
Here is the type of guessing they like … After modern humans made it to Europe from the ape like existence in Africa some 50,000 years ago, they hunted and gathered in small groups for scores of generations. The cavemen and apemens days were numbered. Then, 10,000 years ago, people in Europe began to farm and settle down. About 5000 years later, cattle herders from surged into Europe with the wheel and metal tools and weapons, ending the Stone Age and ushering in the Bronze. Cultural and technological changes accelerated no end , from the rise of the first cities to the spread of empires , eventually arriving to our modern age of trains, planes, cellphones, and artificial intelligence..
In Vedic historical texts , the universe is in a permanent cyclic cycle, the creation of all species has no accountable history, but rather the same species, accross the universes are regenerated , after the previous universe dies out , but then regenerated , great civilizations come and go perpetually, and occasionally mysterious traces are found , in a time period they should not be in . Everybody is given a particular body to suit a particular consciousness at a given state if time , karmic synchronicities, and space time continuum are linked . Histories repeat itself in one sense . The very highest development of consciousness existed previously , before the lower gross grades , in higher state living beings lived in different ways , where minds were strongly developed and able to communicate with other parts of the multidimensional universe, where enjoying life takes on a different meaning . Enjoying gross matter or enjoying within the highest subtle and blissful states is like chalk and cheese. Scientific materialism of the mere gross world , over spiritually led scientific dualism where the yogic inner consciousness is fully realised and discovered, which allows easy journeys to higher planes of existence.
When the greatest of musicians play or sing the greatest of music , it touches the heart in special ways , this is a hint and an indication of a greater state of a mind and inner consciousness that humans can ” evolve ” to , and by purity directed by the greatest of theological texts deep within the Vedas the full range of consciousness is realised or explored .
The speculations of the gross followers of Scientific Materialism or Darwinian hypothesis have further guessed ” All that societal upheaval in our history of evolution from the primordial soup may have supercharged our biological evolution as well, according to a study of nearly 16,000 ancient human genomes published in an artificial in Nature.” .. .note the words ” may have .” All this” might be , could be , we think so ,” is not at all Scientific , by mathematics mutational evaluation and statistics.. it’s the world of unstatistical tosh .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Ultimately, Krishna consciousness is very simple, although most of us overly complicate it .. Simply love Krishna , when in love one can not stop thinking about the object of love. Srila Gour Govinda Swami would point out , and Srila Goswami gives the example of the a lover , externally carrying out duties but internally deeply thinking of her lover .Under the guidance of the residents of Vrndavana , and ultimately the Queen of Vrndavana, Srimati Radharani , who is the abode of the topmost levels of love for Krishna learn to love Krishna take guidance, sadhu sanga , sastra sanga .The residents of Vrndavana also appear in Caitanya lila , to teach and bestow this Gaudiya Vaishnavism and its processes to acquire love of God , Sri Caitanya bestowed this love through the process of sincerely calling out the names of Krishna , names He has accepted because they were given by pure devotees , call with some wanting , some semblance of love , then full love will develop as Krishna reciprocates .Look at the Deity forms and reveal your minds inner trancendental desire to love Radha Krishna and join Their family, friends, and the lovers .
Sparks of love that falter ,fade or die , or sparks of love that ignite and eternally burn . The reflected feeling of love has some benefits, because love is always good in any shape or form , one could say borrowed plumes, something wonderful and extraordinary.
But getting caught up in reflections can deviate one from the reflections’ original source. Thus, the Vedas indicates one should seek the origins of beauty, bliss, and knowledge, all of which go hand in hand . One pointed attention , don’t get too waylaid in the peripherals, or as Krishna says , the flowery words of the Vedas , and material opulences, including reflected love …
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu requested Nityananda prabhu to extensively preach Nama Sankirtana to one and all . He would go door to door, requesting everyone to take up Krishna consciousness. The most fallen of persons can receive His blessings if he simply lends an ear and attentively listens to the Holy names and messages from the Srimad Bhagavatam . If Nityananda prabhu accepts a person , Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu will also . Sri Guru, in all his or her forms, is the representative of Nityananda prabhu , Nityananda prabhu is none other than Lord Balarama the first expansion of Krishna and the origins of the Jivas , the living beings. Being accepted by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His all merciful mood is the special benediction in current times and that broad acceptance reflects the elegance and kind nature of Srimati Radharani , entrance to the trancendental land of Vraj and understanding it fully is guaranteed if the Supreme Goddess of fortune favours us . Anyone who assists Nityananda prabhu in His continued work of giving knowledge of Krishna consciousness throughout any part of the world is guaranteed to be accepted by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and their path to perfection is sure , they will be given the inspiration and intelligence of how to traverse the path and taste its sweetness . In making sweets, we must know the process, but we should also know the sweet taste of sweets, then they can be properly made . Many sincere devotees assist Nityananda prabhu in his campaign of rescuing His lost servants , and of all those devotees who extensively spread Krishna consciousness AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has made a unique contribution by the wholesale distribution worldwide of Krishna consciousness through his ISKCON society . What he did with his early followers is astounding, and ISKCON is increasing its activity hour by hour , there is no stopping it . The storehouse of love of God has been truly broken open, and its treasure is scattered in every direction as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu desired and Nityananda prabhu carries out and still to this day , Nityananda prabhu empowers His representatives.
How to be Harmonized …It is summarised as follows . All living things are inconceivably and simultaneously one and different from their origins , who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead , He is the cause of all causes . By accepting Nityananda prabhu and His mercy , an exchange of trancendental bliss erupts within both the origin and His parts and parcels . These exchanges of pure love and attraction take place in higher spiritual planes , the super subjective plane , and in the highest degrees in Goloka Vrndavana amongst the cowherd damsels of Vraj , everyone in Vrndavana are in one way of another supportive of these trancendental pastimes. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Trickle-down fanatics are unthinking economists who ultimately create global monopolies and envelop the world , the need strict controls placed on them by an intelligentsia who understand the values of localised communities and nation
The founder of ISKCON Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami says .
“In the present day also, people all over the world may join together in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and protest against the present degraded governments of the world’s godless societies, which are based on all kinds of sinful activities. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam states that in the Age of Kali, thieves, rogues, and fourth-class people who have neither education nor culture capture the seats of governments to exploit the citizens. This is a symptom of Kali-yuga that has already appeared. People can not feel secure about their lives and property, yet the so-called governments continue, and government ministers get fat salaries, although they are unable to do anything good for society. The only remedy for such conditions is to enhance the saṅkīrtana movement under the banner of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and protest against the sinful activities of all the world’s governments.”
The Sankirtana movement enlightens people and brings higher intelligence with the consciousness. The self evident truth of fraudsters on every scale become clear .The dumbed down education, that supposedly brings higher intelligence is doing the opposite.
Scientific Materialism and Darwinism hypothesis has created the current situation in the world, the self-evident truths of the equality of all living beings , who are naturally in different material circumstances must be realised, then humility and respect will follow , multi cultural worlds are fine. Making a global world based on monopolies and global conglomerates visions ” is for the birds ” they are all unintelligible plans made by those stunted with greed and envy , look at the world.
The philosophically inclined give the example of the flapping of the butterflies’ wing , an analysis of its effect on the state of the atmosphere ,i.e. air pressures and movements in miniscule unmeasured ways take place . Similarly , the Vedas indicates that our activities within this world , whether insignificant or significant , are reactionary , in our responsive universe , the ethereal planes and subtle energies, so far undetected by sciences , although studies are carried out , Marie Curie, the Nobel prize winner in physics , explored psychic phenomena. The electrical impulses within the brain substances are tranformations, but what do they transform ? are they connected to an ethereal energy that makes connections to the finer elements of matter that the protons , neurons, and electrones respond to , is your next destination along with a body and its circumstance already beginning to form ? These sciences of karmic synchronicities are indicated within the Vedas . As such, every thought or deed has appropriate effects , nothing can act outside the laws of science , and some of these sciences are working in ways that are beyond the comprehension of todays scientists . Peer within one cell , its baffling to them , although they give impressions they know much . The Vedic universe is a reactive and responsive universe. The bigger you are, the harder you may fall , and leaders ought to be especially careful . They have special responsibility , and they ought to know the risks . A fool rushes in, whereas men of wisdom way up all consequences to their actions, seen and unseen.
On a geopolitical note , how many wars has the USA started? How many military bases does it have around the world ? How many neuclar bombs has it dropped on cities . Edward Teller tells the story…. that the USA were told by scientists of the day… that the neuclar bomb it dropped in Japan could have been dropped off the coast miles out , the scientific community said that would have been enough to stop the second world war , because Japan, seeing its power would have had to surrender . However , the USA chose to drop the bomb on the citizens , unnecessarily killing thousands .The advice of the scientific community was ignored. Good sense did not prevail . The intelligentsia of the day , in scientific fields, were ignored, and has the USA learned anything over the years . The answer is a resounding NO . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
According to a computer security expert, Ai will greatly increase cyber security breaches, amongst other difficulties it will inevitably bring us all . For instance, a shortage of high power memory chips , everyone should prepare themselves for a massive increase in prices for technology using such chips , cars , and smart phones included .This world means working hard and then working harder still . The Vedas say Purvarga …means work hard , foam at the mouth , anxiety, fear , and death . Aparvarga means trancendental life and liberation from working like an Ass . Simple living and high thinking is the Vedic way . The security expert said cyber attacks aided by Ai will be a daily feature of life in the increasingly technological world , more fear , more anxiety. Materalistic life means a continual struggle to avoid misery and to try to increase happiness , but in doing so, anxiety increases, and happiness is decreased . Happiness and distress like winter and summer seasons can not be avoided . The whole basis for materialism and especially scientific materialism is flawed philosophically because of the obvious reality of dualism. Consciousness and matter are objectively seen and felt as two separate energies . What are we trying to make happy a body or our inner consciousness? Material energies are complicated and are plugged into our consciousness. Karmic synchronicities of all kinds are played out , although little free will and deterministic consequences can change . The responsive universe sucks one in, and innumerable entanglements are in fast mode beyond the comprehension of any Ai modelling creators. That’s the nature of the material world , every theologically driven culture knows it, and the Vedas examines it in detail. Therefore simple living high thinking is the Vedic way , the peaceful way , and the most progressive and rewarding way for mankind. Development of consciousness and becoming conscious of the origin of consciousness, and by the way , it’s not the primordial soup .
The complications come in life when we separate ourselves from the obvious intelligently made arrangements in nature . The Renaissance period tries to separate the arts, philosophy, and political structures from its intended connections , Divinity, and higher consciousness. Art explains many things and should make everyone think deeply. Any artist attempting to deny Divinity and obvious Dualism and thrust scientific materialism to the forefront is not a clever artist but has sold out .
One should not ignore the obvious math , symmetry , coded information, or any of the historical theological cultures throughout history . The objective sciences, in reality, are seen to bring the obvious to our attention and make it even more obvious. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
