om tad visno paramam padam sada pasyanti suraya diviva caksuratatam
This verse indicates that just as the sun rays are extended, they offer their benedictions and thus, everyone can see the world by the grace of the sun.
Similarly, those who are spiritually awake , have special insight , which means ,and it’s confirmed in every theological science that they can see Divinity, who is situated in everything and in everybody . By coming in touch , this widom and insights is transfered into a once dark heart , this is achieved by somebody who is respectfully inquiring and has a genuine appreciation for the self effulgent person. In so doing, we can receive blessings and well wishes from a pure hearted soul . Thus, the vision of the spiritual saints hearts can be reflected in our hearts .
In the material world everyone is stricken with subjective opinions , such misconceptions are carried with us from many lives , but the essence of all knowledge is simply how to love God . It does not take academia or even much study , it just takes humility and an obliging and loving attitude and a surrender of the false understanding of ourselves or our illusioned subjective thinking process
The essence of knowledge beauty and blissful life can be easily attained , its an uncovering process , beneath all our layers of doubt and misconceptions we will be able to find a spiritual realm . Divinity or Krishna and His associates are forever calling us , we must learn to recognise the call .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has made the whole process very easy.
Just chant any name of God , He is absolute , His name and form are identical , and He is fully present there .
The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra , or any names of God are spiritually surcharged and can easily award the highest perfection of understanding God , He becomes your friend, relative, master, father or even your lover , All names of God carry the callers to specific relationships with Him , along with His associates.

According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being unchangeable.
Here we see the words of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, so He suggests, there are already in place in every single nation , an intelligentsia, consisting of realised philosophically minded persons who know body , mind and consciousness, along with the Vipras , various scholars who have an inkling for various studies, leading to expertise in sciences ,medicine ,economics, etc etc . There are also military men , as well as administrative persons who can easily impose governance and compliance on society managing risks . Also, there are traders , buisness men ,and there are ample tradesmen and workers .
So each nation has self-reliance, built in , regretfully the industrial revolution and later the technological revolution, along with globalisation, have disturbed this natural balance of nations and their self-reliance has been compromised , they have been used and exploited , this has led to poverty and disempowerment of nation states , as they try to keep up with false promises of the Globalist dreams of shared wealth , globalist market this illusion to unintelligent leaders , who are not part of the real intelligensia . This exploitation is historically very deep rooted , but now , countries need some reorientation policies set in place , aimed at self-reliance with its its own people at the heart of decisions , not profits for outsiders . All the types of persons needed to make a successful nation are present in every country , Krishna says so , and we can see it ourselves, so a conglomerate of nations , each self reliant in Vedic ways , and not global conglomerates creating global networks from the USA or Europe. Practically speaking in real terms , today’s democracies have been infiltrated by the plurocratic few that are fooling the many to become convinced they actually have democracies.
This will be the future , the Vedas call it , one and difference. This is the Vedic way and a fundermental truth one word different nations .
So far, an accurate and objective account has not been fully recorded of the tattva transgressions that were made during the 80s in those difficult early days of ISKCON, as Prabhupāda finished his services externally, having established ISKCON.
The truths of Guru Tattva or the origins of the soul have been written upon by the Goswamis and our acaryas, no need ever to stray independently from their teachings , it being the heart of Gaudia Vaisnavism , its a serious mistake to do so and should be accounted for and corrected.
The founder acarya of ISKCON His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had intended for Gaudia Vaisnavism to continue in historic traditions under Rupa Ragganatha and the Goswamis, as Mahaprabhu desired . Research of Sanskrit and Bengali literature is easily done , especially in current times .
Every historical account ever written by our Gaudia acaryas that are contained in the Sruti should not differ from ISKCON philosophy.
The zonal acarya system set up was incorrect, as was an over emphasise on Diksa Gurus , and a reluctance to teach the importance of Siksa Gurus , both of the current and previous Acaryas , through their litratures, as clearly described by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , who is presenting our tradition perfectly.
Unfortunately, we are left with a silent history or, at most vague hints, at what might have happened in the past or who made decisions , and still, these effects linger . They were difficult days, the men and ladies were young , inexperienced , but Prabhupada instructed them to seek help with Tattva from Srila Sridhar Swami , and instructed Srila Narayana Maharaja to help his disciples understand Gaudia Vaisnavism , along with its traditions .
Because of not following the traditions of Guru tattva , or other aspects of Tattva speculations were abound , early leaders forced Grhastas to become Gurus and take to the Sannyasa ashram so as to keep the management body strong , Guru tattva and management of the society became linked hand in hand , that was not Prabhupada’s desire or specific orders at that time , but rather is was a series of cobbled together ideas .
The GBC , at that time became belligerent and head strong , giving the impression Prabhupada had appointed them Gurus , Srila Sridhar Swami and later HH Narayana Maharaja became isolated , devotees were not allowed Siksa from them , although Prabhupada said differently, and ISKCON devotees found themselves locked into a system of management and spiritual guidance that was wrong ,
Even though bad errors were made that jeopardised the faith of the spiritual lives of many and put ISKCON in peril, ISKCON stayed together as a society and is still functioning worldwide in wonderful ways . Its my belief that this is due to many reasons, including and primarily because Prabhupada wanted it to , and also its the desire of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, its also my belief that over the many years the so called enemies of ISKCON, Srila Sridhar Swami and Srila Narayana Maharaja, have greatly helped ISKSON, to stabalise and to advance Prabhupada’s movement. Indeed, they were great friends of Prabhupada.
I would also like to see official acknowledgements of these events , to record the accurate histories and to make sure misunderstandings are cleared up and Tattva is reestablished in every way , currently there is still an over emphasise on the position of Diksa , and also a misunderstandings , namely, the need of devotees to study our acaryas literatures in our historic param para , also still the misunderstanding of our origins , which is with Krishna from His expansion as Balarama . Ultimately we came from a spirtual world, because Balarama is in the Spiritual world , He is offering us service there , those that don’t not take the offer , experience the Mahavishnu aspect of Balarama, through the three Visnu forms overseeing the independent jivas within the material worlds .
The founder of the International Society for Krishna consciousness AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would often say the quality of persons would be greatly enhanced if they would just add Krishna consciousness to their lives, in that regard , he said , like so many zeros, adding the figure 1 makes all the difference.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, the Spiritual master of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami, used to say there is no shortage of anything in this world accept Krishna consciousness.
Indeed, there are so many wonderful people with so many wonderful extraordinary qualities in all the disciplines and arts , within this world , which is said to be a miniscule reflection of something far greater , those of the spiritual planes , there , there is no loss or diminishing of anything or any qualities , rather an increase in experience with spiritual senses , with ever new experiences and playful enthusiasm, unlike the experiences of depleting senses made of matter , and a deteriating mind and intelligence.
Maha Maya , Yoga Maya , two sides to the Supreme Goddess of fortune
No one can stand before God without the help and sanction of the Supreme Goddess of fortune , no one can stand before the Supreme Goddess of fortune before stepping out Her shadow , the two forms of the Goddess are synonymous in one sence , but also serve different purposes . Everything She does is a service to assist in helping reestablish lost relationships and having reconnected the lost souls , She brings them the spiritual experience of the full beauty and majesty of Divinity . This is the best of purposes of life and the original intention of it , understanding and exchanging our love with Divinity or Krishna and His associates.
How is this achieved ? by testing the motives of a sincere servant , and facilitating the exhaustive desires of an individual to become the sole illusory independent enjoyer, in reality we are totally dependent on God and His energies , in our day time dream we are surrounded by family and friends, wealth and opulance and are always trying to rid oneself of supposed enemies, that disturb our Lordship plan . Although in reality, materiel life is so tuned to illusion that , friends can be the greatest enemies and enemies can be indirectly friends , serving to frustrate attempts of ” happiness ” ultimately Krishna says , ” I am your only friend ”
Christians indirectly speak of the devil’s alluring power , but , doesn’t he , the ” devil,” indirectly serve God? and anyhow, just who is the Devil ?, an Irish jig, and song puts him down as being whisky.
” Whisky, you’re the Devil the Devil I adore,” the lyrics go.
This philosophical question is posed and answered regarding how the complexity of the illusory energy works in its granting free will followed by a determinism, driven by subtle laws . Its purposes and power are to throw and cover the particle of consciousness . The spirit soul is spoken of in the Srimad Bhagavatam in many different ways and circumstances.
One who is really inquisitive will easily have all questions answered., but one who is crooked and insincere will continue to be tricked by the other side of the Goddess of fortune, we must always remember God is all Good in all circumstances at all times .
Ethical trading is an important term , just how ethical , ethical trading is , one would have to research the traders and financiers that make such claims.
What is the Vedic veiw of trading currencies , commodities , oil, stocks, and shares . Practically speaking, this is all carried out in self-regulatory ways . it’s far too complex for fleeting governments to get a handle on .
The overall results of the historical changes from micro to macro economics has been disastrous for 98 % of the population , what to speak of the enviroments and creatures who belong there , the Globalists make vast claims of taking a world out of poverty , but were the former localised economies with clean air and healthy food so bad ? Tradesmen were proud to work for a fair days living , you knew your local Baker .
Today the public are unaware of what goes on behind closed doors, with micro second trading , easy access to groups of persons setting up insider trading blocks , its common knowledge the dark Webb is full of deceptive crooked persons making the most of illegal trading , with not a legislator in sight , or law enforcement officers .
Unfortunately, this is all far too acceptable in current times . Central governance are lightweight, with lobby groups working to keep lightweight legislation loaded in their favour .
The Vedic view , simple , if knowing that others are being exploited , one turns a blind eye , casting ethics and morality to one side , one becomes implicated and one will recieve by natures laws , both physical and via karmic synchronicities results .
The Vedic systems would thoroughly overhaul , simplify investments , making it more localised and beneficial for home nations and local businesses as well as local communities , not for global conglomerates.
Because Western democracies, although originally having good intentions in the early stages , have become infiltrated and overly influenced by conglomerates and global finance companies, global financial powers now rule over the political classes , and democracy has lost its way . The original idea is to vote for good leaders , but unfortunately nobody knows what the qualifications of good leader are , and the real intelligentsia are being silenced by the media companies who are owned by Globalist , all media companies are political animals , now free thinking honest journalists are few and far between.
The Vedic reformation, which is under way, will educate people to see through deceit and redirect society for everyones progresssion and benefits , the real intelligensia will return.
“All occupational engagements, or dharmas, are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service, or dharma, should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.”
This particular verse highlights the greatest of cultures , far from Western materialism , its points to the significance of every person and gives value to them , the Greatness of God is that He assigns absolute importance to every living being . In the above verse, the method of how everyone can live their lives in positive therapeutic ways and benefit themselves is given , living life to the full in rich and rewarding ways , with inner nourishment , satisfied minds as well as our senses being satisfied in balanced ways ,
Material satisfaction of the sences is required by all living beings , and humans are no different, but the human is meant for something far greater, and the Vedic Culture was designed in such a way that educational experiences for everyone was linked to life ,opening up sn untapped inner resources for enrichment of consumers and peace of mind . The huge varieties of the different aspects of educational cultures , the arts, and various sciences were st every stage of life united with the ongoing experiences of sharing , living and loving centred around the source of all living and loving .
Like an artists pallet , society is of mixed colours , but a process of bringing pure knowledge in systematic progressive ways and painting a perfect picture of a harmonious society was the responsibility of the qualified intelligensia . Those who were Proffesors in the science of self realisation and who knew well the therapeutic methods of linking material sciences to spiritual ones .
Hegel is the great philosophical thinker , his studies of the metaphysical and the ontological realities of life can be a useful guide to us , unfortunately those who have been taught scientific materialism since childhood, tend to forget these great historical thinkers and , being educationally overwhelmed are drowned in a Darwinian educational systems that present hypothesis as fact based science.
Everything for Itself is describing the Absolute Autocrate , Divinity Himself, the cause of all causes . The whole of the cosmos , atoms, elements, compounds, and light itself as well as the the particles of consciousness that are expanded from one source . Everything ultimately has to have a source , But in the case of Divinity , there has never been a time He did not exist.
Under his supervision, and because He is all good, what’s going on in each individual’s life if fitting for a specific purpose. There is no point in our tiny selves thinking we may know something of the karmic synchronicities of countless particals of consciousness , i.e., the living entitles.
This is a macro observation standpoint , the workings of a multidimensional universes , naturally the micro standpoint is extremely limited, for instance, microbes are seen to act intelligently, but do you think one microbe could ever grasp or understand the intelligence of Einstein or Bohr Schrödinger ,Teller or Feynman .
Epistemological systems are described in the Vedas , that the supreme consciousness can make Himself personally known to individual tiny consciousness particles is inconceivable, as much as Einstein making himself known to a microbe would be , but the fact is Divinity can do so , just how this is so is written in detail throughout the Vedas including Bhagavad Gita .
The legitimate original Varna Ashram system is highly beneficial with the inherently good qualities of various persons naturally shared for the benefit of everyone else . In yoga systems, it’s said that life airs are dominant in different parts of the body , and so it is that different classes of men have their life airs differently situated , the most gross in the lower regions and the most spiritually and cultured persons within their brain substance. The social cohesion and social mobility running through the Varna Ashram workings is educationally oriented. It was based on knowledge and psychological awareness with the need for obvious progression of a mind , intelligence, and inner consciousness , so lifes full potential could be realised by everyone in time , time could also mean progressive succession of lives .
Naturally one should always seek good associations and guidance in any feild of life , good leadership from the highest of the Brahminical intelligensia saw to it that everyone would benefit in that way by arranging society accordingly by good administrative persons with the correct qualities. There was no question of a particular birth in a particular family limiting anyone. Consciousness , free will, and progressive steps are able to be accessed by anyone. Only a man who is unknowing , and thus not part of an intelligensia, would seek to limit or cage someone psychologically or physically.
Although freedoms are and should be freely sought , the best of freedoms should be understood. A child is always guided in their expressions of freedoms by their parents for the child’s good , education, and ultimate happiness.
Although it’s good to break out “beyond the mold ” that life trys to carve for us , first , its best to learn the ways of life and truely beneficial cultures of all kinds ,especially scientific and theological cultures, thus make a gradual steps to greater freedoms , but being careful to understand freedoms are not ever found in a confined body , mind or senses, but rather in the super subjective realm of spontaneous love , with Divinity and his associates , based on selfless service . Fools rush in where angels dare to tread , and careful progression is required as well as being open to persons who have a greater wisdoms , either materially or spiritually , bearing in the in absolute truth both are inextricably linked and beneficial.
The 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam , wherein the absolute pinnacle of all cultures are explained, comes after the careful study of the previous volumes.
Many atheistic subjective speculators boldly declare .” There is no God .”
If you ask them ” What do you mean by God ? ”
They really can not give any detail in their answers . Ultimately, unless you know what God is , you’ll not be able to say with any definite statements, ” There is no God “
At most, it’ll be some kind of emotional response that is given with very little understanding of theological or even objective scientific knowledge.
Albert Einstein said.
“Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. “
We have to carefully understand why Einstein says that and what he means .
Lord Krishna Himself in His Bhagavad Gita 10th Chapter .
He says “one must understand My Vibhuti’s ,” My Sciences , how in every detail I prevade every aspect of the creation , how I am the cause of all causes , including mind , body , intelligence and consciousness . How I am the knower of all bodies , and am situated with one fragment of myself within them all , and how the varieties of linking processes to Me are achieved through the multiple yoga systems . How I transmit absolute knowledge throughout the multidimensional universes either personally , in partial incarnations, or how I enter into the hearts of My empowered representatives.
One should also understand how I am within everything, yet outside of everything , how I am very near yet an inconceivable distance away , and how I am neutral to everyone, yet deeply attached to My family, friends and lovers .
So much to learn , and what I have just mentioned is a fragmental part of the learning . In spontaneous love , where the highest cultures are displayed , there is a whole science of emotional exchanges to explore, as well as the unlimited personalities exhibiting them in ever increasing and newer ways . Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami are the Proffesors.
