In glorifying Jesus Christ, we should remember Bethlehem and the Holy Lands are not mere geopolitical locations but rather a state of the pure spiritual mind . Enemies are not so much external forces or even other countries or  other faiths, but rather, they are our own . Many times, someone’s faith makes them proud in the wrong way . There are different types of irreligion , including those who twist the meaning to suit personal ends of a particular group of persons living in a geographical location .The five types of irreligion are given in the Vedas . The enemy can literally be within , and at times at  the very heart of our own faith if our scholars and theologians mistranslate or misinterpret pure scripts.
Jesus Christs’ persecution, for instance, came from within the establishment.
In spiritual life, we guard against our own mind and fanaticism of any kind and should be familiar with theological values so that misinterpreted scripts and those who pose as purely spiritual but are not so can’t fool us .

The pogues .

The Pogues Xmas song reminds us of the fragile condition of human nature that is liable to erupt and explode at any time , but also we are reminded of the nature of a pure consciousness and forgiveness.  Good hearts are actually inherant,  its built up conditioning that makes the good appear to be bad . Conflicts can and should be put to one side , music, arts, and theological consciousness can very quickly move people’s hearts , and the real pure person can be glimpsed.

Hildegard von Bingen.

Any person who wants to understand the real heart of Christianity can do so in various and profound ways, non more so than examining the life and works of Hildegard von Bingen the trancendental musician,  artist , philosopher and pure theologian who is able to transmit the pure original teaching of Jesus and his Divine father.

We should remember Vrndavana or Bethlehem or Mecca or the like are ultimately a state of pure mind , not a geographical location.

Creating a Vedic world within the world of Kali

Creating a family with  spiritual values ..

His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has made an attempt to use the educational systems of the Vedas and create a  world  free from the  ignorance of scientific materialism ,after all  a world that does not understand dualism is a world of sophisticated animals who exploit hunt  and kill in sophisticatedand underhand ways .  In forming ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , the Vedas is being  brought to light . The idea is that  everyone can live in a harmonized atmosphere where differences are respected and facilities that everyone needs, including the creatures of the earth ,can all  be easily obtained and shared .In order for this to be achieved the intelligentsia must be prominent and recognised for who they are in every feild. Different classes of men have specific qualities , for instance a business man can only think of profit , thats good , but such persons are clueless when it comes to how to govern or protect society. ISKCON  is based on the Srimad Bhagavatam,  Bhagavad Gita, as well as the eighteen puranas that bring a natural and  systematic education through its various cultures.  This also naturally allows for all  the specific needs of a ” multicultural ” society , where differences can be lived out in harmony.

Some people may openly criticize ISKCON, or Gaudia Vaisnava societies  for their efforts, and immature thinkers probably dont understand the significance of their work and their long-term vision. Bringing Devi varna ashram within a modern world is the goal , and it’s a long-term goal .

Traditional ashrams  or religious cultures , generally have  women and men within their own settings .The Nuns and Monks live separately all over the world . Family life was  absent, and interactions with society were limited.

In creating ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had the vision that the whole world should be  given the opportunity to practice deep  Krishna consciousness  every varna and every ashram included . In so doing ,  ISKCON and Prabhupada have successfully brought Krishna consciousness opportunities to one and all in very practical ways all over the world. The revolution has begun, but we need to learn more .

If Prabhupada had created traditional Ashram systems , many aspects of society would not have been included in the cultivation of Krishna consciousness . Currently, it’s witnessed that ISKCON is successful and is fast  permeating everywhere in the world. Its influences are growing in all of the  varnas and ashrams.

Earlier days  in ISKCON were very blissful and revolutionary  but particularly difficult in many respects . Young inexperienced leaders had a lot of responsibilities , and many couldn’t manage well .

  Consequences of failure can be problematic . There is no excuse for irresponsible and harmful behaviour,  but we can not assume the utopian dream that all is rosey as soon as someone walks into an Ashram . Risks are  there, and now manage  a lot better , as in all  religious institutions as well as other types of institutions.

Certainly, Prabhupada, through his preaching methods , has opened up the whole world , every single aspect of society can now access  a Krishna consciousness experience, and the success of  his mission is astounding.

Protestant , Catholic , Suni , Shiiat , Zionist , Rabbi , Smarta Brahmana , of a cast system , or a brahmana by  quality .

Every one of these categories of persons attempts to  understand properly theologies and can all be properly thought of in context.

Not all men  or women are at the stage of desiring exclusively  pure devotional service to the Lord , mixed devotion is in the mix, and progressive practice is within them all .

Some may have devotional attitudes mixed with many other motives like political or material perfection for personal benefits. These  are naturally reflected in the religious minded societies  but should be recognised for what they are by the scholars of each tradition. The highest and lowest of standard must be made clear , otherwise, the lowest will pass as the highest,  that’s called cheating religion .

Birds of feathers flock together. The Vedas , being extremely broad, can  incorporate all  motivated persons as well as pure persons , and they put  them into  four categories and bring relative connections between them all .

The categories are Karma yogis  …jnana yogis  …astanga yogis  and pure Bhakti Yogis ..

Each of those four categories have various followings, but also many subdivisions that are based on and according to  progress in disciplines . This is according to how an individual can transition to  spiritual understanding of greater levels . The ultimate goal is pure dedication and devotion towards Divinity.

In Vedic Culures, the  pure “person Bhagavat”, is the  personification of the ancient Srimad  Bhagavatam . Such a person is in a Gaudia Vaisnava disciplic succession . They are  extremely well versed in the Vedas and take into account time place and circumstances when it comes to application of the Bhāgavatam . They will be able to give a thorough analysis of all  topics within the Vedas  and relate them to contemporary times .

Krishna says in 7th chapter of Bhagavad Gita..

TEXT 16: O best among the Bhāratas, four kinds of pious men begin to render devotional service unto Me – the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.

TEXT 17: Of these, the one who is in full knowledge and who is always engaged in pure devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me.

TEXT 18: All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal

.TEXT 19: After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.

TEXT 20: Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.

It’s absolutely vital to find a pure representative of God in order to advance fully in spiritual life  who  can correctly guide people’s claims of purity ….there are many who pose as devotees who are actually demons or  with mixed  personal motives .

Thus, checks and balances are in place in Vedic Culures.  True Gurus , true  saints,  and theological texts always align.

The pure teachers, both of a past and the present , along with the scriptures consisting of  both the  Sruti and Smriti, are essential to help us  avoid those that will do us harm.

This is what Krishna tells us in Bhagavad Gita.

Chapter 16, Verse 13-15

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.

An analysis of the state of Western politics was that  formerly, the king snatched power from the Catholic Church in the United Kingdom and set up his own church and administration . Later  Cromwell snatched power from the king and  gave power to politically influenced persons, mostly landowners . In modern times,  the business classes are controlling and influencing the weak and unqualified political classes . In the USA, having  direct  rule , Donald Trump leads the way . The business class wants money at any cost , employees, or the environment or decent behaviour will not stand in their way . Wars , deaths, and exploitation are caused by greed and ignorance of others’ rights . Encroachments are the very nature of the ruthless businessmen.  If they are artificially put in charge of a country, they will put the country in debt by lowering taxes , to increase their own profits. Currently, the USA is in 38 trillion debt .
These business persons are ruthless and have no real care except their wallet.
Thus , the Vedic way is the intelligentsia who are philosophically minded and compassionate to all , hold the life long king  to account making him responsible to carry out duties within  his political administration that are just and fair . Such leaders are compelled to instigate governmental and compliance systems so that  businessmen operate with real  free market economics , not fixed global monopolies. The business communities must protect its workforce and provide them with sufficient resources to live , including a home to live in , and must respect others’ cultures and countries.
Democracies are crumbling and have been infiltrated by the conglomorates who fund politics and fund mainstream media, causing the unthinking layman to remain unthinking….thus fools are voting in fools

The principle followed by Mahāprabhu as delineated by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu in his conversations with Ramananda Roy is to come to the essence.

We are not discarding the Varna Ashram system and its true worth , the gradual developmental process of association and training by the intelligentsia in all their various capacities are an essential element of the development of Krishna consciousness .There are cor and peripheral elements to Krishna consciousness. 1st class devotees, 2nd class, and 3rd class devotees are always situated in the world in every culture.
But what Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given society is the essence of love of God .
No mater what your external circumstances by Nama Sankirtana chanted with sincere purposes, one can aquire love of God immediately.  However, a top-class Brahminical man , although externally knowing sastra and the formalities of cultures, may  or may not aquire what Mahāprabhu has given , depending on a state of humility of the heart . Bhakti is in the hands of those pure devotees who have it , and they bestow it. Thus, causless mercy , mercy above justice is an important principle demonstrated by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu.

The more the technological world heats up, the more the top dogs will chase down and kill for what they consider are precious minerals and earth of every kind , including the last snatches for oil reserves.
Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has everyone thinking of the immediate circumstances and needs of the body , at the cost of anybody else’s body ..Welcome to the world of the libeterians and global conglomerates who manipulate and infiltrate democracies and society, and now with Ai propaganda….The businesss man has no heart for the world .
None of the above is the Vedic way , which is one of respect for life and culture, along with an understanding and cooperative spirit based on the scientific reality of dualism.

From Rolls Royce to a beaten up Ford , or the reverse

Reincarnation means one is forced to identify with the new circumstances , for better or worse, much of what was previously experienced is forgotten or taken away , however subtle elements remain in many and most cases , some very strong feelings within our inner selves develop in set circumstances and some less so .
The inner consciousness is a fascinating and complex topic , its delved into within the vedas . Psychological matters of every kind are broadly explained , karmic synchronicities play out in innumerable ways. Although we are not dead stones , nothing is fixed , particular behaviours can offset the negative or bring new difficulties .Everything is moving within the responsive karmic universe.
External circumstances and internal circumstances are two calculations of this world. The man in the Rolls Royce could be happy or living a miserable life , the man with the beaten up Ford could be happy or living a miserable life . Identifying with mere external circumstances is something not recommended in the Vedas , rather, the journey of the inner consciousness is given priority.
Eventually, everyone has to step out of their cars
But is life only about the machine like body ?..

The founder acarya of ISKCON caused some controversy amongst the media in the USA in the 1960s pointing out that on  average, men’s brains are larger than women’s brains.

Recently, studies show that male brains are typically 8-13% larger than female brains . This difference in size is not related to intelligence, as both male and female brains are, of course, similar . It’s also clear ladies and men are as equally intelligent in their own ways ,  intelligence differs  according to one’s karmic position, and there are different types of intelligence. It was Richard Feynman who said you could have a pocket full of PHd’s and be a complete idiot .The Vedas indicates that the greatest use of intelligence is to have the wisdom and insights to be able to separate consciousness from matter . The objective world of dualism.

It’s the role that ladies  play in modern times that have changed  from former times . So has much in life and especially the economy. Everything is mighty expensive, and everyone is encouraged to become as rich as possible,  and if you want a big house, big car , and big everything else, both mothers  and fathers have to work hard . Schools and other educational institutions provide all kinds of directions  to children and from an early age . In former times, mothers played more the home and educational role

Ladies in historic times have always played an intelligent and important role in supporting their husbands and children, giving much needed support and insights with great emotional care. and they still do. In modern times however  Vedic cultures can be and are adapted . The priorities and principles of ladies supporting their men , who are carrying out their duties properly and work hard for the family is a good one, of course . It’s the essential element that  ladies bring and bring stabilised families that are healthy in body , mind, and spirit. With the mothers spending as much time as possible with their children. The choices are how much money we need , but equally how to give the best of times and security for the family.

So the Vedic life of simple living and  high thinking with family orientated traditions and loyalties  is good for everyone. Along with automatically further development in one’s consciousness without the  hindrance of dealing with broken relationships and all that brings.

Modern life and liberalism can be troubling, especially if it’s centred around the speculations and teaching of Darwinian scientific materialism of one life, one death , so what the he’ll,  let’s go with the minds flow . We should guard against those who advocate liberalisation of family and cultural values based on theological sciences of consciousness development

One Vedic perspective.

It can be seen as
Geeks and quasi intellectuals manipulating history and established cultures . Influences upon media , science , politics , religion , and social sciences are taking place, an attempt to make a one world libeterian culture predominantly USA led to suit the economic vision of ruthless atheistic conglomerates .  Businessmen should never have the power to run  or influence public office or spend money on destroying cultures and history or  promoting scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis.  The world is their’s for the taking , they think and their money buys how people are educated .The world of scientific materialism with Darwins shadow darkening traditional cultures  . Ai authorities want to infiltrate and change the wisdom of family values stemming from tried and tested  theological cultures based on objective sciences and replace it with atheistic liberalised subjective speculations. Their goals are to destroy  predominantly localised economies based on non encroachment and respect of other cultures , those who care for every living thing that’s found in nature and care for nature herself ….

Obviously, some Ai is useful, but their hidden influences need examining

More on this soon..

But why not ride the right waves ..

Yoga and great theological cultures are like surfing.
The surfers are sitting out in the ocean watching the waves roll in and crash into the shore , they neglect to ride them and only choose the best of them .
They are waiting for far, far greater waves to ride,  that can really satisfy them  Although in the material world, everything crashes at death , some  thoughts and desires are beneficial  and progress our journey to pure consciousness , most should be ignored. Transformations of energies are occurring. Krishna’s material or spiritual energies are interrelated and can liberate or entangle .
Nothing is separate from Krishna , but choose the right waves of energy and transform the highest of the waves of the best of culture into pure spirit .
Bhagavad Gita teaches how .

The Vedas bring us  evidence of practical , observable, and objective  processes of the  decending and systematic distribution of all kinds of knowledge. It’s in Divinities care . Cyclic cycles of the universe mean knowledge of all kinds has to be consistently and repeatedly reintroduced , essential practical knowledge, as well as  spiritual knowledge, is essential for mankind.  In current times   , as was the case in the past, many practical and fitting technologies are given to mankind , different ages bring differences in priorities , some more materialistic others more spiritually oriented . We can observe that a particular person receives specific insight into many specific fields of knowledge. They create something wonderful or solve a problem ,  whatever is needed for humanity, even  great musical symphonies . Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, ” I am the ability on man,” we term it a gifted person.
Suddenly it has  been experienced in the scientific field by scholars a  particular problem can be solved by a particular person who has been racking their brains , and unexpectedly, the solutions come suddenly appear in their minds  perhaps whilst in the bath , when they were least expecting it . Beethoven used to say that music would begin to flow into my head . Divinity has the responsibility to guide mankind directly or through his agents , so certain great personalities are always amongst us to bring what’s needed  ,  all of them specialising in various fields of knowledge,  wisdom, or the arts and ultimately in theological sciences. Previously executed pious activities or sacrifices qualify one to become gain insights and ” channel ” wisdoms
