How to learn and try to do Bhajan ..within ISKCON or outside, and the examples of other acaryas

In ISKCON,  the idea is to understand how Prabhupada sings bhajans..it is not just singing but deep meditations,  like jappa , he spends 25 mins.. on just one bhajan at times , repeatedly singing over and over the same trancendental words of our acaryas .The point being , we should learn to do bhajans the way he teaches by his example , it’s not a melodious song for our enjoyment but these bhajans are full of prayer and a hankering for perfection,  or in higher states , deep separation and a feeling of helplessness .

So in our line we follow in the footsteps of the acaryas,  we do our prayers through their prayers,  and in our bhajans , we place ourselves beneath them , they are actually doing the pure bhajan , and we worship those who do bhajan , not thinking ” we are doing bhajan ” as Srila Bhaktisiddanta Goswami taught we place ourselves under those great souls and worship the worshiper , or those who wrote the bhajan , or can sing it , as Prabhupada can .

Spiritual bhajan , live for the moment.

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur used to say live in the moment and progress ye will call .
Spiritual silence means living for the spiritual moment in the land of the ever new …..
And being silent to material hankering and lamentations .
In the spiritual ever new realm, there is unlimited varigatedness , and its far from being silent . Although there is a silence of material hankering, they are conspicuous by their absence…
Have you experienced listening to your favourite music …is it not a reflection of the ever new .
Or your favourite sweet ..is it not a reflection of ever new..
Spiritual consciousness is ever new ……and increasingly attractive

The Srimad Bhagavatam tells of the nature of the life of independence from truth , a life of speculations , hypothesis,  theories and guessing.  A life of narratives and opinions , this is all quite natural when the living being is trying to establish his or her lordship over others . When the living beings turn away from absolute truth, they turn to the world of falsity and the material energies in the form of the subtle modes of nature construct so many relative arguments and the living beings are busy in life constructing their support bases for their particular opinions .Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita and throughout the Vedas establishes absolute truth and his truthful representatives who are free from karma and jnana understand it and live and breathe it .Krishna constantly comes to reestablish truth in a world where, truth  fast disappears.

There are bone fide relative truth connected to the absolute truth , persons in goodness , passion, and ignorance have different prescriptions for their particular social and spiritual mobility, but those are given within the Vedas . There are eighteen Puranas, six for persons in goodness,  six for persons in passion, and six for persons in  ignorance .

Philosophically based thoughts and religious or political thoughts and all they  encompasse are subject to high levels of speculations and assertions,  they cause conflict and violence. Thus the intelligentsia who know truth have accepted truth and who resonate truth should be approached.

Srimad Bhagavatam says this ..

Canto 6.4.31

Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the all-pervading Supreme Personality of Godhead, who possesses unlimited transcendental qualities. Acting from within the cores of the hearts of all philosophers, who propagate various views, He causes them to forget their own souls while sometimes agreeing and sometimes disagreeing among themselves. Thus, He creates within this material world a situation in which they are unable to come to a conclusion. I offer my obeisances unto Him.

This is further detailed, Srimad Bhagavatam .11.3.37.

“The one undivided Absolute Truth, Brahman, is perceived as threefold due to the varying modes of material nature—goodness, passion and ignorance. By further expansion of His potency, the functions of the mind, vital air, and false ego manifest. By the continued expansion of the Lord’s diverse energies, the demigods, the senses, the objects of the senses, and the results of material activity (such as happiness and distress) all come into existence. Thus, the material world is a combination of these subtle and gross manifestations, though the Absolute Truth remains transcendentally aloof from them.

Sri Guru comes in many forms ,

In regards to Guru Tattva, in essence, Sri Guru does not want unthinking persons who blindly and, in an unthinking manner, irrationally apply the vedas in a one way fits all manner.  Rather, he wants some assistance in spreading the messages of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu as he does in his  services to his Guru . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu message and mission in its formats can be easily analysed by studying the conversations Sri Caitanya had with Ramananda Roy , there we find a systematic and progressive march where ever one has started . Importantly, Sri Guru is opening his heart to those whom he feels want him to and who have faith in his inner life . He can bestow bhakti Devi’s mercy along with an intense enthusiasm to engage in giving all pleasure to Krishna,  Krishna’s greatest devotee Srimati Radharani directs the mood of Vrndavana and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu is bestowing Her mercy on those who step forwards.
We can learn to love  and appreciate all the various branches of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas accepting Diksa and  Siksa in various ways . Naturally every one is an individual and individually inspired,  so as such  some Diksa or Siksa Gurus who have a particular mood or approach to devotional services or dealings may attract an individual in a particular way . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself liked to hear from Ramananda Roy. For example,  Mahāprabhu teaches by example , He had  a Diksa , Sannyasa, and Siksa Gurus.
The whole of the param para through the sastra sanga may also  bestow their mercy , if one humbly preys to our param para  historical acaryas they may bestow the grace to enter into the trancendental insights of their writings and one who has connected themselves through faith and service to the current link open up all the flows of mercy

My statement..

The light energies of the sun combine and activate the rna and dna molecules in the buds and seeds, assisting in the process that produces sugars and the sweetness in flowers that the bees turn into honey

+5…….Ai response….

“That is a beautifully poetic and incredibly accurate description of one of nature’s most magnificent cycles. The journey from the sun’s energy to honey involves a fascinating sequence of biological and botanical processes:

Light Activation: When the sun shines on buds and seeds, specific wavelengths of light interact with the plant’s photoreceptors (like phytochromes and cryptochromes). This light energy triggers genetic instructions, activating specific RNA and DNA processes that signal the plant to grow, bloom, and prepare for reproduction.The Sugar Factory: This same radiant sunlight fuels the process of photosynthesis. Inside the chloroplasts, plants use chlorophyll to turn the sun’s light energy into chemical energy. This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose.Floral Sweetness: These sugars travel to the flowers, creating sweet nectar to attract pollinators—such as bees—who rely on this sugary reward.Transformation into Honey: Bees collect this floral nectar, which is mostly a complex mixture of water and sugars. Back at the hive, the bees process the nectar by adding special enzymes and continually fanning their wings to evaporate the water. Once thickened, this nectar becomes the rich, sweet honey we know.”

So , one of Krishna’s energies brings  tranformations, and  that brings more transformations, and  that brings tranformations.

Everything is happening by the supreme intelligence of the supreme scientist Krishna,  to know and see this means one is in Krishna consciousness.

We can very much praise the scientific community for working out in much detail how some of the material energies are functioning..its a bit like an engineer wondering over a newly designed machine and working out by analysis how everything works and what the purposes are , of course the engineer would not even dream that the newly functioning machine came to be by some random event with no consciousness connections, that would be madness wouldn’t it .

Divine algorithms…Consciousness defines karma binds .

Bg. 8.6..
BHAGAVAD GITA.

यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम् ।
तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भ‍ावभावित: ॥ ६ ॥

yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ
tyajaty ante kalevaram
taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya
sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ

Synonyms
yam yam — whatever; vā api — at all; smaran — remembering; bhāvam — nature; tyajati — gives up; ante — at the end; kalevaram — this body; tam tam — similar; eva — certainly; eti — gets; kaunteya — O son of Kuntī; sadā — always; tat — that; bhāva — state of being; bhāvitaḥ — remembering.

Translation
Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kuntī, that state he will attain without fail.

The complexities of karmic synchronicities are no problem for Lord Visnu, the supreme scientist who combines the subtle energies with the gross as the soul seeks happiness outside of a direct relationship with God , its a fruitless search , that is facilitated within the responsive karmic universe. Niels Bohr had some idea of this , he studied the Vedas and through quantum he thought of the many possibilities where nothing is defined. Consciousness defines and karma binds .

Open Ai gets the rights to go into public hands .
Massive investments are on the way .
Private money means global conglomerates have the freedoms to invest huge resources of cash into the information business . They will do their best and attempt to infiltrate cultures of every kind to reset the narratives with all sorts of messaging the way they want it said . Money talks, and literally, Ai will talk the talk in ways it’s master’s tell it to talk , generation after generation will be infiltrated intellectually and gradually brainwashed , at least that’s what they think .They will be winning the narratives of every kind with increasing Ai tools , tools so intricate and costly that governments will not be able to afford to legislate, its out of their hands .The narratives will sound exactly how whoever pays want them to sound
The only reason Musk brought the legal case is because he did not want huge competitors .

Narratives are always a problem  in the material world, and Lord Krishna resets the truth and disposes of the narratives time and time again and also favours Brahminical cultures that bring forth the intelligentsia in every situation and educational feild .

Truthfulness is essential for humanity. Why would one want to live in deceitfulness ? Deceit brings harm and is always motivated with one form of exploitation or another , however, truth is forever beneficial for everyone and at all times .

Krishna speaks the Bhagavad Gita as the systematic presentation of truth . If one wants to know the truth, one should approach the bone fide teacher of Bhagavad Gita, who teaches it and, importantly, lives it .

It’s is said that in Vedic circles modern democracies boil down to fools voting in fools , and we can add that the social media revolution added to the mainstream media means more fools are listening to more fools .
Narratives need editing , but how do you know you know ? and how do you know you know ?
BHAGAVAD GITA as it is, can be referenced , it analyzes matters and distinguishes truth from illusions.

More on truthfulness later

You cannot live in eternity if you are in a disturbing mode , what is that disturbing mode , the reluctance to satisfy the emaculate senses of Krishna under the direction of Srimati Radharani and Her friends or being directed by others of Krishna’s friends or family .
Then, one becomes captured by the time element, which spans from seconds to 311 trillion years . There is only ultimate good for ourselves and others when independence is volunteered and time is discarded. These progressive steps and learning and all the arrangements of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

You can appreciate and worship God as the supreme scientist , and who is responsible for creating  every detail of the universal and life facilities , and who sees to the cyclic creation , maintenance and destruction of the multidimensional universes  utalising the time element , one of His energies . However, one should learn to love God because of His all attractive personality and form and activities,  and leave to one side His majesty,  the land of love is called Goloka Vrndavana where love predominants majesty and where the sweetness of Krishna comes personally before one .

The supreme autocrat.

Sri Sri Radha Krishna have an unlimited and ever enthusiastic liking for enjoyment, and thus our vocation in life is to assist Them in Their ever new and increasing blissful states . Satisfying the emaculate senses of Radha Krishna will automatically and fully satisfy our own spiritual senses , the “Pranaya” or oneness of ourselves with the Divine couple is understood when , as AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains, we learn to satisfy our spiritual senses through their superior and supremely situated senses,
soul to soul ..
“This secret we are missing. We are thinking we shall be happy by trying to satisfy our senses. Kṛṣṇa consciousness means don’t try to satisfy your senses. You try to satisfy the senses of Kṛṣṇa; automatically your senses will be satisfied. This is the secret of Kṛṣṇa consciousness”
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Surrender to the supreme purusha .

Women’s liberalisation or mens liberation ?
Prakriti female , Purusha male .
Those who are prakriti should not take the artificial positioning of imitating those taking the positioning of a false purusha , rather those who are prakrita can demonstrate to the fake purusha the glorious and humble position of service and support . Those who are taking the postion a false purusha should give up their egotistical false master and Lordship roles accompanied by aggressions and learn something from those who are prakriti, because in the spiritual realms the role of prakriti is supremely adored by the supreme and one and only Purusha and He surrenders in affection ..

The symptoms of the soul are not just consciousness but also personality. Do you know of any individual consciousness particle that doesn’t exhibit it in one form or another individuality in inherant within the soul .

Even a particular tiny fish within an aquarium will exhibit particular ways of responding to circumstances and humans   much more so than another of the  group who dwell within the tank .

The human being is a special benediction granted by naterial nature , and much can be achieved by using the special intelligence in the correct ways .We should not become like a sophisticated animal.  Direct communication with Divinity says every theological text is possible. The methods of communication are  clearly outlined.

Human beings must first overcome the lower animalistic traits described as lower modes of nature but summarised as lust , anger , greed , envy , and general illusion . Imperfect senses , cheating , mistakes, and bewildered consciousness affect the material personalities who are entrapped within the body and mind and identity with it .

Our original pure personality , full of a  blissful, non envious, and loving nature , can be  experienced within the highest realms of existence wherein Divinity and trancendental personalites dwell . The goal of life proper is to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His associates . They had many times previously descended to these earthly planes and left records and instructions as well as knowledge of themselves . The Vedas have extensive records as well as recent commentaries.

The process of a  purificatory lifestyle and the therapeutic endeavours are all contained within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita . The real purpose of human life is to throw off the mud of conditioned life .

New age philosophical and psychological quacks are  misguiding many and adding more and more mud like substances that cover the original pure personality . Replacing  authentic sastra or theological sciences with pseudo psychological teaching in the name of liberalisation and freedom is foolhardy.

One should return to the trancendental ways and the traditions of family values that chalk out  the progressive and the well trodden paths of the elevated saints along with their followers.

In introducing  modern multicultural liberalisation of societies , we must look out for extremes that do more harm than good , although their intentions may have been to overcome many other types of misunderstandings and  applications of traditions , but one should learn from authentic sources. The Vedic Way is the balanced way with the true intelligensia at its heart .

The cell is covered by carbohydrates or sugars , they have practically incalculable amounts of hooking combinations that bring them together . It’s hard, hard chemistry to work out or manufacture from scratch. When evolutionary scientists try to ” fiddle ” around to create life from chemicals , they buy the already made carbohydrates, produced by nature , because of the complexity of the millions of ways sugar molecules hook together . Information and perfect chemistry originates  from nature , and it’s not possible to replicate from scratch , the question we should ask ourselves ” whose nature “

“”Carbohydrates, in the form of glycans (sugar molecules), cover every cell surface and can hook together in millions of different ways . This vast diversity in structure creates a unique “sugar code” known as the glycome, which is crucial for various biological functions, including cell-to-cell communication, immune responses, and identifying self from non-self .  The way these monosaccharide units (simple sugars) are linked and the branching patterns they form allows for a tremendous amount of structural complexity “

Life comes from life , consciousness is life , and consciousness directs the naterial energies,  nothing happens randomly.  Molecules certainly don’t move towards life , only when consciousness is present do molecules move , when a person dies, everything stops moving, including the chemistry. It fades away .The chemistry  or the building blocks to life have never been completed from scratch by scientists . They buy the initial building blocks already made by nature , when attempting to artificially attempting to create molecules and get them ” moving ” ,  It ends in failure ,because of  impurities in their proccess,  they have achieved only  5% purity in attempting to manufacture an rna molecule , but unless its  100% pure the chemistry falls apart ..Krishna makes everything 100% pure .Miller Uray is no further down the line after 60 years , although technically speaking, the world has made huge steps .

Child care iskcon

.This is currently being undertaken, and it’s one step up from the previous operations of ISKCON child care. because when independence is in place, that’s healthy for an organisation , no society should investigate itself . Independent professionals will be an  improvement, particularly when professionals who are being used are mandated themselves to call in local agencies and the police on hearing of suspicious circumstances immediately.

Gbc statement
What is meant by external
case investigations and what
will be the applicable legal
standard?
Historically, child abuse cases were investigated internally by ISKCON devotees. Despite the
professionalism and best efforts, the fairness of the investigation process was often contested.
In keeping with good governance and to guarantee a professional, impartial, and authoritative
investigation, the new model proposes that all future cases be investigated by professionals outside
of ISKCON. Thus, external investigators are outside independent professionals who carry indemnity
and are certified by secular and government authorities. They are highly trained professionals. Their
investigations are free of any ISKCON influence. That said, the hiring of outside investigators does not
mean that secular legal standards will be necessarily  employed. To the contrary, as prescribed by the CPO
Guidelines, the standards applied will be that of preponderance of the evidence – in lieu of proof beyond
reasonable doubt.
End of statement.

However , it’s noted ..

“A child protection officer must contact social services and the police immediately upon hearing any accusation or disclosure of child abuse if there is an immediate risk of harm, a crime is believed to have been committed, or the child requires emergency medical treatment.
The specific triggers for when these actions must take place are categorized below:
Call the Police Immediately

• Immediate Danger: If the officer believes the child is in immediate danger of being harmed or has just suffered a severe assault.
• Crime in Progress: If there is evidence or a strong
  More …
• Crime in Progress: If there is evidence or a strong suspicion that a serious criminal offence (e.g., severe physical or sexual abuse) has just occurred or is occurring.
  Call Children’s Services (Social Care) Immediately
• Disclosure or Suspicions of Abuse: When there is reasonable cause to suspect a child is suffering or is at risk of suffering “significant harm” in the form of physical, sexual, emotional abuse, or neglect.
• No Immediate Danger but Serious Risk: Even if the child isn’t in life-or-death danger this second (e.g., historical disclosures of abuse or chronic neglect), the officer must still make a formal referral to the local authority’s social care team. Social services must then make an assessment within 24 hours.
  Multi-Agency Action
  When safeguarding concerns reach the threshold of “significant harm,” both agencies will launch a joint Section 47 Enquiry to investigate and determine how to protect the child.”
  
  Also ..india have the same standard.
  , under Indian law, designated child care and child protection officers are legally mandated to report suspected crimes against children to the police.The specific reporting requirements depend on the law under which the crime falls:1. Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO), 2012Under Section 19 of the POCSO Act, any person (which includes child care officers, social workers, and institutional heads) who has the knowledge or apprehension that a child has been abused or is a victim of a crime must report the incident to the police or a Special Juvenile Police Unit.
• It goes without saying that professionals have the legal obligation to immediately inform the police…
