Richard Feynman once famously said you can have a PHD. and still be stupid , and in Vedic and theological terms , one could be academically astute but be very questionable in character, and morality of all kinds .
In Vedic culture we have social mobility in real terms , and the highest perfection in everyone’s life is to be brahman realised ,and actually go even beyond those realisations and reach Paramatma and Bhagavan consciousness, and even in Bhagavan consciousness , those that can enter into the understanding of Dhira Lalita Krishna are most complete.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has granted access to the secrets of Srimati Radharani playgrounds , and by Her grace is giving the highest ideal to the lowest of persons, thus the world magnanimity is applied to Mahāprabhu, the greatest show of magnanimity that there can be .
By reading the trancendental literature of all the Gaudia vaisnavas and by humbly associating with a service attitude. just about anyone can become knowledgeable and see the material world for what it is and enter into the spiritual world with a well trained yogic mind and a mentally conceived spiritual form
Many times, you’ll hear someone say ,” I can identify with that “
But who or what should we identify with ? Our childhood, our youth ,our middle age , or old age ? Or how about our political leanings ? Which political movement suits us ? left leaning, right leaning, or centre ground ? Persons are forever changing who or what they identify with . Sometimes someone is our friend sometimes the same person becomes our enemy , sometimes someone is very attractive as a partner to us , and a short time later we reject them , and find someone else . The Vedas indicate that the minds business is forever accepting and rejecting the sense objects . This world of ever fluctuating duality has to be understood , and the real observer should learn to advance the consciousness to a state beyond the duality of material life , when we examine the disturbances of dualities , we begin to realise such states occur because of excess and our own selfish motivations , we , at that point can climb higher in consciousness , and begin to contribute real happiness to others , without selfish calculations and ultimately undertake the ultimate sacrifice, contributing happiness in the planes of Divinity. Sacrificing for the sake of others without considering my own feelings is an elevated state . You’ll be pleased to hear such a sacrifice becomes very rewarding as the universal material and spiritual energies work in such a way that nothing goes in vain .
The Vedas encourages us to dive deeper into states of consciousness and explore a different sort of happiness , a happier state of mind , beyond the sense of sense satisfaction that even animals can easily obtain . The Vedas encourages us to consider whether we are boy , a girl , young , old , black ,white , rich, poor, intelligent, or not so ? , or are we just an observer of such conditions that are thrown upon us? And are we becoming overly affected , because of selfishness.
Let’s see what Sastra say .
nāhaṁ vipro na ca nara-patir nāpi vaiśyo na śūdro nāhaṁ varṇī na ca gṛha-patir no vanastho yatir vā kintu prodyan-nikhila-paramānanda-pūrnāmṛtābdher gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ
Translation
“ ‘I am not a brāhmaṇa, I am not a kṣatriya, I am not a vaiśya or a śūdra. Nor am I a brahmacārī, a householder, a vānaprastha or a sannyāsī. I identify Myself only as the servant of the servant of the servant of the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the maintainer of the gopīs. He is like an ocean of nectar, and He is the cause of universal transcendental bliss. He is always existing with brilliance.’ ”
This verse , with Vedic terms for our different social status and stages of life , offers an insight into the permanent identity of a soul in a specific relationship with Divinity , This may be a little esoteric for many to understand, but the principle is given , you are not the body , not the changing mind , not a deteriating and frustrated intelligence , but something beyond material calculations , and this super subjective realm is understood by sacrifice, and the ultimate sacrifice is one of pure service to Divinity , in a cooperative spirit , with others who have similar goals.
The Vedas delineate many other permanent relationships , that have nothing to do with atoms ,elements or compounds or an ethereal ever-changing mind and intelligence.
The original consciousness belongs in a permanent identity, which is ever new and ever enthusiastic to exchange love and as the song goes
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Maybe your fairy tale child hood imaginings have something to them
So far, an accurate and objective account has not been fully written or recorded in terms of the mistakes 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 has been recorded by the Goswamis and our acaryas, we should never have strayed independently from traditions of Gaudia Vaisnavism its a serious mistake and should be accounted for and corrected.
The founder acarya of ISKCON His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had intended for Gaudia Vaisnava to continue in its historic traditions , it does not take much research to understand what they are.
Every historical account ever written by our Gaudia acaryas that are contained in the Sruti should not differ from ISKCON .
The zonal acarya system set up was incorrect, as was the over emphasise on Diksa Gurus , and a reluctance of teaching the importance of Siksa Gurus , through the current and previous Acaryas , as clearly described by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur.
Unfortunately, we are left with a silent history or, at most vague hints, at what might have happened or who made decisions. They were difficult days, the men and ladies were young , inexperienced , but Prabhupada instructed them to seek help with Tattva from Srila Sridhar Swami , they did not want to hear his advice , which was to follow traditions of Diksa and Siksa .
Because of not following the traditions of Guru tattva , speculations were abound , early leaders forced Grhastas to be in a Sannyasa ashram to keep the management body strong , Guru tattva and management of the society were 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 , and nothing to do with Gaudia Vaisnava historic traditions.
The GBC , at that time became belligerent and head strong , Srila Sridhar Swami and later HH Narayana Maharaja were isolated , and ISKCON devotees found themselves locked into a system of management and spiritual guidance that was wrong .
Even though bad mistakes were made , that jeopardised the faith of spiritual lives of many , 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 misunderstanding , 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 , needs to be taught , 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 .
There are traditional systems of purification in Vedic culture, and these are progressed and changed according to time place and circumstances , currently in the age of Kali , an age of quarrel and hypocrisy , the Goswamis of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu have introduced a system of purification for men of the lowest qualities.
Such men can be made into Brahminical priests who can even conduct fire sacrifices .
The process of first initiation into the chanting of the Holy names of Krishna is followed after a time period by Gayatri mantra , which enables one to perform priestly services.
The Gayatri mantra ,is series of sacred chants that enable the person to realise that the real seer is the consciousness not the eye , of the fleshy body ,and the real experience of being is not because of a mind and intelligence, but because of the soul within and trapped in thd bodh , the Gayatri mantra supposedly is directed at the sun , but the sun is synonymous with the light of consciousness.
Thus, the consciousness goes through a series of steps so that proper vision of the existence of Divinity is seen and felt everywhere and in all beings .
Did the British Government ever consider , or make a plan for the assassination of Gerry Adams or even consider completely anhialating the IRA or Sinn Fein, or did they ever consider carpet bombing Belfast, where practically most people supported the idea of Ireland without British influences.
Of course, the British would have never considered using such barbarity.
Yet currently, the Western world governments , who spout freedom and democracy, seem fine with the Murderous tactics of Israel , its abhorrent that the world looks on , as thousands of women and children are slaughtered, a Vedic culture would never consider such unnecessary violence and murder as legitimate, what to speak of supporting it and supplying weapons to assist in the atrocities.
Shame on so-called peace loving Liberal democracies, the hypocrisy is clear to see .
Thus, aggressive militant democracy is being carried out all over the world, and the pen is more powerful than the sword. Ultimately, truth will out .
One simple example, people can not get enough food to eat in many parts of the world and even in wealthy countries. Nor do the majority have sufficient shelter or stability in their lives , homelessness or home insecurity , the mentally distressed are increasing and left untreated and drug addiction is a familiar sight along with addiction to many other things . The vast majority struggle financially, and their lives are artificial and contrived. The only relief is a mobile phone issuing messages and invitations to a sensual life , where all kinds of prostitution take place among the other types of promises of happiness , but that in reality bring peoples consciousness to further entanglements and complications.
People’s lives today are not lived in harmony with nature but rather nature and its creatures are being destroyed .Lives are also highly pressured , and the educational systems are biased and tainted towards the Darwinian hypothesis ,which suits the consumer society model. The Darwinians’ message is one life and oblivion. One life and die , scientific materialism is a life of apes and animals. There are also wars and conflicts in many parts of the world. Agitators from wealthy nations bring political instabilities, and then political puppets are planted so a counties resource can be exploited . A serious threat of a major world conflict can develop at any time with globalisation and exploitation of the demons dressed well wishers.
The Vedas say buisness persons should never have any charge of society, their only thoughts are profit at any cost , they have no idea of the need of people’s lives. They do not have an understanding of how society knits together, and they are clueless scientifically and philosophically and theologically.
So society should wake up and understand only the intelligentsia who have first class qualities in all respects , should guide societies . In Vedic Culture, the administrative classes and business classes were always under their supervision , and the modern democracies , have been infiltrated , with fake narratives with the help of social media only globalist can afford to be representatives of democracy .
Thus democracy is demon crazy , and its inevitably spiralling out of control.
The Vedas , and the Mahabharata explains why democracy is a system of fools voting in fools, because unless you know how a leader should lead and what it means to lead in ways for the benefit of all beings , you shouldn’t vote .
In the Vedas, it is stated there are four ages that constantly turn in cyclic movement , whilst the 311 trillion years of Bramha’s life is being lived out , its interesting to note so far , approximately half has of his life has passed.
Parts of the universe partially close down, during the Bramha’s rest periods, and its calculated every approximately 4.5 billion years pass by , where the lower and parts of the middle planetary systems are rested before being “rebooted.”
Treta, Satya ,Dvarpa, and Kali are the names of the time periods that operate in cyclic cycles.
Satya yuga lasts approx 1.8 million years
Treta yuga lasts approx 1.3 million years
Dvarpa yuga lasts approx 900,000 years
Kali yuga lasts approx 432.000 years .
Each particular age has specific qualities of consciousness, this current age of Kali, is symptomised , as the Vedas have predicted by quarrel and hypocrisy, and the degradation of consciousness towards animal type consciousness, the only real interests of the vast majority of humanity is eating ,sleeping sex and snatching and defending territories , the majority of people are Darwinians who think and act like sophisticated animals, thinking….one life , death ,finished .
One of the main tools of Kali perhaps , is current social media, where just about anything goes , practically no legislation is present, with many unforeseen future consequences for a younger generation , although governments make noises of concerns, but leave it at that .
Theological sciences and good morals are falling by the wayside, and instead, scientific materialism becomes the ” religion ” of faith , preached in universities and schools worldwide. Darker elements and dubious persons both within governments and in a myriad of other prominent and influential places , inflict disorder and uncertainty in people’s lives , creating havoc and poverty worldwide.
A glimmer of hope, though. The Vedas predict a golden age in Kali. A short burst of the most auspicious happenings , and that age is in its beginnings , and it began, at the time of the appearance of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, so desperate times but , as well , a gradual building of knowledge and awareness, giving people the ability to discriminate between truth and lies .
Is it difficult using logic and reasoning to consider that higher , lower , and middle planetary systems could exist with full ranges of different types of consciousness experiencing countless bodies , some gross , some less so , designed and tailor made to satisfy , after all , take a look at our planet , everywhere you will living conscious beings living lives .
According to the Vedas , consciousness of both our past , present, and future are all inextricably linked , as Einstein might say, ” Space time continuum.” Also, everything has an origin , and so does individuality and form and free will.
The Vedas speak of the form of Divinity, Krishna, along with all of all His associates. Personalities, along with forms that are forever exchanging intimately all kinds of artistries and pleasantries along with humours , in the spontaneous beauties of pure consciousness .
Such description touch on a mere fraction of the opulence of the super subjective realm , way above the heavenly delights .
Whatever we see in this world has origins in the absolute, the cause of all causes , who is the ever increasing catalysis of self perpetual bliss .
Looking carefully at mankind , and every species , we see scales of opulence .Why so ? The Vedas indicate that every consciousness can access esoteric beauty far beyond its comprehension , Divinity sends His representative to show the full potential of consciousness. While in the human form of life , such esoteric truths are accessible.
When we turn to the Vedas , the real potential of our futures are drawn up , but the material energies and our attraction for them can get in the way , both knowledge and detachment come together as a package one must aquire.
Unless one understands the Vedas and its messages, one simply wastes one’s life as a temporary sophisticated animal.
Love is seen everywhere , in every species, we see affection and love , the founder Acarya of ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami makes this observation to his followers , and thus the Vedas teach humans are not alone in having souls . Who or what are the origins of these feelings, why should they be present in every heart ? The heartless Darwinian claims it’s a mechanism of survival of the fittest , a strange heartless conclusion.
The Vedas can help us understand the origins of love and playfulness , the ontological truths of love and how it decends and permeates the entire universe, is very clearly defined.
The three main personalities responsible for it origins and distribution are Lord Krishna, Srimati Radharani, and Lord Balarama, along with Their many expansions , who are expressing various degrees and different types and variations of love .
Although it’s said that Love is inherent within the soul , love is never a static or fixed , it has an unlimited expanding potential , that’s because the abode of love and the object of love are different . If the object of love is unlimited, this means there are unlimited possibilities within the abode of love . The chief personality who are the abode of love, is Srimati Radharani , who displays the highest degrees of love and is therefore considered the supreme Goddess of fortune . Balarama exhibits a different kind of love , but He also expands as Radharani’s sister to assist in Her love of Her eternal paramour Sri Krishna . So, the highest and most complete abode of love lies within the heart of Radharani . Both Radharani and Balarama are intimately connected to Krishna and , Their love for Him is incomprehensible . If we could acquire one drop of Radharanis’ love for Krishna , the whole of the universe would be inundated . Its unlimited in nature as much as Krishna is unlimited, so much so that in Radharanis case , Krishna is always trying to understand her supreme and ever expanding love . The object of love Krishna , can not understand Radharani’s heart, which is an abode of incompressible and unfathomable love .
Krishna comes to display to the devotees something of this incomprehensible love in His appearance as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Anyone who comes in touch with one of Radharanis intimate associates can aquire a tiny particle of a drop of the nectar ocean that is an unlimited tumultuous ocean of love which is the heart of Radharani , and as before said , just one drop of that ocean can drown the whole world in love of God .
Because there are arrangements between different personalities for transitioning of love , there are examples in the Vedas of one type of love developing or changing in nature, thus for example, Radharani may give permission for one of Balaramas associates who understand love the way Radharani does , and allow them to enter into Her loving domain.
Or someone from Vaikuntha who has love with awe and reverence may trancend the awe and reverence and experiences spontaneous love , this all happens by association.
Thus, we are not dead stones ,and love is never limited and can be transitional.
The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.
The qualified and authentic Brahminical intelligentsia have properly understood matter and consciousness and accept and can see logically and scientifically that the inconceivable energies of our universal affairs appear to work in set orderly ways , and naturally they conclude that what Krishna clearly says in Bhagavad Gita can be seen to happen , intelligence is at work .
The Brahminical thinkers also accept that such intelligence behind the universal order would be rationale and thus obviously wish to communicate with other living beings , and to that end put in place different measures or systems for that to be achieved , so open communications can be acheived.
Inspiration and revelation , which in turn can take the form of written words , should obviously be accepted as a possibility, as much as anyone on any given topic , who has genuinely understood or have found new original insights it will be able to communicate it to others .
Michael Behe from the intelligent design movement has nicely coined the phrase “irreducible complexity.”
I think the above verse from Sri Isopanisad concurs with his thinking, and Behe being an intelligent and spiritual person seems to have been inspired by Divinity Himself to come up with that phrase.
The Vedas fully elaborate on how subjective evolution takes place , meaning a mental state is responded to by a universal machine , which in turn offers specific tailored material bodies, minds, and intellects to suit .
The mechanistically driven chance affairs , minus outside agencies , of being a specific cause of anything , the Darwinian veiw , is deemed illogical and objectively unscientific. In other words, it remains clearly subjective speculation.
There are many mysterious ways that the machines of the body are manufactured. Here is one such example.
“In biological organisms, amino acids appear almost exclusively in the left-handed form (L-amino acids) and sugars in the right-handed form (R-sugars). Since the enzymes catalyze reactions, they enforce homochirality on a great variety of other chemicals, including hormones, toxins, fragrances, and food flavors.”
Enforce implies an enforcer , an engineer who is making distinctive plans , and it, of course, baffling why chirality functions in these ways .
