Dawn chorus just isn’t what it used to be.

In Vedic times , the leaders were respectful towards all living beings. They had equal responsibility towards every that lived ,  and under the direction of a  wise council of persons who were knowledgeable about consciousness , they knew that the  consciousness  present meant that the living being was a soul in a particular body for particular reasons , and should be regarded equal to humans , in terms of their rights of existence.

Unfortunately we cannot say our current leaders are at all knowledgeable about many things , especially about consciousness , most of them are either Darwinians or the have no spiritual scientific understanding of consciousness , and foolishly assume only humans are really conscious.

There ignorance is reflected in the way they ruthlessly treat the environment and the creatures that live with it , whether the sky , land or sea .

Here is an example of their callousness.

The following lists percentage of  declines of some bird species recorded in the Common Bird Census between 1970 and 1999 , todays figures would be considerably more alarming.

Tree sparrow  -95 per cent…. Corn bunting  -88 per cent…. Willow tit  -78 per cent ….Spotted flycatcher -77 per cent ….Woodcock  -74 per cent…. Starling  -71 per cent …..Turtle dove  -71 per cent ….Song thrush  -56 per cent….. Bullfinch  -53 per cent ….. Skylark  -52 per cent…. Cuckoo  -33 per cent

Bhagavad Gita 16.9.

Lord Krishna tells us  how to recognise the work of those with demoniac  mentality, or who dwell in ignorance.

…”.the demons, lost to themselves, and with no real intelligence, engage in unbeneficial ,horrible works meant to destroy the world.”

Jesus said You’ll know people by their works .

It’s time to select leaders who are the real intelligensia , and bypass politicians who at  most are sophisticated animals with absolutely no wisdom in real terms .

Spiritual life really is simple for the simple

THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ISKCON And ITS VISION
Srila Prabhupada under the inspiration and instructions of his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddanta Goswami Maharaja established The Hare Krishna movement to fulfill the desire of Srila  Bhaktivinod Thakur, who envisioned a united world of philosophy, science and religion . Bhaktivinod Thakur had an extremely broad understanding of Divinity , as well as the Vedic teachings , these traditions that he wished to give the world are the essence and practices of Rupa Goswami, that he saw would meet the needs of modernity. Rupa Goswami was personally and especially trained and taught spiritual disciplines that suited a modern age by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is defined in the 5000 year old Srimad Bhagavatam to be an incarnation of Lord Krishna. and regarded as The supreme personality of Godhead. The teachings are centred around a gradual evolution of consciousness initially through Devi Varna Ashram , (practices that link to ones occupational duties ) and are directed to specifically please Divinity , the teachings culminate in full Love of God as exhibited by the residents of Vraja and particularly Srimati Radharani and her confidants . It’s a fascinating spiritual journey of self-discovery and an evolution of consciousness.

At night the clouds cover the moon ,but by the light of the moon the clouds are seen .

The pure consciousness is covered by conditional mental systems, but by the pure consciousness, the soul , the mental movements are observed.

IN THE WORDS OF A.C.BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA.

The transcendental vibration established by the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, is the sublime method for reviving our transcendental consciousness As living spiritual souls, we are all originally Kṛṣṇa conscious entities, but due to our association with matter from time immemorial, our consciousness is now adulterated by the material atmosphere. The material atmosphere, in which we are now living, is called māyā, or illusion. Māyā means that which is not. And what is this illusion? The illusion is that we are all trying to be lords of material nature, while actually we are under the grip of her stringent laws. When a servant artificially tries to imitate the all-powerful master, it is called illusion. We are trying to exploit the resources of material nature, but actually we are becoming more and more entangled in her complexities
