  • Wise up Divinity ? or Darwin ? The Vedic reality of alliances in sciences , religion , and political affairs.

    Aug 21st, 2026

    Wise up and check out of illusion .

    People in general always have and always will need guidance to navigate their way through life . Leaders amongst men and women are the arrangements of Divinity and not Darwin . Survival of the fittest takes on a whole different meaning outside the Darwinian hypothesis . In Vedic theological terms, it means preservation of our human form of life or advancing it to higher realms and ultimately the spiritual realms . Sophisticated animal life means next life animal kingdoms . Were your ancestors apes, no , will you join ape communities,  maybe , depending on how you live in the responsive universe. Philosophically speaking , as well as scientifically speaking , everyone appears ultimately clueless about life , and are left to their own guessing for meanings or directions to take . Although when reincarnation is taken into account , we will find intuitive learnings and affiliations with philosophical concepts and theological sciences , they are instinctively present in some . Krishna says such enquiries and progress in consciousness inquiry never dies and carry on next life . In reality , however, most people dont know where they came from or where they are going . They somewhat rely on past ancestral traditions , including various histories , and also the many types of sciences that have developed . Such scientific research can either help or hinder the inquisitive . The philosophies , sciences, and cultures , if we examine them in detail , have always sprung from theological cultures and have similar ways of considering life , inclusive of Divinity , although from different parts of the world and time periods . There is only one God who is looked upon in different ways , like most topics do , the Vedas indicates .  Theologically based sciences and cultures , be they a personal understanding of Divinity or an impersonal explanation , are explained clearly within the Vedas and are interelatable to the intelligentsia. Great cultures take such dualism into their  socio-political affairs and shape policy accordingly . If one examines carefully the history of law , justice, and social sciences , it can be clearly seen that they have all arisen from similar theological cultures . For instance, within the Vedas , an integrel part of the Artha veda are the completed instructions and recommendations of how wholesome societies knit together in essential socio-political structures . Divinity has arranged for different types of persons within societal affairs , and the Vedas make clear what their qualities and duties are . Progressive guidance for all social groups are within the Vedas, and it brings both social and spiritual mobility for all . Governance and compliance systems for administrations  are also contained in  broad-based teachings . Theological and philosophically driven cultures  are always based on the objective sciences of dualism , the understanding of consciousness, and the body as two entirely different energies . Laws of physics do not affect consciousness, but how one acts within those laws has far-reaching consequences for the consciousness within the responsive universe. Without the sciences of dualism , humanity decends into the animal kingdoms , and humans can be termed as sophisticated animals .
    Thus, in Vedic culture and other theological progressive cultures , there includes an element of conservation of the  essential aspects of living , the living soul is prioritised not only the needs of a body . This is meant for the culture of higher learning in consciousness . Animals can not culture consciousness . Governance and compliance are seriously taken within Vedic cultures, but  elements of freedom and democracy are also within its systems, alongside caring and knowledgeable autocratic authorities.
    Successful people lead disciplined lives , of course , and that goes without saying . Freedom needs to be understood carefully . Otherwise, in the name of freedom , one can be  helplessly bound to degrading circumstances and call it freedom.
    The world of dualism is a reality . Scientific materialism is an illusion stemming from a  speculative hypothesis , unfortunately, it is taken as fact based sciences and a licence to become a Darwinian sophisticated animal .  Objective sciences are essential for us to clearly understand life’s potential , that was why originally Cambridge and Oxford were established to study theological based objective sciences.  Speculative guessing is not scientific. A clear objective understanding leads one in an entirely different direction from the Darwinian.
    Thus .
    Albert Einstein said .
    “Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.”
    The thoughtful person understands his meaning…

    In philisophical and theological calculations , it’s a matter of understanding the essential intricacies of a discipline that brings freedom  or a “ freedom that hopelessly binds one “ in following a wayward mind and senses.

    Never the twain shall meet .

    The West favours atheistic conglomerate liberalisation , democracies led by and influenced by businessmen who see profits as more important than traditional cultures . Theological and philosophically  led aligned cultures with dualism are still prominent in some countries and are still with us to degrees .

    Essentially, one should become a philosophically minded person and not rely on others to do your  scientific thinking . Divinity and the universal order appear to have made ample arrangement for knowledge acquisition , but our hearts must be in the right place ,  automatically , truth is found by the sincere.
    Objective sciences gives us a clear indication that life is no accidental  affair , there is much evidence of an intelligent design . The depths of knowledge that humans can realise if they desire to understand is clear . It’s easy to grasp and self-evident truth. When societies are led by the intelligentsia and not fast buck businessman who are clueless in philisophical matters and care nothing of them , people will regain their inherant happiness and wise up to real objective sciences . People using religion for political reasons should  be rejected,  we can never find in-depth  theological knowledge from  self-centred or ill -motivated politicians.

    Dawkins dreams , everyone’s nightmare

    Religion is an aftermath….of life’s arrival…says Dawkins and Cronin . They assume themselves as authorities of knowledge and as leaders of scientific communities . They also feel its their responsibility to  educate and enlighten the world of their “realisations ” of so-called fact based” truths ” , in reality everything they come up with are their subjective interpretations based on others subjective interpretations . Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis are not based on objective sciences .  When examined effectively by objective science followers,  using objective sciences, it easily becomes apparent that everything they present is simply guessing and a cobbled  together hypothesis with no real supporting scientific proof . When the objective scientific intelligensia push them hard on these matters, they admit and submit … they just don’t know for sure anything that they present is fact .

    Dawkins and Cronin have been taught since childhood and  throughout their educational experiences by teachers and other PHD. profs . Who were they ? They are also speculative thinkers who have themselves dishonesty presented guessing  as facts  to millions of school children and students .   Darwinians become neo Darwinians , but it’s the same , just regurgitated and dressed up differently . In reality, we have a  chain of dishonesty , and each generation of so-called teachers are the link in the chain . Walk into the natural history museum in London. What’s the first thing endless school  children see on pre-arranged school tours ?  Apes turning into men . Indoctrination from childhood , pictures in early history books of apes turning into men are widely distributed. The  Miller Urey experiments are highly regarded and promoted as progressive biological research and indications of our origines in a primordial sludge . The natural history museums architectural structure suspiciously looks like a church in its construction . Cheating on all levels, even psychological levels.

    Scientific dualism means  consciousness  and mind , along with matter, are completely different energies, and this is  a  self-evident truth . Thus an old person is the same person they were when young  , the body is changing around the consciousness  , the mind and intelligence also changes,  the subtle ethereal energies are covering the pure consciousness  , however by the pure consciousness,  the ethereal energies are detected .. Only those deliberately keeping themselves in the darkness of subjective speculations miss the obvious , they have accepted false gurus  . Of course , Darkins has to try to explain the blatantly obvious about perfect math , symmetry, and obvious design that is all pervasive.  So he tells his students to “Ignore what appears as design in the world,  close your eyes and intelligence to it , or else you can’t be a true scientist.”
    Consciousness in objective terms is experienced as a phenomenon different from matter , and thus, it needs examining. We are the same person in our changing body and fluctuating mind along with a  fallible and somewhat fading intelligence , especially in old age .
    Thus , every theological culture , using teleological arguments , presents the natural conclusion that any origin of consciousness , namely God , would have the responsibility to cater for both free will and along side it , bring forth , via the responsive universe  various deterministic outcomes . Divine algorithmic processes,  one might say . Divinity is hidden but not hidden.

    Both the atheistic and theistic need satisfying . Educational experiences for every  wondering particle of consciousness , who find themselves enclosed in matter ,  and having to deal with all the consequences that brings  , need catering for . If Divinity did not do so , free will and determinism could not function . The material world is made as such that truth can be presented as untruths, and  untruths  can be accepted as  truth . A clever arrangement on all levels is occurring with multidimensional degrees of  mixes of freedoms,  entanglements, and liberation . Everyone can satisfy themselves somehow , the karmic show must go on . However , everyone’s underlying consciousness remains , and unless absolute truth is arrived at , one will remain unfulfilled and somewhat bewildered.
    In  scientific realities , there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever molecules themselves move towards life . In fact , the chemistry behind molecules are so inconceivably complicated in their own right ,  one can ask a synthetic chemist how chemical evolution could have taken place by chance arrangement within a primordial soup  because they are aware how difficult it is to get chemicals to perfectly bind and remain stable .  When a consciousness particle is  injected from the male within the female , information systems accompany it . The origins of this information are a complete mystery to Dawkins and Cronin. First, consciousness comes , and only then does  informational systems that organise and structure matter follow, life comes from life . The beginnings of this information are described in the Vedas , the cyclic universe means information and the species , that vary through time periods  , have a history we can call time immemorial , untraceable history. The material universes are eternal but cyclic . The complete and incomprehensible engineering within each body and species carries similar engineering techniques . Same engineer different engineering .  The more we look into the microbial world, the more we see even more sophisticated engineering .The dna codes are adjustable , as information on a computer code is .111000110011110001 .in millions of sequences carry information and images . Dna ..

    Mathematical Possibilities by Length

    • 1 base pair: 4¹ = 4 sequences
    • 3 base pairs (like a codon): 4³ = 64 sequences
    • 10 base pairs: 4¹⁰ = 1,048,576 sequences
    • 6 billion base pairs (a human genome): \(4^{6,000,000,000}\) combinations—a number so vast it has roughly 3.6 billion zeros, vastly outnumbering all atoms in the known universe


    Those advocates who sing the glory of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis only continue to fool themselves and try to take their brand to the truely unthinking . Best to study objective sciences oneself and bypass subjective guessing that claims to be objective science..

    How to know who is who in scientifically orientated religious circles..?

    Prof Albert Einstein said that religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.

    If we find violence and hatred and fanaticism …this means the theologians and their religious representatives are unscientific and are clueless and not representing God , quite the opposite.
    Actually, the truth is that theological cultures of every kind have the systematic processes of gradual development of knowledge , everyone takes things at a  different pace , according to their previous attachments and impressions . In all religions, there are first  class, second class, and third class followers.
    If anything is presented fanatically with hatred and intolerance, it’s because it’s being presented by third class unthinking followers…who have little realisation of God .
    One should seek first-class followers who understand God consciousness and the sciences behind not only creation but also psychological conditioning due to attachments to the material world, which bring the varied plights of the conditioned souls . The mature spiritual teacher can give a particular  path  suitable for a particular state of consciousness,  and thus gradually free them from their lower speculative and karmic tendencies.
    Practical applications within theological cultures are well understood by the first  class representatives . Heaven and Hell preaching is a sign of a third class devotee.
    In any religion, first class representatives should be sought , and every scripture will tell us clearly their symptoms .common sense is required .

  • What standards ? ..or should it be fighting fire with fire ..

    Aug 21st, 2026

    Would a UK political party accept a donation from a company who have been found to harm the environment or exploit foreign countries including their citizens in various ways . …..answer Legally, yes, UK political parties can accept donations from such a company if it is registered, incorporated, and actively doing business in the UK. The law does not ban donations based on environmental or ethical records, but individual parties apply their own voluntary policies.Legal RulesPermissible Sources: Under the Electoral Commission guidelines, a company is a legal donor if it is registered with Companies House and carries on business in the UK, regardless of its global track record.No Ethical Vetting: Electoral law checks only for transparency and legal presence in the UK, not for moral, environmental, or human rights compliance.Party PoliciesMainstream Parties: The Conservative, Labour, and Liberal Democrat parties generally accept corporate donations as long as they pass legal permissibility checks, though they face public and media scrutiny over the source.Specific Restrictions: Some parties enforce strict internal ethical rules. For example, the Green Party explicitly bans donations from industries linked to fossil fuels, intensive farming, and arms……
    The question is, what about religious organisations? Should they ?

    If we preach Varna Ashram in its strict terms under Vedic ethics, morality, and sensitivity, including condemning encroachments, how are we to accept funding from those who have no standard.  Arms dealers,  mineral wealth companies who are found to exploit children using child labour who are exposed to dangerous chemicals. Do we take their money ? Financial trading companies,  insider dealings , gambling stock markets , fixed commodity markets causing poverty and debt to poor nations , companies indirectly involved in wars arming rebels so Western conglomerates can exploit a countries resources,  the list goes on .It was said the Catholic Church had investments in companies producing contraceptives. In a world dominated  increasingly by global conglomerates and financial institutions who have a strangle hold on financial dealings with “light touch ” oversight, along with monopoly dominance and the disappearance of free markets and fair trade , these are important considerations for  religious communities.

    Apply the adage fire with fire ,some will say … i.e. we will use their money to preach about how Sattvic Varna Ashram should  be conducted?

  • Give us our daily bread ..

    Aug 20th, 2026

    The clear moral and ethical principles of economic development within all societies have been set out in the Vedas along with progressive lives , including education , a learning of all kinds, which brings social and spiritual mobility for everyone
    The following is the overview..

    Dharma (Righteousness and Duty): Living an ethical life, doing your moral duty, and acting with truth and goodness to support society….this leads to..
    Artha (Wealth and Success): Gaining material security, money, and resources through honest work to support yourself and others….this leads to ..
    Kama (Pleasure and Love): Enjoying life, art, relationships, and emotional satisfaction within moral boundaries….this eventually leads to …
    Moksha (Liberation): Achieving the final freedom of the soul from the cycle of birth and rebirth through self-realization
    How one should lead to another are all the arrangements of Divinity.
    The problems we have in the modern world is , cheating economics its not based on Goodness , ethics, and moralistic standards. Rather, exploitation, corruption, and encroachments on others and their lands .
    The demons say, “Why pray to God for daily bread , we can give it to you , forget God , forget being pious ….just grab what you can in any way you can ….” But look at their world ….the cheaters and the cheated , ruthless businessman who are kings of the world…..it cannot last , unsustainable economics for fools , who care nothing for future generations.

    AC Bhaktivedanta Swami..

    “In the Communist country the propaganda was that these Communists would go to villages, ask the villagers to come to the church and pray to God, “Give us our daily bread,” and they would ask, “Whether you have got bread?” Of course, in the church where is the bread? They will say, “No, we haven’t got bread.” “All right, you ask us.” And they ask the Communist leader, “Give us our daily bread,” and they give sumptuously. “Why should you go to church?”

    They preached godlessness in this way, that “You are not getting bread from the church; you are getting bread from us. Why not worship Lenin and his followers? He gave sufficient bread.” In this way they tried to make people godless, that “Don’t go to church.” Still their propaganda.”

    Today, we have atheistic capitalists and societies that follow scientific materialism as well as the Darwinian hypothesis . Societies are caught up in the world of controlled markets,  monopolies, and global conglomerates , who are  calling the shots .There are no free market economics,  just cheating after cheating and stealing from others lands . Real sustainability comes from only  ethical Dharma. That’s the Vedic way.

  • Material and spiritual psychology.

    Aug 20th, 2026

    In the Srimad Bhagavatam 1 2.19 and 1.2 20 the psychological conditionings are described as well as freedom from them , and the establishment of Suddha sattva , a pure consciousness state that in communion with God though devotion acts with the mind , intelligence , and purified senses ,  is brought out within these texts . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has written commentary on them .

    Text 19 (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.19)

    tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ
    kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye
    ceta etair anāviddhaṁ
    sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati [1]

    Translation:

    “As soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature’s modes of passion and ignorance—such as lust, desire and hankering—disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes completely happy.” [1, 2]

    Text 20 (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.20)

    evam prasanna-manaso
    bhagavad-bhakti-yogatah
    bhagavat-tattva-vijnanam
    mukta-sangasya jayate [1]

    Translation:

    According to Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.20, one who is established in goodness through devotional service attains scientific knowledge of the Supreme Lord and freedom from material attachment,

    My thoughts.

    Spiritual life does not mean zero ..

    There must be activities,  one cannot artificially stop the mind and senses,  but rather find out the way to link them with the activities of the Supreme Brahman , He is known by many names and by His many activities . Activities can cause increasing trancendental bliss or, in material consciousness, they can helplessly bind the actor.  Thus, it behoves us all to learn how to act , and everyone should learn and turn to Divinity and say ” How can I please you ” His pure representatives can help guide.

  • Everyone has to accept someone

    Aug 20th, 2026

    In Vedic cultures, we say everyone has to and is accepting an authority of some kind , no-one is absent of authority..The question arising is who is your authority and why , and importantly who are their authority .These far-reaching authority structures permeate the whole of societal affairs . The head of the authorities must be properly situated , and Bhagavad Gita sets out clearly their specific behaviour and qualities. Krishna knows the art of spiritual and socio-political sciences, and He Himself works through His agencies as well as clearly defining how everything works. Everything for mankind has been spoken of , there is nothing absent , accept for the willingness to hear ….

    AC Bhavtivedanta Swami in conversation….

    Prabhupāda: “…so we have got our authority.” I have got my authority, Bhāgavatam, Vedic literature. Why shall I give you better preference, your authority? I have got my authority.”

    Svarūpa Dāmodara:” So we’ll explain that there are two types of acquiring knowledge. Two different techniques. Now the scientists are believing their own…”

    Prabhupāda:” That is imperfect. Inductive knowledge is always imperfect. Deductive knowledge is perfect if it is taken from authority. Suppose man is mortal. So, the inductive process is that you examine every man, whether he’s mortal or immortal. So suppose you have seen millions of men, and they are all mortal. They die. Then your conclusion is that man is mortal. But I can say you have not seen a man who does not die. I can say that. So, this inductive knowledge will remain always imperfect. It will never be perfect because your examination is limited. So I can say you have not seen the person, man… Suppose if I say, “You have not seen Vyāsadeva, he’s immortal. You have not seen Aśvatthāmā. He’s immortal.” So how can this scientific research be perfect, inductive? It is never perfect. Because you may be missing somebody who is immortal; then your conclusion is wrong. There is no scope to study all the living beings. There is no such scope. You have limited scope. So your seeing power is limited. How can you decide from the limited seeing power?. Suppose man is mortal. So, the inductive process is that you examine every man, whether he’s mortal or immortal. So suppose you have seen millions of men, and they are all mortal. They die. Then your conclusion is that man is mortal. But I can say you have not seen a man who does not die. I can say that. So, this inductive knowledge will remain always imperfect. It will never be perfect because your examination is limited. So I can say you have not seen the person, man… Suppose if I say, “You have not seen Vyāsadeva, he’s immortal. You have not seen Aśvatthāmā. He’s immortal.” So how can this scientific research be perfect, inductive? It is never perfect. Because you may be missing somebody who is immortal; then your conclusion is wrong. There is no scope to study all the living beings. There is no such scope. You have limited scope. So your seeing power is limited. How can you decide from the limited seeing power?”

    End ..

    No one has monopolies on spiritual life , but one thing is your devotion and devotional activities must please your spiritual teacher or spiritual master , and your spiritual master has to be in a chain of spiritual teachers or masters. Spiritual life has both formalities and eventually when purity comes about , spontaneous love, but nothing independent.

    ŚB 1.2.17

    śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ
    puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ
    hṛdy antaḥ stho hy abhadrāṇi
    vidhunoti suhṛt satām

    Translation

    Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramātmā [Supersoul] in everyone’s heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee, cleanses desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the urge to hear His messages, which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted

  • Clap your hands for freedom ..

    Aug 19th, 2026

    A lame man can move mountains. A dumb man can compose eloquent poetry… don’t limit yourself ,  but equally be content in devotional services,  whatever they may be .

    The implications of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta pointing out the calculations of astrology by not properly understanding the scheduled movements of planets .

    “Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura’s pointed out the flaws in astrological calculations, particularly regarding the failure to properly account for the precession of the equinoxes (the moving zodiac/ayanamsa) versus the fixed stars (sidereal), has several significant implications. His, and later A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s, critiques were aimed at shifting the focus from material fatalism to absolute dependence on spiritual, transcendental activity. 

    Here are the key implications of his stance:

    • Correction of “Fixed” vs. “Moving” Planets (Ayanamsa): Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati highlighted that conventional astrology often ignored the shift between the tropical (ayan) and sidereal (nirayan) zodiacs. By insisting on precise, mathematically sound calculations (as in the Surya-siddhanta), he underscored that neglecting the precession of the equinoxes (the moving planets/constellations) makes astronomical calculations outdated and inaccurate.
    • Marginalization of Fate and Materialism: The fundamental implication is that relying on astrological charts, which are based on “material karma,” is a sign of immature understanding. He emphasized that a devotee is not bound by mundane stellar influences. Astrology, at best, applies to the material body, but the soul is free.
    • Emphasis on “Transcending” Rather than “Managing” Karma: Instead of using astrology to calculate the best time for material actions (a key focus in the materialist world), Bhaktisiddhanta taught that one should transcend planetary influence altogether through surrender to God (Krishna).
    • The Inadequacy of “Blind” Astrology: By highlighting these calculation errors, he pointed out that many practitioners of astrology are incompetent, leading people to “bogus” conclusions.
    • Superiority of Spiritual Action: The ultimate implication is that the Sankirtan movement (congregational chanting) is the only truly effective “remedy” in the Kali-yuga, as it directly acts on the soul and alters destiny, rendering even “accurate” astrological predictions unnecessary. “
    • Many devotees  are overly concerned and place a great emphasis on their astrological situations  as something very important to take account of . Some of them overly concern themselves and make it their astrological business to try to avoid suffering and look forward to happy astrological happiness and their influences  . It is not a real concern for serious devotees who cultivate trancendental consciousness and serve the pure Vaisnavas , for them trancendental consciousness predominants . The Smarta Brahminical classes always overly rely on  misinterpreted tools and misinterpreted sastra in order to reassure themselves , and they rely on karma rather than trancendance .  If they approach trancendance,  they ask for material benefits , so not so smart . They do not have sufficient faith or an understanding of what devotional activities are really offering .   Individuals within the confines of matter and a set of karmic synchronicities are meant to climb out of karma by devotion . A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said, “Clap your hands before the Deities everything changes “
    • Prarabdha and Aprarabdha karmic destinations both change . The smarta thinker can not understand these types of devotional sciences

  • Precious and pressured traditional cultures

    Aug 19th, 2026

    The modern Western economies, global conglomerates and monopolised societies led by libertine culture, means , if you want to partake in shared economies , you have to surrender your traditional family based theological cultures, you have to introduce libertine cultures or you are sanctioned, or you are fought against. This is the modern Western world. Scientific dualism is nowhere to be seen, rather scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis rules the roost ..and the Sattvic intelligentsia are silenced. One world, one life ,one death , every becomes dust and atoms , the dust snd atom reincarnation model …atheistic.

    Modern Western economies and global systems heavily promote secular, materialist, and individualist frameworks. These dominant structures often clash with traditional theological, family-centered, or non-materialist worldviews, creating systemic pressures that marginalize alternative philosophical models. Core Philosophical Conflict .. Scientific materialism and physicalist models dominate mainstream academic and economic institutions. Market dynamics favour mobile, autonomous consumers over communal, multi-generational family structures. Public policy and corporate cultures largely operate on secular assumptions, sidelining sacred or metaphysical principles. Systemic Pressures. Global markets reward standard legal, financial, and behavioural  norms that align with corporate mobility. Media and consumer culture spread secular values worldwide, often displacing local or religious traditions.  Philosophical views rooted in cyclical rebirth or spiritual dualism receive little institutional support.

  • Trancendental inexplicable oneness and difference tattva ..

    Aug 19th, 2026

    I shall gather some evidence re the inexplicable and trancendental oneness and difference between Srimati Radharani and Satyabhama in Dwarka
    This is Prabhupada teachings of Lord Caitanya quote below..and I have the book ” Mathura meets Vrndavana”  by Srila Gour Govinda Swami, I will refresh myself of his teachings of prema vivarta ..trancendental union in separation…

    My feeling is

    Radharani knew Krishna could not exist without Her and vice verser …so in Dwarka Radharani expansion as Satyabhama arrives to satisfy somewhat Their separation from each other ..
    So these arrangements came about , a  trancendental lila ..
    ..the simultaneously and inconceivably oness and difference tattva, I think we will see permeate this tattva…the tatva of Prema vivarta is present in this lila , simultaneous union and separation . The dream of Krishna leaving Vrndavana is also to be considered.  Krishna’s dreams become a reality,  but its understood Krishna never leaves Vrndavana. It’s also a fact that dreams appear to go on for a long time , but are factually seconds in time . When Krishna steps out of Vrndavana in His ” dream ” to reorganise the earth and reestablish religious principles,  Vrndavana remains in eternal time . Hundreds of years are a flicking moment within the eternal spiritual world. So what time period was Srimati Radharani waiting for Krishna ?  and as Satyabhama was she waiting,   it appears  she experienced elements of prema Vivarta,  direct union and separation from Krishna. The mysterious writing and plays of Rupa Goswami are looking to teach us trancendental tattva..

    An over emphasis on the oness or the difference would be incorrect tattva when it comes to Radharani and Satyabhama.

    Srila Prabhupada

    “In Govinda-līlāmṛta there is a verse that states: “Who is the breeding ground for Kṛṣṇa’s affection? The answer is that it is only Śrīmatī Rādhikā. Who is Kṛṣṇa’s most lovable object? The answer is that it is only Śrīmatī Rādhikā and no one else.” Sheen in the hair, moisture in the eyes and firmness in the breasts are all qualities present in Śrīmatī Rādhikā. Only Śrīmatī Rādhikā is able to fulfil all the desires of Kṛṣṇa. No one else can do so.

    Satyabhāmā is another competitor of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, but she always desires to come to the standard of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Rādhārāṇī is so expert in all affairs that all the damsels of Vraja come to learn arts from Her. She is so extraordinarily beautiful that even the goddess of fortune and Pārvatī, the wife of Lord Śiva, desire elevation to Her standard of beauty. Arundhatī, who is known as the most chaste lady in the universe, desires to learn the standard of chastity from Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Since even Lord Kṛṣṇa can not estimate Rādhārāṇī’s highly transcendental qualities, it is not possible for an ordinary man to estimate them.”

    Thus, Krishna sits on His rooftop house in Dwarka thinking about the residents of Vraj and Radharani and the gopies with tears flowing down his cheeks and calls for Uddhava to deliver His messages of love .

    And at Kurukshetra Srimati Radharani says , That very personality who stole away my heart during my youth is now again my master. These are the same moonlit nights of the month of Caitra. The same fragrance of malati flowers is there, and the same sweet breezes are blowing from the kadamba  forest. I am also the same lover, yet still my mind is not happy here. I am eager to go back to that place on the bank of the Reva under the Vetasi tree. That is my desire.”

    More on this later ..

  • Reality or virtual reality?

    Aug 18th, 2026

    This is a “virtual world ” that we find ourselves in , it is accompanied by sound waves , lightwaves ,  nerve impulses , and everything reactionary via electrical impules , signals that travel to the neurons within our brains so our entrapped consciousness sitting in the machine of the body makes sense of the world and is convinced its a reality. This is engineering out of this world,  yet brought to the world,  curiously the original designer is sitting in each machine , and plugging the conscious experience into it . Each of the electrical signals travels at colossal speed and hooked up to our minds and intelligence , the ethereal subtle machines .We are situated within a subtle machine that is situated within the gross one made of atoms , elements, and compounds. According to the Vedas , our partial minds and intelligences have been carried forward from a previous virtual reality machine we once inhabited. At the time of rebirth, the influences of the previous mind and intelligence are reprogrammed and mixed with two new parents and their subtle influences. The gross  machinery of the body is  discarded at death , but the partial subtle energies live on in  percentages and this is why we have deep impressions of life from early age and particular attractions in so many ways , even old friends or lover can unite again . This is the reality of living in the material world , but 99.9 % of the populations are in total ignorance of lifes reality , they are taught scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , so they are dead to truth . We all know that at any time, all of our experiences and exchanges of information will cease , and that’s what is referenced as death, yet we do little about it .

    Yantra is a word used by Lord Krishna in his Bhagavat Gita , it means  the machine of the material body , and it is granted by material nature .  Just as we are in complete forgetfulness of what our  current machine was experiencing a few weeks ago , can you say what you did and thought of in detail .? ..No .. So , similarly, death means forgetfulness , but of everything . Although the deep impressions and deep-seated desires and traits of previous experiences stay within , as our  new body arrives . Again, the subtle energies fire up, but this time in a brand new machine .  Many persons experience in their new bodies and lives , a particular affiliation for a time period ,  or an attraction to particular music , geographical places , time periods , or even special attractions for individual people , this is some objective truths , the Darwinians cannot account for such feelings .

    The body carries with it our individual karmic synchronicities , and the previous responses that are due to us from the responsive universe are to be lived out in our new virtual reality machine .

    The Bhagavad Gita gives the full details and the reasons for all these comings and goings. As well , the Bhagavad Gita also explains how an absolute reality can be experienced outside the virtual one .Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all in his Bhagavad Gita as it is.

  • Arts , a shadow of  its former self

    Aug 18th, 2026

    The original intention of the arts of all kinds , and the best purposes of its messaging or imagery are realised when a particular exhibition induces people to think or feel differently about a particular subject ,  or in much deeper terms , deep philosophically based musings can occure reflecting on the many mysterious life happenings that surround us , both locally or universally. The greatest of the artist messaging  will always be worthy to hear or see or contemplate . Human beings need to be encouraged to think carefully and deeply, and with sensitivities for all brings , artisans help in this mindset .The Vedas have particular portions dedicated to the arts and their crucial messaging. Good art is also based on dualism and the in-depth searches for answers. Good art also reflects the beauty and mysterious workings of our universe and will always point to a reasoning behind everything.

    In these days of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , indicating one life one death , the arts and the artists have sadly declined in quality and have become a shadow of their former selves . There are no mass protests even if mass killings take place , not like the 1960s. Artists have become shallow and accepting and are embedded into a perverse system.
    We see even politically, the artists of today are in a sorry state , they are commercially driven and careful not to upset the apple cart .
    Unlike, for instance, John Lennon among others in the mid-60s .

    Here is Ai take ..

    Art is a vast field of human creativity expressing ideas, emotions, and skills through various mediums like painting, sculpture, music, literature, or performance, aiming to evoke experiences, beauty, or thought, stemming from Latin roots meaning “skill” or “craft”.

    Vedic arts are of many kinds , everyone of them delve into the consciousness journey and the wonders of universal affairs, which reflects the greater consciousness of Divinity along with His peace and justice..

    More on this soon .
