In the summary of the Bramha sutra , which are the encoded four Vedas , along with the fifth Veda , consisting of the Itihasas , the Puranas and the Mahabharata, in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which  its  natural commentary ,  curiously,  glow worms are mentioned.

In the 10th Canto of that great Srimad Bhagavatam, ” in the Autumn season chapter,” It is said”  that the rain clouds gather at twilight and the starlight is hampered by the darkening of the atmosphere.”

At that time, glow worms thrive, providing a glimps of light that the moths may mistake for something substantial , and they are fooled .

Similarly,  in the darkness of Kali yuga , the current age , the moon, and the starlight of the Vedas are covered by the darkness of cheating and hypocrisy, fake interpretations  and speculations develop and a misunderstandings of the original Vedas develop that do not follow the truthful speaking of the great great saints.  Demons , fools, and materially motivated persons take shelter of the glow worms of many  false doctrines or philosophically flawed  speculations and interpretation of all kinds . Aggressive self-centred politics of hatred and violence develop.  Subjective speculations in all kinds of sciences are  presented as fact based sciences to children, and educational institutions are infiltrated.

Thus, scientific materialism,  Darwinian hypothesis,  impersonal philosophy tainted with voidism , and infiltrated democracies are thriving currently,  they all claim to give light .However,  a glow worm can never be compared to the moon , and moth like rascals flock around this artificial light of the modern man , who shed light like the  glow worms and attempt to cover the light of the full moon of knowledge by their cloudlike speculations and deliberate cheating . The glow worm fizzles out ultimately, and the artificial light it produces attracts only those who want to be cheated . The real light of the full moon of  knowledge and its inherant wisdom contained in the vedas can be properly and only understood when the glowworm is understood for what it is . Then, the darkness of the illusory energies subside .

By God’s grace , He can remove His illusory energies  influence that make a worm in stool think he is happy.

Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is very expert in explaining the whole process of seeing the light of the Bhagavat and the Srimad Bhagavatam.

Risking risking risking

In matters of love sometimes, even in this world, people risk everything . Although in this world, love is somewhat tainted with self-interest. Generally, we see the  illusion of love , as  lust to be an enjoyer , or profit maker or a sole beneficiary activities  self-centred calculations to one degree or another . Such is the state that’s  always present in the heart of a person conditioned by the material energies.  Who is acting  without any self-interest in this world?  Different degrees of love mixed with lust and self interests are exhibited in this world. The love between the mother and the child is very pure, relatively speaking, for instance , an unmotivated sacrifice for the happiness of the child is the mother’s position .
Nevertheless, in the purest of a spiritual sense, Srila BR Sridhar Swami gives the example of the purest of pure love , and he cleverly termed it ” All risk no gain.” In the material world, we hear of no risk, no gain .But all risk no gain ?
The residents of Vrndavana who are described by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and who are eternally participating in Krishna lila , those who are in the topmost realms of spiritual love , that is ever expanding and feels ever new , that are centred around the love of Srimati Radharani exibits toward Krishna,  assisted by  all of her close associates , demonstrate the highest of the highest principles of spiritual ecstatic love . They risked everything for love .  When Krishna “left them” and supposedly Vrndavana , their hometown ,  they thought everything of their invested  love was lost. still, they never gave up on their unalloyed love, and their feelings for Krishna were increasing more and more . Even though He had appeared externally to reject or disappoint them .Their motivations were only ever to satisfy and to remain satisfying  the emaculate senses of Krishna . In doing so, they had risked everything and remained hankering and risking everything of their reputations  for Krishna, thinking of Him twenty four hours daily , in their  unwavering sacrifice they were prepared in love to gain nothing . In their extreme separation from the object of their love , their hearts were and remained the supreme abode of  pure love . It seemed they had risked and risked but that everything in the relationship was finished and they had lost everything . In their supreme separation, however, there  was still  the hope against hope , this kept them alive and enthusiastic in love .
Thus in our spiritual life Srila BR Sridhar Swami says , we are risking risking risking but we do not feel we have gained our goal , and never feel we have done enough in our services to Divinity or that we have truely gotten Krishna.
Such is the path of pure spiritual love .The humble hearts of the residents of Vrndavana whose inner state of mind is revealed by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.
On the rooftops of Mathura having left Vrndavana,  Krishna Himself wept tears of love, and indeed, His separation was even more difficult to bear for Him , He felt a pain that his lovers were in pain .  Remembering the pure love of Srimati Radharani and Her friends  Krishna  thought He could never pay back such the sacrifice of their  hearts . The spiritual truth of pure unmotivated love between God and His devotees is delineated in the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam and greatly elaborated upon by Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has come to reveal this mystery of all risk, no gain , and union in separation and separation in union 

Smriti and Sruti.

In the teachings of Gaudia Vaisnavas, the Smriti must follow the Sruti , otherwise, it is not Smriti.
The supposed Smriti of the smarta Brahminical classes or the Smriti of the impersonal philosophers is not to be classed as Smriti .The Smriti per se are paths that lead genuinely to the spiritual world. They are directly windows to the spiritual worlds .The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas follow Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s Smriti as well as Srila Jiva Goswami and Srila Sanantana Goswami plus all the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas in param para from them .

So many persons seek to be proof readers amongst men , or women, for that matter , in the trancendental affairs of Gaudia Vaisnavism or the proper execution of its messaging to the world at large . Before one steps in , after all fools rush in where angels dare to tread,  one should make sure of two things .

That one has properly and thoroughly proofread his or herself using all of the appropriate tools and methods  that have been recommended by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas originating from Srila Rupa Goswami and Ragganatha das Goswami along with their contemporaries.

And that one’s proofreading is  aligned perfectly with one of the greatest proof readers of men in modern times , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj, whose extensive writing and analysing powers are based on the correct assessments of what it means to practically act , speak and conduct affairs of trancendance within the material world but remain situated spirituality.

“Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakura (1874–1936) was a pioneering Gaudiya Vaishnava spiritual leader who famously declared himself a “proofreader of men” and a “proofreader of religions”. This title highlights his commitment to scrutinizing the actions, intentions, and philosophical creeds of people to identify and correct spiritual faults and “antagonism toward Sri Krsna’s supreme overlordship”.

The “Proofreader of Men” Metaphor

• Beyond the Press: While trained by his father, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, in literal editing and printing—gaining a reputation as an expert scholar—he applied this discipline metaphorically to human character.
• Correcting Misconceptions: He aimed to “dissect [people’s] faults and try to correct them,” acting as a spiritual guide who removes misconceptions that impede spiritual progress.
• Non-Compromising Teacher: As a “Lion Guru,” he was known for his uncompromising, direct preaching against imitationist, so-called devotional practices, or “pseudo-devotion,” acting like a crab (astrological karkata) to “pierce” these misconceptions.
• Author over Book: He once said, “I don’t read the book, I read the author. I first check whether the author is authentic,” emphasizing the purity of the person behind the teachings.”

The Vedas is all encompasing and designed by the Lord for both social and spiritual mobility. One is not supposed to get stuck on the ladder or suppose other runs of the ladders and not important . Many persons who have followed the Vedas can get stuck due to the results of living according to duties , natural it is that good follows good , but in absolute terms sometimes good is bad and bad is good , one who has completed his or her studies of the Vedas will understand.

The Srimad Bhagavatam 4.29.48 says this …

Those who are less intelligent accept the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies as all in all. They do not know that the purpose of the Vedas is to understand one’s own home, where the Supreme Personality of Godhead lives. Not being interested in their real home, they are illusioned and search after other homes.

Some followers who are teachers of the Vedas do a partial job of explaining its real benefits,  the Srimad Bhagavatam itself encourages that one should hear the Bhagavatam from someone who has understood the conclusions of the text . The Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on the Bramha sutra and is the condensed form of the four Veda. The six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who were highly learned scholars and taught personally by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are bringing ever expanded meanings to the Srimad Bhagavatam which is the cream of the Vedas , so the Srmiti of the Goswami’s are like the cream of the cream .

For generations, the West had sought to shape the Middle East and the world  its way . Just recently, its ambitious reshaping has had a kick back , and not only in the Middle East , but within Europe and the big China showdown hasn’t happened yet .The unipolar world is no longer , and that’s for sure , either financially or otherwise.
There are other people living on the planet, after all, and with different cultures, different traditions, political systems,  and different theological outlooks , they should be respected and  understood and worked with rather than against.
This is all quite natural in a world of diversity. The globalists’ vision of artificial unity based on exploitation and false equalities is fundermentally flawed , and that’s not the  worlds  reality . Even locally speaking, society and people’s thinking and outlooks differ .The Globalists are planning to infiltrate cultures and historic traditions by utilising Ai to reshape generational thinking and put to sleep multicultural history and replace it with their fake  truths , this is their long-term brain wash plan .

In the spiritual kingdoms which are approximately two thirds greater in size that the millions of material universes there are no conflicts or wars , but although there are  conflicts that cause pure trancendental bliss . When you understand how that can be , you have truly understood  consciousness and its full potential and purposes ..

The Krishna lila Kaliya serpent pastimes show how ignorance and its tendencies can reside even in places that are thought to be Divine . The river Jamuna is certainly such a divine  place, but Kaliya, the serpent, lived near its banks .
The poisons emanating from him were  so strong that the whole atmosphere became enveloped.
The birds became affected just by flying above Kaliya’s lagoon , as all the surrounding areas became toxic .
Eventually, Krishna resolved the issues being caused by Kaliya , and the wives of Kaliya also  helped bring the serpent to his senses, as many good wives can offer good advice to their husbands .
In the scientific , political, or social sphere’s it just takes one or two persons to mislead and they can create misunderstanding and a poisonous atmosphere in religious , philisophical , political, or social structure develops and increase the  toxicity for all .
The Vedas define truths and what are correct calculations and warns  against Kaliya like serpants who seek to do harm and pose themselves as leaders or as an influencer . Ultimetely good always  prevails , Krishna’s desire is always to give societies the best of good council, and that always eventually comes to pass , via his  representatives.

Seek and you will find ….

An intelligentsia would see to ..

The rights of every existence of every culture, including the Palestinians and the Rabbi, lead theological cultures of Judaism..
The intelligentsia point out perversions of political and theological misunderstandings and where they lead .
The combined intelligentsia of every culture can clearly see ….the people should understand who they are and insist on their input .
Mainstream media won’t guide .and selective scrolling may or may not find them , seek and you shall find …

Bhagavad Gita 16.2 .

The Blessed Lord said: Fearlessness, purification of one’s existence, cultivation of spiritual knowledge, charity, self-control, performance of sacrifice, study of the Vedas, austerity and simplicity; nonviolence, truthfulness, freedom from anger; renunciation, tranquility, aversion to faultfinding, compassion and freedom from covetousness; gentleness, modesty and steady determination; vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, freedom from envy and the passion for honor-these transcendental qualities, O son of Bharata, belong to godly men endowed with divine nature.

If one cannot realise the self evident truth of the equality of all beings there must be deep seated envy in the heart and to the depth and degree it can be removed one is awakening and developing love , a love which is perfected in fullness when one can connect everyone’s relationships to everyone’s origin , everyone has the same origin, who actually brings this elevated state of consciousness unity, when the origin is truely known everything is known and bias , hatred and discrimination is removed as well as separatist mentalities.
This consciousness is real God consciousness, anything other is a fraudulent sham.

Bg. 18.54

ब्रह्मभूत: प्रसन्नात्मा न शोचति न काङ्क्षति ।
सम: सर्वेषु भूतेषु मद्भ‍‍क्तिं लभते पराम् ॥ ५४ ॥

brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā
na śocati na kāṅkṣati
samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu
mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām

Translation

One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments or desires to have anything. He is equally disposed toward every living entity. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto Me.

Consciousness means individuality,  individuality means feelings , someone’s individual feelings . Knowing God and the Supreme Goddess of fortune means to know They have feelings , and to be concerned about making others happy means one is caring . Caring for everything that lives is the beginnings of spiritual life and caring for the feelings and happiness of Radha Krishna and Their family and friends,  the Vedas say , is the pinnacle of love and from which , if one is in possession of it , the whole world can be inundated. If we learn to love God automatically, everyone is loved .

What makes you happy ..

Western governments driven by global libertines calculate they know how to make people happy . What do they know about happiness? What are their calculations based on, and are they all inclusive,  or is it based on trickle-down happiness , centralised happiness , stemming from a philosophy of scientific materialism, and Darwinian theory of the survival of my happy state at the cost of others happy state .

The Vedic theological teaching brings us to the sciences of dualism . The senses and mind are attached to a deep-seated consciousness and its the consciousness that is inherently seeking happiness,  but like a fish out of water , the consciousness cannot be fulfilled by increasing and increasing material sense gratification.  The only offer from the Western atheistic liberalised scientific materialistic governments is to act like sophisticated animals and increase titillating the mind and senses in every way possible by exploitative and harmful ways to ourselves and the world and the people who surround us .

It’s like flogging a dead horse

The material world has been critiqued in the Vedas, its a surreal world , and as such its  said  by our acaryas life in the material world can be thought of as ” night time dream , day time dream”. One disciple of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami once said ….”but it seems so real if you say its like a dream ” Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami said “its just that the day time dream last longer ” . Like a dream is soon forgotten,  although some dreams remain with us for long periods,  we can hardly remember most details of our lives , we are practically dead to it . The Srimad Bhagavatam says the body , mind , and senses  propels the livings beings forward passionately in acts of  lust , anger , greed, and envy and madness. We remain in illusion about so many things and clouded from truths . A madman does not know his true postion in life and acts without any  sane calculations. As such, many conflicts occur in the material world that lead to ruthless aggressions against families,  communities , and other countries or cultures. Humans can easily act like like animals , with no rational feelings if they are  not properly directed by a real human with real human qualities , the intelligentsia with the greatest of characteristics and knowledge of the sciences of consciousness and psychological matters within the social sciences must be heard from . Such a  person has control over their senses and mind they are philosophically astute and clearly see and understand objective sciences . Ultimately, this material world gives very little displays of  Godliness most of the time , but there are , by the arrangements of Divinity always worthy persons to hear and take directions from . We must find out the qualities of such persons and look out for them  Most displays of Godliness or religion in the material world are also tinged with personal  attachments , many crooked politicians use religion in perverted ways , ways that currupt its real purposes. God , they think ,  becomes their order supplier, and often fools follow fools , and presume something is genuine when its a perversion or misinterpreted speculation. Pure exhibitions of spirituality, however, in reality, are without any expectations for anything other than pure  unmotivated and unalloyed love towards Divinity and all his parts and parcels. Such a person sees the self-evident truth of equality that a crooked person cannot.
Currently, our leaders are driving humanity and pushing them into further and further conflicts . They are totally clueless in regard to the true worth of humanity and its  intended purposes. The world is degrading fast right in front of our eyes .
Anyhow, history shows us that the material world has a very, very  long  history of all types of aggressive militant activities .Right now, things look like boiling over .
Srila Ragganatha das Goswami in his Manah Siksa advice is that the spiritual person renounce being exclusively concerned with these political or geopolitical types of concerns , but rather concentrate ones  time in understanding and developing our spiritual transcendental and spiritual form and cultivate our direct relationship with Krishna along with His various associates and family.  By practising serious meditations and deep remembrances , the fullness of absolute beauty and the highest of spiritual culture within the supreme artistry of ever new loving relationships will be experienced .
This is also the underlying advice of all of our  Vedic Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas . AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada would say , “First, save yourself..
But also try giving some time to assisting others benefit from the Vedas in some way . We can learn to become , on one level , oblivious to the activities of the foolishness of the ungodly and their uneducated leaders , but on another level, we must point out  the foolishness for everyone’s benefit.

What’s it worth ?

With crypto currency as literally didgits on a computer and stocks , shares ,currency commodities racing up and down in values , one begins to wonder what genuine wealth is .

Gold standards were replaced by pieces of paper, and things have gotten a lot more dodgy,  dodgy dealings, and promises of earnings and cooked books are in vouge . Traditionally, a person worked , and in exchange for work, they were owed something , and traditionally , as in former times, the King was the ultimate proprietor of all lands , and he represented God the supreme Proprietor .Still, during war times, the government has the right to take what it wants, any lands or property. It was the king who issued currency in previous times to represent work , thus, the monarch is often found on currency today . The nation state and its currency had the real value of currency backed by real work and production of various industries.

Today’s world of private issues , not nation backed , of strange gambling didgits on a computer representing money is indeed a strange turn of events as the cheaters get more technologically sophisticated and the cheated get more bamboozled.This is out of hand gambling manipulated like the trading and commodities markets by an elite .

The wealth in the stocks is an unrealistic assessment of a company,  its just based on false  promises and cooked books and  of what the company might do . How can they be trusted when the currupt regulates the curupt .The currency markets are a tool by which wealthy countries keep poor countries poor . After all, a man’s labour should be worth the same anywhere .The most greed wins the way and trample on third world countries.

The commodity markets are rigged by global conglomerates in an attempt to try to keep profits artificially high,  the biggest conglomerates gradually buying up the smallest and  creating monopolies.There is the fast disappearing so called “free market “

Thus the unipolar world has left a lot of problems in its trail .The new multipolar world world may ease the problems and share wealth in better ways , but the underlying problems are deeply embedded in financial institutions and deep state governance.

Only the genuine intelligentsia can sort it . The problems began a long time ago when the intelligentsia were pushed out of place , and unruly kings took their place , who were then later  replaced by democracies that have been now infiltrated by ruthless businessman and the political puppies. They who are clueless in the art of administration of society and ignorant of the sciences of mind , matter, and consciousness and how they knit together perfectly with the social structures. It’s a society of the cheaters and cheated.

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja gives the vision of how to replace cheating of all kinds with honesty, and Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami explains all in his literature.

When Srila Vyasadeva is in his deep and mature  meditation, saw Lord  Krishna behind Lord krishna he also saw Maya devi or Durga Devi, an expansion of the Supreme Goddess of fortune .

The expression I have got your back can be considered..

“I’ve got your back” (often heard as “I got your back”) is an idiom meaning “I support you,” “I’ll protect you,” or “I’ll watch out for you”; it signifies loyalty and reassurance that someone will be there to help, defend, or look out for you, acting like a second set of eyes or hands. 

Can Durga Devi be considered in this way ?

Everything about the supreme spiritual realm is personal , Lord Krishna is the most exhaulted of all personalities and to satisfy His emaculate senses with  pure attitudes of loving service in  very personal and in  innumerable ways is the only “business” of the residents of the spiritual abodes .

Srimati Radharani is the topmost devotee of Krishna and acts as the best servant , the best  friend  , and also with  somewhat motherly effection , and She ultimately is His best of all  lovers . Naturally, if you love someone deeply , part of that love is to see to it no disturbances in any way are brought before the person you love . Actually, injustices of any kind or uncouth behaviour will not be tolerated. Everyone should conduct themselves properly and with perfectly exhibited spontaneous loving moods before the Supreme Personality of Godhead . Durga Devi sees to it that the uncouth can not approach Krishna . She  also indirectly and directly instigates a training programme for the benefits of the living beings so everyone can learn trancendental selfless and pure love , and come to understand Krishna as the Supreme Rasaraja , who openly  desires to purely exchange His open heart with everyone in a most glorious way . Before entering  Vrndavana, the replica in India , you will pass huge open-air Deities of  Lord Siva and Durga Devi. Lord Siva has some connections with Maha Visnu in injecting the living beings within matter and Srimati Radharani in Her expansion as Durga weilds the rod of chastisement and corrects misguided attitudes.
