The Vedas have an extremely broad prospective on governance and compliance.

There are eighteenth puranas , six in the mode of goodness , six in the mode of passion , and six in the mode of goodness .

Extremism is always met by extremism , something both the Israeli government and the Palestinian people should know .

So, the Vedic government sees the needs of all classes of persons , giving all citizens a sense of freedom and responsibility with autonomy , and progressive paths are chalked out , according to individuals’ needs , wise men trained in understanding the psychological and physical needs of different classes of persons and who have no ulterior motives , or personal bank balance , give excellent counsel.

But where are such persons ?

Seek and you shall find …..if you’re sincere.

In the Srimad Bhagavatam 1.7.36 it is said .

A person who knows the principles of religion does not kill an enemy who is careless, intoxicated, insane, asleep, afraid, or devoid of his chariot. Nor does he kill a boy, a woman, a foolish creature, or a surrendered soul.

Queen Draupadi sets examples for all of us to follow .

When , having heard news, her sleeping sons were killed by Asvatarma , she, feeling deep grief , did not want the mother or family of Ashvatarma to feel the same grief by ordering Ashvatarmas death .

Revenge is not the business of any intelligent, thoughtful, and cultured persons….

The complexity of identifying the original historical inhabitants of lands is historically clear all over the world . Just who are the original inhabitants?

In the case of our latest conflict of interests , the same complexities are prevalent , with a long written history and history long forgotten .

It makes sense and would be best if both sides admit to historical discrepancies and encroachments as well as past misdeeds and settle up on permanent arrangements for a peaceful solution for the sake of the innocent persons who are suffering , and who depend on leaders to be just and fair .

Neither Israel,  USA .or Palestine authorities have a  vision or  any good   sense to move forward on these matters . Ancient encroachment histories need to be viewed in the context of historic time. Currently, irresponsible leaders who lack good academic counsel appear hell-bent on revenge.

Time to call for independent thoughtful and mature thinkers beyond the irresponsible political classes, to construct futures and lasting relationships between citizens minimising the influences of biased  self-motivated contributors who have  attachment to their versions of history and have hatred.

Two persons come to mind

JOHN MEARSHEIMER AND JONATHAN SACHS.

If I flip a coin it’s reasonably feasible that 50% of the time you will guess correctly. 

But supposing two of us are flipping coins simultaneously and our coins are somehow connected,  meaning when your coin lands on heads mine will land on tails …..a kind of instant communication….and further , if somehow I was situated at the distant part of our universe and the same connection was operating , this instant communication would be puzzling. 

Actually Einstein called this instant communication within quantum physics as ” spooky action at a distance “.

But what do the Vedas say ?

Certainly the energy and the energetic are one and the same , so anything the energetic transforms in terms of energies will be known by the energetic no matter where that takes place .

The huge machine of the universe along with the conscious particles within it , are working in responsive ways , cooperative systems are in place  , as much as a nuclear engineer is fully aware of his nuclear power plant , using various methods of measurement. 

All in all , Divinity is fully conscious and is fully conscious of all aspects of the millions of universes and one part of one universe can and will interact with another part instantaneously,  by the process of supreme consciousness , a mind and consciousness certainly can travel faster than light , even our minds can transfer us instantly to another destination . Divinity is absolute , His mind and consciousness are non different , and thus, the energy and the energetic are one . The Vedas depict Divinity as Brahman ( all pervasive) Paramātma ( localised), and Bhagavan . ( personal )

One who knows these three aspects of Divinity is a knower of truth .

The astonishing thing is that the unlimited can be made known to the limited , if He couldn’t, He would not be unlimited.

The other aspects of quantum physics and unpredictable circumstances is demonstrated by Schrödinger cat ..

Ie .

WHAT IS SCHRÖDINGER’S CAT IN SIMPLE TERMS?

Schrödinger’s Cat, as a thought experiment, states that if you seal a cat in a box with something that can eventually kill it, you won’t know if the cat is alive or dead until you open the box. So, until you open the box and observe the cat, the cat is simultaneously dead and alive. 

The parallel in the Vedas is that consciousness affects matter , this point is much further demonstrated by the ” two slits experiment ” , ultimately, free will means the universe is unpredictable because it’s our actions and thoughts and deeds that make the universe function , in a responsive way and such actions are linked in spacetime…past , present and future.

DIVINITY has left it to you and the other conscious particles that surround you .Problem is everyone blames DIVINITY for what goes on , not understanding free will and the eternal consciousness caught up in matter.

Today’s slogan is that everything is for the people, and therefore, the government is for the people and by the people. The artificial way of living depending on factories and tools can render so-called happiness only to a limited number at the cost of millions. Since the energy of the mass of people is engaged in factory production, the natural products are being hampered, and for this the mass is unhappy. Without being educated properly, the mass of people are following in the footsteps of the vested interests by exploiting natural reserves, and therefore there is acute competition between individual and individual and nation and nation. There is no control or advice given by trained and sensitive representatives of Divinity , such mature and unbiased saintly persons are desperately needed in current times .We must look into the defects of modern civilization   and should follow in the footsteps  of the great leaders of  the past , like Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira , who always took good council from intelligent and pure hearted people , to cleanse man and wipe out anachronisms.

A rewrite and additions taken from Srimad Bhagavatam purport 1.10.5 originally from AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

In vedic society’s the intellectual classes were essential for guidance, the political classes must always keep good council from truly independent persons who have everyone’s interest at heart , and who know the value of independent states and the variable cultures within them all , such learned and respected scholars are sympathetic to all citizens of the world ,including the movements and needs of the tiniest creatures that walk the earth .

FOR PEACE AND GOOD SENSE IN THE WORLD…DONT WE NEED GOOD COUNCIL ? WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHY ARE GEOPOLITICAL SCHOLARS LIKE PROF .JOHN MEARSHEIMER OR JEFFREY SACHS BEEN CANCELLED AND IGNORED BY MEDIA AND POLITICAL CLASSES and only warmongers given voice ??.

Those interested can you tube Jeffrey Sachs analysis of current geopolitical matters Jeffrey Sachs interview Stong geopolitical tensions , or Professor John Mearsheimer who lectures at Chicago University on historical geopolitical topics.

Unfortunately, media outlets have not allowed this wise council to be aired

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.’ ”

In Vedic society’s there are the intellectual classes , and formally, social mobility .

The essence of educational pursuit is shown in the above verse , although in Vedic Culture, there are the Vipras, the brahmanas, and the Bhagavat Bhaktas , it’s clearly shown in the verse that whatever one’s external situation may be the perfection of life is only reached by the Bhagavat Bhakta , why ? because he or she discovers the original occupation of consciousness or the soul and enters into a relationship with Krishna. Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has written on this topic, and the book is entitled Jiva Dharma….( the occupational activity of the soul ) .

So sincere seekers of the truth of consciousness progression should aquire a copy .

Rg Veda, Säma Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda, Çikñä, Kalä, Vyäkaraëa, Nirukta, Jyotiña (astrology), Dhätu (metallurgy), Vedänta Darçana, Mémäàsä Darçana, Nyäya Darçana, Vaisheshika Darshana, Säìkhya Darshana, Pätaïjala Darçana (yoga), Puräëas and Dharma çästras (books on morality) are the 18 sciences.

Look out for further articles that will summarise each of the above .

With the state of the world both in terms of so-called democracies or so-called autocracies , I think it’s about time intelligent persons looked to conserve values and traditions and help stop the downward spiral where current unfit leaders are taking everyone, a dangerous and dark place and lets see how the Vedas actually recommend a combination of Autocracy and democracy the balanced approach carried out by qualified sincere persons , not here today gone tomorrow political classes who are not trained for purposes of any real governance. The Vedic systems of governance put people on the planet and all its inhabitants first .

We hear in many circles of the expression of oneness , especially in spiritual circles , but not necessarily exclusively. 

The Vedas has many things to say on the subject. 

In layman’s terms, oneness could be identified with anything from the oneness of a sports team employing skills to defeat opponents or, in more personal terms, the oneness two lovers may feel for each other .

The four main sampradayas of the Vedas , namely the Bramha , Laxmi , Rudra and Kumara sampradayas, whose main teachers are Mädhava acarya , Ramanuja acarya, Visnuswami and Nimbarkacarya , have a great deal to say on the topic , oneness is throughly analysed and is termed as  purified monism , specific monism, pure monism and  one and difference and finally inconceivable one and difference. 

The sanskrit term Pranaya means very intimate oneness with the interests , feelings, and emotions towards Divinity that are extremely prominently displayed and with extraordinary spiritual emotions, Rupa Goswami has an analysis of every single emotion and in his books describes pure unmotivated love .

The Sankacarya school of oneness with God’s impersonal energies are felt but to a much lesser degree than personality exchanges, and actually, the Sankacarya school illiminates     transcendental form , emotions, and intimate feelings towards Divinity .  The Sankacarya school appear not to  understand that  therapeutically , when emotions and feelings are exchanged in oneness with Krishna or His expansions , they become not a source  of difficulty but rather a source of ever increasing of bliss and love .

Kṛṣṇa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmājī, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.

O expert and thoughtful men, relish Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls.

Once, in a holy place in the forest of Naimiṣāraṇya, great sages headed by the sage Śaunaka assembled to perform a great thousand-year sacrifice for the satisfaction of the Lord and His devotees.

Once, in a holy place in the forest of Naimiṣāraṇya, great sages headed by the sage Śaunaka assembled to perform a great thousand-year sacrifice for the satisfaction of the Lord and His devotees.

One day, after finishing their morning duties by burning a sacrificial fire and offering a seat of esteem to Śrīla Sūta Gosvāmī, the great sages made inquiries, with great respect, about the following matters.

The sages said: Respected Sūta Gosvāmī, you are completely free from all vice. You are well versed in all the scriptures famous for religious life, and in the Purāṇas and the histories as well, for you have gone through them under proper guidance and have also explained them.

Being the eldest learned Vedāntist, O Sūta Gosvāmī, you are acquainted with the knowledge of Vyāsadeva, who is the incarnation of Godhead, and you also know other sages who are fully versed in all kinds of physical and metaphysical knowledge.

And because you are submissive, your spiritual masters have endowed you with all the favors bestowed upon a gentle disciple. Therefore you can tell us all that you have scientifically learned from them.

Please, therefore, being blessed with many years, explain to us, in an easily understandable way, what you have ascertained to be the absolute and ultimate good for the people in general.
