The mission of AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The essence of Krishna consciousness

FOUNDER ACARYA OF ISKCON…

ISKCON has both cor and peripheral goals . The cor goals are the esoteric teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu as he laid out to Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s .AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has indicated in his books what they are and has summarised everything . The  peripheral goals are very important because they are to in time link all members of society to the cor , this can be achieved in one life or the many life approach. So to some , and I stress only some of the peripherals.  To fulfill the vision of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , the founder Acarya of ISKCON things like reintroducing lost aspects of Vedic culture that are said to have originally permeated societies world wide can be again introduced for the social benefits and progressive benefits of consciousness and mental health. ISKCON will be  highlighting the common traits and language connections  between many of the historical world cultures.  Many English words have their origins in Sanskrit ,  as does Latin . As well,  it’s easily seen that many existing cultures and religions have obvious Vedic connections. ISKCON’S nonsecterian outlook brings to the forefront the true equality of all beings, a self evident truth , Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the USA constitution, famously wanted that phrase in the constitution .

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  Bhaktivinode Thakur, who envisioned a united world of philosophy science and religion . This  would be based on the very broad Vedic teaching that brings both  social and spiritual mobility. The all-encompassing understanding of Divinity is at the heart of ISKCON . Other Gaudia Vaisnava’s also know of these truths , but ISKCON has a large and effective organisational structure in place that is improving all the time , they are situated according to the teachings and practices of Rupa Goswami , Sanatana Gosvami and Ragganatha das Goswami , who were personally trained and taught by Lord Krishna in His appearance as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu . His teachings are centred around a gradual evolution of consciousness initially through Devi Varna Ashram and culminating in full Love of God as exhibited by Srimati Radharani and her confidants in Goloka Vrndavana

Bertrand Russell says the problem with fools and fanatics are they are so sure of themselves..

Yes …spot on

Checks and balance are part of the truth .
In Vedic systems, there are three ..

And most importantly everything someone says should be objectively varified.
Truth is self evident

But the crooked prefer speculations and the subjective world , and then spend their time convincing less intelligent fools they have access to truth .

Multidimensional universe with different laws of nature and time the Vedas say .

The scientific community, for reasons best left to them to explain , assume all parts of the universe are subject to the same physical laws , including time . They also think  the same chance evolutionary laws mean life will evolve in similar ways in other planets of the  universe in pretty much identical ways as ours

Recently, scientists have begun to think quite  differently.  Certainly the Vedas have a lot to say on universal affairs and perhaps the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall is more closely aligned to the Vedas with her “Branes” (as in membrane) theory , which brings us different laws and also planes of existence visible only to certain types of senses . Ethereal planes of existence that have  opulences beyond our imagination and of much finer qualities  is the Vedic science. Time and  relativity are Einstein’s thoughts, which are certainly played out throughout the Vedic universe.

Even in our experience of sensual life , the human cannot hear the high pitch of a dog whistle or the low sounds of the blue whale within the deep oceans.  Senses differ . The  Vedas corroborated  that  but  take that this phenomenon much much further . The fifth Canto describes the multidimensional universe where laws and time operate according to another design , a higher grade of life with mind and senses to suit .  This is facilitating  consciousness, which displays  highly elevated states of beauty and emotions. We should remember the inexplicable varieties of life on this physical plane , and also remember the inexplicable varieties of minds and intellects , and we should never limit consciousness or the planes of existence it can reside in in terms of bodies or how long they are in existence. We should not limit God’s abilities or compare them  to ours .

The scientific community of  physicists is thinking

“While the idea of universal, unchanging physical laws is a cornerstone of modern physics, there is growing evidence and theoretical speculation suggesting that the same laws might not apply everywhere in the universe, and that some fundamental constants, like the fine-structure constant, might vary. However, it’s crucial to distinguish between the fundamental laws of physics and the way they manifest or appear in different regions of the universe. “

Dr Richard Thompson, PHd, has written on Vedic cosmology , and the 3rd and 5th Canto of the Bhagavatam reveal the varigatedness  of the multidimensional universe where time and physics operates entirely differently.

Because the sun exists photons exist.

Photons are one with but different than the sun .

Without the sun there would be no photons.

Because God exists we exist , if there were no God there would be no us .

We are one with and different than God

To overly state the difference of a photon from the sun without reference to the sun , its origins , would be incorrect

To overly state the difference of the living being without references to it origins , God , would be incorrect. Some leading devotees in ISKCON appear to .

Thus inconceivably oneness and differences between God and the living beings , in the case of the living beings Srila Jiva Goswami indicates in his Tattva Sandarbha that God makes the impossible possible .

Another interesting analogy in our sun example and relating it to the individual particles of consciousness is that  not all photons of light leave the sun. Some become absorbed back into the sun . Similarly, not all Jivas stay with Divinity,  some initially seek independence,  but the Vedas say most spontaneously stay with Him and are immediately attracted . Another analogy can be drawn , that  once the photons have been generated by the sun both those that stay or some who  have left the sun, they all  remain individuals  from it .

Listening to the  lecture at Conway Hall in London in the 1970s , given by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on the Introduction to Sri Isopanisad .
Prabhupada emphasis in parts is the absolute importance of Varna Ashram . He also brings to our attention the importance of establishing the Vedas and its truths , both relative and absolute .The Sankirtana movement that Prabhupada has introduced has core and peripheral aspects,  Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared for that purpose.
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami says we are not Hindu but members of the Varna Ashram.
The real key to Varna Ashram of course is establishing the spiritual intelligensia who naturally are looked up to as  advisors .The  administrative class need this input , who filter the directions down through  valuable governance and compliance systems to one and all . Progressive social and spiritual mobility in systematic ways for mankind  within their alloted environments are fully contained within the Vedas .
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur were well acquainted with all the truths of the Vedas and desired to  seriously introduce these  within society’s worldwide. It will incorporate approaches to all the  political , social , economic , and scientific matters as well as  cultural aspects, including art . Who is not fascinated by the depths of India , including its fashions , arts and music , such cultures can be infused into already existing cultures , which are in reality , and in many cases originating from the Vedas , there are many forgotten histories , and history writers are very often bias and employed by rascal leaders .

Ultimately, if we are serious about assisting these  acaryas, we need to set up think tanks to study different aspects of the Vedas and see how they can be applied to time place and circumstances. All good governance systems incorporate think tanks and long-term planning…
Such think tanks may  take years to come to balanced findings .If we are serious about assisting our acaryas. we need to set up think tanks to study different aspects of the Vedas and see how they can be applied to time place and circumstances.

Ultimately as Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami would say following the words of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja,  its a question of adjustment . The conversation with Ramananda Raya with Mahaprabhu shows everything has its place , but that  we should not  be stagnant and attached , we must progress beyond Varna Ashram .

This is confirmed by the six Goswamis of Vrndavana.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvāmīs, who are very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the revealed scriptures with the aim of establishing eternal religious principles for the benefit of all human beings. Thus, they are honoured all over the three worlds, and they are worth taking shelter because they are absorbed in the mood of the gopis and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.

Today in the Vedic Calendar we celebrate the appearance day of Lord Krishna, He is the original personality of Godhead who has numerous expansions such as Visnu. One of His expansions giving birth to the original engineer of universal affairs and transmitting the knowledge required for the precision engineering that takes place using informational exchanges in the building of material machine like bodies from the DNA coding.
Once Sir Fred Hoyle said that someone has monkeyed with the universe, he is right , but not in the way the Darwinians assume.

It’s a statement based on math …

One billion monkeys typing on one billion typewriters for one billion years will not produce a perfectly punctuated page of a Shakespeare script including the spaces between the words.
It takes a whole script of precisely formulated information to make a body , mutations degrades information , it does not add to it.

Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita explains five subjects ,

1. The position of Divinity
2. The position of living brings
3. The sciences of the workings of matter in all its forms
4. Time in its absolute and relative form
5. The monitoring of activites within a reactionary and responsive universe.
   http://www.thevedicspectator.com………..Two distinct paths .
   1.Scientific Materialism /Darwinianism
   The understanding of consciousness and the objective study of science.
   There is a huge gulf of difference between them , importantly political systems , social sciences , governance, economics and geopolitcal matters all look very very different when we adopt a particular path .Different choices made for different priorities.
   1, Animalistic but sophisticated sence and emotional enjoyments of the body .
   2.Cultivation of consciousness and understanding the true equality of it , and its endless possibilities when leaving the present body .
   Our priorities and our intelligently led choices should matter , who we are directed by makes the difference.

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.3 21

O my Lord, proprietor of all creation, You have now appeared in my house, desiring to protect this world. I am sure that You will kill all the armies that are moving all over the world under the leadership of politicians who are dressed as kṣatriya rulers but who are factually demons. They must be killed by You for the protection of the innocent public.

Lord Krishna 5000 years ago had appeared on this earth because he wanted to destroy everyone of the armies of the fake  kings those who claimed to be leaders , but they were leaders who were influenced by wrong thinking and influenced by the wrong people .All of them had become currupted , thus unfit to lead . Those Kings  were speculators and  misguided themselves. Consequently, they gave hell to everyone . So Krishna came to reestablish principles of religion, and by using military force, He assembled a huge army and soundly defeated them all , and gave the Kingdom’s back to those that were cheated out of it . Today Lord Krishna is still active in the world because Sri  Caitanya Mahāprabhu  has  appeared , non different from Him , with the purpose of killing the fake intellectualising of those who  follow speculations in the field of religion , science and social services , including political sciences . Who have been responsible for presenting speculations as fact base science and falsely claiming  globalisation creates wealth and peace for all . They  who succeed through deceitful libeterian ways to misguided society. Mahaprabhu’s sankirtana movement is redirecting the intelligence of society, and in future times , this movement will influence everything. We  can say  it’s already beginning to happen. The most intelligent people will gain prominence,  the real intelligensia ,who speak with knowledge of objective sciences and can bring about the quite natural social structures that are inherent within every country , all countries are quite capable of self reliance. Mahāprabhu does this through re-education and rediscovering the Vedic aphorisms and applying them to time place and circumstances.  This  Sankirtana  movement instigated by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu 500 years ago ,  in recent times has been introduced to the Western audiences by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada he  has very expertly assembled  many intelligent man and they are joining forces . ISKCON and other Gaudia Vaisnava’s are in the midst of re-establishing the Vedic principles and by their intelligence given to them by Krishna will again successfully present Vedic wisdom to very broad circles of the populations of the world . They will do so in such logical ways , the honest intellectuals will be part of this movement and it will easily defeat all the arguments of the speculators those that follow materialistic philosophies and indirectly give the go ahead to less intelligent political influencer’s who send the wrong messages to the general populace. Those that follow misinterpreted religions , those that follow scientific materialism , those that follow any science that falsely present speculations as fact , all such groups will be called out . Every one of their arguments will be defeated . It is said real knowledge is a decending process ,  Divinity possess full knowledge,  Divinity is absolute,  thus by chanting the Names of God , He is naturally fully present, the science of sound is presented in the Vedas .Krishna can bestow knowledge of Himself and His world,  science is His science , and every part of this world, along with all that live, has an intimate connection to Him .

The world has many purposes because there are inculcabable living entities within it each with particular purposes to fulfil or to enjoy or suffer the results of  and we thought the algorithmic tracking of billions of internet users  and simultaneously so was quite a feat . The  Vedas gives an insight to all the goings on within the universe and also tells of what everyone is looking for .

Every living being has rights, and any encroachments into another territory or consciousness which impacts in one way or another brings entanglements. One is duty bound one way or another and will have to be paid or pay. Harmonized  and fair society is based on respect, respect implies knowledge , and no respect implies  ignorance.  The originally intended leaders by Vedic calculations,  the actual intelligentsia, are those who execute moral and ethical justice systems within societal affairs and within the judiciary as a whole .

The leaders must have proper reference points. The absolute universal principles are well known by the wise who  understand  fully scientific dualism , mind , matter, and consciousness.

The first class persons who act with dignity and are knowledgeable of such universal principles both  locally,  nationally and  internationally and especially in their  own personal lives  are those we should look to , those who are devoid of such qualities  should be avoided and no question of such persons leading societies…….but they do …….whats going on ?

It is our actions as well as Krishna’s desire we find ourselves in the situations we do .
Just like a high court judge desires the rectification of the prisoner.
But the prisoner sends himself to prison.

The supreme Autocrat is all good , and whatever he does is all good .

Understanding the workings of the Supreme Autocrat is like trying to count the grains of sand in a desert.

But His workings and understanding to degrees can be learnt from His pure representatives, they are self effulgent to the prospective sincere inquirer , not otherwise.

We should always remember they say .
One who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong.
When Dharma is followed properly and leaders lead properly and still suffering comes , that’s Karma.

The Supreme Goddess of fortune accepts Divinity in all circumstances and never imposes her likes of dislikes on Him , only what He likes , and if it pleases Him that She expresses dislikes then She will happily do so .
For instance Srila Rupa Goswami in his Sri Ujjvala Nilamani , speaks of one of Radharani’s friends in relation to Krishna, she said ” When I want look annoyed at him my eyes to the opposite and I glance lovingly, when I want to run away from Him , my legs carry me towards Him , when I want want to speak in anger towards Him , I find myself speaking sweetly to Him .”
