The epistemology and etymology of the Gaudia Vaisnava tradition along with its spiritual and esoteric practices are central to Gaudia Vaisnavaism , whereas peripheral beliefs and practices about various aspects of  learning and approaches to the cor beliefs , utilising practical living  and  gradual methods of purification that are derived from the need to understand and progress towardand enter into the core beliefs ,  are more easily reflected upon and understood   by a majority . These  are easily accessible . ie. From proper understanding of ISKCON and its broad  approach in teaching  Vedic culture. 

.Such  PERIPHERAL practices are also at times adapted and  changed , according to time place and  circumstances. 

The two distinct  systems  of cor esoteric and peripheal beliefs and practices should give support to each other , but the PERIPHERAL practices and beliefs should not supersede the core beliefs  or take priority over the practices that bring one to the param gatim , the ultimate goal that Mahāprabhu clearly defines in his conversations with Ramananda Roy. 

As ISKCON spreads it’s wings it should probably make clear to itself , and its following,  what is its function in the above considerations . Some will argue  , that ISKCON should play a direct role in all the PERIPHERAL and esoteric core practices and others will stick strongly to the argument that only the core beliefs should be prioritised and its practices are its main concern , and that automatically if the core beliefs and practices are prioritised its mission will be successful and  if it loses sight of its deep core beliefs and practices, everything will be lost in time , they have a point of course.

In Bhagavad Gita 2.46.

Krishna speaks of this topic , all purposes of a small well can be served by a great ocean , all purposes of the Vedas are served by one who knows the purposes behind the Vedas .

Never mind WiFi or LIFY used on the net , with its capability of the breakdown and transportation of information from one place to another , using electromagnetic or light waves , or its abilities to take one to virtual worlds .

It’s incomparable to the yogic principles of transportation of consciousness immediately to the spiritual realms with full and absolute experiences in a spiritual body to differing degrees via a spiritual mind manifesting that body .

Meditations defined in the sastras as smaranam, spurati and avivbhava meditation .

The last of which is the ultimate transportation of the spiritual senses and body , that’s transported to the spiritual realm via connections to the unlimited energies of the internal and spiritual sandhini , samvit and hladini energy and a transported soul offering personal services to satisfy the emaculate senses of Krishna , in the spiritual world.

The words of the founder of ISKCON. AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Baradrāj: Yesterday you gave an example of a man who was lying asleep in bed, and he is transported somewhere in dream, walking on the beach. What is the full…? Because we’re going to try to make an exhibit of it. So what is the full analogy? Is he actually going to another place by his mind? He’s actually transported?

Prabhupāda: The soul is going there. The seer is the same in this gross body or in the subtle bodies. I am in the…, walking in this gross body, I’m seeing this ocean, and I will leave my gross body in dream, I go to India. So the seer is the same. That is the proof of transmigration. He’s dreaming tiger, and he’s crying, “Here is a tiger, tiger, tiger,” and another man, who is seer of the body, he says, “Where is tiger?” So this is the difference. One is seeing through this gross body, another seeing through the subtle body, but the seer is the same. Transmigration of the soul means when he’s seeing through… That is practical. The child, when he’s seeing through the childish body, he’s talking nonsense. The same soul, when he’s talking as an elderly person, he’s talking beautiful. The seer is the same, simply the glass is changed = sometimes blue, sometimes red. [break] The seer is the same, medium is different. That you have… And dead body means the seer is no longer there. It has entered another body. [break]

Pradyumna: …when someone is sleeping and dreaming, that the seer has left the gross body?

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.

Yoga is often thought to be a series of exercises for a healthy body and deep breathing for a healthy mind , that conception is a commercial, very limited understanding of yoga .

Yoga literally means to link with the supreme , and ultimately, the Supreme is as personal as you and I .

In the Vedas, many prescribed methods are given of approach to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who reciprocates with unlimited approaches of unlimited particles of consciousness in unlimited ways .

By the unlimited mercy of the unlimited, the limited can know something of the unlimited, writes AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in his Srimad Bhagavatam purports .

So , if one is really sincere and inquisitive and is seeking the truth of the actual purpose of Yoga in the real sense with its unlimited connections to the many possibilities of the spiritual and material multidimensional planes , he or she would do well to open the pages of the Srimad Bhagavatam and seek guidance from a spiritual master who is familiar and actually a master of Yogic principles and practice.

Niels Bohr , Schrödinger and William Teller, who understood the principles of quantum physics and consciousness , constructed around the Copenhagen interpretation is another good source of scientific information.

Remember Richard Feynman said anyone who thinks he conclusively understands the workings of quantum physics means he doesn’t know .

We are mearly drawing attention to its mysterious connections to consciousness and giving Vedic Parallels .

Racism is condemned by all good thinking persons ,  bone fide religious teaching naturally teach of the soul  the body is the machine that carries the soul .An external machine has no real bearing when it comes to understanding spiritual  consciousness . The equality of all persons was clearly understood by the original founding fathers of the USA , at least academically, who wrote in their constitution that this equality is a self-evident truth , and indeed it is to sensibly situated and balanced educated persons , incidentally those persons should be leaders , not peddlers of hate and division.

The questions come regarding freedoms, just how far do you want to take Liberal democracy , and the rights of freedom of expression and lifestyle. Does it mean if the majority of unthinking persons can become convinced by a small minority of other unthinking persons who have the means to promote a message that something that was thought  harmful is actually good for everyone , that such messages should be openly broadcast in the name of freedom. think of just about anything.

What are the measuring tools for the levels of liberalism if  any , who is able to give references , what is the source, and why should it be accepted

Scientific knowledge of the workings of the body , mind and consciousness will be required in order to make sure that human existence is utilised for  the greatest benefits of individuals and communities and nations . Naturally the Vedas says there are always an intelligentsia within societal stuctures , there always has been snd always will be , Divinity has the responsibility to guide societal affairs and He does so by favouring the Brahminical classes , they are the essential elements in society,  and they spontaneously have a heart for all living beings and through their applications of theological studies are scientifically in tune with nature ,phycological matters ,spiritual matters and social sciences of every kind . They can explain in detail what is good and why its good and what is bad and why its bad , and they can set practical programs to bring the attached to detachment , addicted to the bad , people need the path out to experience the higher tastes of the good . Goodness , passion, and ignorance all need a thorough understanding, and the Brahminical classes know these topics well . Further body developments need understanding and psychological journeys, good and bad should be taken into account , the real human brings are aware of these sensitivities,  but not animal like leaders , who do not take advice from the intelligentsia but rather ignore them , and promote animalistic freedoms,  this is the real problem society is facing,  fools have voted in fools , the results are clear . The science of consciousness and rasa are given in the Vedas , the full understanding of exchanges and  the potential of love are given and as  well self imposed degradation of consciousness causing the original pure love to decend to the lower depths of unlimited lust , with bodies of many many types to facilitate that , spontaneously delivered by the material energies within 8,400,000 species of life . What is the cause of all causes , Richard Feynman admitted was a difficult topic , but there is always a cause of everything , nothing happens by chance , everything has a scientific explanation , and this supreme science is discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam third canto. THE fundamental principles of material nature.

Bharat muni  completed his Natya sastra , a study of the rasa of mundane love.
Srila Rupa Gosvami adopted some of the rasa explanation  of Bharat Muni to explain the origins of unlimited rasa  of the spiritual realm from the reflected version that we find in the material worlds , both  in higher , middle and lower planetary systems explained in the fith Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam.  Rupa Goswami intentions were  to give some hint of spiritual rasas and  tastes  of  a spiritual body with spiritual mind ,intelligences, and spiritual senses.
So  the technical sneha , mana ,  pranaya , raga , anuraga and bhava principles that are explained  by Bharat Muni  and adopted by Rupa Goswami but the further and higher realms of pure prem and  mahabhava..have been added , this higher explanation of rasa is  introduced by Rupa Goswami to take the subject beyond the conception of material rasa  that’s experienced to a limited degree and he is bringing us to the unlimited trancendental rasa displayed in Vraj , wherein the 64 excellences of spiritual unlimited qualities in relationship are displayed that are ever increasing and are experienced as ever new .

Purport of this is that, Rasa is the very essence of Godhead and although in the pre-Caitanya era different Bhakti Rasa Sastra were written, the special gift of Mahäprabhu is the form of brilliant amorous devotion in allegiance to the beautiful girls of Vraja is now being preached and presented to the world by Rüpa Goswami in his books Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu, Ujjvala Nilamani, Vidagdha Mädhava, Lalita Mädhava . That amorous mellow of Vraja that was previously inaccessible to Brahmä, Siva, Uddhava and any other Saint of Demigod is now, by Mahäprabhu’s grace, described by the (wise seer) of Vraja rasa, Srimad Rüpa Gosvami, in his Rasika books and dramas. THE followers of Rupa and Ragganatha das should be consulted for full understanding of this topic .

The World wide society ISKCON founded by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, under the order of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami , who was under the order of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur is currently in the business of distributing the knowledge of Rupa Goswami wholesale, all over the world.

After the 2008 crash …Banks needed to boost their books .

0% interest rates suited them fine .

A deliberate ploy by the elite financial groups to raise the price of assets ,

 mostly house price inflation…..which the press don’t care about..

Who benefits from high house prices … probably the Conservative voters plus older people…

But actually , mostly the banks …

Obviously, youngsters have to borrow beyond their limits right now ….off the banks ….who are now busily and happily recouping their 2008 gambling looses ..

This is not a free market democracy its a fixed market,  manipulated by self interest groups …

Another essential ingredient to their plans ….to stop building houses , especially social housing ….

And allow large landlords groups to be paid billions in housing benefit claims from their tenants….

Currupt Currupt and more corruption,  by governments influenced by Currupt lobby groups….who have no care for the needs of families,  who have no housing security or even houses with gardens for their children to play ..

Thus democracy fails the people its supposed to represent.

Because its been infiltrated by interest groups whose only business is making a fast buck ….at the cost of human misery…

It was the financial elite who gorged themselves for years on low interest rates , cutting out access of cheaper money to the poorer while actually charging the poor more for borrowing.

But now the chickens are coming home to roost because of the globalists’ demand to open up autocratic states , the gauntlet has been thrown down to Putin and other autocratic states , the results are inflation out of control , Biden and Johnsons war , is costing lives and livelihoods , if only they had listened to John Mearsheimer and other credible academics, rather than their financial globalists friends.

I dare the media companies to voice this concern…

After the 2008 crash …Banks needed to boost their books

The Vedas has the perfect system , not too much democracy , not too much autocracy….but a balanced third way . Those who study the Vedas properly can clearly see this more balanced and caring approach , allowing for enterprise, but enterprise that’s operated in a true free market manner.

Minus repeated government interventions that assist the few at the cost of the many .

Like currencies, armies should only be directly under the control of nation states . WHERE full accountability can be recorded , in current times, both money and armies are in the hands of those who do not have the morals’ ethics or sensitivities but rather dubious persons are making decisions , based on profit and exploitation of recourses , the innocent citizens are left to one side , or killed , or driven off their lands , there has never been a greater need to establish knowledge based vedic knowledge worldwide, which is the source of practical wisdom in every field of life .
