The world is driven and controlled by global conglomerates and their monopolies along with their global financial institutions wherein insider trading is rife , along with micro second stock , commodity, and currency trading. Localised economies within nation states , the Vedic way , bring relativity smaller incomes , and fools are regulated. Encroachment is the business of the unintelligent. Businessmen have inferia intelligence, but unfortunately, in the democratic world, they pay for and influence the way of the world where fools vote in fools that allow global encroachments .It’s a world where a fool makes so much money, and he gets so much power , and they can do harmful and stupid things with it . There are no intelligentsia in government or administration positions or in advisory capacities , a fools money and power in todays world cancels the intelligentsia, they remain unheard , only the fools are heard and broadcast.
The Srimad Bhagavatam points out clearly the quality and duty of every section of society, and importantly says , if one person takes the position of another artificially and without qualifications the world will head for continuous disasters in many ways , that is what we are currently witnessing. The intelligentsia must be looked for, fools voting in fools needs to change to the wise voting in the wise http://www.thevedicspectator.com
In a world of education and supposed logic and rational thinking , it’s important for the theological minded to counteract speculations and guessings in the sciences that are being presented as fact based sciences ..Although trancendental emotions and spiritual feelings are very powerful and can over come any intellectual bias when it comes to understanding Divinity , still Divinity Himself explains His , what the Vedas refer to as , Vibutis , or Krishna’s energies of function within the material world, and that make up both the microbial world and the multidimensional universes. Krishna from within the Vedas also explains social sciences and His favoured political systems. So along with the bliss of spiritual love and pure consciousness, which is actually the most important, come the truely rational and logical and scientific explanations to our world and circumstance.
Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita spends His time speaking to Arjuna , everything in summary about the make up of mind , matter , consciousness, time and the difference between living in a spiritual or a material realm have been spoken of . How the two reflect for various reasons is clear , free will and determinism are played out along with justice and a judiciary. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all in his books, which are available throughout the world in every language.
In His Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna gives His trancendental analysis of the workings of karma, jnana , astanga, and Bhakti yoga . When Bhakti is added, everything becomes blissful and knowledgeable . In other words, everything can be understood in the right light, and the trancendental connections between all yoga systems become apparent. Krishna says one who knows the path jnana and karma leads to the same result is knowledgeable . This is because if one acts dutifully in karmic duties as given in theological cultures, connections with Divinity naturally awaken . Its Divinity Himself, who brings forth within the Vedas the process for gainfully living that includes systematic knowledge and detachment. Karma, when dutifully carried out, leads inevitably to degrees of karma yoga as knowledge of God and sacrifice will be naturally increased by good pious activities. Karma yoga in its beginnings leads to increased levels of Bhakti in the association and guidance of saints and godly persons , and such association naturally leads to increased levels of jnana , I.e. knowing the purposes of the Vedas and knowing how to please Divinity as such, knowing who Krishna is and what Krishna’s purposes are .
Those who , because of previous lives or tendencies for jnana or knowledge, can in the association of saints become more aware of the real purposes of knowledge which are that all kinds of thinking processes and intellectualism should lead to actions, or karma yoga , and in the case of high levels of jnana ,its called niskama karma yoga .Karma yoga with greater knowledge and greater awareness of Divinity. In both cases, karma or jnana yoga leads to pure Bhakti, without Bhakti karma and jnana yoga will not progress far or fast , but rather in slow increments .The addition of Bhakti leads to increased hearing and chanting about Krishna and increased levels of pure meditations centred exclusively on Radha Krishna and all the activities of Their friends and family members , this can be termed as pure Astanga yoga . The windows to the spiritual world are there within the litratures of the Goswami’s who Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu personally taught . Everything is made clear within the litratures of the Goswami’s and by the param para acaryas who follow the Goswami’s. Sadhu sanga and sastra sanga, along with service with devotion, is the clear path laid out , the chanting of the names of God are the means to understand everything .
Stop generational or cultural hatred of all kinds and respect differences.
Generational hatred caused by conflicts and wars takes a long time to shift. Obviously, Israel is currently preparing the ground for a lot more of it . The USA led policy of Nato expansion are fueling a fire of hatred that will be very hard to extinguish in the Russian/Ukraine conflicts. Misunderstandings of political ideals are common but they are driven by those who live in darker modes , not leaders of men , but rather who need to be led and, in most cases, to the cells . Different cultures obviously operate differently and make different things priorities. It’s common for cultures to veiw scientific matters differently, theological matters differently, and theological conclusions often differ . Divinity, the Vedas says, can be known in different ways , and the modes of psychological natures mean over time cultures in all areas will differ , but the underlying principles are the same in many respects . We can not presume one kind of life and culture is the divine way , there is oneness and differences. As such, both the extreme wokeists and libertines or the dogmatic theists are not at all balanced persons. When it comes to political matters, there are also extrames , certainly so-called free market capitalists , who, in truth, create global monopolies and centralised financial institutions are unbalanced persons. In terms of conflicts , the best of the Islamic scholars should be accepted by Muslims. The best of the Jewish scholars should be accepted by the Jewish people .The best of the Christian scholars should be accepted by Christians. Those who use religion to create violence , division, and hatred are not Gods representatives , quite the opposite. The acceptance of all faiths and the rights of the people and their lands must be accepted by all scholars who represent particular faiths . Previously supposed representatives of faith had Jesus himself handed to the Romans and those so-called representatives insisted on his crucifixion.. Many supposed followers of Islam think they go to heaven for murderous campaign’s of innocent bystanders , how foolish and ignorant, that God wants people killed , and that an unthinking impure person can judge who God wants killed .This is demoniac. This is irreligion, of course . As was handing Jesus to the Romans and insisting on his death . Any new looks at old religious traditions are sometimes hard for the old guard or the fanatical following to accept . However, truthful theological gentle souls are able to understand time , place, and circumstance and easily work together with not only every theological culture but can adapt to modern cultures. The truth of absolute truth in the material atmospheres can be easily lost or altered by the crooked , who often want to grab power in the name of God , but it’s not . Throughout history’s , including theological cultures, this has often occurred . It’s also not surprising. In Bhagavad Gita Krishna says ” Again and again I come to reestablish proper religious practices and truths within societal affairs. ” Because over a course of time truth gets eroded by materialism , and even the representatives of religious traditions change the meanings or purposes of the religion, they purport to represent . Everything becomes politically motivated, and original religion is lost . It becomes corrupted. Krishna, then, at that time, comes personally or sends a representative to reestablish truth . Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , one of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas, received threats to his life because he reintroduced truth of the Hindu scriptures in regards to the caste system. The establishment of the Gaudia Vaisnava’s in the West still can not be understood by many established traditions in India . So much so that Western people are not allowed into some Indian temples . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s applications of Krishna consciousness in the West could not be understood even by his own Godbrothers in some cases . In the case of Jesus, the Jewish priests were wrong , we can now see the success of the preaching of Jesus worldwide .
Still, traditions can and should be carefully respected , and the people of old traditions can be respected and tolerated and in humble ways . There is no need for violence and hatred , that is the demoniac solution, rather understandings and dialogue between scholars should be encouraged , paying true respect to one and all, and tollerance are the teachings of Jesus , Muhammad, and Caitanya Mahāprabhu. that teaching is contained in every religion.
Dawkins and Cronin’s speculative dreams are everyone’s nightmare
Religion is an aftermath….of life’s arrival…says Dawkins and Cronin , they believe, as leaders of scientific communities , its their job to present themselves as authorities who present real authentic objective scientific knowledge . However, when the real scientific intelligensia push them harder on the sciences they present, they admit and submit …that in reality, they are actually clueless and just don’t know how life or consciousness came about . The public think one thing and are bamboozled by their high talkes , but languages describing science mean nothing if the expressions are only in the subjective minds and not objectively seen in the real world. That’s cheating, misleading “science “
Dawkins and Cronin have been taught since childhood and throughout their educational experiences , their teachers, and other PHD. profs .were also speculative thinkers who have also dishonestly presented guesses to students, but as fact based sciences . It’s a chain of crooked teachers going back to its origins, Charles Darwin . Darwin intelligently observed micro evolution but added macro speculations. The atheistic jumped on the Darwinian bandwagon, creating neo Darwinism, bolstered by scientific materialism. The natural history museum in London is the prime example . What’s the first thing endless school children see when schools organise tours . As soon as they walk in the door , the eyes are focused on apes turning into men . Indoctrination from childhood , although Lucy has the gait of an ape , that’s ignored , children are not told .The natural history museum even looks like a church in its construction . We can say that on all psychological levels, cheating is carried out .
Dualism is real , consciousness and matter, two entirely different substances, and it’s a self-evident truth , that can not be denied. Only those deliberately keeping themselves in darkness try to hide in the primordial soup . Dawkins tells his students to ignore what appears as design in the world ,” close your eyes and intelligence to it,” he effectively says . Consciousness , in objective terms, is to be accepted as a phenomenon different from matter , it needs examining not ignoring . Thus, theological cultures , using teleological arguments, present the natural conclusion that any origin of consciousness , namely God , would have the responsibility to cater for both free will along with deterministic outcomes .
Both the atheistic and theistic need satisfying on all levels . The Vedas indicates educational experiences for every wondering particle of consciousness , particles of consciousness who find themselves enclosed and entrapped in matter , I.e the material body . Each having to deal with all the consequences that brings the individual . Free will and determinism needs catering for ,as well as justice and learning, and its Divinity job to do so . So perfect are the arrangements that they are carried out so as to not cause obvious disturbances to the outright atheistic. The most intelligent of atheistic people have a right to be atheistic. IF God was on an obvious view, there would be no free will . In reality, in the world of molecular science absolutely no evidence whatsoever demonstrares molecules themselves move towards life . In fact, the chemistry behind molecules are so inconceivably complicated in their own right , ask a synthetic chemist how chemical evolution is propaganda , chemicals and molecules have specifications and precision , they dont just throw themselves together and then bubble to life . All objective evidence , in sciences, points to dualism , when consciousness enters matter, information systems accompany it . Matter and consciousness are two different substances, first consciousness comes, and only then informational systems that organise and structure matter ” self organise ” Superior engineering from beginning to end of the machine like body points logically to an engineer , if you see smoke you know there is fire . When you see codes and highly complex codes , incalculably more sophisticated than computer codes , you think of a code writer .A code writer and engineer beyond our comprehension . The more we look into the microbial world, the more we see even more sophisticated engineering. Those advocates who sing the glory of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis only continue to fool themselves and try to take their brand to indoctrinate. Best to study objective sciences and bypass subjective guessing that claims to be objective science..
How do you know who is who in religious circles, and who are masters in self-evident dualism ?
If we find violence and hatred …this means the theologians and their religious representatives are clueless in reality and are not representing God , quite the opposite. Actually theological cultures of every kind have the systematic processes of gradual development of knowledge of both mind , matter, and consciousness that lead to pure consciousness.. .In all religions, there are first class, second class, and third class followers. If anything is presented fanatically with hatred and intolerance, and unscientifically it’s because it’s being presented by third class unthinking follower…who has little realisation of God . One should seek first class followers who understand God and have objective knowledge of consciousness and an understanding of the varied plights of the conditioned souls . Such advanced spiritual persons can demonstrate a particular path suitable for everyone in the sciences of self realisation, according to a particular persons state of consciousness, Thus gradually free them from their lower speculative tendencies and conditions that have them overly identifying with gross and subtle matter . Practical applications within theological cultures are well understood by the first class representatives .Heaven and Hell preaching are a sign of a third class devotee. In any religion , first class representatives should be sought , and every scripture will tell them clearly their symptoms .common sense is required .Einstein said that Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame. He was spot on . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
You have heard the expression and the song, perhaps. In Vedic cultures, it’s taught that we are a particle of Divinity, the one has become many, but remains the one . We are not robotic downloads of God , but individuals with free will . Bring seperated parts of God , does God take pleasure in getting to know us , we have , in material existence, two parts to us , our conditioned material form , God knows it well , He gave it , they are His energies , and we have our original spiritual consciousness, its that original consciousness that God would like to know .. Does He know you already , some of you , but in pure love unpredictability increases and brings spontaneous pleasure , the more pure we are the more freedom we have , Narada Muni is free to wonder all over the material and spiritual realms , love means trust .
Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha tells us of how the impossible has become possible, it was Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu who taught the ultimate truth , and his doctrine of the living beings being inconceivably and simultaneously one and different from Divinity brings the absolute truth into perspective..Madhava acarya , Ramanuja acarya, Visnu Swami and Nimbarka acarya have systematically and progressively taught Jiva tattva , the truth of the position of the jiva soul , but Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has brought everything together and given a little more in revealing the oneness of love, the Pranaya, of Srimati Radharani and Her Manjari assistants. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Children are naturally simple hearted , the qualities of spiritual consciousness. By simple heartedness, we can approach Krishna, not with suspicion or doubt, neither can we approach Sri Guru in that frame , in this way we can learn from children and we should not impose adulthood upon them too early . The adult becomes crooked in dealings of duplicity and self calculations …some education should be there for children as this book suggests , but light touch . Simplicity is Vaisnavism as Srila Gour Govinda Swami would say ..if you offer a child a sweet they will immediately take it …..they will not think “oh why is this person offering a sweet what are they after .”….The pure hearted disciple immediately accepts Krishna consciousness. But in adulthood, there is first suspicion, then doubt, then everything cleared by intelligence and faith .The child needs careful protection, but not made into adults, that comes later.
In spiritual life, faith carries us a long way, and doubts are slayed with the sword of knowledge . In todays woke libertine world its even more vital to protect ourselves from all kinds of libertine new age cultures that are increasingly turning human culture of consciousness into a gross culture based on sensuality and chasing every minds desire . Certainly, it’s a dangerous place in that sense, and children need looking out for and adults alike .
Look out for the business conglomerates…..as well ..
The very worst thing about global conglomerate and monopoly culture is that busines men are clueless about social sciences , they are not philosophically minded and lack true sensitivity. They have their place in society below the administrations and the intelligentsia who alone properly understand scientifically dualism. When the unthinking businessmen get a free reign, he creates havoc by his greed for profit .Within global economics the unthinking businessmen become very rich , and being foolish and less intelligent by nature spends money unwisely in increasing exploitation, creating many miseries and deaths by wars . They are spreading woke libertine atheistic cultures. Give lots of money to a fool he or she spends it unwisely and in harmful ways , that’s their nature , thus they need watching over and restrictions placed upon them . The Vedic culture condemns global economics brought about by greed and poor administrations. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Western economies are based on borrowing and printed money, when the need arises , and also of promises of what a country and its companies might deliver in the future . This fuels the gambling casino like stock , currency, and commodity markets . Miniscule percentages of the world benefit from the gambling stock and commodity markets. Money should be invested in banks that can support local businesses and local economies within nation states . The international financial institutions are out of control , unregulated and are infiltrated and exploited by a darker and greedy section of world communities . Such persons control governments instead of governments controlling them . The Vedic way are designed to instigate governance and compliance with the intelligentsia at the head . International pillaging and encroachments on international scales would come to an end .The USA leads the ways of debts and formally unipolar dominance. It has a 38 trillion dollar national debt , it also makes sure it can service debts with approximately 750 military bases in 80 countries throughout the world. The Vedic way of finance , diplomacy , and trading is based on the self-evident rights of all nation states , on fair trade deals , on sharing of technologies and support for all countries , and developed self reliance .The current unipolar world, which is now fading , is deliberately designed to make all countries dependent on one or two countries. This is completely against the Vedic ideals . Respectful relationships within a multicultured world and, importantly, local economies, for local people in their nation states .This is possible and practical when scientific dualism is understood and taught , that consciousness development should supersede consumerism . This is the understanding that consciousness is entirely different from matter and this knowledge will reshape the world and ultimately world economies as well as geopolitical matters .Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has a lot to answer for , as well as religions who have an unscientific approach to consciousness or a materialistic at heart , having been swallowed up within the world of consumerism .
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has , under the directions of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , presented to the world the Srimad Bhagavatam. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu empowered the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana , and the Srimad Bhagavatam presented by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas follows strictly the teachings of Srila Rupa Goswami alongside Srila Jiva Goswami, Srila Sanatana Gosvami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami . The great scholar Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami is referenced in the works of Srila Jiva Goswami. Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on the Bramha Sutra, the condensed form of the four Veda . The original Vedas that Veda Vyasa sectioned into four presentations . The Srimad Bhagavatam contains the teachings also of the Puranas, and the Itihasas, including the Mahabharata. It is important to note that many substantial practical lessons are contained within the Vedas for a systematic development of spiritual culture for everyone of all occupations or spiritual standing . One may wonder why the Bhagavatam contains and gives mentions of the material and spiritual . Krishna has the responsibility for education and enlightenment, so He comes amongst us and teaches us . He appears like one of us at times and, in many, many incarnations over the course of time he reestablishes religious and progressive teachings . The Srimad Bhagavatam brings to our attention the descriptions of many varieties of spiritual planes of existence along with the different types of relationships the living beings enjoy in association with Divinity . As Krishna, the supreme Personality of Godhead , He invites us to become one of His many family members or friends or lovers directly or as assistants to them to enjoy informal family life .
The smiling face of the Srimad Bhagavatam , which is depicted in just over twenty chapters of tenth Canto , is the confidential pastimes of Krishna in His” Dhira Lalita form” , these pastimes depicted in the Bhagavatam are purposely minimal , but are elaborated upon within the Smriti of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas , headed by Srila Rupa Goswami and Ragganatha das Goswami.
Every relationship with Divinity are glorious in their own way, and so are the devotees who have preferences for particular relationships or forms of Divinity.
The Bhagavatam is a practical guide for everything and everyone, that’s why it’s being presented to all people by Krishna in His form as Vyasadeva . It applies to everyone and everyday living but also it describes trancendental living , although everything is spiritual in its own way . Thus, the Bhagavatam brings the peripherals of the Vedas and the cor of it together . We should not just present the cor , and neither should we just present the just peripherals.
The expert Bhagavat ,the personification of the Bhagavatam, knows the art of both the cor and peripherals .
Thus, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami’s society ISKCON has its footprints all over the world and is systematically bringing the understanding of all things spiritual as well as teaching how to use the material world, its to be used in connection with Krishna in Krishna consciousness.
It’s not the technical society of ISKCON as such , but individuals within it , as well as those who are loosely connected to it , including those from other Gaudia Vaisnavas groups , who know what AC Bhavtivedanta Swami is doing , under the order of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja . This is why they all bow down before him , for his incalculable services to his Guru Maharaja and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
The correct way to understand how the social religious Vedic societies are to benefit the world , along with its natural and inherant systems bringing social and spiritual mobility for everyone, that reinstate and correctly interpret an original purpose , beyond the perversions of smarta caste consciousness , is simply to add scientifically understood Krishna consciousness to an already existing social system . Four classes of persons are found in all societies , What their particular duties are have been established by Krishna. The founder of ISKCON AC Bhavtivedanta Swami would speak about society as being so many zeros. ZERO is meaningful when the number one is added , and then so many zeros take on substance. The founder Acarya of ISKCON Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say you only have to add Krishna consciousness to what you like to do , and what are your natural inclinations . The social political proceedings, along with progressive lives for all, will occur if the right persons are doing the correct occupations they have the psychological makeup for . Importantly, the motivations of all persons must be linked to scientific dualism , the underlying principle of culture of consciousness as different than matter . Within all societies, different persons have been arranged with particular qualities by Divinities arrangements for the upkeep of society. There are the intelligentsia , both of the scholarly kind , and the spirituality realised kind , who understand body, mind, and consciousness . They should be the guiding light because they are pure , detached, and devoted to Divinity, they are expert in understanding every aspect of the Vedas and its practical implementations . Also, within societal affairs, we will find persons of valour , just persons, protectors of society who feel for the people and want the best for everyone , they are warriors and administrators or leaders of mankind , but they are always advised by the intelligentsia.
Naturally, there are business persons who love to turn a profit and can keep economics running nicely , and then we have craftsmen and workers .
Everyone within the greater body of society simply needs to add spiritual knowledge , i.e. , knowledge of body mind and consciousness, dualism , to their lives . Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis stops this process , which leads to libertine cultures and sophisticated animal life .If Krishna consciousness or scientific dualism is taught, then motivations and directions change for everyone, the self-evident truth of equality of all beings is understood, and sensitivity follows .
When the top of society is correctly situated , the rest of society automatically follows . Social and spiritual mobility is included within the original Varna Ashram system . Degradation of our world is in full swing and perversions of all kinds , this happens when someone unfit , or a particular group of people who are demons gang together , and think of themselves as superior and need no lessons from anyone , including God Himself .
