Enclosed universe, infinite space, and the accuracy of cosmic calculations

Many ancient cultures spoke of the universe  being an  enclosed unit  with lower , middle, and upper planetary systems within a “shell ”, this indicates that the original cosmological knowledge of the Vedas , in former times was  widely distributed and worldwide cultures were influenced by it due to its  distribution . This was done by ancient trade routes as well as wondering  mendicants as well as exiled kings forming new kingdoms .

Outside of a universal shell , within which the upper , middle , and lower planetary systems were situated , cultures aligned with Vedic cosmology  understood as a place where  Divinity and His super subjective planes existed , with all the splendour of  a spiritual varigatedness , unaffected by time or any physical laws .

The Greeks and later the Arabic cultures as well as a  Vedic culture and other cultures from the South Americas all held this  similar understandings , thus these  cultures were intertwined and evidence for  a much earlier concept of a global world can be thought of .

When the Roman empire  conquered most of  Europe, having  taken in previously within their own cultures some aspects of Christianity ,  blind unscientific religious fanaticism began to develop , some or most of the traditional Vedic ways  of understanding our universe , along with a  greater scientific approach  to consciousness in general came to  decline . This unscientific, fanatical religious doctrine was forced on to the public by the use of militant and political might . Later , when the  Roman empire came to an end , Christians predominanted and scientific thinking outside the bible came to a complete halt .  But the old Arabic and Greek texts were still available, and  the  Mogal empires preserved  some of this  thinking of our universal structures .which was essentially theological in nature . In India, of course, this Vedic cosmological remained in tact .

The Renaissance period gave a rebirth to science and shunned religious fanatical doctrine. A rethinking of  the universe  order was formed  . Modern geometric systems and euclidean math was the new way of looking at life , so much so , that God was pushed out the picture, and so was dualism , meaning the mind and body as a seperate unit .  The mechanistic Darwinian world had begun, scientific materialism, that used  math and mechanistic thinking  , placed our stars millions of miles away,  and a concept of an infinite space,  with no God outside of a universal shell was developed and taught in educational systems. If there were a God ,  some thought,  it’s  probably an impersonal energy . The idea of a separate mind to matter was written off  because the mind could not be measured , and math could not be applied .

Measurements of the distance of planets in a multidimensional space,  as spoken about by Lisa Randall the Harvard Prof,  may not be so easy to calculate ,   the laws of physics are said in the Vedas to operate differently in different parts of the universe, so what  is far is near ,what is near is far in a multidimensional universe.

The ancient culture and sciences should not be hastily discarded and rubbished , or  replaced by scientific materialism , which in itself is a dogma , it cannot even account for a mind , but rather believe  it to  only be simple neurons firing in a mechanistic mathematical brain , these events all supposedly happening by chance in a chance universe . This mechanistic veiw could be said to be  ludicrously absurd , and discards the notion of the  intelligence and obvious design in just about everything we see ,  as well it ignores the perfect math in nature , where there is perfect mathematics you can bet your bottom dollar there is a perfect mathematician behind it .

Capturing something of the unlimited beauty of the heart of Radharani

Many artists , musicians , poets , philosophers , and intellectuals can  by special grace ,  and according to Bhagavad Gita  , due to  previous life’s connections  ,  capture a moment or so of  an unearthly and particular astounding emotional experience , a  hidden unlimited beauty and a captivating power of  pure  consciousness , temporarily overwhelms them and reveals itself  . Through these special moments, they may be fortunate enough to understand some extraordinary insight into a universal order , but then the moment disappears .

The absolute trancendental brilliance and qualities of one of the  greatest exchanges of  love in a spiritual realm  have been described in the Caitanya Caritamrita,  that literature reveals something of the feelings deep within a supremely spiritually pure heart . These esoteric teachings are explanations of the life of  Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu , who developed the need to understand the inner feelings of the Supreme Goddess of fortune. Krishna, as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to experience how the Supreme Goddess of fortune ,  Srimati Radharani, feels deep within Herself , in expressing Her loving moods and sentiments toward Krishna .  Krishna came to this earthly plane , serving specific purposes as Caitanya Mahāprabhu , and also tasted the sweetness of the heart of Radharani . Krishna, in fact, was searching after Himself because He wanted to know what Radharani felt in being in His association  . In searching after the feelings of Radharani  , Caitanya Mahāprabhu had broken open the storehouse of an ever new , ever enthusiastic , beauty  of  spontaneous love with unlimited expertise in ever new  playful moods and  accompanying it , is every one of the  unlimited sixty four excellenced of trancendental arts , excellences that  cannot even be imagined , and in doing so , He then goes about distributing this most  immaculate and highest of loving sentiments , to one and all . Magnanimity has its full expression and meaning when in the hands of Divinity in the words of Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami

Thus, the highest and most confidential fruits of absolute unconditional love have been handed down to the  most lowest and undeserving   persons . This demonstrates a fraction of the quality of the heart of the Supreme Goddess of fortune.

We should conclude correctly
Prabhupada is Jagad Guru, the world preacher .
Some of his Godbrothers were also capable of establishing Krishna consciousness in the heart.
But they were not world preachers .
Being a world preacher , Prabhupada was able and had to establish the peripheral teachings of the Vedas and the cor teachings. Ie Varna Ashram, sadhana bhakti and Ragganuga Bhakti.
And Prabhupada was highly intelligent, a brilliant writer , a brilliant communicator, a brilliant organiser, in fact just about brilliant in everything he did , he was formally a householder , whereas most of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati’s leading disciples were not , in that sense they were not so equipped to deal with matters of the establishment of the peripheral and  Varna Ashram goals , as Prabhupada was .
So, as Prabhupada said himself, ” All my Godbrothers are preaching in their own way , and he also said of most of them, “don’t even think negatively about them ”
That Prabhupada did what he did means he was no ordinarily person, but he was sent by Mahaprabhu and Nityananda and also empowered by Them .
Big preachers or little preachers , if they are pure, they can change a heart, Srila Gour kishore das babaji , could not write , was not a big preacher , but when  Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami heard him glorify Srimati Radharani , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta knew of his trancendentally pure position .
So best to value and respect big preachers and small , as Lord  Ramacandra did , anyone who contributed to building his bridge , even the spiders .
Righty Prabhupada is addressed as Jagad Guru word preacher .
Who had the intelligence and pure devotion of how to carry out world preaching and setting up an international society , none of his Godbrothers had those abilities or even the desire to become a world preacher, but as in the case of Srila Sridhar Swami and others , Prabhupada made them  bigger preachers because some of Prabhupada Godbrothers , and the whole of the param para have  become world famous, because of Prabhupada and his sincere followers preaching efforts.
Prabhupada understood Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta desires for world preaching and tried to fulfil them , look at the result of Srila Prabhupada following his Guru Maharajaas well as Rupa Ragganatha acaryas , and ultimately Mahaprabhu and Nityananda  .

The intelligentsia in real terms are never paid servants who submit to the foolish contrivance  of sophisticated animals who are like hogs , dogs camels and asses , such animalistic men and women having no understanding of consciousness  and they consider they have evolved from apes . Not only that but their vision of the world is a Darwinian one , the survival of the fittest , thus their political and exploitative outlooks fits this model , such are the times we are living in , where the intelligentsia are compromised and have failed us all , and are allowing the rascals and cheaters to go unchallenged

By Divinities arrangements, the so-called lower classes , who are not considered scholars or intellectual or even very well educated  , are wising up and its predicted in the Vedas such persons will teach the intelligentsia where they are going wrong and to do an about turn and take up the real path of the independent intelligentsia should be on , thats the Vedic way .

Maha Maya , Yoga Maya , two sides to the Supreme Goddess of fortune

No one can stand before God without the help and sanction of the Supreme Goddess of fortune , no one can stand before the  Supreme Goddess of fortune before stepping out Her shadow , the two forms of the Goddess are synonymous in  one sence  , but also  serve different purposes . Everything She does is a service  to assist in  helping reestablish lost relationships and having reconnected the lost souls , She brings them the spiritual experience of the full  beauty and majesty of Divinity . This is the  best of purposes of life and the  original intention of it ,  understanding the origins of loving exchanges and exchanging our  love with Divinity or Krishna and His associates.

How is this to be  achieved ?   by  testing the motives of the  sincere servant  , real love is always unconditional , increasing and unpredictable , part of the transition from selfish love , or lust to enjoy , is  facilitating  the exhaustive desires of an individual to become this sole illusory independent enjoyer .  In reality we are totally dependent on God and His energies , in our day time dream we are  surrounded by family and friends,  wealth and opulance and are always trying to  rid ourselves of supposed enemies, that disturb our Lordship plans  . Although in reality,  materiel life is so tuned to illusion that , friends can be the greatest enemies and enemies can be indirectly friends , serving to frustrate attempts of ” happiness ” ultimately Krishna says , ” I am your only friend ” 

Christians indirectly speak of  the devil’s alluring power , but  , doesn’t he , the  ” devil,” indirectly serve God?  and anyhow, just who is the Devil ?, an Irish jig, and song puts him down as being  whisky.

” Whisky, you’re the Devil the Devil I adore,” the lyrics go.

This philosophical question  is posed and answered in the Vedas ,   how the intriguing complexities of the illusory energy  work  in its granting free will followed by   determinism, driven by subtle laws .  Its  purposes and powers are  to throw and cover the particle of consciousness , a consciousness that has been connected to the ethereal , quantum, and classical planes of the physical nature . The spirit soul and their  journey’s are  spoken of  in the Srimad Bhagavatam in many different ways and circumstances.

One who is really inquisitive will easily have all questions answered., but one who is crooked and insincere will continue to be tricked by the other side of the Goddess of fortune ,  we must always remember God is all Good in all circumstances  at all times .

Technology Technology Technology.

One can wonder , how is it that technology has increased so rapidly in a relatively short space of time , if we consider Divinity is cause of all causes ,what are his purposes in this sudden advent of an industrial, technical and global world , we could see advantage but equally disadvantages , and there are many of them

What are the pros and cons of a technically driven world .

A.C .Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

And where is this technology = Why a dead man is dead man? Where is that technology? You know the technology… When a motorcar is stopped, you know the technology how to start it again. technology to start it again. You do not know real technology. Therefore it is failure.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.7.16

The door is open for everyone, but the lower class, except brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, they are not interested Technology. Technology means śūdra. Technology is not the business of a brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya or vaiśya. No. These are technology. They are meant for the śūdras.

End of commentary..

Interesting analysis and ,of course , spot on , generally those absorbed in technology are awash with sensual and physical demands, and such technology serves as a  stimulus for further entanglements.

It is said even on the lower planetary systems technology is extremely advanced , Space craft ,and the like , sometimes in the approx 115 trillion years history of the universe,  the lower entities  make plans to inhabit and influence the universal order , earth is said to be an influential stepping stone planet. So, in the Puranas,  the historic accounts,  demons make plans to take birth in influential places to increase their hold  on universal affairs. Krishna has to facilitate everything and everyone,  so understanding why things are the way they are is complex .

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur would say , whatever the case maybe,  use everything for expanding Spiritual consciousness , Thus He, his son Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati and his disciple Swami Prabhupada,   used technology in Krishna consciousness and Mahaprabhu has a plan , yhe fast informed technologies have been used , as well as a globalised world to fast spread Krishna consciousness around the globe and to every town and village,  so the spiritual persons fight fire with fire , the  technology has come into the hands of the divine and no doubt,  its the most effective method of communication.

Karl Marx said religion suppressed people &  thought he knew better . A  path to freedom from conformity and authority Karl thought was intellectually mentally and physically highly appropriate and would bring greater happiness. Is it appropriate, though , that a child leaves the authority of the loving parent, who has the widom and experience  to sufficiently nourish a child and who loves the child , obviously, conformity is the best course of action for the child . In bringing  children education and  development both for the teacher and parents, there is a balance to be struck between suppressing a child’s nature and insisting and imposing standards .

In reality,  Marx  sought to control people & bind them to his way of thinking . We  can ask ourselves what knowledge of life’s purposes did he have ? Before accepting any authority, we must know who their authority . AND if we find  their speculative mind has cobbled up a philosophy in life or a world or scientific view , why would we want to put our faith in such speculative subjectivity , every thing needs thoughtful consideration .  It’s important that the principal of knowledge decending rather than only ascending should be examined,  how do you know you know ? and how do you find out how you know you know ?

Generally, we find people are driven by their temporary material senses and minds and reliant on a limited faltering intelligence.

Like five  wild horses, the senses , including the mind, can drag one into unwanted directions , the reigns are the mind, and the driver should be the intelligence.

But an  intelligence is recommended in all theological sciences to be in contact with his eternal passenger, the Supersoul or the holy ghost , the super subjective , along with His representations,  who know Him well . The Vedas indicates contact within the super subjective realm should be sought and identified.

Today, globalists , politicians, and scientists control the people  and, in the name of freedom, bind the people in temporary illusions and  uncontrolled hankering because it suits a particular economic policy that suits the exploitative.  In reality, they, along with their enabelers, get the unthinking to follow the unintelligent.

The horses of everyone’s senses and minds  are completely out of control, and the world is becoming increasingly unstable with widespread suffering that is  getting worse.

We must seek the super subjective realm and bring sanity back to everyone’s lives   helping others do the same, we must all  seek out the real intelligentsia .

The whole of the Bhagavad Gita gives us clear indications of who they are .We must accept the rationale part of our consciousness, and except God has rationale, and thus, communication between Him and His parts and parcels is always  ongoing

A state of eternality  knowledge and bliss is  a  natural state of each part and parcel of consciousness , i.e., each living being . Theologically , the Vedas says , one can increase two aspects of those three qualities by association that  ultimately stems from Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama , Srimati Radharani is representative of the bliss potency and Lord Balarama the knowledge potency.

Without further associations of those who are in association with trancendendence , and are intimately connected to Srimati Radharani or  Lord Balarama and without voluntarily rendering loving services to such persons,  how could one  possibly increase one’s trade happiness , in bliss and knowledge . In our experience, learning and love go hand in hand . Ultimately, the varieties of transcendental paraphernalia and the regions where  they are exhibited , along with the highest excellences of playful and spontaneous exchanges of love can be understood by transcendental love and learning ,  in the association of pure Gaudia Vaisnavas . It is Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama who know the  Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna  , without connection to Them or Their devotees the  Tatasta sakti jiva or the marginal energies of Krishna,  or the spiritual spark of consciousness remains in the relatively lesser bliss of the spiritual Brahman  , otherwise known as a spiritual light , an impersonal spiritual realm . These sparks someone  wonder in the material worlds mistakingly thinking it will  increase  their knowledge and bliss .

Indeed ,within the material planes , sharing, caring, and appreciated one can increase one’s happiness and knowledge, to a degree  and its a fact that  Krishna makes progressive paths that can gradually connect to higher paths . But the ultimate arrangements are always on call , that  anyone at any time can  contact and connect with Krishna’s pure representatives who serve Him by reaching down  and rescuing lost souls , or  as Srila Sridhar Swami puts it ” relief work ” these persons are the intimate associates of Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama.

We see  many wonderful qualities in mankind , actually , we see wonderful qualities in the whole of the creation and here we refer to just one planet  look at the night sky  the mind boggles at the inconceivable nature of this one galaxy with its system of planets . This is one small part of the universe, and the Vedas confirms millions of universes  are in existence ,  as the  string theorists postulate.

What’s even more inconceivable is that each planet has a purpose and is inhabited , the Vedas tell us  , Lisa Randall, the Harvard of theoretical physics, quite rightly points out the obvious implications of  multidimensional space , our senses are limited to three dimensions . This means each of us has limited senses , and we see  things only in  three dimensions . She points out why there  could well  be more dimensions “out there” and also refers to dark space and dark energies as unknown energies.

The Vedas indicates God is full of multiple energies and how  He expands His energies in multitudes of ways. This includes His expansions of  internal energies, which are the conscious beings scattered within the material and spiritual planetary systems. The Vedas broadly categorise His internal,  marginal, and external energies and give explicit details to each .

So, as God is full of unlimited wonderful qualities , the living beings naturally reflect a minute portion of those qualities, as does everything in creation , He is a supreme scientist and engineer but also someone overflowing with love for all beings.

There is systematic supervisory management in place. The right type of action brings forth particular superior and inherent qualities of our control, and the wrong actions suppress the flow, causing entanglements . In the familiar language of many, one can say one’s good or bad karma . Freedoms  and progressions can be tapped into  at any time,  and in no time at all, one can resume all of one’s inherent  spiritual qualities that stem from and are reflected from Divinity.

The Bhagavad Gita tells us how in detail and prescribed methods are outlined.

http://www.thevedicspectator.com

The general principles of Varna Ashram

One of the main purposes of the Vedic Varna Ashram system was to , in simple terms , make sure the right persons with the right qualities were to do  the right occupation that would benefit all of the society , such is the natural beauty of and benefit of the social systems that naturally occur in mankind that Krishna has engineered .

The importance of identifying the correct person is imperitive,  if an electrical engineer were to tinker around with the neurons in your brain , or a plumber were to look into solving your bladder problems,  that would be absurd.

Similarly, the Vedic systems find it absolutely unacceptable that the business class , today’s globalists , with the help of supposed administrative classes the political classes,  who are  claiming to represent the interests of humanity , silence the intelligentsia in the form of independent scholars with no particular political affiliations .

The business classes that run the  media platforms and TV channels choose guests who think like they do and avoid airing the veiws of  the independent intelligensia. The journalists are all paid servants of the Globalists’ opinions  , this is all too clear. Thus, where can a truth be found  one might ask oneself ?

Scholars in various fields are  silenced  , and the Brahminical class, who are also  self realised theologians and scholarly philosophers , can very easily see through the plans of the persons who like to live and promote sophisticated animalism

Out of control business persons,  with  great dreams and assumptions of  creating global wealth and good fortune for the world are simply based on misrepresented and hyped up trickle down economics , which in reality turn out , the way the world looks right now .

The Vedic cultures looked entirely different, with the emphasis on localised economics and national economics. This was based on the development of smaller economies, but working in synthesises,  thus creating a network for the benefit and interactions of everyone.  The administrative political class would see that everyone had fair dealing ,  compliance, and governance, which was strict in order  to avoid the risks of imbalance and encroachments,  but a balance of free market economics was also kept  in place .

Currently ,  the  out of balance world , is legislated as such , that light touch means , crooks and cheating is common place in the stock , commodities and currency markets,  extremely rich people take advantage get even richer ,and using their ill gotten gains unwisely,  creating further disruption in the world.

The Vedic systems are predicted to return into society and a  re-education, and a new awareness will develop. People will wise up, and the real intelligentsia will return to stabalise and put society straight.
