Krishna is non envious and He gives the living beings what they decide they want , but everything is adjusted and legislated within the boundaries of a pre made responsive universe . Universal laws do not need repealing , although during the cyclic cycles of universal affairs, differences in laws can apply . Krishna is supremely independent and self-satisfied and never interacts or is affected by the laws of the material universes . Sometimes, the king or prime minister may visit the prison , but he is not subject to the laws that the prisoners are compelled to uphold. Krishna is always happily exchanging in loving exchanges with those who wish to associate with Him , and anyone can , and should . Such exchanges of love take the living beings from this temporary ,unsure, and limited plane of existence and place them within a spiritual plane where soul on soul relationships occur. Material elements and compounds, along with conditioned subtle minds , are left far behind . The living beings are ultimately responsible for the material world , its by their own choices they are within it , and they also self incriminate themselves by their own actions . Some of them , in their suffering, wave their fists at angrily at God .
God has no friends or enemies by material standards , He treats everyone equally with this material universe and with a certain degree of detachment , as the living beings choose independence from Him . If , however, anyone wants God as a friend, He immediately becomes their best friend . Actually He is always their best friend and well wisher , some know it , and how He is so , and others don’t.
Krishna, in His lila aspects, is known as Dhiroddhata, He exhibits qualities that may outwardly resemble envy, pride, restlessness, and anger.
However, this refers to when He kills demons or suppresses those that cause suffering to others , any contact with the absolute all good personality of Godhead is all good , if the demons are killed by Krishna in His Dhiroddhata form, they become liberated from the material world and attain liberalisations of various kinds . Some impersonal , and some personal according to circumstances . Once, a witch came to kill baby Krishna . The witch was dressed as a friend of Krishna’s mother , so she was passed Krishna to hold and nurse , this disguised witch offered baby Krishna her breastmilk , but her breast was smeared with poison . Krishna sucked her breast and also sucked out her life . Krishna kindly accepted the witch as His mother , out of Krishna’s kindness , she became a nursemaid in the eternal spiritual realms and lives in bliss . Any approach to God is absolutely beneficial . Such is His absolute nature , bad becomes good .
So, the living beings , if they choose to wonder in the material world , can do so . Krishna cares for them and instructs them in the responsibilities of independent actions and warns them not to do harm to others , He does this directly or indirectly through His devotees .
Krishna being non envious always remains their distant of close by well wisher . Its always our call .
In the Bhagavad Gita, “Mudha” (Sanskrit: मूढ) translates to foolish, deluded, ignorant, or bewildered. It is used to describe individuals who are blinded by material illusions, fail to recognize the divine truth, and remain trapped in the cycle of worldly suffering.
The Mudha , and currently the world is full of them , invest their time and energies working hard like an ass , accruing much more than they need , this gives them a life full of anxiety whilst they do so , and also later in their lives , more anxiety when they worry about their investments . Whilst accruing their wealth they become implicated in all sorts of karmic reactions , stocks , shares and investments have been built up on the exploitative entrepreneurs who cause suffering to others ,there is much violence and wars , financial and property markets are also based on greed and cheating with fixed markets favouring a few at the cost of overwhelming majority .The mudha , instead of investing his consciousness in purity and understanding Divinity , are forever absorbed in temporary illusions and mental pleasures that have underlying fears . Bhagavad Gita tells all . Don’t be an ass but develop permanent assets.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna clearly addresses this exact condition. He identifies people who suffer from overwork, stress, and anxiety to fulfil basic material needs as mūḍha (often translated as “fools” or “asses”). The Gita offers a direct remedy for breaking this cycle: practising Nishkama Karma (action without attachment to the results) and directed for the pleasure of Krishna , the Bhagavad Gita brings us different yoga systems so a foolishly attached worker can learn to be wise and renounced, renounced means bringing all results of work solely for the pleasure of Krishna , such actions will bring spiritual knowledge that enables the practitioner to enter the spiritual realms and the activities thereof .
Why You Feel Like a Mūḍha (The Ass Analogy)
In the Gita, Krishna likens the thoughtless or spiritually unguided worker to a donkey. A donkey carries heavy loads all day long for a meagre handful of grass, not realizing that the grass is easily available elsewhere. Similarly, human beings often exhaust their precious time, intelligence, and peace of mind labouring constantly for fleeting material rewards while ignoring their own deeper spiritual and mental well-being. Anxiety sets in because your happiness becomes entirely dependent on outcomes you can not fully control , and that will be inevitably all taken away at death . No family members can help you , your so-called family member often are happy to gain all your assets at death , and you enter into the body of a hog , dog ,camel, or yes indeed ass .
The solution is always theologically based sciences.
The total material energies are described within the Vedas. The material energies known as Mahat-tattva are made up of millions of universes , but these regions are thought to be only 25% of the totality of Krishna’s vast existence . These material worlds are places where repeated birth and death take place , and where the responsive universe is responding to unlimited karmic synchronicities. The living beings in all realities face miseries of the mind , miseries other living beings inflict upon them, and miseries that material nature can bring , i.e., its limitations and unexpected conditions.
Of course, these three can also bring contentment and pleasure , but the dualistic nature means conditions can turn in an opposite direction . There is no doubt life is a struggle , and time has to be invested to avoid difficulties . The question one should pose is, “Why am I subjected to these difficulties along with death, old age, and disease ?” The solutions taken up by the Darwinians and those who follow scientific materialism are blowing on the boil , superficial adjustments , that’s not the responsible way of dealing with a deep seated problem. However , the solutions are offered within the Vedas and theological cultures, and it is to lance the boil . Medical treatment requires an expert physician, so we should treat our problems and maladies correctly . Those who suffer in ignorance have different solutions to problems than those suffering in knowledge , those who have understood the real heart of a problem will select the solution. Scientific materialism brings someone to a faulty conclusion that suffering is overcome by increasing sense gratification in every possible way . Even morality, family traditions, and decency can be and is discarded . Woke and libertine new age cultures teach no real psychology or make persons aware of the inner psychological impacts of libertine lifestyles . Although the clear evidence shows liberine cultures are failing cultures , miseries increasing, prescribed medication for depression increasing , suicide increasing, family break ups increasing , anxiety in teenagers and the young increasing, wars and conflicts amongst communities increasing, the list goes on .
Solutions to deep seated difficulties are solved by theologically based sciences , sciences based on dualism, understanding the workings of mind , matter, and consciousness, as well as recommendations for sacrifice and atonement. Cultivation of dualism and philisophical knowledge is the way to be free from every difficulty . Cultivated subjective speculations that are presenting themselves as objective and educational knowledge that is touted by speculative fellows who have blindly accepted other blind fellows will be no good to anyone . As Richard Feynman said, you could have a high education, filling oneself with book after book and phds , but could still be a complete idiot ,who has done nothing more than follows other idiots . Teachers are valuable if they teach objective knowledge , less so if they present ideas and speculations as fact based knowledge. Everything in all matters of finding solutions to every problem is discussed in the Vedas . Every discipline is covered .
Divinity has carefully chalked out solutions and progressive systematic paths for everyone, whoever they are . Just as a prison governor offers rehabilitation programmes to all the differing prisoners. The Lord offers immediate and gradual solutions, and gaining wisdom is essential . Knowledge enables one to overcome all types of darkness . The Vedic Brahminical Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas are perfectly equipped to bring immediate relief to anyone’s situation , and any individual can receive the benefit.
The great mystery of Lord Krishna playing on His flute on a full moon night attracting the Gopies to the Rasa dance is explained by Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur . Krishna is “Atmarama “, never in want and fully self satisfied , He has a fully blissful life , yet He desires to increase His blissful life and exchange His bliss and loving feelings with His intimate devotees . This is , of course , how love works. Healthy relationships are not business arrangements but selfless giving exchanges of love . The culminating ecstacy of love is perfected in having relationships with the supreme absolute truth . Krishna is the very origins of selfless love ,and along with Srimati Radharani , they exhibit the highest of the highest spiritual loving affairs . Its here that we find the object of love and the abode of love meeting in union and separation and increasingly so , this causes the unlimited ocean of transcendental bliss to churn with ever increasing waves rising higher and higher climbing inconceivably and then falling , only to start again.
A great and important philosophical question posed by Vrajanatha in Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s Jiva Dharma, the occupation of the soul .
We are manifest from Lord Balarama, the first expansion of Krishna, and because the soul is part of Him , and Krishna always been , so have we . Srila Jiva Goswami says in his Tattva Sandarbha that Krishna makes the impossible , inconceivably, and simultaneously oneness and differences. Within Krishna are unlimited expansions , and unlimited capacity , thus the simultaneous one and difference of the living beings and God can be looked at in this way . Jiva Goswami also says that Krishna makes the impossible possible by manifesting totally separate entities , each with free will .
We also have to understand the expression , “ time immemorial ,” it’s meaning , we can not fathom its beginnings .
When Balarama brings forth the ” dormant ” Jivas , it is because He wants to increase Krishna’s pleasure. We are not dead stones or downloads of Balarama , but we have free will, and we can choose and learn to love . To love and give pleasure is inherant within us , Krishna is the most attractive thus the attraction for Krishna is there within all beings , when it’s not realised the living beings become attracted to Krishna’s external potency . The more we use our free will for its intended purpose , the more freedom we can experience , spiritually and even materially . Selfish actions and mentality restrict our inherant potential . On our being “manifest ” ,although we are eternally part of Krishna , just as a good father tells us how to properly conduct life for our greatest benefits , similarly Balarama , our original father , does the same . Most living beings spontaneously feel deep attraction for the spiritual realm . Guidance and examples of pure love in numerous ways are found in other souls, and Balarama is the originator as well as Srimati Radharani . Balarama , by His example, brings freedom of expression , love , and spontaneous attraction to Krishna and the spiritual kingdoms. Spontaneously , the living beings reveal their individual consciousness by their own attractions . Love is always voluntary and can never be forced , but needs learning at times both within the spiritual marginal realms and material realms. The complete and full existence of Divinity is only ever understood by unadulterated pure love . Indeed , Sanatana Goswami has shown in his literatures in the pastime of Gopa Kumar , that when Gopa finally returned to a spiritual world , the Lord was waiting and embraced him saying “ Where have you been I have missed you and have been waiting ?” Such is the Love of the Supreme Father of all Krishna , who never forgets his wayward sons and daughters and remains with them as the supersoul , another expansion of Lord Balarama. Lord Balarama is the original Guru and Sri Guru is a manifested form of Lord Balarama.
It’s indicted , by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , the jiva enters a tatasta state , when manifested from Balarama , the Jiva choice come from there , spiritual or material or an undecided impersonal position. The impersonal Brahman energies have been referred to as the tatasta by Srila BR Sridhar Swami , its the origins of those Jivas who are not so originally inclined to share their consciousness in loving exchanges with Divinity . They remain in an impersonal bliss , but for want of activity and relationships , they eventually come to the material planes . Ultimately , the material energies refine their activity, and they learn to love and learn that Krishna or God is “Rasaraja” the king of the exchanges of love . It’s this relationship with God that the inner desires of every soul are hankering for . This leaving the impersonal spiritual light, and the entering of material activities begins by a ” kind of transporational ” glance from Maha Sankarsana. From Mula Sankarsana, the spiritual beings have directly entered the spiritual plane . The living being from Maha Sankarsana enter into Mahavisnu , inside His trancendental form are countless trillions of universes , like dust particles floating in the air .
Originally from Maha Sankarsana, the jiva , revealing their inner state of consciousness and desire , is connected either to Maha maya or Yoga maya , i.e., the spiritual or material energies . This is in accordance with their free spirit. They move naturally towards one or the other , and the tatasta Brahman regions are the place where free will is exhibited. It appears our consciousness , having this free spirit , connected itself to Maha maya , we are in the material universes. Balarama , being our father , and in that sense Balarama and Krishna are one , so , Balarama detected our desire for independence , and independence was not directed towards pure devotional desires and attractions for Krishna . Desire for relationships is something also inherant , so facilities that are outside of the spiritual kingdoms are the business of the material energies . Relationships are temporarily situated and somewhat unfulfilled within matter . It’s a sureal existence without Krishna . However, the living beings , who could not feel spontaneous attraction for the spiritual realms , and having remained in a brahman impersonal energy for some time , take to the alternative surreal material world. ” Spirits in the material world,” as Madonna once sang . Arrangements are made because Krishna and His first expansion Balarama are all-knowing . Automatically through the ethereal and spiritual planes and within the multidimensional unlimited space time arrangements , the living beings arrive in matter . Initially, with relatively exalted consciousness . Mahamaya or Durga Devi has the task of providing an illusion of artificial lordship and sensual pleasures , and thus tempting and inspiring the individual to enjoy a separate existence from God , and further and further entanglements begin .
Some people say God knows everything , but does He know when you will turn in Love towards Him , and how you will love Him and the intensity ?
In conditioned consciousness , one is firmly in His energy . As the high court judge knows the destination of the criminal , so a harmful soul is under Gods grips , with predicable consequences , but not a pure soul . He has his full freedom and is unpredictable in love . Love in real spiritual terms is every increasing , and unpredictable . Unlimited exchanges take place with the master of love Krishna , soul to soul in spiritual bodies , in full spiritual varigatedness. It is Balarama, the great servant , brother, and friend of Krishna that makes all arrangements for His pleasure . When living being is finished with his or her material wondering , they return either under the care of Srimati Radharani or Lord Balarama.
As stated and rightly so . by many devotees statements , Srila Prabhupada is the Siksa Guru of all the members of ISKCON and those who have absolute faith in him , whether so called inside or outside of ISKCON . The founder Acarya of ISKCON is an empowered pure devotee of Krishna , and I often say to those who misunderstand param para , that if they think Prabhupada did not have the potency to make Gurus of all kinds to continue on the param para succession, more fool them .
Importantly, Srila Prabhupada is giving us access to the predominant teachers of Gaudia Vaisnavism, those “significant ” acaryas , although of course all devotees are significant, stemming from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu through the Goswami’s , who Mahāprabhu personally taught . Srila Prabhupada is the transparent medium who can show us the methods by which their connections , by Siksa and Sastra sanga, can be made . By Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and services to him, connections can be made, and the param para acaryas teachings can be fully understood . The connections between the many peripherals within the Vedas and all the cor teachings of the Vedas , particularly the essence of Gaudia Vaisnavism , as taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu through his conversion with Ramananda Roy , are laid out by our param para . In recent times, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has clarified everything and as well as the processes and qualifications to find perfection. This was his prescriptions, particularly for worldwide preaching . Srila Prabhupada has outlined everything and made all the connections perfectly between all our acaryas and their teachings.
So , perhaps an emphasis on Srila Prabhupada’s abilities to correctly guide us to our param para acaryas and their teachings , which he has clearly laid out in his writings , from beginnings to their perfection in pure spontaneous love , which he always personally explained should be understood in full .
In Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s commentary to Srila Ragganatha das Goswami’s Manah Siksa .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has said we should regard the Goswami’s of Vrndavana who Mahāprabhu taught as our own personal Siksa Gurus.
The essential mission of ISKCON , which Srila Prabhupada has so experrtly taken up , because he Himself is Mahāprabhu’s and Nityananda prabhu’s associate , stems from Their other associates Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj . Especially the broad teachings of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , who brought us insights to Devi Varna Ashram that Prabhupada has introduced , we are in the Bhaktivinod parivag .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur brought the Vedic world to the Western world through his broad visions of an all encompasing Vedas . The peripherals and cor can and do join together as progressive and individually meant meaningful paths . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s son , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami started the wide broadcast of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s teachings within India , he desired them also to be spread world wide , as his father wanted , this was a prediction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu . So it was the Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja’s disciple Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami arrived in USA and founded ISKCON 60 years ago , Prabhupada’s personal pure Krishna consciousness was on full display and his enthusiasm to carry out Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu desire . The order of his spiritual master had begun , ISKCON is a most powerful preaching movement that is ever increasing and Krishna has most definitely sent many special souls to assist ISKCON and continues to do so , Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s vision is taking shape , and its just beginning in one sense.
So any how , its important to make these trancendental connections in my opinion because the whole of our Gaudia Vaisnavas param para have been opened up so expertly by Srila Prabhupada . Through his teachings, by serving his mission , and by humbly cooperating with others that try to assist the mission of Prabhupada , then by grace , all of our param para acaryas insights within their Smiti’s and their trancendental unlimited connections to the spiritual realms may decend upon us , and some trancendental understanding may develop.
In the Western world and in most parts of the world, including India, access in real terms to the Gaudia Vaisnava param para and their services begins and has began through Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada , who has clearly explained all , not exclusively because there are many great Gaudia Vaisnavas , but Srila Prabhupada has made the whole world chant Hare Krishna by his ISKCON society
“While pantheism asserts that “all is God, “panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe. Some versions of panentheism suggest that the universe is nothing more than the manifestation of God , this way of thinking is popular with impersonal philosophically minded people, including Albert Einstein, who thought in that way , as do many scientific community members . In addition to this thinking , other philosophically minded persons have indicated that the universe is contained within God , but that God is outside as well .
Let’s see what the Vedas say.
The very first verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam gives us the full understanding of Divinity. He has unlimited expansions , and is directly and indirectly conscious of every aspect of creation , He is indeed inside, outside, near but far , the smallest but the greatest . He is everywhere but nowhere. Such is His trancendental form which has no limits imposed upon it , God does not need to learn anything, He is the origins and the totality of all knowledge, not a blade of grass moves without Him knowing. In quantum physics, it’s called instant communication .
His descent to the material realms are described in the Vedas. A complete list of the different types of Avatars and incarnations are referred to as well as their individual purposes . It is stated that as many waves there are in the oceans , there are the same quantities of incarnations in one form or another of Divinity… and more . There are millions of material universes. Thus, incarnations can be understood in the context of how many universes exist . There are also multidimensional aspects , we can not with our limited senses see all things .
But as a summary and a general understanding, the first verse of the Bhagavatam offers us this.
O my Lord, Śrī 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.
The universal Vedic veiw , a universe and beyond.
Modern scientific thinkers , namely those following scientific materialism in all its forms , assume the universe three dimensional . However, the Vedas brings us to the realisations of the multidimensional universe , one of the unlimited universes that make up approximately one forth of the totality of existence , spiritual and material . Many contemporary physicists , including the Harvard Prof . Lisa Randall also very often think along Vedic lines . We can say universes within universes within universes . Each universe , according to the Vedas, has a different engineer called Bramha , each of these Bramhas’ have different capacities according to the size of the universe they are overseeing . So, measurements of Vedic universes incorporate aspects that limited conditioned senses can not detect . Certainly , there are red shift anomalies within the calculations in modern cosmological calculations , Dr Richard Thompson, (Sadaputa das) mentions this in his book on Vedic cosmology . Are the stars so far away ? on one level, maybe on another level , maybe not .
For instance, Vedic cosmological calculations describe features of dimensional space only eight hundred miles above this planet earth . The Upadeva planets are present, and they exist within their own particular dimension . We can not see this region , but its influences are felt by some, and its further influences are enacted that have repercussions on our planet . In regards to the senses and the differences , even on this earth, we can examine them. Can you hear a dog whistle ? or have the vision of a cat , the detail they see in the dark ? can you hear the low pitch of a whales call ? They can hear each other from up to 1000 miles away within the oceans . Mystics and yogis in the past , the Vedas indicates , frequently communed and commuted to these realms within the ethereal planes . Not so much now, though , due to rampant materialism and inpure consciousness , but still , a very few can still do so . In some parts of the Vedas , the localised universe is described as 4.5 billion miles , but that should be understood in context to the greater universal picture.
The greatly renowned Vedic cosmological scholar in Gaudiya Vaisnavism says this ..
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakura, recognized as a master of both Siddhantic Vedic astronomy and Puranic literature, provided specific measurements regarding the size of the universe based on classical Vedic texts . He maintained that the universe is vast, egg-shaped (brahmanda), and, while immense, is only one of innumerable universes in the material creation.
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura quotes ancient Vedic texts like the Siddhānta-śiromaṇi to describe the mind-boggling scale of a single universe . He explains that a single universe measures roughly 149 quadrillion miles in circumference. This vast size includes the core planetary systems, which span 4 .5 billion miles in diameter, they are surrounded by seven massive elemental layers. These layers could be thought of as the store houses of the atomic realms that facilitate the many possibilities of the expanding universe. Expanding by the desires and constant activity of the living beings . The responsive universes are fulfilling and arranging the individual and collective karmic synchronicities of each soul . As soon as the living beings are injected into the universe by Maha Visnu , the universe, along with its activities and varieties of designated time periods for each living being , begins further and further expansions . Each successive layer of the universe (consisting of water, fire, air, ether, etc.) expands in multiples of each other . The material universe indeed encompasses immense distance trillions upon trillions of miles and beyond . Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura used these descriptions to highlight the inconceivable, gigantic scale of material creation and its multidimensional features which are relative to the eternal spiritual world . Each one of the higher Vaikuntha planets can easily contain all these material universes . The main spiritual abode , Goloka Vrndavana, the centre of spiritual existence , can contain all the Vaikuntha planets .The mystery of the Goloka Vrndavana planet is that it appears as a village 17 miles in diameter . However, the whole of existence is within this seventeen miles . Thus, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja is shining a light on multidimensional space . The Vedas also says within one atom , Lord Visnu is fully present along with His complete existence. When it comes to ” spiritual physics,” or math , we can not limit ourselves to the working of matter within the laws of three-dimensional space or time , or regulation math ,1+1 =1 and 1-1=1 1÷1=1 are spiritual math calculations . Marie Currie, the Nobel prize winner for her studies of radiation , took time to study telepathy and knew of its significance. Niels Bohr and Schrödinger , as well as Einstein and Richard Feynman, could easily comprehend and accept the endless and inescapable possibilities and understandings of multidimensionalism and its very realistic existence .The third and fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam highlights some of these cosmological affairs , Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami has published the Bhagavatam, its available in all languages throughout the world.
How Divinity is situated
The understanding is that Divinity is everywhere, but nowhere He is inside and outside. How can this be ? It’s due to His specific relationships . Although He is everywhere and neutral , same time , He specifically reveals Himself in His fullness to His specific devotees in different circumstances , this is according to how the devotees relate with Him . He says in the Bhagavad Gita, “As you do, my worship and think of me , I think of you and commune with you “. . Or “as you relate to me , so I relate to you “. In the highest of spiritual circles , Divinity or Krishna exhibits his most complete form , the sweetness of Divinity is understood through love for Him . Love and understanding is important everywhere. The most mature spiritual thinkers take their trancendental position , behind the prominent eternal devotees who reside in Vrndavana . We can not possibly stand before Dhira Lalita Krishna , says Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , ” we would burn up,” so intense is the pure love and spiritual rasa , so stand behind his intimate friends, family or lovers .
Actually, even in this material world, there are some incredible personalities , and even they are somewhat unfathomable . What to speak of Radha Krishna Nitya Lila and the spiritual kingdoms.
The Goswamis ‘of Vrndavana and their writings gives us an insight into these spiritual realms, and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, in his purports of the book of Ragganathha das Goswamis called ” Mana Siksa ” says we should regard the Goswamis as our own personal Siksa Gurus.
The Priest’s of Lord Jagganath may or may not understand
The most important messages of the Rathayatra festival are many fold . The very deep internal reasons , those that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda prabhu have revealed to Srila Rupa Goswami , Srila Sanantan Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das plus Srila Jiva Goswami amongst others , and that have been well understood by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who has established the Rathayatra festival all over the world . These truths are well understood by mature Gaudia Vaisnava devotees . The external reasons also equally as important, for instance , participating in the festival by pulling the rope of the Rath , is accepted as signifying one is beginning to pull Lord Krishna deep or deeper into ones heart . Bringing an offering of devotional service to Krishna of any kind is acceptable by Lord Jagganath, who comes out of His temple on to the streets , searching after His lost servants. Everyone can get the benefit of serving and seeing the Lord on the day of Rathayatra , some persons are forbidden to enter the temple ordinarily. Further celebrations and meanings and meditations of The Rathayatra are calculated by Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas as the internal reasoning of the Lord in Mathura wanting to return to Vrndavana . As Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati says , in his Caitanya Caratamrita comment , Lord KRISHNA again wanted to taste the parakiya rasa of the Gopies of Vraja . So He leaves Mathura to go to Vrndavana, the gardens at Gondicha remind him of Vrndavana, and the Puri Temple is like Mathura . Ultimately , we know , on another level, that also the Rathayatra festival represents Mahaprabhu understanding the inner sentiments of Srimati Radharani, He is relishing Srimati Radharani’s moods of unparalleled love , this He revealed during Rathayatra by quoting out allowed a particular verse , that Srila Rupa Goswami deeply understood . Sri Mahaprabhu is not only relishing the moods of Srimati Radharani love , but in doing so , He is distributing this nectar of love of God to one and all . Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON movement is directly revealing and distributing the understanding of these same truths at all the world’s Rathayatra festivals and Prabhupada is giving the most fallen persons a chance to pull the ropes of the Rath and begin to pull Krishna into their lives , and as well importantly to witness and hear the chanting of Hare Krishna by the devotees brought to them by Krishna’s pure devotee Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The mood of intense separation as well as a prospective union of Srimati Radharani at Kurukshetra with Krishna is represented at the Rathayatra as well . At this meeting , Srimati Radharani invites Lord Krishna to ” return ” with Her to Vrndavana . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur says this lila is displaying Srimati Radharani at Her most desperate moments . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur desired to reside in Kurukshetra because the greatest service can be offered to someone when they are most needy …He as Kamala Manjari wanted to assist Srimati Radharani in these desperate times where she was so close again to Krishna, yet so far from Vrndavana. So , Srila Prabhupada following in Mahaprabhu’s and Nityananda mood is distributing this Parakiya rasa as well as how to understand Vrndavana life to everyone worldwide , along with the full glories of Vrndavanas inhabitants , and that is transcendentally inconceivable in itself how Prabhupada has done this .
The Babajis and traditional Brahminical men of India are due every respect, but they do not understand the preaching mood of Prabhupada or Nityananda…sometimes they complain that Rathayatra should be only on one occasion and only in Puri . ISKCON should not extend it worldwide . That’s OK….we are not all extensively preaching… Each to their own ….and we respect their sentiments. But we respectfully disagree because the Vaiṣṇavas in pure consciousness realise the deep meanings to Sastra’s applications . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu is bringing a new dawn to the Vedic application, and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has revealed everything , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj has instructed Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to extensively preach world wide . The Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta are forever expanding they demonstrate the eternal dynamic nature of trancendental bliss. Such is the power and purity of Mahaprabhu’s devotees who can expand the bliss
Religion is an aftermath….of life’s arrival…says Dawkins and Cronin . They assume themselves as authorities of knowledge , and as leaders of scientific communities they also feel its their responsibility to educate and enlighten the world in their realisations of their ” truths ” of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis . When examined effectively and using objective sciences, it becomes apparent that everything they present is guessing and cobbled together with speculations from its beginnings to its current state . When real objective scientific intelligensia push them harder on these matters, they admit and submit … they just don’t know for sure of anything that they present is fact .
Dawkins and Cronin have been taught since childhood and throughout their educational experiences by teachers and other PHD profs . Who were they ? They are also speculative thinkers who have themselves dishonesty presented guessing as facts that they themselves were taught . Darwinians become neo Darwinians, same business, dressed up differently, the underlying current is the same . In that sense, we have a chain of dishonesty , and each generation is the link in the chain . Walk into the natural history museum in London. What’s the first thing endless school children see on pre-arranged school tours ? Apes turning into men . Indoctrination from childhood , pictures in early history books of apes turning into men are widely distributed. The Miller Urey experiments are highly regarded and promoted as progressive biological research and indications of our origines in a primordial sludge .The natural history museums architectural structure suspiciously looks like a church in its construction . Cheating on all levels, even psychological levels.
Scientific dualism that consciousness mind along with matter are completely different energies is a self-evident truth , in anyone’s book , everyone one feels it ,it can not be denied . Only those deliberately keeping themselves in the darkness of speculations try to do so . Of course , Darkins has to get around the obvious somehow , so he tells his students to “Ignore what appears as design in the world, close your eyes and intelligence to it , or else you can’t be a true scientist ” Consciousness in objective terms is experienced as a phenomenon different from matter , and thus, it needs examining . We are the same person in our changing body ,our fluctuating mind , and our fallible and somewhat fading intelligence , especially in old age . 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 the various deterministic outcomes .
Both the atheistic and theistic need satisfying . Educational experiences for every wondering particle of consciousness , who find themselves enclosed in matter , and having to deal with all the consequences that brings , need catering for . If Divinity did not do so , free will and determinism would not function. The material world is made as such that truth can be presented as untruths , and untruths can be accepted as truth . A clever arrangement on all levels is occurring with degrees of a mix of freedoms, entanglements, and liberations of various kinds is taking place . Everyone can satisfy themselves somehow, at least superficially, but ones underlying consciousness remains , and unless absolute truth is arrived at , persons will remain unfulfilled. In reality, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever 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 could have taken place by chance arrangement within a primordial soup . It’s all propaganda of the highest order that carries no evidence whatsoever. All evidence , in sciences, points to dualism , and intelligent arrangement , what is seen in real terms is perfect math , symmetry, and design. When a consciousness particle enters matter, injected from the male within the female, information systems accompany it . Matter and consciousness are two different substances , first consciousness comes , and only then informational systems that organise and structure matter . Superior engineering from beginning to end of the machine like body points logically to an engineer , but an 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 the truely unthinking . Best to study objective sciences oneself and bypass subjective guessing that claims to be objective science..
How to know who is who in religious circles..?
Prof Albert Einstein said that religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.
If we find violence and hatred and fanaticism …this means the theologians and their religious representatives are clueless and not representing God , quite the opposite. Actually the truth is theological cultures of every kind have the systematic processes of gradual development of knowledge , everyone takes things at a different pace , according to their previous attachments and impressions. mind. In all religions, there are first class, second class, and third class followers. If anything is presented fanatically with hatred and intolerance, it’s because it’s being presented by third class unthinking followers…who have little realisation of God . One should seek first class followers who understand God consciousness and the sciences behind not only creation but also psychological conditioning due to attachments to the material world which bring the varied plights of the conditioned souls . The mature spiritual teacher can give a particular path suitable for a particular state of consciousness, and thus gradually free them from their lower speculative and karmic tendencies. Practical applications within theological cultures are well understood by the first class representatives . Heaven and Hell preaching is a sign of a third class devotee. In any religion, first class representatives should be sought , and every scripture will tell us clearly their symptoms .common sense is required . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Unless 100% pure, everything in chemistry falls apart ..
The cell is covered by carbohydrates or sugars , they have practically incalculable amounts of hooking combinations that bring them together . It’s hard, hard chemistry to work out or manufacture from scratch. Says Prof James Tour, a leading synthetic chemist. When evolutionary scientists try to ” fiddle ” around to create life from chemicals , they always buy the already made carbohydrates , produced by nature , because of the complexity of the millions of ways sugar molecules hook together . Information and perfect chemistry originates from nature , and it’s not possible to replicate from scratch , the question we should ask ourselves ” whose nature “
“”Carbohydrates, in the form of glycans (sugar molecules), cover every cell surface and can hook together in millions of different ways . This vast diversity in structure creates a unique “sugar code” known as the glycome, which is crucial for various biological functions, including cell-to-cell communication, immune responses, and identifying self from non-self . The way these monosaccharide units (simple sugars) are linked and the branching patterns they form allows for a tremendous amount of structural complexity “
Life comes from life , consciousness is life , and consciousness directs the material energies, bringing informational processes , nothing is occurring or happening randomly. Molecules certainly don’t move towards life , only when consciousness is present do molecules move , when the father injects the seed of life and it enters the egg thing get moving . In plant life similarly but differently . When a person dies, everything stops moving , including the chemistry . Everything breaks down and fades away . The chemistry or the building blocks to life have never been understood completely from scratch by scientists . They buy the initial building blocks already made by nature from a chemistry store . When attempting to artificially create molecules and get them ” moving ” , It ends in failure , because of impurities in their proccess , they have achieved 5% purity in attempting to manufacture an rna molecule , but unless its 100% pure the chemistry falls apart ..Krishna and His nature makes everything 100% pure every time , some chemist , the Supreme Chemist. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Svarūpa means form , look around us everything has form , nothing with consciousness origins is formless . Consciousness means there must be a form , although within the Bramhajyoti , the spiritual impersonal light , is a place where the ” deep sleep ” of a spiritual formless existence can be lived out . However, the Vedas indicates that after some time in the spiritual formless spiritual light , the consciousness feels instinctively a need to express itself individually and in relationships with others , the real nature of absolute truth . Relationships we know cause an exchange of love and give happiness . Exploitative impure relationships within the material world are perverse reflections of the essence of spiritual forms that are exhibited spiritually in the spiritual kingdoms , wherein the full spiritual varigatedness of unmotivated pure love is found . Spiritual relationships centred on unmotivated love are eternally manifested in eternal forms .There , atoms , elements, and compounds are absent . Material relationships are based on differing degrees of self-centred consciousness , and this consciousness is the cause of repeated karmic synchronicities within the wide variety of material forms on offer by the responsive universe.
Divinity is known throughout the universes for His many different appearances. Krishna has His trancendental energies, and through His Svarūpa Sakti, He manifests unlimited forms from His original form . Time, place, and circumstance and particular circumstances are the causes of these blissful and purposeful forms to appear . Time immemorial is an important word in spiritual calculations when it comes to the Lord’s manifested material universes or His multiple appearances within them , its impossible to calculate. We also manifest different forms and moods . We have been a baby , a toddler , a boy or girl , a youth , middle-aged , approaching old age , old age . Each is a different form , and then at death, the whole cycle starts all over again . Again, for some within different species , within the bodily forms of 8,400,000 species , each of which has their individual version of a particular body . In its own way , this reflects the Lords original Svarūpa Sakti, which manifests His eternally situated spiritual forms . Srila Jiva Goswami , in his Bhagavat Sandarbha, brings many details to this aspect of Krishna and His unlimited existence
The perfection and goal of spiritual life is to regain or acquire our originally intended purposeful life , called Siddha Svarupa , we aquire our spiritual form and we enter into Krishna’s family group , or become one of His friends or as an assistant or a friend of His lovers . Srimati Radharani who brings the mellows of Parakiya rasa for the pleasure of Krishna is head of the Parakiya lovers .
So form and beaulty and personality is the inherant nature of consciousness , impersonal realised knowledge is a step , and a step one can not really be permanently situated on http://www.thevedicspectator.com
