In Kali yuga the process of chanting God’s names brings one to the stages of perfect Vedic Dharma and beyond . One’s characteristics become sublime and one’s intelligence is sharpened, the self-evident truth of the equality of all living beings before Divinity become apparent and trancendance and the spiritual realms open up .If one chants in the right spirit very soon, the goal is reached .Never mind what you are of who you are , everyone can quickly and easily perfect their lives by linking themselves to the purification program via the Gaudiya Vaisnavas and the param para acaryas. Lord Rama had monkey warriors, and they defeated the universal demon Ravana , who wanted to build a staircase to heaven so God could be bypassed ..

Vedic cultures are not headed up by libertine democracies,  rather by  the spiritually autocratic who have open caring hearts and listening ears and who respond to the needs of all persons,  Lord Rama set the example by listening and responding to a washer women .

The centralising libertine modern so-called democracies listen to no-one except their conglomerate pay masters , thus look at the world situation,  do you see peace , equality and freedom , or suppression and a lack of objective knowledge,  knowledge that has been eroded and replaced with subjective speculations and self seeking on every front.

The Srimad Bhagavatam tells the story of the qualities,  or rather the lack of them , of the people of Kali yuga,  the intelligentsia are silenced in the name of democracy.

When Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu took to the  sannyāsa ashram , He immediately desired to go to Vrndavana, the most Holy place in the Spirtual world where spontaneous love for Krishna is forever and increasingly experienced. When Krishna decends to the material realms , He decends along with His eternal abode . He is absolute, and thus Krishna’s abode is non different from Krishna . Where He goes, His abode goes with Him .One should understand that Vrndavana , currently manifested in North India, is also a spiritual realm . One in whom the trancendental sounds of the Srimad Bhagavatam and Krishna’s names have appeared can realise these realms .  Vrndavana is , in that way , a state of a spiritually pure mind .Without purity, the full manifestion of Vrndavana is not realised. However, elements are present, and anyone can realise them .

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu was setting the perfect example that  everyone should visit Sri Vrndavana Dharma and benefit . Wherever Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu is , or His pure devotee is , is Vrndavana.

Once Lord Siva appeared , at least to his family ,  to disrespect his father in law Daksya . Lord Siva’s wife asked him why he had done so . Lord Siva replied that it had not been deliberately done  and that he had not stood up to show respect to Daksya because,  Lord Siva said , “I am always absorbed in Krishna ,” and in deep trance . This is called Suddha Satva  consciousness , pure trancendental goodness on a super subjective spiritual plane . This consciouseness can be achieved by hearing pure  spiritual sound called Sabdha Brahman vibrated from pure devotees .The Holy names and the Srimad Bhagavatam are such sounds , by contact with such spiritually pure sound, the impure are immediately purified. Even in this world, the sun can dry up and purify the stools of animals. Purification can take place on many levels, and ultimately, the purification of consciousness is needed .

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna speaks of different ways of acquiring different sorts of knowledge . Either from one’s own limited senses , including the mind and intelligence , which will limited knowledge , or one can accept from others , I.e . Their knowledge and experiences , which can also be limited and limiting . Krishna also speaks of knowledge of the impersonal spiritual light , this  light of Bramhajyoti brings a kind of relief and release from all troubles . Srila Jiva Goswami compares that kind of impersonal liberation to a satisfying deep sleep.

The highest realm of spiritual knowledge Krishna says decends by grace when one practices devotion to God , it is graced by Krishna’s pure representatives who experience pure  Bhakti.  That is Suddha Satva  knowledge. The pure representatives are able to vibrate pure trancendental sound with love .The  consciousness that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Siva had  demonstrated. It can be received from the perfect source , someone who is self realised and has love and knowledge of God , and someone who understands the applications of the Vedas . Such a person has heard pure sound , accepted pure sound, and vibrates pure sound .

We should also note from Krishna’s pure spiritual subjective thinking that the whole material universe has been born . It’s a learning and educational experience .It’s something we wanted that God is facilitating.

A spiritual movement is in trouble if it makes the peripherals the priorities and ignores its cor , or if it makes the cor its so called priorities and ignores the peripherals..Thus the examples are demonstrated in the life and teaching of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and He made it clear in His conversations with Ramananda Roy, the systematic processes of the all encompasing Krishna consciousness process

One can never have true Bhakti when Adharma is tolerated or accepted or even exploited for personal benefit .
Thus the dykes and dens should be carefully guarded against , the book Bhagavat and the person Bhagavat sit independently of organised religions .The clear statement by Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja

The original exchanges of Love between Radha Krishna are being distributed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, catch the glance and understand the waves of this unlimited and every increasing ocean of love , its distributed via the Holy names , names accepted by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Krishna Himself is forever attracted to the sweetness of Radharani’s heart

Your distress, my happiness , the illusions of material life.

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur commented on the psychology of the conditioned soul ..

“When he sees others happy he becomes unhappy when he sees others unhappy he becomes happy”.

News programmes regularly feature the unhappy conditions of other , as people comfortably sit back in their armchairs thinking and musing of their own relative and temporary happiness which has expiry dates ..

The foreign policy of most governments seem to be based on inflicted suffering on other countries and their peoples and then leaders proudly boasting to their electorate, ” we have never has it so good ” as their nations and peoples enjoys the spoils …
Thus, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has given frank assessments of material life ..
The life of free consciousness is what Srila Bhativinoda Thakur calls for , meaning a freedom from lust , anger , greed ,envy , madness, and illusions ..and adhere to ethical Dharma.
.
The Bhagavad Gita, as it is, brings us the full analysis, The divine and demoniac positions are clear . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains some of these truths in his commentary.

The uncontrolled mind and senses are big business to the conglomerate liberalists with global empires , and they are literally banking on you to follow them and take your senses anywhere they want to take you .
Enjoy enjoy enjoy……suffer later .

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur tells us to “Jiv jargo” …wake up wake up sleeping soul .

You can not have Adharma in a place of Dharma and call it Dharma,  the saints don’t walk on the paths where the demons tread . Although many fraudulent spiritualists think you can , in the Uddhava Sandesh Krishna tells  Uddhava not to walk on the path where the demon elephants tried to kill Krishna.

Esoteric Cor and peripherals practices and linking processes   the ever increasing ISKCON community.

The epistemology and etymology of the Gaudia Vaisnava tradition, along with its spiritual and esoteric practices , are central to Gaudia Vaisnavaism  .Whereas peripheral beliefs and practices concerning various aspects of  learning within the many Dharmic  approaches , that direct persons towards cor beliefs , by utilising practical living and recommended regulated guidance in a life , also bring many people practical gradual methods of purification . The Smriti of some aspects of Vedas can be in themselves  entangling . Narada Muni informed Veda Vyasadeva of their difficulties. However, the Smriti of the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana under Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu are highly transcendental and chalk out the correctly calculated gradual spiritual developments . They are correctly derived from the Vedas aiming at the need to understand and progress each  candidate toward  the core in systematic ways . Sri Caitanya teachings  and the ISKCON movement work well together , practically billions of people are making their approaches to Krishna and rendering service’s,  the expertise of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is on full veiw,  its his strong desire to please Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja that we see . ISKCON is easily accessible to anyone, and a spiritual journey will begin from the peripheral to the cor . Proper understanding of ISKCON and its broad  approach in teaching  Vedic culture should  be examined .

.Such  PERIPHERAL practices that are primarily directed by the Smriti of the Goswami’s are also at times adapted and  changed , according to time place and  circumstances. The greater broadness of the Dharma and Artha sastra of the Vedas can also interlink and move persons towards the Goswami’s Smriti.

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

As ISKCON spreads it’s wings it should probably make clear to itself , and its following,  what is its function in the above considerations . Some will argue  , that ISKCON should play a direct role in all the peripherals and  the esoteric core practices , and others will stick strongly to the argument that only the core beliefs should be prioritised and its practices are its main concern . Automatically, if the core beliefs and practices are prioritised, ISKCONs mission will be successful, and if it loses sight of its deep core beliefs and practices, everything will be lost in time, some will say .Essentially, both the cor and peripherals are needed , that is the business of the Sankirtana movement that Prabhupada brought to the West , we need men and money to preach Prabhupada said .

In Bhagavad Gita 2.46.

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

His Divine Grace Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami knew the purposes and conducted his mission to astounding levels of success,  that are ever increasing,  so many devotees rendering services,  the world is changing.

When someone is neglecting their best interests its the responsibility of someone with  better understandings and who has a particular persons best  interests at heart to attempt to educate or inform such persons the clear , beneficial , and objectively observable way to see things or proceed , to not do so would be negligence. Such a well wisher would be deeply concerned and make any attempt they could so a person could avoid further  entangling and harmful consequences.  In the case of  human life and its potential and its pitfalls , the Vedas give multitudes of guidance for the good and warnings for potential and definitive harms . For a person living within the material world , the Vedas has defined a must understand status of the reactionary and responsive universe as well as the sciences in operation . However, knowingly or unknowingly, everyone has to face the consequences of the many universal laws . Free will and determinism are part of universal laws , but also  justice along with governance and compliance as laid out within the Vedas should be operational. ” The king can do no wrong ” That’s not a Vedic stanza , rather one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong .  Laws are clearly defined within the Vedas and are  well understood by the Sattvic intelligentsia .Anyone coming to this world carries burdens and debts . Incalculably complex karmic synchronicities are operational for everyone as a space time continuum connects a past , a present, and a future . Those without the specific tools to hand or the association of the Sattvic intelligentsia have no way of understanding events . What is  described as good and bad in ordinary material life calculations are in absolute  spiritual terms  described in one sense as all bad , simply because they further create material bodies , good or bad karma is still karma.  This is because good karma and bad karma deviate one from the best of destinations for the beings . A place free from  birth , death , old age, and disease , along with the atoms , elements, and compounds that facilitate temporary lives . Everything can be left behind along with the influences of the ethereal subtle modes of nature that force the conditioned souls to act practically against their wishes , i.e , conditioned minds and neurons firing , that is the power of maya , or the illusory energies . The consequences of material desires and their entangled webbs can be   overwhelming . It’s God’s made tricks and  illusions ,  What do you expect , He is the supreme wizard of illusions. However, we wanted it , this is not God’s plan for us , we choose .
Death is very much feared by everyone . If there is God , and there is ,  people shake their fists in anger at Him . Why , because everything in their lives is taken away , they see this as unfair.  However, someone who lives a life of harm to themselves and to others causes  greater and greater entanglements and pain to themselves . They may miss out on something far, far greater . Those  persons who have not scientifically understood dualism , or any of  their full  potentials  and who have neglected  to  fully understand objective sciences , that of mind , matter, and consciousness need a reset , and a reset is mercy .
Part of the reset can be the  rectification processes, which will  assist in a good  recovery of calculating  consciousness  potential . This can mean a spell within the mindsets of the animal kingdoms . Previous synchronicities can be played out in relative safety, avoiding harm to other humans ..The reset of a death and new life should always be seen in positive ways . God is all good and eternally has the interests of every  living being deep within His own  heart . With that purpose, He constantly accompanies every being within their hearts . Ultimately , much greater destinations are awaiting for everyone , both for a progressive life in this world and beyond where natural spiritual bliss and happiness are accompanied by pure love in the association of highly elevated souls and where Krishna likes to be . God or Krishna lives in the super subjective spiritual realm realms , birth , death , old age, and disease are unheard of . Miseries of bodies , minds, and miseries inflicted by other conditioned beings are fully absent , there are no harmful conflicts,  just blissful ones .Those who are currently inflicted by the material energies and laws of physics need to know scientifically why and spiritually why .There are answers that are logical and rational.
Child like purity and simplicity are the quality of the soul . Living without physical laws and their influences is natural. Living for the moment is a spiritual dimension , and increasing ever new  enthusiasm for life  should be accompanied by bliss . That is the natural state that is inherently stationed within the heart. This reality beyond the temporary experiences within matter will always be in the company of Divinity and His associates . The windows to the spiritual realms have been opened fully by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His main followers and teachers the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana.  They are unlimitedly and spiritually  astounding , describing soul to soul connections . This is everyone’s right and our destination . Death comes to take us a little closer in one way or another .

Thus Krishna says …

janma karma ca me divyam
evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ
tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti so ’rjuna

Translation

One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.

Although Lord Krishna came 5000 years ago, the complete understanding of His lila pastimes was explained just over 500 years ago by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu .Before His appearance the fullness of Krishna’ lilas , in the sense of entering into the most complete aspects of them , specifically Radha Krishna nitya lila, were not revealed , The manjari bhava , tad bhava catmika is explained by Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s. Pranaya , oneness in love .
Thus, the importance of the Gaudia Vaisnava param para acaryas and their teachings and writings .

Uddhava came to Vrndavana , by Krishna’s grace , Uddhava attempted to comfort the residents by saying to Krishna’s mother and father , that actually krishna is God , He is everywhere but nowhere, so don’t lament you should not feel seperated from Krishna, Uddhava also informed the Gopies and Radharani just meditate on Krishna , Krishna will be present with you .However, the supreme pure devotional moods of the residents of Vraja were not understood by Uddhava, so Krishna sent him there so he could witness it personally. At Kurukshetra the residents of Vraja simply wanted Krishna to return as their family member, their friend or their lover , nothing else , His being personally amongst them , forget His Godhood , that was a secondary thing .

More of Lord Krishna..

If its not the Iran war its the Ukraine war if its not the Ukraine war its the Gazza war or the Sudan war , if its not current wars its the wars of the recent past , if not them more distant wars in time , the whole world speaks of war , but have forgotten about the most telling war , the war fought on the battlefield of Kurukshetra where Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita, to His devotee Arjuna ,,this was one of the reasons Krishna appeared in this world, it’s purposes are still reverberating and will eternally do so .
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all in his Bhagavad Gita as it is.

More on this later .

Lord Krishna is only ever understood in His fullness through the Gaudiya Vaisnava acaryas the param para that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has also become part of . Unless one is properly situated at their lotus feet , ones expression and devotion will be tinged with degrees of Jnana,  karma, and degrees of offenses , which waylay the trancendental traveller. Lord Krishna is understood to different degrees , such as Brahman,  paramatma, and Bhagavan.  As Bhagavan He described in three ways …   “Kṛṣṇa is complete in the spiritual sky [Vaikuṇṭha], He is more complete in Mathurā and Dvārakā, and He is most complete in Vṛndāvana, Vraja . due to His manifesting all His opulences. Spiritually and philosophically, Krishna is manifested in everything and is  everything , yet he is not manifest. This He explains in the Bhagavad Gita , His supreme mysterious workings and trancendental existence. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has nicely defined everything in His statement that the living beings are simultaneously one and different from Divinity.  The Brahman energies manifested throughout the spiritual and material planes can be thought of in the same ways . The upshot is Krishna is fully present to those whom He chooses to be present to .

The cit sakti,  which brings trancendental jnana and Bhakti, is present through this method .

śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ
puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ
hṛdy antaḥ stho hy abhadrāṇi
vidhunoti suhṛt satām

Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramātmā [Supersoul] in everyone’s heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee, cleanses desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the urge to hear His messages, which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted

And in His lila sakti He is present explained here .

nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś
caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ
pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-mukto
’bhinnatvān nāma-nāminoḥ

Translation

“ ‘The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Kṛṣṇa’s name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Kṛṣṇa Himself. Since Kṛṣṇa’s name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with māyā. Kṛṣṇa’s name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa Himself are identical.’

Although Krishna comes to this world personally or through His expansions and incarnations for many purposes , most importantly , his glorious activities are to be remembered and meditated upon , and heard about through the param para devotees who relish them in full . The six Goswami’s of Vrndavana have further elaborated upon the Srimad Bhagavatam and their confidential writings are windows to the spiritual kingdoms,  they are all eternal residents of those kingdoms and appear within the Vraj lila and Mahaprabhu’s lila . Krishna’s all attractive pastimes are eternally manifest, and one who surrenders the heart and mind with an attitude of service and devotion and following strictly in the footsteps of the param para acaryas immediately contacts the eternal spiritual plane by their grace .

The following of Sankacarya have confusion when it comes to relating to Brahman and Bhagavan . The supreme Brahman has multidimensional and multifarious energies. Being as they are so complex and inconceivably situated, the vast array of energies are called Brahman . Today’s modern scientific community members like to delve into the physical affairs along with the slightly more subtle affairs of a world of many possibilities within quantum physics . Such studies open up the more ethereal reactionary elements of the particles of consciousness that are entangled within the responsive universe.  Before the modern age, the ethereal subtle sciences were understood , the world of dualism.  These subtle ethereal energies were expertly manipulated . The matter of atoms elements and compounds were , using the mysterious workings of yogic powers ,  manipulated, and transportation of the gross or subtle body via controlled mental states were  learned and practised . Imagine dreaming at night and choosing your dream and location and what opulences you could have . The entirety of both the gross and subtle ethereal energies are addressed as Brahman within the Vedas. They are manifested from the Supreme Brahman through His yogic nidra , His Mystic sleep , lasting for 311 trillion years . Everything of these sciences is recorded within the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedas , or Vedanta sutra , meaning the codes of the Vedas . Universal order is a highly complex affair,  but not to Bhagavan , It’s merely a spark of His splendour as Lord Krishna makes clear in His Bhagavad Gita. The vedas as a whole slowly wheels the living beings in by systematic processes of recommendations of  various sacrifices along with the knowledge and purposes behind such activities. Everything ends in Bhagavan and begins from Bhagavan.

So, like the energies and energetic source. The sun and the sunshine , ie. its photons of light. Why all the material universes manifesting as Brahman are in existence is solely down to freedoms,  the freedom of free will , but importantly , a free will under the jurisdictions of determinism , justice , learning and progressions .

Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has written commentary on all of the Srimad Bhagavatam . Find out more .There are many Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas who write on the Bhagavatam and Srila Jiva Goswami has carried out the most complete in-depth study in his Sandarbha series.
