The bread you consume daily should be obviously made locally with wheat purchases from local farmers .The healthy local economy, and environmentally friendly of course . But someone in Brighton for example is buying his bread that has been baked in Northern England , and transported down the motorway with wheat imported from Canada . The Vedic thinkers understand the goodness of local economies not only from an environmental and health consideration but all round focus on simple living and high thinking . The Darwinians goals and those of those following scientific materialism are absurd in everyway , and any calculations based on absurdities leads to further absurdities. Thus fools voting in fools leads to mayhem , take a look at the world as it currently stands.
Before the appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu further extensive knowledge that was already given in the Bhagavatam of Radha Krishna and the residents of Vrndavana was accessed through the teachings of Visnu Swami and further details from Vallabha acarya , those from the four Kumara sampradaya and Rudra sampradaya.
However, the extent and depths of Srimati Radharani love as well that of her assistants, the Manjaris, became revealed by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and this knowledge , by His order to Nityananda prabhu , was distributed widely to one and all . Another feature of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings was to make clear what the truth of Varna Ashram is , and its deliberate progressive paths towards ,niskarma karma, jnana yoga and buddhi yoga aiming towards all the levels of Bhakti yoga which culminate in pure spontaneous love that follows the residents of Vrndavana . Those who give their whole attention to Krishna in five types of relationships.
This trancendental theological position has been explained by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami in his series of Caitanya Caratamrita, which can be accessed.
The Vedic followers are not doom watchers , they don’t curse those who seek pleasure.
Indeed, the very nature of the living being is pleasure seeking , and that is said in the Vedas itself.
The Vedic aphorism.
Anandamayo bhyasat.
Pleasure seeking and a joyful life is the constitution of the living being.
The Vedic followers are simply seeking a place where this instinctive nature of the beings can be exhibited without the scientifically observed obstacles of birth , death , old age, and disease.
It is further noted by the Vedic following that although the body undergoes difficulties and has the above restrictions imposed upon it , the consciousness is only the witness to it .
So intelligence should calculate why am I suffering birth , death, old age, and disease and all the accompanying miseries akin to it ?
The Vedas itself explains scientifically what the material energies constitution is and the laws of nature that operate , as well , why they are set in place . Essentially, the Vedas explains why those living beings find themselves in the predicament they do .
To live in an environment where the consciousness and the energy that surround it are of the same nature is required, Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani, and their associates do not possess “karmic ” material bodies .
When one chants Hare Krishna, this means that we want to bring Radha Krishna together and help and participate in Their ecstatic pastimes, assisting them in every way, by doing so we automatically become satisfied , as for example the leaves of the tree are satisfied when the root of the tree is watered.
The books of the Param Para teachers tells all , Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is most expert at teaching Vedic wisdom to Western audiences.
There is a very good reason why when describing aquiring knowledge, Lord Krishna puts humility as the first step to knowledge.. Try speaking sense to someone who puts up pride shutters within their consciousness.. It becomes so obvious that they hang on so tightly to preconceptions , and their minds go into overdrive as defence mechanisms kick in and kick all good sense out..
The BBC were at it again last night they had their scientific presenter dive deep into the oceans to find the source of our brains , they said it came from a volcanic vent deep within the oceans , thus speculations are openly presented as fact based sciences by mainstream media.
The BBC editor and the presenter should have left their brains in a glass jar at the bottom of the sea for all the good they are .Truthfulness and honesty are essential in objective sciences.
Subjective opinion must be clearly made to look life relatively uniformed opinion.
Every one of the citizens of countries worldwide should realise and learn of their own cultural traditions and historic values , practically all of them have some connections to Divinity in one way or another . It is the arrangement of Divinity that knowledge is always present and available through the wise . Progressive paths have been given .for thousands upon thousands of years .One of the youngest countries , USA , seeks to spread its influences , but in setting up the USA the forefathers sought to exploit and destroy the ancient culture of the natives , those persons who came to America , soon forgot or never practiced humanitarian values it seems .Although the forefathers constitution includes the words , self-evident truth of the equality of all men , one can speak big words with an empty heart, it seems . The ancient Greeks, the Vedic culture, the ancient Chinese cultures, and many others should not be forgotten . The world should not become a global world led by those who haven’t got much in the way of historic values, rampant materialism, and distorted theological thinking is not anything wonderful to spread worldwide. Rather, individual nations should look to their own traditions, live simply and peacefully, producing their own needs , with only essentials imported .The cultivation of fine consciousness with humility , family values, and equal vision are the teachings of the now forgotten great civilizations . http://www.thevedicspectator.com

Perfection to imperfection ,or reflection of perfection.The journeys of the soul
Srila Jiva Goswami, one of the greatest Vedic scholars, said ..”we are trying to bring perfection to imperfection..”
Ultimately, you could say atoms elements and compounds are an offering made by the material energies, they are so made by Divinity, and reluctantly given by Him , reluctant , because the the living beings are attempting to bring a perfection in their lives , but in an atmosphere that is not suitable , because atoms , elements and compounds can never satisfy our inner consciousnesss needs .What is that need , blissful, happy lives , and relationships that are increasingly rewarding . Perhaps the closest to the above are youthful or child like enthusiasms for life , schools out enthusiasm can be seen everywhere. It’s a kind of reflection of perfection . Ultimately, every theologically driven culture warns of the original pure consciousness entanglements in the material world, and they provide analysis of the problems and offer solutions. Entanglements in karmic activities and cyclic synchronicities can be very difficult to shift . Jiva Goswami indicates this in his Bhagavat Sandarbha…. The living beings conditioned concept of becoming an enjoyer of a substance that is ultimately alien to him is like the will of the wisp , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said . Those fast moving atoms, elements and compounds and particular subtle mind with given intellect are awarded within a stipulated space and stipulated time to the individual consciousness particle ,but they can not stay .The atoms are vibrating and producing forms that appear as permanent reality , with a varigatedness that is indeed full of wonder , and no wonder , this is a reflection of a spiritual reality but here the essence of the pure heart is missing. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Thinking and thinking practice , trancendental litratures and trancendental services bring trancendental thinking ..
“Regarding your first question, is it offensive to think of Krishna’s Pastimes while chanting, I think you should know that it is not offensive, but rather it is required. One must try for the point when he simply hears Krishna and immediately all of Krishna, His Pastimes, His Form, His Quality, are in his thoughts. So to always be immersed in thoughts of Krishna this is our process. When we are full in Krishna then where there can be any chance for maya in us? So this is our duty to remember Krishna’s Pastimes. One who cannot remember Krishna, let him always hear Hare Krishna and then when he has perfected this art, then always he will remember Krishna, His Activities, His Qualities, etc.” Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada…
For some reason some devotees have problems with this understanding of Krishna consciousness , in an avoidance of being “too esoteric ” some devotees give the unbalanced veiw , that deeper spontaneous thoughts and aspirations of services are not for the Gaudia Vaisnava’s . Of course there is due course , as clearly defined in the books of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given indications in His conversation with Ramananda Roy about the complete process and the goal .
From Karma yoga in Varna Ashram to Niskarma karma yoga to buddhi yoga to pure Bhakti yoga in spontaneous love and the different types of pure love exhibited by different devotees in different places .
Ultimately, Prabhupada puts it perfectly , work hard, Samadhi later ..
Equivalents are used in Nyaya logic.. Consciousness is seen equally in all beings . It will never arise out of chemicals. The source of a miniature Consciousness is a larger consciousness. Like the sun and sun molecules. There has never been a time that consciousness did not exist , nor in the future will it cease to be ..matter has certain properties. Consciousness is a different sort of energy. Thus, the ancients and their cultures were correctly based on dualism. Scientific materialism is a recent construct ..and is completely subjective speculation , it curiously practically ignores consciousness , ignorance is bliss maybe , or enables a madman to live in illusion. You are the same Consciousness particle, as you were as a child, but your body has changed . When you sleep and dream , your body is acting , your consciouseness is involved in an ethereal plane , a real life , so much so that if a man embraces a woman, he ejeculates .You completely forget your body lying in your bed. On awakening, you remember and identify with it again ..at death your body is forgotten forever , but you wake up in a new one , only traces and some impressions of a previous consciousnesss conditioning is vaguely remembered . Thus, your life is a daytime dream nighttime dream . But you should ask why am I subjected to this ?
The living spark is transfered into the sperm , it carries a great deal of information collected from the previous encounters from previous existence . The ethereal planes are currently not at all understood by those who only study scientific materialism , however, everyone experiences mind and intelligence along with unlimited creative thoughts .The soul needs a body , so the sperm is placed in a specific egg , and chemical signalling only lets one sperm into an egg . The information of both Dna codes forms the prescribed body and its journeys of Karmic synchronicities. Welcome to the world of Divine algorithms, Divinity has intelligence like the sun , and your intelligence is like one photon. This is objective science.. Perfect math symmetry and order in everything. Nothing by chance…
In order for life to be meaningful, peaceful, and rewarding, the following is important ..
I would strongly recommend that all the major religions of the world unite together so a combined document can be produced on . The meanings and purposes of ethics and justice within governance of international bodies and local governments . Along with this, an international criminal justice system that actually has power. Any countries outside those systems should be discarded and isolated financially economically and in every way possible, including the USA or any EU countries. No one as it currently stands is qualified for entrance into this new world order .. The first thing is to educate people , so fools don’t vote in fools or religious unthinking fanatics. Don’t get the following of other religious unthinking fanatics .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
If we look at the ocean or extract a drop of sea water ,and examine one drop of it , it enables us to understand something of the ocean . However, in reality , the total combined oceans is a true expression of what the sum total of the ocean is . Within its depths are complex currents and even unknown species are lurking. So, a cursory glance or or some examination does not tell us much , but gives some idea
In the same way …. One can point to one person , one particle of consciousness, and understand something of consciousness , such a study will give some clues of the nature of God and His consciousness . The Vedas inficates God displays His unlimited consciousness in numerous ways , and they should be considered. He is, for instance, fully conscious of every one of his part and parcel expansions, namely the all the living beings . He is simultaneously one and different from them and reciprocating with each part separately and directly . Those who understand consciousness properly can understand something of God .Thats why those who understand dualism by studying their own consciousness will most definitely understand something of the ” ocean ” of God’s unlimited consciousness and something of His unlimitness energies and powers .
Translation By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.
Srila Sridhar Swami would say , in describing God ….…that God is everywhere but nowhere . How is this ? Because God is He who is full of opulences and lives in a multiuniversal capacity, both material and spiritual . He can bestow trancendental bliss upon His devotees as the original personality of Godhead and simultaneously take care of the affairs of the material energies . God is everything , but also Krishna is the original person from whom all the other forms of Divinity expand, and multifarious energies , some superior some inferia. He remains permanently in Goloka Vrndavana , the spiritual world . So He is inside everything and simultaneously outside .
How can those placing faith in scientific materialism or atheistic Darwinian hypothesis understand ?
But Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger , Feynman or Teller would very well understand.
And the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall.
The concept that Krishna is everywhere but nowhere is explored in spiritual and philosophical writings in many cultures. Particularly within the framework of the dualistic school of Vedic philosophy , as opposed to monism , ie. God that is impersonal . This concept, often attributed to Srila Sridhar Swami, suggests that Krishna is both all-encompassing and yet transcends any specific location or limitation. Here’s a breakdown of the concept: Everywhere: Krishna is seen as the ultimate reality, the underlying principle of the universe. As such, He is present in everything, pervading all space and time. This aligns with the idea of Brahman, the ultimate reality in Advaita Vedanta, which considers God impersonal and to be one, indivisible, and the source of all existence. The one and difference are discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam… It indicates, “At the same time as being all pervading , Krishna is beyond the limitations of the material world.” He is not confined to any specific place, time, or form. This aspect of Divinity emphasizes His expansions of His spiritual energies , the ultimate reality. It’s not limited by the duality of existence and non-existence of the physical world. In Essence: The “everywhere but nowhere” concept highlights the paradoxical nature of the ultimate reality. It suggests that while Krishna is present in every aspect of the universe, He also transcends it and is not bound by the limitations of the material world. This concept is often used to illustrate the idea that the ultimate reality is not something that can be defined or localized in the same way as ordinary objects or beings. It emphasizes the transcendence of the divine and the fact that He is beyond our comprehension. “ Bhagavad Gita .9.4 http://www.thevedicspectator.com
