In one sense , according to the vedas we already have artificial intelligence, because if we cannot discriminate between matter and spirit ,or atoms ,molecules and elements , from the consciousness, we are already influenced by an artificial world or a virtual reality, it’s only when Krishna gives us spiritual intelligence that we can break free from an artificial intelligence , and see that consciousness particles are situated in machines made of matter .
How is this analysis given in more detail ?
That you will find in Bhagavad Gita as it is , A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami is very expertly explaining with references to several parts of the Vedas .

The beginnings of Bhagavad Gita show the state of Dhrtarastra, he enquired about the state of play on the Kuruksetra battle field.
It appears that he is being conciliatory and would like to negotiate peace , but his internal thoughts were , if peace was to be negotiated, his sons would not have a free reign in the kingdom. He was confident of victory because he had the best of the warriors on his side , so ultimately he selfishly and ruthlessly pressed ahead in an attempt to go against Dharma and take what was not rightfully his families and suppress those who were the real heirs to a kingdom.
You can judge for yourself whether the USA and Europe have more rights in Ukraine than Russia, who have a long history with connections both in religion and culture.
Perhaps the might of the USA led coalition can be compared to Bhisma , appearing invincible, and the Ukrainian leaders are convinced the USA ways of operations are legitimate and represents purity and Dharma, others looking at the USA geopolitical manoeuvres may disagree.
Vedic culture is actually based on both unipolar and multipolar models. There is no call for globalists to be dominant , but rather a respect for differences be it autocratic government or so called democracy, which is proving to be a rather troubled system, with endless wrangling and unstable ever changing leaders , who have interests that appear to align with dubious persons and organisations, rather than the people, take a look at the free world and its current state.
One question which John Mearsheimer has asked…what would USA do if China were to have Mexico as its friend having spent billions of dollars influencing politics in Mexico, and the Chinese troops arriving on the USA borders with military hardware. Do we really think the USA would turn the other cheek . Surely Russia has legitimate concerns with a build up of military hardware on its borders and billions of dollars spent on influencing politics by the USA.. We hope good sense prevails and geopolitical academics, directed by sensibly minded persons can solve the problems, leaving the here today gone tomorrow, politicians to one side

In simple terms, if smoke is seen in a distant mountain, one can infer there is fire or if someone found a watch in the long grass in the eighteenth century, naturally a watch maker was assumed…( see William Paley )
Similarly, the simple arguments that the complexity of a single cell ,with hundreds of nano machines, each performing different functions implies a designer and the argument that wherever you find codes you know there must be a code maker , ie dna codes that produce protein machines that produce the individual bodies of all living beings, hold up in ancient nyaya logical systems of discussion , as such any teleological arguments certainly should be taken seriously.
In a discussion about truth , the qualifications for participation are that persons are sincerely looking for truth , if a discussion takes place where one or two of the participants are affected by a subjective biased opinion , its unlikely truth will be found .
The main qualifications in discussion are that persons are sincere searchers for truth , and can conduct discussion in logical ways ,….truth actually is self evident to the sincere seeker it is said , and after careful debate with honest persons ,truth will out.

What is an observer? Physicists puzzle over this question, as Richard Feynman once famously said, if you think you understand quantum physics ,then you know nothing of it .
But the Vedas state plainly an observer is consciousness either directly or indirectly, the Vedas further state this consciousness is eternally individual and has eternal desire. Currently, consciousness is placed within laws of nature that differ from the consciousness, so that’s a problem , how to place consciousness that has eternal desires in a fixed state , where desires can be fulfilled without interpretations such as birth ,death, old age and decease and placed in energies and laws that do not hamper the consciousness .
Thus, consciousness can be surrounded by the same energy it is fundamentally made from . That is the offer being made by the Vedas and, in one sense, all bone fide religious teaching and our best use of our God given intelligence is to seek out solutions to the most extreme difficulties we face , old age ,decease and death .
The technical term in the Vedas is apavarga and parvarga means bondage. Pa.pha.ba.bha.ma.
Pa .very hard labour.
Pha. Foam at mouth
Ba. dissapointment
Bha. Fear
Ma. Death .
The reality and truthful, accurate way of analysing our current predicament.

Why should I have any interest in an ancient scripture called the Srimad Bhagavatam? Most people will ask , what does it contain anyway? what is in it for me, or what benefits can it offer society as a whole? How can such ancient literature possibly have any relevance in today’s technological world with fast communication and instant pleasures for the body , mind, and senses. Modern globalists say that economic development is liberating the world from poverty and bringing new improved lives far better than life used to be, and we don’t want to go back in time .
These kind of questions many people will naturally ask when approached by those who study the science of self-realization contained within the Bhagavatam . The Bhagavatam contains numerous topics within its 18000 verses , sciences of many kinds , including time relativity and cosmic karmic synchronicities, sociology ,socio-political governance and compliance systems, the responsive universe and its atomic and ethereal implications on the free will , determinism and justice, the list goes on . The study of consciousness within the confines of matter is an essential topic , and scientific materialism, as well as the Darwinian hypothesis, puts a stop to these natural mysteries that modern men refuse to confront . We are individual living beings with consciousness , every living being has consciousness , each of us find ourselves within spacetime in a particular dimension on a particular planet , along with the body that is under “mother natures ” strict physical laws that everyone is forced to submit to.
The progressive spiritual seeker appreciates that the contents of the Srimad Bhagavatam and sees clearly it does not contradict any of the objective sciences that can be referenced .Although scientific materialism and the Darwinian hypothesis are rejected outright. Today, multidimensional spacetime is readily accepted by modern physicists, the Harvard PROFFESOR Lisa Randall teaches openly such mathematical proven observations . Biologists see the significance and obvious signs of design and mathematical symmetry in the organic world they study . Leading chemists are aware that a theory that consciousness is an upshot of a combination of material chemicals randomly conjoining is becoming increasingly silly to repeat .It is ultimately a lame attempt by the Darwinians to explain incomprehensible complexities’ in subjective limited ways ,and it’s fooling no one these days , except for die hard Darwinians, who can’t think for themselves.
The substrata of the material universe is fundamentally atomic; so says the Srimad Bhagavatam. Coincidentally, Niels Bohr, who helped define the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics, also studied the Vedas closely. The Bhagavatam describes material nature as a quantum reality driven by an ethereal mind with endless possibilities .Karmic synchronicities are at play in the responsive ethereal and atomic universe, this reality which responds to the free will and determinism of each individual within it is described in the third and fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam. The Srimad Bhagavatam also elaborates fully on multidimensional spacetime and the living beings who are differently subjected . The Bhagavatam introduces the concept of three overarching principles, or modes of material nature , these are subtle conditioning that effect the mental and intellectual aspects of our lives , bringing lifestyles. Many scientific discoveries are made , but modern life is incomprehensible to the greatest of physicists. They are puzzled that gravity on earth is a relatively weak force but yet pulls the whole of the oceans , a magnet easily overcomes gravity. The Bhagavatam’s resolution for the puzzled (in keeping with Kantian logic that senses do not perceive all levels of existence) is acceptance of the ethereal plane . This ethereal plane , as yet undetected by sciences, has an existence that defines and is immediately linked to the current laws of quantum and classical physics. This is free will and determinism at play on multiple platforms.
What is the origin of the Srimad Bhagavatam?
The Srimad Bhagavatam is a natural commentary on the Vedanta Sutras. ‘Veda’ means ‘knowledge’, and ‘anta’ means ‘ultimate’. The Vedanta sutra comprises of condensed forms of information .They are sort of codes or stanzas that can be greatly expanded upon by the pure representatives of them .The Vedanta sutra itself is a distillation of the original knowledge from the four Vedas written by the sage Vyasadeva. These voluminous original four Vedas give directions to mankind for all kinds of developments and progress in every conceivable way that is needed for mankind. At the same time, they underline the main purpose of human life is to link to God and learn to love God.
All living beings already have a connection with God , He is situated within all beings. Inspiration, for example, is a phenomenon that clearly exists. Researchers, philosophers, and scientists often comment that ‘eureka’ moments confront them at the unlikeliest of moments. Shopping for food or perhaps feeding the pet dog . The physicist Richard Feynman has commented that an intense focus of attention to a sticky problem predictably leads to an extraordinary emergeance of solutions. Similar experiences are shared by many in an unusual manner during creative and artistic moments.
The achievements of writers and philosophers should not be overlooked but rather judged by their merits. Vyasadeva compiled the Vedas many thousands of years ago, and these are inspired works by any estimation. As a literary incarnation of God himself, He is the source of all inspiration . If one examines Vyasadeva’s works, one will discover on inspection, he has some very pertinent things to say about every aspect of life.
The Srimad Bhagavatam presented to you by the scholar and devotional practitioner Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is a commentary on the original four Vedas along with their summary , the Vedanta Sutra. It incorporates the teachings of four original professors of spiritual knowledge, namely Lord Brahma, Sri Laxmi , the Kumara sages, and Lord Shiva. These professors of knowledge established lineages, known as ‘sampradayas’, they protect and pass down the Vedic knowledge from one generation to another. Scholars of prominence of these four ‘sampradayas’ are Madhvacarya, Ramanujacarya, Nimbarkacarya, and Vallabhacarya. Their teachings are incorporated into Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s purports within the Srimad Bhagavatam texts. Prabhupada was himself taught by his own teacher, or spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami , who was the son of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami was a disciple of Srila Gour Kisor das babaji .
Historically , and according to time and circumstance, the above historical scholars of the Indian sub-continent presented the full picture of the Absolute Truth systematically . The full picture of the individual living being and God is presented. They are inconceivably one and different from one another. Each of the eminent scholars brings to the fore similar conclusion, but in slightly different ways. They all inform us of the big picture. An appreciation of the ‘advaita-vada’, or ‘oneness’, of one scholar, should be balanced with an appreciation of the ‘dvaita-vada’ or ‘difference’ from God, of another scholar .
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami is a follower of the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krishna Himself , and He is the most recent exponent of the teachings of the Srimad Bhagavatam along with the explicit truth of the inconceivable oneness and difference of each living being with God .Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu entrusted His teachings to His direct disciples Sanatana Goswami, Rupa Goswami, Jiva Goswami and Raghunatha das Goswami, who in turn established His teachings on a sound scriptural and philosophical basis. Today, the erudition of these Goswamis is greatly respected in universities throughout the world.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s ultimate teachings is that all living beings have an eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead , Sri Krishna , in one of five ‘rasas’ or varieties of loving mellows . From neutrality through to divine conjugal love. These relationships are described in the Vedas as confidential, more confidential, and most confidential.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami explains in his introduction to the Bhagavatam that the broad conception of ‘God’ is not on the same level as a realisation of the Absolute Truth , The Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna. The Srimad Bhagavatam brings into focus the Absolute Truth , the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna , who Himself possesses innumerable energies which are manifested in th perfect design and perfect order we witness around us .Krishna is the cause of all causes , who is acting through his manh expansions to facilitate the free will of the individual being in this world . Krishna also fashions nature in such a way as to guide and correct living entities so that they are given opportunities to restore themselves to their constitutional position of spontaneous love of God .
The principles of the Bhagavatam can be applied in all fields; political, social, economic, judicial, military etc., and they’re principles that can raise the merit of any value system. There is much that can be gleaned in the Bhagavatam for the spiritual upliftment of all living beings . The spiritual perfection of love for Krishna encompasses and includes love for every living thing since all living things are eternally parts and parcels of Him. The symptoms of someone completely on the spiritual platform are the absence of all anxieties and satisfaction along with bliss . There is no personal concern for material loss, nor hankering for material temporary gains whatsoever. This state is termed the “param gatim”, the supreme goal of life superseding all other goals, and quite naturally the goal which should always be born in mind.

Let’s create a society based on just political systems with accountability and not hypocrisy
The four ‘Vedas’, namely Rig-Veda, Atharva-Veda, Yajur-Veda and Sama-Veda contain the complete knowledge of Krishna in all His aspects , namely His personality and His separated enegies including his individual parts and parcels and the Maha Tattva ie.‘Physical universe’. Rig-Veda explains the ‘cosmic order’ stating that physical as well as moral laws govern the entire universe and that transgression of these laws should be prohibited Vedic philosophy derives infinite creativity, actions and power from universal laws of Nature, or ones God given talent should be correctly adopted in the service of Divinity. Twentieth century has witnessed increasing focus on growth and accumulation of wealth at the cost of society resulting in many socio-economic, political and environmental problems. It has led to mass exploration of everyone and everything . In Vedic philosophy, core function of business is to create wealth for society based on ‘Sarva Loka Hitam’ which means “Well being of all stakeholders”. Krishna indicates in ‘Bhagavad Gita’ leaders should be ‘wisdom workers’ who focus on Education, Values, Principles and Wisdom leading to spiritual consciousness in service to Divinity. Sustainable growth comes by earning money following ‘Values’. Key to success lies in ‘Yajna’, sacrifice ultimately to Divinity through his bone fide representatives . The long-term interest of any society are best served by adopting an integrated approach . In essence, Vedic way for sustainable growth ensures continuous flow of knowledge, finances, physical resources, learning and information like a river for the prosperity of ‘Global Society’ – but each administrated locally with out global exploration of a few dominating and shaping everyone’s future .Thesis .antithesis, synthesis. The perfection of understanding , Krishna says one who sees Me everywhere and everything in Me is never lost to Me
One essential project of Prabhupada was the Bhaktivedanta Institute, this body examines in a scientific way all aspects of the Vedas and along with the intelligent design movement explaining to the public objectively how the material world functions, the five topics of Bhagavad Gita are Divinity, the individual entity, nature , space time and karma , Or synchronicity effects on an individual human being within the laws of free will and determinism.We want to hold scientific conferences bringing further understanding of the Vedas , Niels Bohr one of the great thinkers in the feild of quantum physics studied the vedas ,and his Copenhagen interpretation of consciousness and its effect on matter parallels the Vedic conclusions .
