  • Love love love , as the Beatles sang ..

    Jan 28th, 2026

    All you need is love .

    “Pure love for Kṛṣṇa is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens.”

    Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, in his writing, says love is everywhere. Even in other species, you will find love and protection . In the rainy season, an ant picks up its eggs and moves them to a safer place .
    Krishna is in the hearts of all beings. All beings are one and different from Krishna .Thus, God is intimately united with us , we have forgotten Him , but He never forgets or neglects.
    Love me, love my dog .
    The question is, what type of love? There are different types and different degrees .
    The love of the parent for the child , the love of the nephew for the uncle, the love of the student for the teacher , the love of the friend for his friend , the love of the husband and wife .
    So, no doubt love is situated in the heart. Its perfection comes through , in our case, learning to love , and ultimately,  learning to love God , that is the theological and philosophical messages of great cultures.
    Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu recently came to teach how to love God ,He gave a practical example how to love God and what love of God means , its not just a part time sentiment.  In this particular time period, he has bestowed upon all beings  the highest degree of love on the most undeserving , something bestowed on those who need it most.
    The inner chambers of the heart of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune are  being revealed. How do you obtain this greatest of good fortune? By associating and hearing from someone who has had the good fortune to have received it , and it’s open to one and all .
    Srila Gour Govinda Swami is very expert at elaborating and explaining the details and the complete process of Bhakti , the yoga of love .

    This has to be understood carefully . Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja also said one should follow the heart .. but as well ,  the progressive and systematic process of the sciences of Bhakti given by Srila Rupa Goswami. From Madhva Acarya to Ramanuja Acarya to Srila Visnu Swami to Srila Nimbarkacarya , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Goswami Maharaja has carefully incorperated all their teachings .
    Ultimately , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja brought us progressively to the teaching of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu . Mahaprabhu’s conversation with Ramananda Raya also explains the systemic paths of devotion as does , karma yoga , jnana yoga , niskarma yoga , astanga yoga and Bhakti yoga .
    It’s also to be considered that pure devotees have specific Rasa and relationships with Krishna. Thus, they each elaborate on Bhakti rasa in different ways ..
    Through the param para, initially, one is bestowed freedoms , in love, there are unlimited freedoms

  • What’s going on …….encroachment

    Jan 27th, 2026

    The world has many purposes because there are inculcabable living entities within it each with particular purposes to fulfil or to enjoy or suffer the results of  and we thought the algorithmic tracking of billions of internet users  and simultaneously so was quite a feat . The  Vedas gives an insight to all the goings on within the universe and also tells of what everyone is looking for .

    Every living being has rights, and any encroachments into another territory or consciousness which impacts in one way or another brings entanglements. One is duty bound one way or another and will have to be paid or pay. Harmonized  and fair society is based on respect, respect implies knowledge , and no respect implies  ignorance.  The originally intended leaders by Vedic calculations,  the actual intelligentsia, are those who execute moral and ethical justice systems within societal affairs and within the judiciary as a whole .

    The leaders must have proper reference points. The absolute universal principles are well known by the wise who  understand  fully scientific dualism , mind , matter, and consciousness.

    The first class persons who act with dignity and are knowledgeable of such universal principles both  locally,  nationally and  internationally and especially in their  own personal lives  are those we should look to , those who are devoid of such qualities  should be avoided and no question of such persons leading societies…….but they do …….whats going on ?

    Liberalism by the  unthinking religion by the  unthinking

    Money money ,money brighter than sunshine sweeter than honey . The mantra of the global liberalists. Get money money, whatever it takes , a global den of eniquity as far as they are concerned. They just dont care or have the brain substance to care . Markets of immorality of all kinds , the favourite of Mr Musk and the like . Unrestricted sence pleasure , sexualised society for profits to die for , literally . This consciousness of increasing animal propensities  is  the Darwinian world , the  world of scientific materialism fueling the drive for  ever new sensual pleasures in the material world . Why wouldn’t it be ? It’s  addictive , it ruins family lives  and cultures, and degrades a supposed civilised society. Sophisticated animals at most can describe those who have lost touch with consciousness and are plugged into the gross body and who chase the mind anywhere .

    However, in realistic theological terms, there must be a balanced approach . In todays world, we will  find, for instance, extreme versions of  religions and speculative interpretations of scripts that are not sensible or credible . They are often  tainted with suppression,  dogma, and misunderstanding of various kinds of  human psychological conditions . One can not suppress a population but rather one should introduce practical regulations and restrictions for a systematic progression of educational cultures. That’s the Vedic approach . Currently, in some parts of the Islamic world, women are said to be forced to cover their heads and faces ,  the suppressed female society’s can be  unnecessarily harrased , and not given the opportunities they seek . On the other hand, in the super liberal west, extreme liberalism leads to  school girls’ dresses being so short that they may just as well go to school in their underwear. It also has led in the UK  and the West to abortions in increasing numbers, and the new law indicates no time limits on when the child can be killed in the womb . One MP is quite happy for a 37 week old  child to be killed , this type of liberalism is leading to a mental health epidemic.
    This extremely sexualised society with unthinking businessmen making up rules is absolutely unacceptable .The  political classes are not  organising governance but rather are contaminated themselves with the same decease and controlled by money men . Brainwashed people are easily manipulated by social media and mainstream media .
    But many people are still sane and  decent , there is a kick back going on  to the  super liberalism on display.  The problem is that money men are ruthless. The government must take the side of the learned , ethical, and moral intelligentsia.

    The middle way is the Vedic way .

    Preservation of culture,  family values, and traditions is going on instead of a balanced  education, alongside theologically driven cultures and sciences of all kinds . Philosophically driven cultures with an understanding of dualism, mind , matter, and consciousness are key to good governance

  • Everything is complete and perfect

    Jan 27th, 2026

    Gaudia Vaisnavism

    In Gaudiya Vaisnavism, one’s service to the pure devotee is essential and comes in many forms,  but ones own personal bhajan and understandings of Sri Guru along with the previous acaryas through their writings and teachings is essential , that in one sense is the greatest service . From there, many things either in this life or the next spring forth .

    The clue of the purposes of ISKCON can be found in photographs of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja welcoming members of the British Raj to his Gaudia Math in the 1930s , making many special provisions for them , and also in the same manner welcoming many Western scholars and intellectuals.
    The attempts for Srila Bhaktivinod Thakurs’ vision of Devi Varna Ashram had begun . Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj disciple Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami , having spent a life of study and seven years living in retirement in Vrndavana preparing for his mission took his Guru Maharajas’ messages all over the world , they are still reverberating and expanding . Anyone can connect whatever ones condition or status in life and fulfil life’s ultimate purposes.

    Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja has brought the complete , more complete, and most complete messages of Godhead..

    When Krishna appeared 5000 years ago he exhibited His full personality , which is the most complete in spontaneous love within Vraja , and exhibited fully only in the company of Srimati Radharani and Her friends.

    Krishna exhibited his desire to establish religious principles in his pastimes in Mathura ,Dwarka and in Kurukshetra.

    Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja brings full knowledge of the complete , more complete and most complete by his practical preaching activities of challenging materialism in very strong ways,  as well as deviations from legitimate spiritual practices,  no speculations or “add ons ” were tolerated .

    But he also, on a number of occasions, revealed indirectly his most intimate spiritual position , that of  Radha Dasyam , in Manjari bhava.

    Like Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu,  Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj had concerns for the world and as well he had ultimate personal deeply spiritual concerns for his services with the eternal realms of Vrndavana , executed with  confidentiality in Srimati Radharani’s services , but in another form .

  • Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Divinity

    Jan 26th, 2026

    The never-ending cycles of a material matrix within universal dreams

    Einstein spoke of the space time continuum.  This also parallels  Vedic scientific truths. The journeys of the individual particles of consciousness , the  soul , and the consequences of their own desires and actions , so a  self propelled journey ,  within the total material energies of a multiuniversal universe,  utalising God given free will ,  or even a God given free wont . Free wont means one by his or her own endeavour controls the demands of the mind and senses that are imploring one to act ..This is the beginnings of a  disciplined life and a way out of the universe.

    Re space time in Vedic terms.

    The past is affecting the present , and the present will affect the future and curiously enough also the past on some occasions.

    Ultimately, it’s said in the Vedas that the  independent life of the living beings , who is in reality completely dependent on Divinity for everything , has been  awarded,  given, or   sanctioned by Divinity . This power to act or  any restrictions placed on one are calculated according to previous interactions within the particular beings’  universal journey.  Indeed, Divinity Himself, it’s told in the Vedas, has to give the impetus , help, and intelligence for the living beings to enter into the material machine like body and take up his tiny artificial and temporary material life . Everything is  happening under the watch of the supersoul . Such are the complexities of the material matrix that Divinity Himself has to demonstrate to the living beings and give them examples , directly or indirectly, of how to utilise life and become a first class  independent enjoyer . First Divinity acts , first Divinity sees , through His unlimited expansions,  then the entity picks up inspiration and follows .

    So, the multidimensional space time entanglements are first enacted by Divinity , this is elaborated upon by Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha,  with that in mind and considering  what Shakespeare said ,” life is like a stage , we are actors ,”  who is to say that , the 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s  and all of  those  inconsequential activities that took place , that are inconsequential when compared to the eternal energies , are not constantly  being played out somewhere within the multidimensional universes . After all, how many planets are in our universe, and according to the Vedas,  there are countless universes .

    The inconceivable energies and consciousness of Divinity have to be accepted as a reality before one can progress in knowledge of Divinity and His workings . One has to admit one is firmly in the grips of His energies…The Darwinian hypothesis has to be shed …Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Divinity , this consciousness is scientifically a fact and much objective calculations  and observations can be made

  • One who sees action in inaction and inaction in action

    Jan 26th, 2026

    As much as Lord Krishna Himself was appearing to act like a ksatriya or a cowhearder but was not entangled in action reactions of karma’s or any of the energies of the material world which are selfishly motivated in one way or another , similarly Krishna’s pure devotees act within this world. Krishna says one who see action in inaction and inaction in action action is situated in knowledge.
    Thus the establishment of the Devi Varna Ashram within societal affairs are trancendental affairs meant to bring about a revolution in the consciousness of mankind ..That is the ultimate mission of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami and all those who help him either within or outside ISKCON….

    Much more on this science soon

  • The already existing

    Jan 26th, 2026

    The correct way to understand how to implement the Vedic societies and their natural systems in an original untainted state , beyond the perversions of smarta  caste consciousness, is to add Krishna consciousness to the already existing social system . The founder Acarya of ISKCON Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say you only have to add Krishna consciousness into the proceedings. Within all societies, there are the intelligentsia  both of the scholarly kind and the spirituality realised kind who understand body, mind and consciousness , they should be the guiding light if they are pure and are expert in understanding every aspect of the Vedas .Also, within societal affairs, we will find good protectors of society who feel for the people and want the best for everyone,  they are warriors and administrators or leaders of mankind , they are “out there ” .

    Naturally, there are business persons who love to turn a profit and can keep economics running nicely , and then we have craftsmen and workers .

    Everyone simply needs to add knowledge of Divinity,  ie , Knowledge of body mind and consciousness,  dualism.

    When the top of society is put right, the rest automatically follows . Social and spiritual mobility is included within the original Varna Ashram system,  which is important. Things get stale and perverted when someone or a particular group of people or even a  society or a  country think of themselves as superior and need no lessons from anyone.

  • The universal size

    Jan 26th, 2026

    540 sextillion miles.

    Says modern science, meaning

    5.4×10235.4 cross 10 to the 23rd power5.4×1023 or 540,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles.

    Modern science assumes the universe three dimensional. However, the Vedas brings in the multidimensional universe , so the measurement of the Vedic universe incorporates things near and yet far , certainly there are red shift anomalies in the calculations of modern science,  as Sadaputa prabhu,  of Dr Richard Thompson mentioned in his book  on Vedic cosmology pointed out , are the stars so far away , on one level maybe , on another level not .

    For instance, only 800 miles above this planet, an  Upadeva planet exist in their particular dimension.

    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. 

    Measurements and Structure 

    • Circumference: Citing the Siddhanta-siromani, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati gave the circumference of this universe as 18,712,069,200,000,000×818 comma 712 comma 069 comma 200 comma 000 comma 000 cross 818,712,069,200,000,000×8 miles.
    • Diameter: The inner part of the universe is described as having a diameter of approximately 5,956,200 crore yojanas (roughly 47,649,600 billion miles), according to traditional interpretations.
    • Enveloping Layers: The universe is not just the inner space but is enveloped by seven material layers—water, fire, air, space, mind, intelligence, and ego. Each layer is ten times thicker than the previous one.
    • Total Size: When accounting for these seven layers, the total diameter is calculated as over 5×10145 cross 10 to the 14th power5×1014 billion miles, which is often interpreted as approximately 90 billion light-years. 

    Perspective on Cosmology 

    • Inconceivable Size: He emphasized that these dimensions are inconceivable to the tiny brain of a human being and cannot be fully measured by human scientists.
    • Innumerable Universes: He highlighted that this universe is considered the smallest among the innumerable universes, which exist in the material creation.
    • Vs. Modern Science: He supported the view of the universe as a round sphere (bhu-mandala) by citing authorities like the Surya Siddhanta, Siddhanta Siromani, and Aryabhata.
    • Purpose of Knowledge: He taught that the ultimate purpose of this knowledge is not mere physical measurement, but to recognize the supreme potency of God (Kṛṣṇa). 

    In summary, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati presented the Vedic view of a very large, layered, and multi-layered universe that is relatively small compared to the total material, and ultimately, spiritual creation. “

  • How to know ….

    Jan 25th, 2026

    Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates in his Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 text 10 that by performing jnana tapasya, one can attain realisations of the eternal nature and appearance of Divinity. One becomes purified by austerity in the form of tolerating the burning poison of wrong ideas  or thinking , wrong logic, and wrong arguments.
    The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have some stalwart scholars amongst them Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Jiva Goswami to begin with and of course Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur and in recent times ,Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami, Srila BR Sridhar Swami and the extremely intelligent and very practical Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami who miraculously brought Krishna consciousness all over the world inspiring and teaching some of his leading disciples…

    Ramanuja acaryas says wise persons give up attachments,  effections or fears, or anger for those who speak nonsensical,  because the wise are throughly absorbed in meditations,  hearing,  chanting and singing and speaking of the glories of Krishna and His associates.

    Material calculations of every kind ….

    Much unthinking

    Mass education in the West is facilitating lots of unoriginal and unthinking persons who follow like sheep or lemmings off a cliff and think the piece of paper they call a degree makes them smart , generally such persons or with even higher degrees or PHD’S step up as government advisors and bring with them their unoriginal and unthinking minds , if we take a look at Western societies and their governance and compliance systems and see the mess they get the world in and how in the sciences they continue to present their unthinking ideas to other unthinking persons in the name of objective sciences, although its not , then its no wonder that Richard Feynman said that you can have a pocket full of PHD’S and still be a complete idiot …

  • Out of nowhere

    Jan 25th, 2026

    Sprung out of nowhere

    Dec 15th, 2025

    Stephen Hawkins thought towards the end of his life that the universe just popped out of some random  quantum and  unspecified field, so perhaps  consciousness is of a similar nature .
    Universes and consciousness are just popping out of anywhere ,he proposed .   Not, of  course , God ,say the atheistic Darwinian or follower of scientific materialism , that’s ” impossible “
    The late and great Sadaputa prabhu joked  about this, saying, ” Here is a point , and here is another point and here another, which one did the universe or consciousness pop out of “
    Of course, indeed, Krishna is within every atom , He is also outside the atom . Everything stems from that very same Krishna, including consciousness. He is the supreme ” point ” we might say.

    Cern ….and the chasing  of particles …..

    The Vedas would indicate that Higgs Boson is just the beginning of a series of smaller and smaller  particles that lead to the ethereal plane . The subtle has an inherant connection to every kind of matter .  Consciousness in conditioned life is attracted and simultaneously attached to matter , in one sense, it’s its cause . God does not manifest matter for his pleasure. it’s for our independence. He does so because we desire to live separately from Him . Krishna’s responsive universe makes all arrangements , ultimately stemming from Him the cause of all causes, mind, matter, but also of  our  pure consciousness , Krishna is a cause of all consciousness who is described in the Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.1 http://www.thevedicspectator.com
