The global snake like world spits out all kinds of poison , it is based on the ruthlessness of the snake who has no thoughts for its victim .This snake is sometimes taken for a rope that ties the whole world together in beneficial ways . It’s similar to the old Gaudia Vaisnava saying that persons in illusion take a snake for a rope .The Harinama Sankirtana movements of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu are utilising this global world because everyone can get the chance to hear the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and begin the chant the names of God , in this way the rope of knowledge will tie the world together in highly beneficial ways and bring the wisdom of scientific dualism to decapitate the snake like illusionists .When one chants the names of God, the Divine potency decends into the heart, and very quickly, one can easily learn to distinguish between the snake and rope .
The original purpose of rope snake analogy is as follows…
In Advaita Vedanta, the snake represents the material world, which is deemed completely illusory (mithya); when you turn on the light of knowledge, the snake vanishes because it never truly existed.
Gaudiya Vaishnava acharyas like Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura ,Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj and AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda strongly challenge this conclusion. They point out that for an illusion to happen, the object being imagined must actually exist somewhere in reality. You can not mistake a rope for a snake unless you already know what a real snake looks like. Therefore, the material world is not a figment of a non-existent imagination; it is a tangible, real manifestation of God’s energy.
In “Wokey Cokey” self centred cultures the general population have to be surrendered and accepting otherwise “you’re toast ” and cancelled , that is the thinking behind the new age philosophies. The aristocratic systems , some say , are similar persons may argue, but the reality is the genuine Aristocratic systems were far more accepting than the “Wokey Cokey ” new age libertine cultures. This is shown in the very broad Vedas and within the eighteen puranas .They teach , each to their own , but with purposes and progressions for cultural development and further awareness of scientific dualism and the systematic sciences of self realisation and self fulfilled lives , the Puranas are designed for purpose and stem from the breathing of Visnu.
Traditions and conserving cultures are the most valuable asset for humanity, they stem ultimately from Divinity Himself and have purposes.
. Mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ [Bg. 9.13].
[O son of Pṛthā, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature. They are fully engaged in devotional service because they know Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, original and inexhaustible.]
Sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ.
bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ
[Bg. 7.19]
[After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.]
After many, many births, when a person is actually wise, jñānavān, perfectly in knowledge… What is that symptom of perfect knowledge? Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti: Kṛṣṇa is everything. That is perfection of knowledge. Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti, prapadyate mām.
The following from Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami
“If I find out somebody supreme, then it is my duty to surrender unto him. Yes. But as soon as I surrender, I become mahātmā, liberal, not miser. Miser is thinking on his own account, “How much I’ll get? How much in my share?” And liberal means he has no more share; everything Kṛṣṇa’s. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ.“
In spiritual life, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja appeared externally to view the majority of people as suspect , or crooked and untrustworthy and only pure Vaisnavas as worth closely associating with with open hearts , those who were perhaps advanced Madhyama Bhaktas or Uttama bhaktas
In his spiritual life, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja maintained an uncompromisingly high standard for spiritual honesty, which heavily influenced , at least externally how he viewed ordinary conditional souls (baddha-jivas) versus advanced devotees (uttama-bhaktas). He frequently used sharp, confrontational language to cut through superficiality and religious hypocrisy. His perspective can be understood through the following key principles .The Material World as a “House of Deceit” Srila Bhaktisiddhanta viewed the material world as a place fundamentally governed by Maya (illusion). Because conditioned souls are driven by the subtle desires for fame (pratistha), wealth (kanaka), and sensual pleasure (kamini), he considered their motivations to be inherently untrustworthy or “crooked” (kapata). From his perspective, anyone not fully surrendered to Krishna is , to some degree, deceiving themselves and others. Guarding Against Bad Association (Asat-Sanga) To protect the tender creeper of devotion (bhakti-lata), he strictly enforced the Vaishnava principle of avoiding asat-sanga (materialistic or deceptive association). He taught that mixing closely with people who are driven by fruitive results (karmis) or mental speculation (jnanis) would contaminate a practitioner’s spiritual focus. Therefore, he viewed the general populace as “suspect” in a spiritual sense—not out of malice, but as a realistic assessment of their potential to divert a devotee from absolute truth . Ultimate Value is in the Uttama-Bhakta , he taught that truth , intimate association (sanga) should be reserved exclusively for pure Vaishnavas. He emphasized that only an Uttama (topmost devotee) is entirely free from duplicity and material motivation. Real spiritual advancement is only possible by serving and listening to the Vaikuntha-rava (the voice of the spiritual world) coming through a transparent, pure representative of God. Close intimacy with anyone less than a pure devotee can invite spiritual compromise or subtle contamination of karma or jnana . Srila Ragganatha das in his manah Siksa also warns of wary association , and lists them , and obstacles that should be avoided. Srila Bhaktisiddanta showed compassion through confrontation ,while his assessment of the general public seemed severe, his inner motivation was profound compassion (jiva-daya). He did not abandon ordinary people; rather, he founded the Gaudia math and deployed massive preaching campaigns to elevate them. He famously asserted that presenting the absolute truth boldly—even if it sounded harsh or offended people’s egoistic sensibilities—was the highest form of kindness, designed to wake souls up from their spiritual slumber.
When Lord Krishna established Yudhishthira on the throne after the battle of Kurukshetra , that one act is very telling . Why is it that Krishna favours the peaceful milk giving cows and the Sattvic Brahminical intelligentsia? It has been clearly described by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. In fact, Bhagavad Gita touches on everything any person would need to know about life and its purposes and benefits. The Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta bring us further details.
It behoves anyone to understand why Krishna did not introduce democracies. Although democracies amongst the educated are no bad thing . We should know what a good leader is and where and how they are leading us and why .If we don’t know these things or don’t understand scientific dualism or the psychological effects that lifestyles can have on individuals , we are likely to vote in a fool , take a look at the world, and urgently pick up the Bhagavad Gita.
Lord Krishna aligned Himself with Yudhishthira and the Pandavas, representing the preservation of Dharma (righteousness) and the empowerment of Sattvic (pure, wise, and harmonious) leadership over Rajasic (passionate, ego-driven) and Tamasic (ignorant, destructive) forces.
Why Krishna Favoured Yudhishthira and the Sattvic Intelligentsia
Yudhishthira was the literal son of Dharmaraja (the deity of justice). Krishna’s primary incarnation goal was Dharma-samsthapanartha (re-establishing righteousness). Supporting Yudhishthira was a direct alignment with cosmic order.
The Sattvic mind seeks truth, balance, and the welfare of all beings. Unlike the Kauravas, who were driven by greed and ambition, the Pandavas and their advisers sought spiritual alignment and ethical governance.
Yudhishthira and the intelligentsia (like Vidura and the sages) consistently sought Krishna’s counsel, placing divine wisdom above political expediency.
Srila Jiva Goswami, in his Bhagavat Sandarbha, speaks of the importance of meditations on the reality of spiritual form , specifically the spiritual forms of God , which are not comprised of atoms , elements or compounds. Wherever Krishna is , so are His associates, He is never alone.
When the constantly strengthening and increasing rivers of the abode of love , Suratarangani Sri Radhe , being churned by the strong currents of feelings of seperation and desires for union , meet with another constantly expanding and tumultuous agitated ocean , who is the object of Her love , Sri Krishna , the two begin to expediently and unlimitedly expand the unlimited oceans of ecstatic spiritual attractions for one another . The waves of this unlimited ocean of trancendental loving affairs Radha Krishna rise and fall, but are also reaching ever new heights and as well sinking to ever increasing depths as unions become separation , and then mysteriously such intense separations transform into union . Prema Vivarta . We should endeavour in our spiritual lives to become very eager to develop and increase our hankering for serving the most exalted Sadhus , “he reasons ill that say that Vaisnavas die when they eternally reside in sound ” and by Sastra sanga, only by their blessing and by the blessings of the present sadhus we may be able to approach in an attitude of service and humility . Radha Krishna and Their associates and activities are elaborated upon by the six Goswami’s , who Mahāprabhu taught .Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami in his class in London on Radhastami in the late 60s informs us we have to understand Krishna in the mood of separation as Srimati Radharani displayed , and as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu demonstrated. Our fixed meditations and increased hankerings and feelings and searchings will make sure the beginnings of any love in our hearts become steady and sturdy . By understanding Srimati Radharani and her position as the ultimate abode of love , within our own hearts some miniscule attraction may be granted to us , by the grace of Her pure devotees. Srimati Radharani and Her companions may bless us , those who we aspire to become the servant of the servant of , our great param para acaryas, and only by their blessing will our aspirations increase more and more . Our taste for hearing about the spiritual realms and our interests to serve Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu wishes and assist in some way in spreading the Sankirtana movements will increase. Glorious activities of every kind can increase if we follow the instructions of those who represent properly Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His instructors the six Goswami’s headed by Sri Rupa and Ragganatha Goswami’s. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say, “Don’t love Dog love God … Don’t get your life and love mixed up and reversed ….
This process of thinking of Krishna , His name , His form, and pastimes will enable , in time , the living being to acquire a spiritual form , through the Sankirtana movement and Chanting of the Holy names , the whole of Vrndavana decends , Hare Krishna means Radha Krishna, and a desire to serve and bring Them together.
Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me…
How to surrender the mind in Krishna consciousness was practically demonstrated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami in his Bhagavad Gita , Srimad Bhagavatam, and Caitanya Caratamrita purports explain all . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
When Divinity comes to this plane of existence , the earthly plane , bearing in mind the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall accepts , and the Vedas confirm multidimensional universes within space time are in existence.
God, or Krishna or Visnu, has unlimited names that’s because of the unlimited activities and unlimited cultures throughout universal existence where He appears . But He is never alone , He is always accompanied by His associates and devotees who assist Him to reestablish principles of religion as well as exhibiting activities of His personal abode , inconceivably a spiritual realm decends within a material realm .
Sri Balarama is the first manifested expansion of Krishna , He is considered His older brother , in trancendental terms , and is always in a service mood towards Krishna , which is enriched with an unlimited love and appreciation .
He serves Krishna in all five relationships , as a friend and servant , as a parental protector , and He even serves as Radharani’s younger sister, Ananga Manjari . He also serves in the abodes of Vaikuntha in neutrality , manifesting all kinds of trancendental paraphernalia.
These multiple truths regarding Balarama, who is also the originator Guru , and as such manifests and inspires as the unlimited Siksa and Diksa Gurus . He directly or indirectly guides the lost souls , who wonder in unlimited universes , universes that are actually manifested by Himself . Why ? to facilitate the independent spirit of the Jivas . When Balarama detects in the individuals , having expanded Himself into many , an independent spirit , they come under His other expanded forms and are injected into the material energies because they desire to be independent enjoyers . Thus, Balarama grants independence and free will, and Krishna , the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, is unlimitedly facilitating it .
Balarama originally expands to bring further pleasure to Krishna , Krishna is unlimited , and He can unlimitedly reciprocate and share His love and existence. That is clearly explained in the Srimad Bhagavatam.
Balarama also comes in current times as Nityananda prabhu and takes up the service to rescue and perform relief work . In doing so , Nityananda prabhu exhibits the highest meaning of the word magnanimity by distribution of the highest of spiritual truths .The truths of the secrets of the trysting grounds of Vraj , wherein the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani reigns as Supreme in Her love and services to Krishna . Nityānanda prabhu and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu bring us all the full glory of Srimati Radharani , indeed She cannot be understood fully without Them . In this way , the highest of truths and the highest exhibitions of love within the spiritual kingdoms are delivered to the lowest and degraded souls of this age through Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu.
When Nityananda prabhu saw Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu dancing and exhibiting the love of Srimati Radharani at the Rathayatra festival in Puri ,He was astounded, and He fell flat on the floor, offering obeisances , realising the presence of Srimati Radharani within Mahaprabhu . Thus , Nityananda or Balarama has also distributed this Parakiya rasa Tattva and understands its purposes. Balarama expands as Ananga Manjari and assists Her older Sister Srimati Radharani in multiple services to please Krishna along with the other Manjaris
Socialism in every respect is the Vedic way , its a system of governance that produces social and spiritual mobility based on the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings and their individual rights . The original varna ashram should be referenced , based on a persons qualities and not just a birth .
The Vedic intelligentsia see to it that education and opportunities are readily available , the highly cultured always like to share their good fortune . The greatest of cultures act like that . The worst do the opposite setting, cheating, and deceit as standard and silencing truth .In current times, we are led by the leaders of the so-called ” free world,” which is a deceit in itself . At times , in every historic culture, the intelligentsia are challenged by those of lower grade consciousness . The best of men and ladies must be educators because the best of the best of life’s opportunities must be taught in society to everyone , scientific dualism and honesty particularly in regards to objective sciences must lead the way , as well as ethics , morality and fair dealing based of the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings before Divinity. Lower consciousness and lower lifestyles can be facilitated but should be carefully administered , and they are not to lead society or set examples for everyone to follow. The Vedas covers all practical topics in life. For instance, it allows for honest , free market economics that are primarily locally based , with only the essentials imported with each of the leaders prioritising their own countries’ needs and the citizens’ needs .Global conglomerates and libertine monopolies are not healthy for anyone. The Vedas encourage countries to depend on themselves , and not become overly dependent on other nations , who in this day and age exploit and even create wars for benefits. Governments should never lose independence or be centralised by other nations. Capitalism today is sold as free market economics , but it is not so , monopolies are the global conglomerates’ strategies , they want everyone to depend on them and they set the rules , the political classes are their pups. The political narratives led by the global libertines are cheating the public and other leaders of countries. They say that their capitalism is creating wealth for all the world and lifting it out of poverty , quite the opposite. The truth is that nature provides everything for every creature , every one is fed , clothed, and housed and live happily when they remain closely aligned to natures ways and relying on localised economies and localised workforces and under the intelligentsia , who must control the out of control political classes , who surrender to conglomerate power .
Worldwide trading has become so ludicrous that someone in the UK exports popcorn to the USA . A person buying his bread in the UK has it brought by a lorry hundreds of miles away from his hometown , and the wheat is imported from a country thousands of miles away . The major financial systems have become far too centralised and monopolised . The stock and currency markets, as well as worldwide commodities market and currency markets, have been designed to suit a few insiders and are clearly corrupted by insider information . The world is so very, very far from free markets . Central government allows light touch regulations , and plenty of instant internet trading goes on with shares rising or falling in micro seconds. For those who actually monopolise such markets, they are doing very nicely, thank you . They effectively have centralised capitalism and worldwide financial industries . These crooked fellows are working with unintelligent and crooked governments , and between them are controlling capitalism lock stock and barrel. This currupt system has been sold as the idea greed is good and that the benefits of greed will trickle down to everyone all over the world. The reality is entirely different . Such ruthless capitalism benefits the most greedy of persons at the cost of the environment . It causes unfair trade deals , and it causes poverty and wars, with every country fighting over limited resources that will inevitably run dry in time. Such unfortunate worldwide situations are instigated by the capitalist and their political freinds , who they sponsor. Currently, these demons are desperate for precious minerals and precious earth , essential for computer science. The unthinking capitalists should never have a free run and have any influence in politics. Rather, the Vedic societies were thankful for money makers , who built economies , but they were legislated against and controlled . When encroachments were seen to be happening in Vedic cultures, any circumstances , immediately it was halted . The communist idea was utilised in Vedic culture but only in the sense of the equality of all beings , and also a truth that ultimately everything is the property of God . Everything needs to be used in harmonious ways . At the same time, ownership was encouraged, but along with sensitivities and care , greed and encroachments and unnecessary harm were a no no . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani serves and worships on many different levels the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna . Her love and attraction is executed purely spontaneously with an increasing love and a high degree of knowledge and respect . Srimati Radharani or Her expansions as Laxmi devi or the Queens if Dwarka do not serve and love Krishna out of fear or lack of knowledge of His qualities, rather they serve Him because of all His qualities of goodness, God is all good and they know it well .We must seek the blessings of the Srimati Radharani who expands in Her many forms and clearly follow Her example , and understand why She never leaves the side of Krishna. She is the source of good fortune, and ultimately, the trancendental knowledge, wealth, and beauty that permeate the highest spiritual planes , and that is somewhat reflected within the material realms . If the Supreme Goddess of Fortune is forever attracted to the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna, why would we not be ? The ignorant misunderstands the good or misrepresent the good ,in their warped consciousness good is bad and bad is good .We require the blessings of the good to understand good and to protect us from ignorance and those the bring us harm .
When one loses touch with absolute truth , other truths quickly and inevitably slide into a continual decline, spiralling faster and further into the oblivion of deceit . Association is important. If one intimately associates with those who live a life of denial of truths, then crookedness becomes readily accepted and becomes part of a life , untruths become the norm . It is the nature of the illusory energy of Divinity that untruths can be accepted as truth, and truth is viewed as untruths. The material universes facilitate and award the 8,400,000 different species where the unlimited myriads of untruths can be lived out . This means the denial of Divinity, who is the great provider . Deceit needs to be lived out in less harmful ways at times , animal kingdoms serve such purposes . Truth has declined so much in current times that any man who is speaking truth is ridiculed or silenced by crooked contollers who come in many disguises. It can be called cancel culture . In this world, persons who are speaking lies are glorified and practically worshipped as truthful visionaries. Current algorithmic processes and Ai assisted technologies assist the dishonest greatly , their webbs of lies and propaganda infiltrate everything. History , culture, philosophy, and political and scientific explanations are going to be twisted in particular ways, and after generations , truth will slip further and further into oblivion this is their plans , propaganda on an industrial scale . The most cooked of persons who together snatch the worlds recourses , pay very good money to anyone who will repeat their lies and deceit . One becomes the servant of the “devil ” . And with algorithms deliberately set to favour untruths, the rascals and demoniac see to it that things will work in their favour and the unthinking public are easily fooled . Welome to the world where fools have voted in fools .. and where the Godless reign. To understand absolute truth, one’s lordship of matter and argumentations against absolute truth should be reversed . Logic and objective sciences should be naturally accepted . One of the greatest untruths is Darwinian hypothesis and scientific materialism . These are guessing and speculative ,however, they are presented as absolute truth . These particular untruths are the foundations of our global conglomerate material world and its politics of ruthless explotation . Disrespect of others and of their particular cultures are promoted by demons because they want to exploit their countries . Acceptance and adoption of a humility of heart should be accepted along with a wholesome respect for all beings . It’s a self-evident truth , an equality of consciousness , although each conscious being is in different circumstances and different bodies . Compassionate thoughts are the symptoms of truth as well as a natural detachment , and a lack of encroachments , accompanied by a lack of greed . Peace within the heart will always be found for those who live in truth , then at that stage, the beginnings of a relationship with Divinity can be underway . Truth and faith in absolute truth carries one a very , very long way . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The liberation of the Bhattacarya Madhya lila chapter 6 .
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continued, “When the Supreme Personality of Godhead wished to become many, He glanced over the material energy. Before the creation there were no mundane eyes or mind; therefore the transcendental nature of the Absolute Truth’s mind and eyes is confirmed.
Purport
In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad (6.2.3), it is said, tad aikṣata bahu syāṁ prajāyeya. This statement confirms the fact that when the Supreme Personality of Godhead wishes to become many, the cosmic manifestation arises simply by His glancing over material energy. It may be noted that the Supreme Lord glanced over the material nature before the creation of this cosmic manifestation. Before the creation there were no material minds or material eyes; therefore the mind by which the Supreme Personality of Godhead desired to create is transcendental, and the eyes with which He glanced over material nature are also transcendental. Thus the Lord’s mind, eyes and other senses are all transcendental.
End of purport ..Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada..
Srila Jiva Goswami brings us this
Chāndogya Upaniṣad (6.2.3) Jiva Goswami purports within the Tattva Sandarbha say its the jivas that wanted to be independent of God , originating from the Tatastha sakti, and thus they were glanced into matter . The material energies are a facility that Maha Visnu provides . The deeper theological framework explained by Srila Jiva Goswami in his commentaries—specifically within the Ṣaṭ-Sandarbhas—regarding Vedic creation with aphorisms like Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.2.3. While the literal text of the verse reads tad aikṣata bahu syāṁ prajāyeyeti—meaning “That Existence [the Supreme] glanced and willed, ‘May I become many’“—Jīva Gosvāmī clarifies the underlying reason for this glance. The philosophical mechanics behind this concept are broken down below The Lord’s Glance ,in Gaudiya Vaishnava theology, the Supreme Lord does not have material desires or a need to create bondage for anyone. When He glances (aikṣata) over the material energy (prakṛti) at the dawn of a new cosmic cycle, it is a response to the dormant states of the living entities , the Free Will of the Jīva . The jīvas belong to the Lord’s marginal potency (taṭasthā-śakti). Because they possess a minute amount of independence, some jīvas harbor a desire to experience life separate from, or independent of, the Supreme Lord . The Dormant Desires: At the time of cosmic dissolution (pralaya), these unliberated souls rest unconsciously within the body of Mahā-Viṣṇu with their material desires unfulfilled. When the Lord says “May I become many,” He is willingly expanding His energies to facilitate those jīvas who wanted an independent field of activity. Therefore, the Lord’s glance is the nimitta-kāraṇa (efficient cause) that activates the material elements, but it is the individual jīva’s choice that places them into the material world. The Lord simply acts as the compassionate supervisor, providing a material playground for the soul’s independent desires to be played out and, ultimately, exhausted .
One could well ask oneself the origins of the living beings. These above descriptions describes the living beings receiving material bodies , and the glance appears to award material bodies that give the impression that living beings have become many independent enjoyers . However, before the glance spoken about, where did they come from ? There are records in the Vedas of cyclic glances , during the creation , maintenance and destructions of universes . One can further consider before the cyclic cycles, where did the jiva come from ? Maha Sankarsana and Mula Sankarsana should be referenced , They are expansions of Lord Balarama. Lord Balarama is the originator of the expansions of the Jivas , and Balarama is the first expansion of Krishna. Maha Visnu is an expansion of Maha Sankarsana. Maha Visnu is serving a purpose to fulfil the desire of some living beings , who do not want to , or do not feel , at least yet , a spontaneous attraction to associate in love with Krishna and His friends lovers and family. Srila BR Sridhar Swami indicates that that the tatasta jivas who are glanced into matter are from the Brahman, those jivas who immediately feel spontaneous love and attraction enter immediately into the spiritual realms ,their origins being Maha Sankarsana. So some jivas from Maha Sankarsana come within the glance of Mahavisnu , and are caught up in the cyclic universe cycle of creation , maintenance and destruction.
So some jivas come to the material atmosphere, some immediately to the spiritual realms and others hover in an indecisive state in Brahman , one might say ..
