Within or manifested ….. in the absolute truth, they  are considered one and different simultaneously.

Some followers of the Vedas overly emphasize the oneness or overly emphasize the difference between God and His expansions , both His direct expansions and the jivas , the living entities.

In absolute terms, something within  or something external is of the same nature ,  one could say we are eternal because we come from the eternal .  Although we have always been , as much as Divinity has , because of His unlimited potential, some  potential is  manifested externally and some yet to be . God has no limit .

Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama are one and different from  Krishna, but they are directly expanded from Krishna. In one sense ,  all the incarnations of God are , but they are also the  expansions of other expansions . From one lit  candle, many lit candles can come as the Vedic example tells us .

As the jiva has always been  and , of course, so has Radharani and Balarama, being the direct expansions  from the  original  personality of Godhead Himself , we must know  Jiva is not  , everyone is one and different from God . The other incarnations of Godhead expand from Balarama and, from him, many other expansions from those  expansions , its from an expansion of Balarama that brings forth the Jivas . Nevertheless , ultimately, everything stems  from the unlimited potency of Krishna Himself .  Such varigatedness featuring expansions and other multifarious energies that are ever expanding in bliss and  knowledge in the spiritual kingdoms , or forever covering those who will not accept His position in the material worlds . Srila Jiva Goswami, the  great Vedic scholar  describes this as the  simultaneous one and difference of God , and He is  making the impossible possible,  and who can argue with that.

Space time and the changes to your destined space.

Space time.

We can say one’s consciousness along with its activites from the past effects our  present . The present will certainly effect our  future , including the long distant future , however, destinations and destinies can be changed . What should have effected us because of the past , in  present times , may not do so . The conclusion is our  present activities can change what was  going to be due from our past ,  won’t necessarily happen . Equally , our  future activities can still be affected by both our long distant past as well as our present activity.  Or the future will be  predominantly affected by only the recent  past and not a long distant past . In this way, the past , present, and future and our conscious actions are  deeply entangled within space time . Its only our consciousness and the choices it makes and who it follows that cause all activities within spacetime or their influence can be  reversed or halted . Thus, the Vedic veiw is Einstein was correct to say past , present and futures are intertwined ,  we can by our activites effect the past , but not necessarily step back into the past.  However, because the material universes are cyclic, they  are created maintained and destroyed time and time again , who is to say that history is not repeating itself over and over again but with some slight variations.  It’s the modes of nature that are  functional goodness,  passion, and ignorance with practically unlimited consequences Bhagavad Gita indicates. No one can stop doing something for a moment. The main recommendation is … dont get entangled in all parts of the Vedas , but only the Bhakti yoga sastras .Rise above the material aspects of the Vedas .

Humans , animals, and all of the species are not visible before their birth , they do however exist in their subtle form awaiting for the new arrangement of the atoms , elements and compounds to programme themselves accordingly . The information for the selection process is contained within ones previous attachments in subtle form and within particular karmic synchronicities , and then its devolved into mattee , the Divine algorithms easily do their work, as much as Ai easily brings forth informations exchanges, and automatically the responsive universe awards similarly minded persons, or sometimes enemies to become parents or relatives.
The Srimad Bhagavatam makes these matters clear…

We would hasten to add the many possibilities of quantum physics and the work of Bohr and Schrödinger who studied the Vedas to an extent parallels the Bhagavad Gita’s teachings .

Matter responds to consciousness in many, many ways , some obvious some not so .

In the Vedas Jnana yoga means to intelligently acquire knowledge, and Sankhya means to apply the knowledge with thoughtfulness  and discernment accordingly and in different stages of life or different situations and time periods .

The fanatical unthinking religionists lack sankhya and discernment

It’s said by the great spiritual teachers that Vrndavana is not a geographical place situated somewhere in India but in real terms its a state of mind , Holy places from every culture can be regarded as the same .

Equally, the vibration of God’s names can either be truely spiritual or heavily tinged with materialism .

The world we see around us can either be seen as God intended us to see it, or we can view it independently..

The thief looks at your money one way. The honest person sees it honestly.

The fact is, Holy Lands are sacred because either God Himself or His pure representatives act there , they decend from their higher planes and spiritual activities are eternally manifested,  but to connect with them one requires to develop spiritual consciousness . The Holy names of God have God fully present within them , but one must develop the proper attitudes to come before God . The Christians sing all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small , but to see these  connections to God, one requires devotion.

The man of miserly consciousness or the theif requires rectification then and only then will the real benefit of approach of Divinity and the outcome of widom be gained . Because God is all merciful, as are His devotees coming in touch with them in any way, they have benefit spiritually.

Even materially you can have the Bible , Koran, Torah or Bhagavad Gita in your room , but if you don’t read them or follow their instructions a little benefit will be there , but your consciouseness and attitudes needs to change , in doing so Krishna says,  you will see Me in everything and everything in Me. Ultimately, when one is a pure devotee, one can enter and understand the spiritual world even whilst supposing to have a material body .

Put cold iron in fire , and it’s transformed into fire .

Unless one seriously practices developed of a spiritual form and indentify, he or she will remain attached to a material one .

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates in his purport of Bhagavad Gita 1.11 ,
that Arjuna thought Dharma  sastra ( duties ) were more important than Artha sastra ( political considerations  ). However, Krishna indicated  above both are the Jnana Sastra , * (development of philosophical and spiritual widom ) and was in this case  more important,  indicating to Arjuna that with this Jnana Sastra , Krishna would be able   to solve the ultimate problem of Arjuna . The problem of  forgetting his ultimate relationship with God and putting the plans of mere mortals above the plan and wishes of everyone’s ultimate well wisher , Lord  Krishna.
The Artha sastra indicates how political structure should operate , but such structure must also have elements of  Dharma . If those who practice politics discard Dharma, they should be rejected. Ultimately, jnana helps one understand Dharma and Artha sastra . Jnana, also when linked with Bhakti, takes one to the  trancendental knowledge of Krishna… and ultimately to spontaneously loving Divinity .

Certainly, in today’s society, we see a vast array of conflicting views on what should be correctly viewed as justified and fair political structures . Also  what should be regarded as commitment to duties and responsibility in family and social relationships . We can also say  with the introduction of subjective sciences wherein speculations are accepted as fact based science and best guessing is  held in high asteem , and  with logic with rationale appearing to take second place , things are  going a little off track to say the least when it come to bone fide methods of  aquiring knowledge through jnana .

The original Vedas, which are eternal , in other words pure knowledge is always present , it  stems  from Divinity Himself, and its His responsibility to give it in various forms , through His representatives , the honest intelligentsia, and within the differeng fields of Sastra .  As such, it brings the proper balance , integration ,  and applications of Artha sastra,  Dharma sastra, jnana sastra, and Bhakti ( devotional) sastra within society .  Without the guidance and knowledge of the essential fundermentals  required for human existence which brings  purposeful and progressive lives  based on dualism, we are simply decending into sophisticated animals who fight over territories and live for one life of sense gratification , like a street dog , with  philosophical outlooks and the arts which  open hearts ,  neglected or ignored .

Selection and selector

The Darwinians suppose life is somehow and automatically selecting best options , this can be said somewhat true in regards to microevolution . Due to environmental changes , the fittest automatically survives,  that’s common sense .However ….selection caused by environmental changes and unguided mutations causing macro speciation remains subjective guessing , the evidence is absent.  Selection means a selector and dna codes are automatically doing selecting , the real question should be what is the origin of the codes and information.
The only thing going on in a  body construction throughout all  the species is that molecules are  moving towards the construction of a body  in a highly organised way with the use of  a script .
A car plant with robotics is the example.
The robots are selecting action using the computer programme on a mass scale . In the  Darwinian hypothoisis model , we can say  monkeys are randomly bashing away on keys and producing a perfect script .….life is never going to work that way ….how foolhardy are the Darwinians to ignore the obvious script of dna .
Observing objectively is something someone does using truth , logic, and discernment. A speculative person with pre concieved ideas person can not do so .  A thief  can not observe someone’s money objectively. He thinks it can be his .
The honest person genuinely sees intelligent design everywhere .

The vedas define that the fundermentals of intelligence begin when one’s intelligence understands mater and spirit or consciousness , this is what is called  dualism .Consciousness and matter are two entirely different substances .
This  is the beginning of a real and beneficial intelligence , anything outside of it is currupted intelligence or speculation. With the world raving about Ai, this all-important calculation should be included within it , if not many of the options offered and calculations made are originating from false premises .

“Perverted intelligence” in a  spiritual context within  religions like Jainism or  Hinduism , Christianity, etc , describes a distorted or misguided understanding that will  hinder spiritual progress. In a psychological and social sense, it can describe an individual who uses high intelligence for harmful, unethical, or socially disruptive purposes.

If self selection and self-preservation are at the heart of the Darwinian hypothesis, one could ask why does man live shorter lives than whales or the  giant tortoise. Nobody wants to die …..

“Darwinian self-preservation is a core component of natural selection, where individuals best adapted to their environment have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, passing on advantageous traits to their offspring. “Self selection” isn’t a precise term in evolutionary theory but likely refers to the inherent drive for organisms to favor traits and behaviors that enhance their own survival and reproduction, leading to the differential success of advantageous variations within a population over time. “

In reality, no one knows why ageing affects different beings differently. Look at the redwood tree .
The tree is living as much as man is living .
The scientific community are clueless about  the mysterious circumstances that surround time and life , but they  like to convince children and the beguiled public that they are masters of knowledge.

Unfortunately with social and a mainstream media 95% of people are taught what to think instead of how , and its getting worse .

One needs to aquire the means  to identify truth .

Although morals , ethics , philosophy , theological sciences as well as clear objective sciences are essential in helping us  to access truthfulness, we also need to check our own  motivations . Are we sincere searchers for truth .
A sincere searcher for truth becomes truthful and honest about their own flaws and weaknesses , an honest assessment of oneself is useful because truth is attracted to those who are honest , the possitive is attracted to the negative . Humility is the first point of knowledge. One of the symptoms of truth is to see the true equality of every living being and become their well wisher .
There are many other symptoms of truth , such as not to encroach on others territories everyone has their lot , and  they deserve it , and we should be in the minxd to preserve it .

Purely translated theological texts from every culture chime in the same way , as do good philosophical thoughts . Dont let anyone get in your way to understand truth and thoughtfulness , find a truely honest teacher who have the symptoms of truthfulness, and apply their teachings truthfully .

The vedic way ..

No question of in or out .

Heaven or hell

But rather prescribed methods of many different regulations for persons either in ignorance, in passion , in goodness , or who have transcended material living .

The Vedas teach in very practical ways that everyone can live with purpose . The outsider may look in without understanding the variables of the Vedas and how everyone is catered for
The progressive march of social and spiritual mobility for everyone is the Vedic way.

To understand truth , first understand the untruthful.
When you understand the untruthful and the qualities they have and their Modus operandi , from that point you can test the truth , the truth is self evident to the person who lives in truth .
There is no American truth , British truth ,Chinese truth, or Indian truth , truth is truth and truth comes along with beauty and harmony.
The Vedas list the four types of persons who can not surrender to truth and the five types of irreligious persons , some of whom claim affiliation to religion .
We live in the material world , and it begins with deceit , illusion, and ignoring truth .
Nevertheless, the truth and the absolute truth can be accessed by those who are seeking absolute truth . Once one thing is known in truth , everything is known

I believe the most important messages of Rathayatra are not only the internal reasons , those that, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda prabhu have revealed to the world  , and that have been understood by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who has established the Rathayatra festival all over the world . The external reasons also  are  just as important,  for instance, pulling the rope of the Rath, signifying that one is  beginning to pull Lord Krishna into ones own  heart , bringing  an offering of  devotional service to  Krishna .  Everyone can get the benefit of serving and seeing the Lord on the day of Rathayatra , some persons are forbidden to enter the temple ordinarily.
Further celebrations and meanings of The Rathayatra are calculated by Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas as the internal reasoning of the Lord in Mathura. As Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati says , in his Caitanya Caratamrita comment,  Lord KRISHNA again wanted to taste the parakiya rasa of the Gopies of Vraja .
So He leaves Mathura to go to Vrndavana, the gardens at Gondicha remind him of Vrndavana, and the Puri Temple is  like Mathura .
Ultimately, we know , on another level, that the Rathayatra festival represents Mahaprabhu understanding  and relishing Srimati Radharani’s mood of unparalleled love , Mahaprabhu is relishing that love  as well as  distributing it to one and all . Srila Prabhupada ISKCON movement is directly distributing this same rasa at all the world’s Rathayatra festivals and is giving the most fallen a chance to pull the ropes of the Rath and begin to pull Krishna into their lives as well as to witness and hear the chanting of Hare Krishna by the devotees brought to  them by Krishna’s pure devotee Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
The mood of intense separation as well as a prospective  union of  Srimati Radharani at  Kurukshetra with Krishna is represented at the Rathayatra . At this meeting, Srimati Radharani invites Lord Krishna  to ” return ” with Her to Vrndavana . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur says it is displaying Srimati Radharani at Her most desperate moments.
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur desired to reside in Kurukshetra because the greatest service is done to someone when they most need it …He as Kamala Manjari wanted to assist Srimati Radharani in these desperate times .
So, Srila Prabhupada following in Mahaprabhu’s and Nityananda mood is distributing this Parakiya rasa to everyone worldwide , and that is transcendentally inconceivable.

The Babajis and traditional Brahminical men of India are due every respect, but they do not understand the preaching mood of Prabhupada or Nityananda…sometimes they complain that Rathayatra should be only on one occasion and only in Puri .ISKCON should not extend it worldwide .
That’s OK….we are not all extensively preaching…
Each to their own ….and we respect their sentiments.
But we respectfully disagree because the Vaiṣṇavas find newer and newer meanings to applications of Sastra, and both the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta are forever expanding such is the power and purity of Mahaprabhu’s devotees

From the Vedic perspective, we can chime with those who advocate traditional theological cultures and family traditions, things that both Putin and Kirk advocate in their ways.
But equally, the Vedic students understand the principles of non-violence. The Vedic students are strict vegetarians , but putting that to one side , any Christian, Hindu ,Muslim or Jew who is not calling out Netenyaho as a murderous tyrant is seriously misguided in their approach to scriptures .
Defending ones homeland in legitimate warfare is obviously necessary, and the rules of war are in the Vedas as well as international laws .
Putin warned Nato not to move on to his borders , the geopolitical scholars know he had legitimate concerns , and its a Nato led lie that he wanted to invade the whole of Ukraine.
What Netenyaho is doing is unacceptable by any sane man’s reckoning, the history of the middle east is clear to legitimate scholars Palestinians have rights , that Israel have been systematically taking away from them ,and international law know it .
The USA and ISRAEL Zionist movements are not God’s work .
Rather the work of the politically currupt who have infiltrated the democratic and religious world, they are ruthless business men who will stop at nothing, even when brought to international courts they will never admit truth , they live by deceit and barefaced lies , not an ounce of truth is found in them .Bhagavad Gita gives the run down on the mind of such persons. .

The Vedic way..

By tapasya and austerity ones intelligence and thoughtfulness increase , a thoughtful person can begin to see the obvious intelligently arranged world they live in and understands their own limitations , in doing so they surrender themselves intelligently to the process given to them by previous great thinkers and philosophers of devotion who have left the path clearly marked out .
By following that path, they feel within himself great gains that can be corroborated by other saints, other Gurus, and by bone fide theological texts .
The epistemological Vedic system, along with the etymology of the saints who understand scriptures and their meaning and produce the Smriti .sastra will be revealed .

Most importantly in current time the process of chanting the Holy names of the Lord , the Maha Mantra , as given by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the acaryas is the means by which the widom of the Guru Sadhu and Sastra are properly revealed, Krishna reveals them , He is fully present along with the spiritual kingdom in His name .

The process of successful chanting is also given by Mahaprabhu, who has left us eight all-important verses to comprehend and act out in this regard.

The Vedic way is for all persons to connect with Divinity through the peripheral or cor teachings that are set out in the Artha sastra,  the Dharma sastra , the Jnana sastra and the Bhakti Sastra , everyone fits and the systematic proggressions are quite natural.  It is Krishna’s wish that everyone takes advantage of good teachers in all the various departments of wisdom that offer social and spiritual mobility.
