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.

More on this later .

The general principles of the Vedic societies are that specific persons with specific qualifications , realisations , or  skill sets in specific areas that are inherant within them since birth , due to previous lives , are brought out and perfected by further  education as well as  association , they will all take up differing roles within society quite naturally . Administrative posts , business enterprise , crafts and practical skills, and finally persons with theological or theosophy  liking as well as philosophical leanings .
The percentages, according to the Vedas , of people fitting particular roles remain very steady right throughout all societies historically,  and indeed, this  is objectively seen .
In order for societal cohesion  it’s very important,  and Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita ,  that a  particular type of person with particular qualities are suited for a specific roles in society , and persons  should not take up someone else’s duties , as that will lead to an imbalance.

For instance, a businessman is a profit driven man , and he will not be able to consider the multifarious needs of the population nor  the creatures that live within the countryside.

However, the man with greater vision , an administrator , will understand those needs , and still further, another man , the philosophical and theological , will understand much greater aspects of humanities and the  creatures  needs in terms of the individual consciousness , in the human case , along with philosophical developments , and the environment needs of creatures . A  bigger picture and the  greater questions of  life are understood by great thinkers , God always sees to it that such persons live alongside , they give the best directions.

Without having the right persons influences in the key positions , society becomes unbalanced and unsteady and unproductive . Greater ignorance of the  key values and intolerance increases,  essential knowledge as well as all-around education becomes stifled .  The all important intelligentsia who have everyone’s interest at heart are silenced or pushed out  , either by , political operators,  fanatical religionists , or ultra Liberalists  driven by  business  conglomorates who favour scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis .  Unfortunately, they own and control much of the mainstream and social media ,they also spend money to fix  legislation their way  with the help of political allies . The results have been a widespread teaching of subjective scientific speculations as fact based science to children . Children should be taught critical thinking,  not just what to think .

The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam give in-depth details of the Vedic societies makeup and different people’s qualities for  various occupational activities. Not specifically by birthright but inherant qualities within.  Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has translated them to English.

The above is from Srila Jiva Goswami tattva  Sandarbha.

When one actually comes in touch with truth all truths are understood , nothing stands outside of the truth. The truth is all inclusive for all time,  for all beings ,and in all places and truthful persons from every culture or indeed any part of the universe, will be able to fully relate and understand truth happily together .

A person of truth includes everyone in their realisation of truth , in their effection, and in their  care for all beings .  Indeed , in the Vedas, it says from Lord Bramha the  engineer of this universe down to the tiny insect , are all parts and parcels of the Supreme absolute truth who has expanded Himself,  but has not diminished in the slightest . The purpose of His expansions is to increase His pleasure, and the truth lies in reciprocating with the Absolute truth . When one actually  properly and with knowledge reciprocates with the absolute truth, every relative truth will be understood, and every living thing can be  properly respected and harmonized with . Nothing can be separate from truth , everything having a connection with it , even the absence of truth is connected with the absolute truth , the Vedas call it maya the world of selfish deceit and illusions.

What to think ?
How to think ?

The priorities …..

The Vedic culture clearly gives priority to ones main problem,  birth , death , old age decease. As well as the inflicted misery of nature,  the mind or other brings .

It teaches both what to think and how to think with logic and rationale . Whilst all the while  utilising objective sciences and lessons drawn from nature .

The Vedas encourages us to learn what are good qualities and good characteristics in people and how to recognise those who are truthful and who have the capability to vibrate Sabdha pure vibration.

If there is God , naturally He has rationale and has many means to guide and inform everyone of how to commune with Him .

The Vedas clearly and deliberately lays out these methods, which differ according to the time span of a universe and state of a specific individual at a set time of their lives .

AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada in Conversation..
Vedabase .

Garden Conversation with Professors
Type: Conversation
Dated: June 24th 1975
Location: Los Angeles
Audio file: 750624GC.LA.mp3..

Prabhupāda: …which is fact? The dreams and phases of different life while passing through, they are facts or I am fact? What is your answer? We are teaching that you take care of the fact, not of the dreams. That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. That is the beginning of Bhagavad-gītā = dehino ‘smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā, tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ [Bg. 2.13]. We are changing circumstances. The circumstances are not fact, but the whole world is taking care of the circumstances, not of the sheer fact. This is the defect of modern civilization. We are very much serious about the passing-on circumstances, but we are not serious about the person who is going through the circumstances. This is the whole defect of modern civilization. And that is the beginning of real life. If we take care of the circumstances, that is being done by the cats and dogs and hogs—everyone. Where to find eatables, where to find sex, where to find shelter for sleeping, and how to defense—these circumstances are understood by the animals. There is no need of education. Just like this morning I pointed out, the bird is catching a small fish, “fut!” He knows where to find out his eatable. And that you cannot do. You also eat fish, but you jump over and take a fish, you cannot do that. But he can do that. He is more expert than you. [guests chuckle]

Everything is connected to Divinity, and  Divinity is connected to everything ..

It’s a question of utilising and identifying honest intelligentsia . One who directly understands the simple principle of an equality of all living beings . Who know how to direct people  both in terms of their  social mobility and education as well as progressive culture of inner spiritual consciousness . The vedas have its  most simply forms that the broad  Vedas outline , what can be termed as peripherals but also highly esoteric forms that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has discussed with Ramananda Roy .  Various objective sciences are given  within the Vedas  as well as explanations to the many social structures, all of which are beneficial and can be linked to the best of wisdom. Free market economics as opposed to cheating greedy economics are essentially discussed . Philosophical positions, along with their specific explanations, are clearly elucidated  within varied theological cultures . Ultimately,  the Param Gatim , the pefection in understanding who  the supreme personality of God is and how to enter into a loving relationship is the final goal set .
Leaders in every field must be of quality , a businessman man has business interests , that is good , but leadership of people’s best interests are beyond the understanding of the business men . The all-around all-encompassinging persons who have broad visions of religion , politics ,and philosophical matters , the Vedas say, are those who speak with” Sabdha”  , realised truth . The truthful and the honest attracts truth as well as the absolute truth .

Prabhupāda: “Our culture, our Vedic culture, is on religion, on God consciousness, everything. The whole social structure, political structure, philosophical structure, scientific structure, everything is aiming on Viṣṇu. Tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūraya. Viṣṇu, God. And in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa it is said,
varṇāśramācāra-vatā
puruṣeṇa paraḥ pumān
viṣṇur ārādhyate [panthā]
nānyat tat-toṣa-kāraṇam
[Cc. Madhya 8.58]
So our cultural aim, Vedic cultural aim, is tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ. How to satisfy Him. But they do not know about Viṣṇu. They have forgotten Viṣṇu. Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇuṁ [SB 7.5.31].
Our self-interest is there in Viṣṇu. Na te viduḥ. These foolish men, they do not know. Durāśayā bahir-artha-māninaḥ. They are uselessly hoping that they will be able to adjust things by material advancement ”

Oh, what a tangled webb He weaves and how we like to deceive….. ourselves

The three modes of material nature are Krishna’s external energies , He speaks about them  in the Bhagavad Gita, and they are like primary colours . You can connect with them, mix them, and do what you like with them . However be careful, these types of colours have you sucked into the painting of life and like a spiders web is a trap for the fly but not the spider , similarly Krishna weaves his web of illusions made up of these modes of nature only because we want it . Goodness  passion and ignorance are the three modes , of phycologically based work . 3×3 =9 9×9=81.81×81=6561, so accordingly, the unlimited types of consciousness in the 8,400000 species are interacting with unlimited mixes and degrees of these modes .
Suddha Satva, though, is the trancendental mode beyond those entangled modes , Krishna says if you want, I can rescue you at any time  from the material modes and place you in your intended place of pure uncontaminated consciousness.

Responsibility in the modes .

Although it indicates in the Vedas whatever your destiny holds by your previous karma, is your due  and so there is no point in working like a dog or ass to achieve more and more ..
These things should be looked at carefully and not fanatically.
A money man’s nature is he is never satisfied and however rich he is he will want more . He also needs legislation  brought upon him because if he had his way, his poor workers would be poorer, and he would exploit everything without care .
The Vedas intends that everyone carries out Dharma or duties properly under the directions of the intelligensia.
We can not say the slums of eighteenth century England and the filth and disease working people lived in were God’s intentions.
When administration works properly, the businessmen thrive well and are happy to pay a fair wage for a fair days work.
Thus …
One who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong…

Living in a world full of mirrors .

In the world of illusion, truth sounds like untruth and untruth sounds like truth .
The crooked heart can only follow the similarly crooked .
But the crookedness does not have to be permanent.
When Darwin saw bears with the mouths open catching flies and thought how they in the past entered the sea water and gradually transformed into whales with their mouths open catching plankton, he later tried to retract his statement..
So even he was attempting to straighten himself out.

Krishna indicates the modes of nature force the conditioned consciousness to act , so strong are their pull that  only by cultivating and practices of theological sciences and yoga can the living being begin to pull himself out .  God helps those who help themselves.

Zionism in all its forms, is not based on what the  Vedas refers to as Sabdha , pure vibration stemming from the heart of the realized souls , those who understand the messages of Divinity . Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha makes that point . Zionism is a hodge podge of political speculations with a misunderstanding of the scriptures thrown in to attract an ignorant mass and turn men against men .
Free speech in the hands of the ignorant speaking to the ignorant who whip up a mob into violence and hatred based on religion and politics and that has been a financed by dubiously motivated unseen persons in the background should be seen for what it is .
Free will is granted by Divinity Himself along with theological cultures of all kinds for all classes of men and women . To understand those various applications, we require the person of character who can speak Sabdha and understand its applications.
The quality of such persons are clearly described in each theological culture .
