Srila Prabhupada , in following the instructions of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, has in his writings uniquely attracted the whole world successfully in bringing an understanding as to what Gaudia Vaisnavism is about . Both its cor values have been presented in details and the various systems of gradual development of Krishna consciousness through Sadhana Bhakti and the progressive yoga systems that Krishna presented to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita have been fully delineated by Prabhupada. Those that later Mahāprabhu reshaped and presented to the Goswami’s , that Srila Prabhupada also explaines. The song that glorifies the mission of the six Goswami’s is clear and their mission and purposes are very broad, the very same purposes of ISKCON made clear in Prabhupada’s writings .
Scholars and intellectuals from a full range of disciplines have greatly appreciated the books of Srila Prabhupada, and it was also Prabhupada’s wish that everyone should understand the writing of all the previous acaryas, as well as the historical roots that his books present .Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja said ” Whatever he writes print it ” That was said for a reason . His brilliant writings attracted modernity to veiw and become curious about the glorious all encompasing Vedic conclusions that are within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Caitanya Caratamrita.
Nothing is outside of Krishna, the neophyte devotees see only Krishna in the deity form at the temple , or they foolishly dare to tread prematurely into the rasika realms of Vraj where even the small particle of soil is worshipable .
The incomprehensible ISKCON moves forward in many ways and beyond the purview or comprehension of the neophyte or offenders , its purposes are immediately served and served long term . Thus, Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu full intentions are within this very strong branch of the Caitanya tree .
Vedic societies offer the greatest good and the least harm to everyone and every creature and naturally to the multiple environments they reside in . Why is this so ? because the central orientation of life’s purposes and the goal greatly differ between a worldview based on scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis with their various educational system’s infiltrating students minds and representing those sciences as fact based , and the society that’s based on dualism, the difference of energies between mind , matter and consciousness ,as well dualism brings to light the objective sciences that can clearly seen to be seen as remarkably ordered , precisely engineered and within which intricate codes and informational exchanges are seen during the assembly of all living systems that remarkably self replicate . The Vedas confirms the words of Sir Fred Hoyle that ” someone has monkeyed with the universe ” The Bhaktivedanta Institute and the Discovery Institute are full of trained PhD scientists but who present objective dualism as the real picture of our world and universe.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , a brilliant author and scholar and pure devotee of Lord Krishna, used to say ” I want the greatest good to those who consider me their greatest enemy.” Jesus Christ, of course, said many similarly spiritually generous and compassion is the nature of spiritually persons.
The advanced spiritually minded person is beyond the platform of friends and enemies, those calculations are based on the body or like and dislikes , what good and bad for my senses. The spiritually minded lives on another plane of truth and realised sciences.
That I am black , white , Hindu , Muslim , Christian, Chinese American, British, rich. poor , educated, and uneducated are all bodily designations. The soul or consciousness is well beyond these temporary designations . One truly in knowledge can be detected as such by their detachment from bodily designations of every kind , even the animals, birds, and insects are regarded with respect .
This is called Brahman realisation in Vedic circles and is the beginning of Krishna consciousness or consciousness of Divinity.
Western societies led by politicians and scientists who follow scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , offer the greatest harm and the least good to all societies for those speculations and resulting calculations entirely based on identification with a body as who we are and who we ever will be is ignorance , they ignore objective truth to suit their subjective agenda. This guessing goes like this ….One birth , by chance , one death, then stardust , and that consciousness and matter are no different , the same substances. Complete ignorance of consciousness is akin to living a life of the animals who never question their conscious existence.
If dualism is ignored or not acted upon, then in real terms, societies degrade into the realms of the sophisticated animals, a sexuilised society with its consciousness in the wrong places . The all-important life airs should be trained to circulate within the brain substances, not in the lower regions . The greatest responsibility of leaders is to elevate those they lead , but because we don’t have the intelligentsia currently leading, we are led by the greatest of those sophisticated animals. The lowest classes of mankind are regarded as the highest, and the real intelligensia are cancelled out in current times , as sophisticated animals might crown themselves kings and Queens in a child’s story book . That is not the Vedic way.
There are different types of persons in society, and that is always the case worldwide. They can be initially described in four ways, but with many intermediaries , so not always black and white . The vedas define their qualities according to the particular abilities and working tendencies It’s very important to make sure that a specific type of person is allocated the correct position within societal and political affairs and the Vedas warns of the dangers of any imbalances and what the consequences might be . Weaved into these structures are spiritual and social mobility because consciousness can evolve or devolve . There are no labels that limit anyone , as is commonly thought by Hindus .They can , because of misinterpreted scripts , misunderstand the Prarabdha and Aprarabdha karmic laws as well as the power of purification by Divinity, particularly through His Holy names in current times . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the Gaudia Vaisnava bring the truths of the original Varna Ashram system to light .Currently, in society at large, it’s as if we have a plumber acting as a brain surgeon. The results are entirely predictable. Take a look at the world. Thus , we should understand the Vedic way.
Actually, very intelligent people are widespread, and you could say fit for purpose. The problems come when many zeros don’t have the number one before them . This means knowledge has been stolen by illusion and scientific materialism, Darwinian hypothesis or materially motivated religion have so many zeros, awaiting the number one . The one represents dualism and a scientific understanding of mind , matter, and consciousness. That’s the Vedic way
Here is example..
The UK government racks up a 100 million pound bill on a covid enquiry without ever mentioning the word “gain of function research” or “Wuhan lab ” , where virus research and experiments were carried out with genetics , other labs were and probably still are carrying on , with knowledge and backing of USA and European scientists. That is the real covid enquiry that will never take place .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Whenever one goes walking in the countryside, inevitably, you’ll come across dog walkers . When they stop and chat with each other, it seems the favourite topic is the characters of their dogs .They are either Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or atheistic, but they all miss the real point . Why ? They have been spoon-fed, unscientific narratives about the nature of consciousness, either by their religious leaders of science teachers .
The fact is clear , the dog has a character, as much as any individual animal , or bird , reptilian, or aquatic etc etc . It’s plane to see . Its self evident, its logical , and using one’s rationale, one must follow the conclusion instinctively.
We have consciousness , we think , feel, and will . So do every other species of life to varying degees . The religious, although trying to approach God, must do so not with mere sentiments but with theological scientific knowledge of life . And the so called scientist must understand Dualism, that a body mind and consciousness are made up of entirely different energies , that is also self evident.
Uneducated and uninformed opinions are being paraded by some religious people as well as atheistic scientists.
The reason the dog walkers are speaking about their dogs’ characters is because, they too have consciousness along with a personality . Its just that their consciousness is passing through the body of a dog , and our consciousness is passing through the body of a human .
But next life ……all change .
Read Bhagavad Gita as it is AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains why.
God is the greatest of listeners, whether it be free minds , free speech, or freedoms of action He hears and facilitates . Free will and determinism within a responsive universe are the divine arrangements for all . The 8,400,000 species within the upper , middle, and lower planetary systems testify to this . Matter follows consciousness , and those following quantum physics may understand. The entanglements of those within their own karmic synchronicities , the freedom lovers , play out . Divinity, along with His agents , quietly watches over proceedings and awaits any signs on sanity , as the state governor might watch over the prisoner. When the prisoner has done with his independent expression of what he or she called freedom , the prisoner is let out to experience real freedoms . In absolute terms, real freedoms are calculated by those who are free from any karmic synchronicities that cause frictions , bias, and hatred . Such pure hearted and wise persons can bring into focus harmonized affairs , the greater picture of what freedoms mean , beyond the conditioned self-centred state . One should know all discord is harmonized in the absolute.
Actually, freedoms of expression with purity of consciousness and love are unlimitedly exhibited by those who are able to add bliss to the overall spiritual and harmonious affairs where the Supreme Personality, who is the most generous spiritual beneficiary resides . Krishna is the master of love , as such, the ever increasing ocean of trancendental bliss continues to expand.
Lord Krishna indicates there are four ways of understanding how the temporarily situated and engineered universe exits. With such knowledge, one can become free from its attractions and the dualities that bring . 1, Vedic knowledge 2,direct perception 3 traditional wisdom 4. Logical induction. Thanks to modern scientific research, it’s clear and easily seen that the orderly universe has an order supplier . Codes and informational exchanges in the making of each individual body show that , and the unexplained stability of the laws of physics is also a self-evident truth . It is witnessed by direct perception and objective sciences. It’s something that generations of ancestors experienced and wrote about within cultures in every part of the world . Also, applying Nyaya logical induction , one knows for sure that smoke means fire . Equally code’s and informational exchanges mean there is certainty that consciousness is behind it . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Chapter one sets the scene and some of the causes of the battle of Kurukshetra. Chapter two brings a summary of all the topics .
Things like prescribed duties and trancendental duties , their interactions and their complementary nature, as well as the therapeutic benefits
The peripheral and the cor purposes of Divine life are summarised in this second chapter.
In Bhagavad Gita, in Chapter three and four, the reasons for Lord Krishna’s appearance as well as the progressive nature of all types of duties and sacrifices are discussed. These culminate , when performed correctly under the instructions of the Vedas and saintly persons , to Knowledge of Krishna . Krishna is unlimited, and the different expansions of His unlimited personality are discussed in the fourth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita personally by Krishna to Arjuna. ..
The fifth chapter explains that persons acquiring knowledge through an intellectual endeavour to understand God or those that act purely within their duties in honest and respect ways towards mankind and all creatures are both on the same path .This is because the sincerity of purpose to act religiously or piously or to seek God by inner searching are both pleasing to God . When pure and exclusive devotion is added to any of these proccess, Divinity begins to be understood much more deeply. Thus, jnana yoga or karma yoga are one and the same when correctly initiated under the guidance of the Vedas and saints .
The sixth chapter describes the path of mystic yoga, but Krishna has also summarised the general qualities of all the yoga paths . Those that bring one to the point of seeing the true equality of all beings and further seeing clearly that everything and every person are situated within the universal form of God are superior. As the yogi advances further , Krishna explains in the 6th chapter that one can also understand God within his own heart and take inspiration from Him directly. Ultimately , the successful yogi can enter the spiritual planets and personally associate with Krishna in one of the many abodes therein , and accordingly , different relationships are experienced as each individual might desire . Importantly, Krishna says any endeavour for yoga and communication with God is never lost , even if not completed or perfected . Next life, it automatically begins again ..
In chapter seven, Lord Krishna brings a scientific explanation in a summary form of this material world , both the metaphysical and physical world is touched upon . Later in the Bhagavad, Gita Krishna will elaborate much further on all these maters as well as cosmological affairs. Krishna, in chapter seven, also details the complexities of varieties of psychological conditioning of the living beings and the effects these material conditions have on a consciousness, including the individual choices that are made . It should be clear free will , determinism, and the responsive universe is at the heart of the Bhagavad Gita. In chapter eight, the all pervasiveness of Divinity , i.e., how He is situated both within and outside the universe, are discused . Further and more detailed explanations of destinations of different persons who practice mystic yoga are here . Easy journeys to other planets according to the situation of the cosmological position of particular stars at death determine destinations . The all-around responsive universe means Krishna and His multifarious energies are in full control ..
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter nine, extensive knowledge of Krishna’s Godhood is given , in one sense, God is everything . Explanations of how He is nearby but far away , He is inside but outside, He is everywhere, but nowhere, for instance, are delineated . Further discusion is also given about how He helps those that want to know Him , many arrangements are detailed of how that takes place . Some people , it is mentioned in this chapter want other opulences in life and do not want a specific relationship at a present yime with Krishna , so details of other destinations for those who worship ancestors of demigods are delineated. .
In a world where businessmen control the 3rd rate political classes, anything goes . Like poisoning people literally with chemicals ,they are everywhere , and its getting worse . Everyone knows it but ignores it . The health effects of chemicals as well as radiation with our accessive computer and smartphone use will come back to haunt society . Plastic is another problem , it’s everywhere and even raining from the sky . Thus, simple living and high thinking have been replaced by the illusions of a greater existence that, in reality, pollute our bodies , dumbs our intelligences, and agitates our minds . Can anything be done to tame this out of control sophisticated animal . Maybe in time. Vote in the intelligensia , avoid the fools who allow themselves to be controlled by those that do us harm . Return us all to a balance within nature and a search for inner consciousness. That’s the Vedic way. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Currently, the USA ,China, and Russia, unfortunately, are carving up the world, India remains independent and prefers the traditional and learned cultures rather than the path of extreme liberalisation chosen by EU . EU has lost the plot a long time ago, it appears , and is being washed away in its centralised liberalists ideals, which it appears addicted to . The UK under Starmer, who is the great EU lover , is endangered of also being washed away . Best find balances , with conservation of family traditions, cultural traditions and anciant theological values that are based on knowledge of mind , matter and consciousness along with compassion and the curtailing of the influences of scientific materialism with the atheistic Darwinian survival of the fittest written all over its greedy financial and economic systems of governance.
The symptom of the soul is not just consciousness but also personality. Do you know of any individual consciousness particle that doesn’t exhibit it .
Even a small fish within an aquarium will exhibit particular ways of responding to circumstances and humans much more so .
The human being is a special benediction, and much can be achieved , even direct communication with Divinity says every theological text .
Human beings must first overcome the lower animalistic traits described in many ways but summarised as lust , anger , greed , envy, and general illusion .Imperfect senses , cheating , mistakes, and bewildered consciousness affect the material personality
The original pure personality full of blissful, non envious loving exchanges is experienced within the highest realms of existence where Divinity and trancendental personalites dwell .
The process of a purificatory lifestyle and therapeutic endeavours are contained within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita , the real purposes of human life is to throw off the mud of conditioned life .
New age philosophical and psychological quacks are misguiding many and adding more and more mud like substances that cover the pure personality, and are replacing it with pseudo psychological teaching in the name of liberalisation and freedom.
One should return to the trancendental ways and the traditions of family values that chalk the progressive and the well trodden paths of the elevated saints and their followers.
In bringing in the modern multicultural liberalisation of societies , look out for extremes that do more harm than good , although their intentions may have been to overcome many other types of misunderstandings and applications of traditions. The Vedic Way is the balanced way with the true intelligensia at its heart .
Wild horses, the unthinking, and the unintelligent
Karl Marx said religion suppressed people and thought he knew better . A path to freedom from conformity and authority , Karl thought , was intellectually , mentally, and physically highly appropriate and would bring great happiness . Why did he then and many others today, think it is appropriate to treat life in that way ? Life should not be a guessing game of following a speculative intellect. We have experience that a child needs the authority of the loving parent . A parent who has the appropriate experience and widom to nourish and guide the child . Obviously, conformity is the best course of action for the child . In bringing a child education and development of character both for the child , there is a balance to be struck between suppressing a child’s inner nature and insisting and imposing certain standards designed to bring out a child’s nature in healthy beneficial ways .
In reality Marx proudly sought to control people and bind them to his way of thinking , but who is his authority ? We can ask ourselves what knowledge he has ? Before accepting any authority, we must know who their authority is . If we find their speculative minds have cobbled up a philosophy in life , taken from other similarly minded speculative persons with world or scientific views , why would we want to put our faith in such speculative subjectivity . We must be very, very careful , not to place our faith in persons who are not worthy. Everything someone says or does needs our thoughtful considerations . One should consider how they know they know , and how do they know they know . It’s important in Vedic culture that the principal of knowledge decending rather than only ascending should be examined .Conservative values stem from traditional cultures and ultimately from scientific theological cultures, those that evaluate mind , matter and consciousness, all three should be objectively studied and clearly understood.
Generally, people are driven by their temporary material senses and minds and are reliant on a limited faltering intelligence and an accepting and rejecting mind that can be very easily out of control.
Like five wild horses, without guidance and supervision a chariot they are pulling will be headed for disaster. The horses are like our senses and the reign of the mind must bring them under control. That means the driver , the intelligence, needs to be selective of direction .An uncontrolled mind with no real intelligence can drag people into many unwanted situations and world veiws .
The intelligence is recommended in every theological science to be always in contact with his eternal passenger . The Supersoul or the Holy Ghost . Such theological intuitive searchings generate much inner inspiration . This decending process is criticality important for truth to become known . However, conformation is needed from those who historically have walked on the path , Divinity has pure representations, who know Him well, and they must be recognised. The Vedas indicates contact within the super subjective realm should be sought and identified . As a student, seeks a proven expert in any particular field of material knowledge.
Today, globalists , politicians, and scientists control the people and in the name of freedoms , bind the people in temporary illusions and uncontrolled hankering. Why , because it suits a particular economic plan that favours the exploitative business man . Economic development has superceded common sense. In reality, they, along with their enabelers, get the unthinking to follow the unintelligent and equally unthinking . They have no long-term vision , and profit at any cost is their motto .
Consequently, the horses of everyone’s senses and minds are completely out of control, and the world is becoming increasingly unstable with widespread suffering worldwide that is getting worse.
We must seek the super subjective realm and bring sanity back to everyone’s lives helping others do the same .We must all seek out the real intelligentsia .
The whole of the Bhagavad Gita gives us clear indications of who they are .We must accept the rational and logical part of our consciousness, and except God has rationale, and thus, communication between Him and His parts and parcels is always ongoing , seek truth and it will be found .
