Pleasure seeking

The Vedic followers are not doom watchers , they don’t curse those who seek pleasure.

Indeed, the very nature of the living being is pleasure seeking , and that is said in the Vedas itself.

The Vedic aphorism.

Anandamayo bhyasat.

Pleasure seeking and a  joyful life is the  constitution of the living being.

The Vedic followers are  simply seeking a place where this instinctive  nature of the beings can be exhibited without the scientifically observed obstacles of birth , death , old age, and disease.

It is further noted by the Vedic following that although the body undergoes difficulties and has the above restrictions imposed upon it ,  the consciousness is only  the witness to it .

So intelligence should calculate  why am I suffering birth , death, old age, and disease  and all the accompanying miseries akin to it ?

The Vedas itself explains scientifically what the material energies constitution is and the laws of nature that operate , as well , why they are set in place . Essentially, the Vedas explains why those  living beings find themselves in the predicament they do .

To live in an environment where the consciousness and the energy that surround it are of the same nature is required,  Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani, and their associates do not possess “karmic ” material bodies .

When one chants Hare Krishna,  this means that we want to bring Radha Krishna together and help and participate in Their ecstatic pastimes, assisting them in every way,  by doing so we automatically become satisfied , as for example the leaves of the tree are  satisfied when the root of the tree is watered.

The books of the Param Para teachers tells  all , Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is most expert at teaching Vedic wisdom to Western audiences.

There is a very good reason why when describing aquiring knowledge, Lord Krishna puts humility as the first step to knowledge..
Try speaking sense to someone who puts up pride shutters within their consciousness..
It becomes so obvious that they hang on so tightly to preconceptions , and their minds go into overdrive as defence mechanisms kick in and kick all good sense out..

The BBC were at it again last night they had their scientific presenter dive deep into the oceans to find the source of our brains , they said it came from a volcanic vent deep within the oceans , thus speculations are openly presented as fact based sciences by mainstream media.

The BBC editor and the presenter should have left their brains in a glass jar at the bottom of the sea for all the good they are .Truthfulness and honesty are essential in objective sciences.

Subjective opinion must be clearly made to look life relatively uniformed opinion.

Take care of your own cultural traditions

Sep 29th, 2025

Every one of the citizens of countries worldwide should realise and learn of their own cultural traditions and historic values , practically all of them have some connections to Divinity in one way or another . It is the arrangement of Divinity that knowledge is always present and available through the wise . Progressive paths have been given .for thousands upon thousands of years .One of the youngest countries , USA , seeks to spread its influences , but in setting up the USA the forefathers sought to exploit and destroy the ancient culture of the natives , those persons who came to America , soon forgot or never practiced humanitarian values it seems .Although the forefathers constitution includes the words , self-evident truth of the equality  of all men , one can speak big words with an empty heart, it seems .
The ancient Greeks, the Vedic culture, the ancient Chinese cultures, and many others should not be forgotten . The world should not become a global world led by those who haven’t got much in the way of historic values, rampant materialism, and distorted theological thinking is not anything wonderful to spread worldwide.
Rather, individual nations should look to their own traditions, live simply and peacefully, producing their own needs , with only essentials imported .The cultivation of fine consciousness with humility , family values, and equal vision are the teachings of the now forgotten great civilizations .

Perfection to imperfection ,or reflection  of perfection.The journeys of the soul

Srila Jiva Goswami, one of the greatest Vedic scholars, said ..”we are trying to bring perfection to imperfection..”

Ultimately, you could say atoms elements and compounds are an offering made by the material energies, they are so made by Divinity,  and reluctantly given by Him , reluctant ,  because the the living beings are attempting to bring  a perfection in their lives , but in an atmosphere that is not suitable , because atoms , elements and compounds can never satisfy our inner consciousnesss needs .What is that need , blissful, happy lives , and relationships that are increasingly rewarding . Perhaps the closest to the above are youthful or child like enthusiasms for life , schools out enthusiasm can be seen everywhere. It’s a kind of reflection of perfection . Ultimately, every theologically driven culture warns of the original pure consciousness  entanglements  in the material world,  and they provide analysis of the problems and offer solutions.  Entanglements in karmic activities and cyclic synchronicities can be very difficult to shift . Jiva Goswami indicates this in his Bhagavat Sandarbha….
The living beings conditioned concept of becoming an enjoyer of a substance that is ultimately alien to him is like the will of the wisp , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada  said . Those fast moving atoms, elements and compounds and  particular subtle mind with given intellect are awarded within a  stipulated space and stipulated time to the  individual consciousness particle ,but they can not stay .The atoms are vibrating and producing  forms that appear as permanent reality , with a varigatedness that is indeed full of wonder , and no wonder , this is a reflection of a spiritual reality but here the essence of the pure heart is missing.

Thinking and thinking practice , trancendental litratures and trancendental services bring trancendental thinking ..

“Regarding your first question, is it offensive to think of Krishna’s Pastimes while chanting, I think you should know that it is not offensive, but rather it is required. One must try for the point when he simply hears Krishna and immediately all of Krishna, His Pastimes, His Form, His Quality, are in his thoughts. So to always be immersed in thoughts of Krishna this is our process. When we are full in Krishna then where there can be any chance for maya in us? So this is our duty to remember Krishna’s Pastimes. One who cannot remember Krishna, let him always hear Hare Krishna and then when he has perfected this art, then always he will remember Krishna, His Activities, His Qualities, etc.”
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada…

For some reason some devotees have problems with this understanding of Krishna consciousness , in an avoidance of being “too esoteric ” some devotees give the unbalanced veiw , that deeper spontaneous thoughts and aspirations of services are not for the Gaudia Vaisnava’s . Of course there is due course , as clearly defined in the books of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given indications in His conversation with Ramananda Roy about the complete process and the goal .

From Karma yoga in Varna Ashram to Niskarma karma yoga to buddhi yoga to pure Bhakti yoga in spontaneous love and the different types of pure love exhibited by different devotees in different places .

Ultimately, Prabhupada puts it perfectly , work hard, Samadhi later ..

So Black , white , many shades of grey .

Equivalents are used in Nyaya logic..
Consciousness is seen equally in all beings .

Life comes from life.
It will never arise out of chemicals.
The source of miniature Consciousness is larger consciousness.
Like the sun and sun molecules.
There has never been a time that consciousness did not exist , nor in the future will it cease to be ..matter has certain defined and changing properties.
Consciousness is a different sort of energy , a superior energy.

We can not equate something inferior to something superior
The ancients and their cultures were correctly based on dualism.
Scientific materialism is a recent construct ..and is a completely subjective speculation and is actually unscientific. it curiously practically ignores consciousness .Ignorance is bliss , so some say ,  maybe this  enables a madman to live in the illusion of enjoying dead matter .
We are the same Consciousness particle, as we were as children, but our body has changed .
When we  sleep and dream , our  body is acting , and our consciouseness is  involved in the  ethereal plane , a real life , so much so that if a man embraces a woman, he can  ejeculate . Curiously, though, we completely forget our  body lying in our beds in dreamland,  but we hear , speak , feel, and act .
On awakening, we  remember and identify with our day time body again ..at death your body is forgotten forever , but you wake up in a new one , only traces and some impressions of a previous consciousnesss conditioning is vaguely remembered .
Thus, your life is a daytime dream night-time dream .
But you should ask why am I subjected to this ?

The living spark is transfered into the sperm , it carries a great deal of information collected from the previous encounters from previous existence . The ethereal planes are currently not at all understood by those who only study scientific materialism , however, everyone experiences mind and intelligence along with unlimited creative thoughts .The soul needs a body , so the sperm is placed in a specific egg , and chemical signalling only lets one sperm into an egg .
The information of both Dna codes forms the prescribed body and its journeys of Karmic synchronicities.
Welcome to the world of Divine algorithms, Divinity has intelligence like the sun , and your intelligence is like one photon.
This is objective science..
Perfect math symmetry and order in everything.
Nothing by chance…

In order for life to be meaningful,  peaceful, and rewarding, the following is important ..

I would strongly recommend that all the major religions of the world unite together so a combined document can be produced on .
The meanings and purposes of ethics and justice within governance of international bodies and local governments .
Along with this, an international criminal justice system that actually has power.
Any countries outside those systems should be discarded and isolated financially economically and in every way possible, including the USA or any EU countries.
No one as it currently stands is qualified for entrance into this new world order ..
The first thing is to educate people , so fools don’t vote in fools or religious unthinking fanatics. Don’t get the following of other religious unthinking fanatics ..

If we look at the ocean or  extract a drop of sea water ,and  examine one drop of it , it  enables us to understand something of the ocean . However, in reality , the total  combined oceans is a true expression of what the sum total of the ocean is . Within its depths are  complex currents and even unknown species are lurking. So, a cursory glance or or some examination does not tell us much , but gives some idea

In the same way ….
One can point to one person , one particle of consciousness, and understand something of consciousness  , such a study will give  some clues of  the nature of God and His consciousness . The Vedas inficates God displays His unlimited consciousness  in numerous ways , and they should be considered. He is, for instance, fully conscious of every one of his part and parcel expansions, namely the  all the living beings .  He is simultaneously one and different from them and reciprocating with each part separately and directly . Those who understand consciousness properly can understand something of God .Thats why those who understand dualism by studying their own consciousness will most definitely understand something of the ” ocean ” of God’s unlimited consciousness and something of His unlimitness energies and powers .

mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ
jagad avyakta-mūrtinā
mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni

Translation
By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

Srila Sridhar Swami would say , in describing God ….…that God is everywhere but nowhere . How is this ? Because God is He who is full of opulences and lives in a multiuniversal capacity,  both material and spiritual . He can bestow trancendental bliss upon His devotees as  the original personality of Godhead and simultaneously take care of the affairs of the material energies . God is everything , but also Krishna is the original person from whom all the other forms of Divinity expand, and multifarious energies , some superior some inferia. He remains  permanently in Goloka Vrndavana , the spiritual world .  So He is inside everything and simultaneously outside .

How can those placing faith in  scientific materialism or atheistic Darwinian hypothesis understand ?

But Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger , Feynman or Teller would very well understand.

And the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall.

The concept that Krishna is everywhere but nowhere is explored in spiritual and philosophical writings in many cultures. Particularly within the framework of  the dualistic school of Vedic philosophy , as opposed to monism , ie. God that is impersonal . This concept, often attributed to Srila Sridhar Swami, suggests that Krishna is both all-encompassing and yet transcends any specific location or limitation.
Here’s a breakdown of the concept:
Everywhere:
Krishna is seen as the ultimate reality, the underlying principle of the universe. As such, He is present in everything, pervading all space and time. This aligns with the idea of Brahman, the ultimate reality in Advaita Vedanta, which  considers God impersonal and to be one, indivisible, and the source of all existence.
The one and difference are discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam…
It indicates, “At the same time as being all pervading , Krishna is beyond the limitations of the material world.” He is not confined to any specific place, time, or form. This aspect of Divinity emphasizes His expansions of His  spiritual energies , the ultimate reality. It’s not limited by the duality of existence and non-existence of the physical world.
In Essence:
The “everywhere but nowhere” concept highlights the paradoxical nature of the ultimate reality. It suggests that while Krishna is present in every aspect of the universe, He also transcends it and is not bound by the limitations of the material world.
This concept is often used to illustrate the idea that the ultimate reality is not something that can be defined or localized in the same way as ordinary objects or beings. It emphasizes the transcendence of the divine and the fact that He is beyond our comprehension. “
Bhagavad Gita .9.4

If the Vedas is correct , how is it that one soul successfully arrives in the womb of a particular person or particular creature .

Nothing by chance but by design..

” Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna , this consciousness is Krishna consciousness.”
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

There are systems for the  arrivals of each and every consciousness particle . There are chosen destinations , a chosen time and place . Each particle of consciousness in a particular body at a particular time will  be lived out , like it or not .

Mankind does pretty well at  advancing in all sorts of   technologies some  have the ability to direct and control extraordinary amounts of information , increasingly influencing and controlling the world around  , at least some of them are controlling , the others are being influenced and controlled  . The Ai and algorithmic processes have made the  impossible  possible, it seems . Is it too difficult to conceive of Divinities algorithmic processes ? One should, with  rationality, consider the divine  possibilities and see how scientifically they might be  possible and work on an infinitely greater scale,  via mind , matter and consciousness  linked and responsive with each other , this is the Vedic way.

The scientific community, for instance, has examined how a  particular sperm is attracted chemically to a particular egg of the female , no other sperm can enter . This is chemical signalling. Other sperm die off ….so life is a struggle from its beginning to end .. and it might take a specific time period before the circumstances click into place that fit a set of circumstances for a particular consciousness particle.

Even the specific messages that you are going to receive via the WWW are a  highly complex business ,  but they are made easy in the technological age we currently live in .

This is explained in the following way .

“While it may seem like a needle in a haystack, directing a specific message to one person out of trillions relies on a system of unique identifiers and protocols. Each message is routed based on the recipient’s IP address, a unique numerical label assigned to their device, and the message itself is formatted according to specific communication protocols like TCP/IP, ensuring it reaches the intended destination “

Those who advocate scientific materialism also  advocate that everything is happening by chance events driven  by  nature . The question should be, ” Who’s nature ?.

Dark energies  and dark matter have the Vedic explanation , the ethereal planes are an aspect of subtle science’s described clearly in the Vedas .What goes on in such ethereal energies? Future destinations and automated systems,  our next destination is already beginning to form , it is indicated.

Travelling at high speed throughout our  planet are  countless of  trillions of messages and images , i.e., Internet messages and images ,  we know that  . The ethereal energies also carry signalling of a different kind , that of our karmic  brainwaves , and  our desires and deserves , a subtle world of actions and reactions. the Vedas indicate to be played out later . The world of the multidimensional universe lives on , not in the minds of the disciples of the gurus of scientific materialism but within those who have an open unbiased scientific inquiring capacities of a  reality of matter, mind , body and the  consciousness. This is dualism.

Stephen Hawkins asks how did it all begin ? …

There is , according to the Vedas , a cause of all causes . The Vedas defines such a cause and the purposes of the cause . Primarily, everything is  centred around consciousness, and the material energies are a secondary factor , both consciousness and the formation of matter are delineated in detail as well as speciation. The  Vedas further  clearly defines the nature of the original cause’s personality and traits consisting of varigatedness within a spiritual and material plane . Everything is one and different from the cause and should be thought of and understood that way .
Although the original cause had no cause , something those that who  have been caused can’t get their heads around , still we must remind the inconceivable energies that are flowing throughout the universes as well as within each individual body that carries each  consciousness particle. To separate laws of nature of the universe, which has a functional purpose connected to our consciouseness ,  from the origins of the universe who saw the need of the functioning universe , will be essential in logical terms . As much as it is in  separating the high court judge from the prison.
The clue to understanding God is to  properly understand oneself , this  independent nature of the sparks of consciousness that originate from the whole , and that  inherently possess free will .  That  free will need facilitating with facilities.
What is difficulty ?

The proud proud Darwinian or the proud, proud followers of scientific materialism bodly declare to God.
” Show yourself to me.”
Never mind that we see  traits of what is obviously design in all things , at least in the minds of the logical person ,  along with the obvious codes and informational exchanges that build the protein machines that  build the cells , that build the bodies of all creatures. On the surface of things , any sane persons can accept such observations , as Sir Fred Hoyle noted, “It’s all too perfect .”
Yet , to such a mighty engineer as Divinity Himself ,the  charletons who claim to present objective science shout out to Him , ” If you exist, come and show yourself.”
Thus, the uncultured man presumes much of himself , so much so that he issues orders to God .
This is the nature of rascals .
There are also many scientific and philosophical reasons why Divinity is everywhere and nowhere .One only needs to  enquire from a person who truthfully and objectively sees truth

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.1.

O my Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmājī, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.
