Can you detect the soul leaving the body at death someone’s asking……
Yes, you will detect the consciousness leaving the body .. As soon as that happens, the chemistry within molecular structures stops , and molecules only move towards life when consciousness or the soul is present .The soul is injected into the mothers egg , individual consciousness is within the sperms, and there are so many of them , one of them by chemical signals is accepted , the rest have a short life but await their turn to get a body .When the successful candidate arrives in the egg the molecules begin to process the information within the egg and the sperm and the tailor made specific machine is granted that carries the consciousness along with his subtle body that unfolds every aspect of his karmic synchronicities. ..
One important point regarding consciousness and our responsive universe that we as conscious beings find ourselves situated within , is that as quantum physics may suggest , there is an observer effect , but not just observations , but deeds and actions are taking place , choices are being made , and again , as quantum physics suggests , there are many possibilities of a future arrangement , no one can say for sure what they will be . Nevertheless, according to freedoms granted and the responsibility that goes with it , our next body is already beginning to form within the ethereal planes that later will determine the atoms , elements, compounds and future combinations of parents we may receive. The automotive sector of industries and technologies could give a clue as to how the universal algorithmic processes may be functioning under the directions and intelligence of divinely inspired and inculcabable ethereal engineering . There are, of course, countless billions of images passing through the atmosphere in one way or another every second of the day .
The third and fifth canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam bring some of this information to the forefront.
In the highest of spiritual circles the Supreme Visaya ( the supreme enjoyer ) Krishna , wants to take the position of the Supreme Ashraya (The supremely enjoyed) but that is only because the supreme Ashraya , Srimati Radharani, is increasingly exhibiting her immaculately and purely stated love for Krishna and has immersed Herself deeply within Krishna’s heart in the highest of adoration and worship of His astounding and expanding qualities .Krishna wants to experience the feelings of pure love that the Supreme Goddess of Fortune is feeling for him ..
Can you imagine the power of God and the intimacy of spiritual love at its absolute heights , that is the generosity of Srimati Radharani who allows Krishna Himself to enter within Her and feel and experience the Love She feels . It’s described by our acaryas that such is the unlimited intensity of Srimati Radharani’s love for Krishna,and we are here addressing the attractions between the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the Supreme Goddess of fortune, so , such is Her attraction and ecstatic tumultuous feelings that Krishna Himself could not fully understand them or indeed ” handle ” them . As Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu Krishna has these experiences, but after some time He merged into the body of Tota gopinatha deity at Jaggantha puri by the desire of Radharani , She did not want Krishna to go through such difficulties as the union and separation that She was able to .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has said the Manjaris , are like little white flowers that appear on the Vine of Radharani as she wraps herself around the Tamal tree of the dark handsome Krishna, the Manjaris are also feeling in oneness with Radharani the adoration She is feeling for Krishna.
Everyone has free will , but their general choices are immensely different. This the Vedas indicates is due to karma. We don’t all have the choice to compose a piece of classical music or turn over a million pounds in business in one day , or have the opportunity to associate with a very beautiful person, so many examples can be given . The animal , bird, and insect world are similar, but the choices are less defined.
In the human form of life, though, choices and freedoms of some of the most important aspects of life are readily and equally available for anyone in any status of life , no matter karmic synchronicities and its effects. We mean the path of choosing philosophically inclined thinking and choosing to understand ourselves, this world, and the myriad of theological teachings along with their applications . It is the arrangement of Divinity that if anyone takes the slightest steps towards Him, He makes many more steps towards us . Every person can immediately take such steps , everyone has that choice, there is no bias , no discrimination , but rather there is mercy above justice. Thus in Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says think of Me become My devotee I will protect you from all reactions.
Within the material world many many complexities are entanglements are present our mind and senses drag us everywhere, so Krishna says I will protect you from your own conditioned life , I will give you the intelligence to show you reality, as it is .
That which is replicated by all individual learning , that which by knowing all people become completely knowledgeable,that which makes direct perception and other methods become pure with the highest knowledge . That which is self accomplished , without beginning which is the root of all traditional pure learning and knowledge, should be accepted as sabdha ,trancendental knowledge. That sabdha is bone fide scripture ,knowledge means Veda . Sabdha is knowledge which is eternal as the Vedas is, and it’s realised by one honesty seeking truth .
Srila Jiva Goswami tattva Sandarbha brings us insights into pure knowledge free from self-motivated mental speculations based on sense gratification or impersonal liberalisation in his statement from his Tattva Sandarbha which we have paraphrased above
When one actually comes in touch with the absolute truth, all truths are understood and are put into perspective, both absolute and relative truth . Nothing stands outside of the truth. The truth is all-inclusive and can be understood and accepted by anyone. The truth remains truth for all time, for all beings ,and in all places . Truthful persons from every culture throughout history , or indeed any part of this universe, will be able to fully realise and relate to and understand truth happily together .
A person of truth includes everyone in their realisations of truth it is shown in their effection and in their care for all beings . Friends and enemies are conditioned consciousness expressions in absolute terms . Indeed , in the Vedas it says from Lord Bramha the engineer of this universe down to the tiny insects are all parts and parcels of the Supreme absolute truth who has expanded Himself into many but has not diminished in the slightest degree in any way . The purpose of His expansions is to increase His pleasure and share His sense of trancendental joy . Realising the truth lies in reciprocating and recognising the absolute truth in appreciation and love and understanding His purpose. When one can with a proper attitude along with knowledge reciprocate with the absolute truth, every relative truth will automatically be understood . Everything living can be properly respected and harmonized . Nothing will be veiwed as separate from truth , everything having a connection with truth . We also will feel a connection to everything that has the same connection. Even the absence of truth is connected with the absolute truth , the Vedas call it maya the world of selfish deceit and illusions , it is one of the energies of truth , one who knows truth remains free from its influences.
“A fundamental principle of magnetism: like poles repel (north repels north, south repels south) while unlike poles attract (north attracts south), driven by the energy in their invisible magnetic fields, a behavior similar to electric charges..”
We could say spiritual truths in their highest calculations. the same principle is lived out .. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed this topmost of truths in his revelation of the inconceivabe and simultaneously oneness and differences of all the living beings with Divinity This means we are not only one with God , being expansions of Him , or parts and parcels , but we are different or ” opposites ” Some living beings in a liberated state have a goal to become one with Him and lose their individuality . The Vedas states that after a long time in the one impersonal spiritual light, the individual living being again comes to the material atmosphere. Why? , because ultimately, the differences or the “unlikeness ” of ourselves to Divinity ( oneness and difference) attract Divinity , and of course, Divinity Himself is extremely attractive with unlimited personal qualities , He likes to exchange love with us and we are inwardly searching for a perfect and eternally satisfying loving relationship , so , because of disappointment in relationships some spiritual seekers turn to the impersonal side to Divinity , His spiritual charisma which is purely spiritual and which is peaceful but there is no variety of loving exchanges increasing in Ananda or Rasa , the Rasa of individual blissful relationships. Ultimately, that is what the individual soul is deeply hankering for ..Differences create beauty and love, and in the spiritual planes, everything is harmonized in increasing bliss in relationships with even discord harmonized
In the world of Ai algorithms, robotics, and augmented realities, it should not be too difficult for us to comprehend devolved existences . A devolved existence stemming from the originally intended home of homes , that everyone in their heart of hearts is searching for , one could say paradise lost perhaps. The independent mind that’s driven by free will , the Vedas say , is the cause of the material world and the 8,400,000 augmented life forms that interact with the atoms , elements and compounds that our conditioned senses call reality. Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavata Sandarbha says the cause of this world is not God per se, but rather the living beings that God is providing the augmented reality for ” artificial life ” forms are all explained throughout the Vedas from their beginnings to the universal annihilation and it cyclic cycles. The sincere , honest, and inquisitive person has every question answered in regards to the various life forms and their purposes and importantly why a particular particle of consciousness finds itself in a particular body . The Vedas also pertinently describes how every form of life originates from one original life form , an original form , a cause of all causes, that being the supreme engineer Himself , Divinity or Krishna, the master of the genome and Dna codes that are spread throughout the universes in multidimensional existences or planes of existence . The senses of one particular plane are unable to veiw or understand another . Such are the intelligent arrangements of its original cause , the evidence of His intelligence is detected very easily within the creation . The original spiritual existence is obviously experienced with bodies , but they are full of varigatedness and unlimited quality , there are no deteriorating factors or states such as changing conditions caused by time that accompany atoms , elements, or compounds which also inflict miseries. The machine like bodies of this world accompanied by prolific speciation, are the Ai and algorithmic augmented systems of Divinity , so perfectly complete and inconceivably engineered , that the ” robots ” produce other” robots ” by sexual union . To support “robotic ” human life comes other varieties of tweaked designs , which are the other species . The Vedas say, same engineer different engineering. These life forms within species are intertwined within complex living systems that are all dependent on each other . Each of the life forms have similar goals of eating, sleeping, mating, and defending territories or possessions , they are all enjoying and suffering in the world of dualism.
The third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, as well as the first Canto, describe Maha Visnu as a portion of a portion of the Original personality of Godhead who lies down in a mysterious sleeping condition and in his spiritually surcharged ” dreamlike state ” using the “original patterns ” from His own trancendental form and existence, manufactures the blueprints to all the species of life is a reflection from a reality, and hands the blueprint to Lord Bramha . Maha Visnu manifests not just one planet with forms of life but millions situated within the fourteen planetary systems of the universe. Our senses limit us , but existence is not limited by our limited senses , for instance, at night, you can not see so well as the cat .
It seems democracies have hidden elements that we should be aware of . King Prithu, in the fourth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, speaks of leaders . One who supports and votes for a good King will benefit from what he does because the person voting for the king , the king himself , or persons supporting him in his government also reap good benefits . However, if one votes or supports a bad leader , one will also be somewhat liable and reap the negative energies if bad leaders act against Dharma , namely, ethical and moral principles based on theological cultures and traditions .
So better stand up and say ” Not in my name ” if something against Dharma is taking place. Thus, if you’re going to have democracies better, be sure who you cast your vote for because subtle implications affecting your own Karmic synchronicities are at play . The Krishna consciousness movement is educating everyone to know who is acting within Dharma and who is not . Obviously, in the present age, concessions are in place , for instance, an educated man receives many more severe reactions than an uneducated man within Karmic calculations . In current times, the majority are ignorant of these types of consciousness sciences , but that does not excuse anyone , you cannot break the law and say to the judge ” I didn’t know the law ” we should know good from bad , and theological sciences teach laws of nature , the current laws of the land are derived from them http://www.thevedicspectator.com
There is no such thing as nothing , that there has never been a time that consciousness did not exist, and that all energies have sprung from one single energetic source and are all interrelated and one and different from each other , one can say that truely a person has understand the complete sciences of mind , matter and consciousness as well as the explanations for their unlimited nature and complexities. Once one thing is known everything is known.
Complexities in geopolitical affairs in the Middle East surrounding the Sunni, Shia, Christian, Jew are forever spinning in one direction or another, it seems . In general, the Sunni align with Western democracies and the Shia don’t .
In real terms, religion and politics should be mixed, but not mixed , the real purposes of both religion and political social affairs are only ever understood by the broad thinking and pure hearted intelligentsia and never by political or religious fanatics who are not intellectually inept and unable to grasp their purposes , or see clearly they are supposed to interlink and assist each other , this naturally bring social and spiritual mobility for all citizens based on objective sciences of all kinds . Practical social living has its all-important place but should not supercede or replace the all-important philosophically led consciousness developments in society that are based on the sciences of body, mind, and consciousness . Religions of all kinds serve the same purposes and according to cultures and peoples who take birth in particular countries by Divine arrangements , not by chance , the goal is to culture consciousness and bring it to perfection . Perfection begins with seeing the self manifest truth of the equality of all beings and perfection culminates in love of God . The purpose of our coming to the temporarily situated material energies ,is to learn of the sciences of consciousness. Objective sciences always show truths , subjective speculations in any sciences should be avoided when presenting as truth .Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis are in that category. Politics of every kind serves the same purposes in reality they are to make practical arrangements for uniting communities, countries, and the world’s people . Pure politics works like that . The broad range of people that make up in society are supposed to unite and assist each other like the body does , the arms , legs , belly and head all play vital roles , one cannot really survive without the other .
So religion and political affairs are united on one level and also separated . Using religion for political ends or using politics for religious ends is an abuse of both, and those that do should be avoided . They are fools and rascals.
Divinity Himself has clearly laid out the purpose of both and how they assist each other . When one assists the other in the broadest possible terms, there is respect for everyone’s histories , cultures, and traditions, we will know the true intelligentsia are having influences in the world when this occurs. The Vedic literary contributions bring us this broad picture. Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita to give this message, and Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has brought this message all over the world and its slowly being heard , the intelligentsia will return.
An introduction to Srimad Bhagavatam and its contents..
The Srimad Bhagavatam is highly beneficial to all those living in the material world primarily because it brings everyone gradually or quickly to the path of Bhakti . It has the power to destroy every kind of ignorance and delivers an all-inclusive loving attitude within the heart . This is so because when one learns how to love God automatically, everyone will be loved because every being is a part of God. The Vedic ontology and the epistemological methods are discussed fully within its pages .
The Bhagavatam can respond very strongly as God might do at times but also a little less so , like a close family member , or even less so , like a friend . The same messages but as a person a can understand
Many devotees of Lord Krishna write of His glorious activities , thus ,many further elaborations of the Srimad Bhagavatam in the form of the Smriti are recorded by the Gaudia Vaisnava param para devotees . Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and Sanantana, and Jiva Goswami’s have all written extensive Smriti and they are as good as the Sruti , the formal texts . His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada presented the Srimad Bhagavatam to the Western societies for the first time in the late 60s and 70s . AC Bhaktivedanta Swami is most expert at presenting these topics in practical ways to the modern world . In our films, we are surveying highly those esteemed and trancendental works .The Bhagavatam is recognized by leading scholars in every university. ISKCON itself has developed a specialist Oxford branch that introduces Gaudia Vaisnavism to various departments in universities . Previously to this only Sankacarya’s impersonal philosophy of Hinduism had been predominantly taught .
In current times, the word WHY is said to be the most popular word on Google , unlimited keyboards regularly type it . Indeed, the Bhagavatam indicates that unless a human asks , “Who am I ? why do I exist? ” and “What is the purpose of life , and how did this universe begin ?” So unless one asks, the full potential of humanity can not be achieved . Animals obviously don’t have facilities of rational and logical enquiries , although they all possess consciousness like you and I , but we should not become sophisticated animals.
Examples of philosophers and thinkers throughout history can be found . William Paley intelligently concluded that someone finding a watch whilst walking in the long grass in 1850 , although never having seen one before , on examination, would naturally assume the fine engineering and design are certainly the work of a superbly creative person and exceptional intelligence . Isaac Newton thought that each individual thumbprint of human beings was clear evidence for individual engineered design . The teleological argument , that design permeates everything within nature and our universe remains as strong as it ever did and becomes stronger as scientific research progresses . Recent studies of the entropy of the cell show the cell has low entropy, meaning it’s highly organised in its centre of workings , but at the same time, there are incredibly high energy levels operating . Such high levels would lead one to expect high exposive entropy . Low entropy indicates deliberate controlled systems and , in our experience, controlled means a controller. The fine tuning of the universe , the so-called goldilocks phenomena , is on view to everyone. Everything is perfect , not too much heat , or too cold , a perfect gravitational force is present , but its certainly a puzzle why gravity is weak close to earths surface but strong enough to influence the tides from space . There is a perfect mix of gases that produce oxygen. All on show , objective evidence for deliberate order and engineering in anyone’s calculations.
Certainly, the opening pages of the Srimad Bhagavatam confirm this observation. The famous opening sloka declares that Divinity is directly and indirectly conscious of every aspect of creation , a creation that emnates from consciousness . Life comes from life… Molecules don’t move towards life , something brings them together . The Vedas say Krishna is within and outside of His material energies , as much as within a modern business global empire, the boss is outside, but his intelligence permeates the whole affair. The Srimad Bhagavatam itself is a series of one to one conversations through time frames , there are dialogue partners , and these constantly weave in and out of space time and over billions of years with no specific chronological orders . There are references to appropriate histories, and crucial lessons are taught . Either from Divinity Himself or His devotees . They are defined as factual events relating to Krishna and His devotees or illustrative stories , bringing home key and important philosophical points .
The Bhagavatam appears and dissappears in the long course of 311 trillion years , a set time of this universe . As much as the sun rises and sets and appears to appear and disappear so does the Vedic Bhagavatam. The creator god Lord Bramha has 4.5 billion of our years as his 12 hours , and its recorded in the Bhagavatam as he sleeps , a partial shut down of our universe begins lasting 4.5 billion years begins , before being rebooted once again. Although our total universe is trillions of years old , parts are temporarily shut down , and the highest planetary systems remain unaffected.
Lord Krishna Himself comes to reestablish forgotten Dharma or principles of religion , but most importantly ,to attract His devotees to His personality and pastimes. 5000 years ago He did just that, and when He left this universe after completing His purposes, the question arose what happens to Dharma or principles of religion and truth . Dharma is a living thing through the desires and orders of Krishna , it has a supervisory system , which means , if one acts within Dharma, ones life is reasonably fulfilled and progressive and elevation of progressive consciousness will take place . But if one acts against Dharma, one automatically degrades one’s own consciousness, and one becomes further and helplessly entangled in reactions and sufferings within material conditioning .The key to understanding the Bhagavatam is to gain positive scientific objective knowledge of our universe , seeing its set motions at play and its intelligent design and by so doing increase faith in the Divinity. Learning of the eternal occupation of the soul , the symptom of the soul is consciousness .
Ultimately by following such Dharma, one is taken to a place where consciousness can thrive , where it is surrounded by pure intelligence and pure consciousness, the spiritual energy . One will leave the deteriating and fluctuating matter made of atomic particals far behind …….The sages who questioned Sukadeva Goswami in the Bhagavatam, were told that when Krishna leaves this world , Dharma, with all its directions take shape in the form of the Srimad Bhagavatam Everything for mankind is contained within its pages , and the expert person Bhagavat , who is realised and has understood the Bhagavatam, can extract and understand its mysteries , applying them to given times , places or circumstances . No matter who we are or what we are , progressive steps are chalked out for every section of society within the Bhagavatam and through those who understand it . It is said that one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong , but Lord Krishna always favours wise council to bring justice to all proceedings in administrations . In its absence, there is turmoil in society ,most definitely that is reflected in the current times . We see unnecessary suffering deliberate misguidance brought about by rouge leaders , democracy can mean fools voting in fools . One who studies the Srimad Bhagavatam brings great security and wisdom to himself and his family . Objective history , objective science, and non cheating religions are all essential ingredients to the development of real knowledge . Mistaken ideas lead to great misfortunes , who is a friend and guide must be understood Wherever there is Krishna, there is always great fortune and victory. Krishna lies within all the pages of the Bhagavatam directly or indirectly.
