The acaryas have  explained that an over emphasis on oneness or an over emphasis on difference is incorrect.
Thus, simultaneously and inconceivably, one and difference is the correct tattva .
And Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha says God makes the impossible possible.

When  we love God is our exhibition of difference, and as there is no Robotic rasa , God does not exactly know when or how deeply our exhibition of love will occur.
The clue is ..
Prabhupada says we are not dead stones ..
The high court judge knows the destination of the criminal.
Do you think the high court judge knows the destination of an honest man ?

Further, to understand the principles of Bhakti in conditioned life , you have to learn to love ..
Why some spirit souls  spontaneously loved Krishna in His various forms and why some didn’t initially…is the exhibition of freewill , of  who or what we love ….We , being the expansions of Balarama or Mula Sankarsan . Some of the beings ,  it appears , due to independent spirit , were transferred to Mahavisnu and the transportational glance into matter where perversion of the original love is exhibited.

Thus, here we are .

Love is always voluntary..
When you love God  is your free will , the potential for love is inherant but sometimes misplaced .
Love is also ever expanding, so it’s  newer and newer in quality.
Krishna does not know exactly when we will fully love him or how it will feel in terms of intensity….that’s our choice of freedom.

As we previously noted, Prabhupada said ..
” We are not dead stones,”
As a high court judge knows the destination of the criminal, similarly, God knows how conditioned nature responds , i.e., determinism of the  responsive universe . Thus in conditioned life, God knows everything of our life and choices  and how exactly we are conditioned .
But Narada Muni is free to wonder because pure love is always trusted ….and exhibited freely and unpredictability.
The more we learn to love God, the more freedom and unpredictability of loves emotions , they are expressed without God knowing how they exactly will be ..that brings the highest pleasure to God .
We are not predicable downloads of God . There is no robotic rasa .

In the higher realms of Rasa, one can be  at one with the residents of Vraja.( pranaya) Thus, the unpredictability becomes even more unpredictable , such as the crooked path of Parikiya rasa , the culmination of all tastes directed by the Supreme Goddess of fortune
The more conditioned a person is, the more predictable they are its a forgone conclusion how a sex , drug, or drink addict will act .

Vedic Socialism is the Vedic way , a system of governance that produces social and spiritual mobility.
This system allows for honest, free market economics that is primarily locally based and  with only essentials imported.
Capitalism is sold as free market economics but is not so , monopolies are the global conglomerates strategy . Their narratives are sold to the public that they and their capitalism is creating wealth for all the world and lifting it out of poverty. Truth is, nature provides everything for every creature , every one is fed , clothed, and housed and live happily when they remain closely aligned to natures ways .

World wide trading , has become so ridiculous that someone in the UK exports popcorn to USA , or a person buying his bread in the UK has it brought by lorry hundreds of miles away  from his home town , and the wheat is imported from a country thousands of miles away . The major financial systems have become far too centralised and monopolised . The stock and currency markets, as well as worldwide commodities market and currency markets, have been designed to suit a few insiders , they are far from free markets . Central government allows light touch regulations  and plenty of instant internet trading goes on with shares rising or falling in micro seconds. For those who actually monopolise  such markets, they are doing very nicely, thank you , and they effectively have  centralised control. Capitalism has been sold as an idea that  greed is good and that the benefits of greed will trickle down to everyone all over the world. The reality is entirely different . Such ruthless capitalism benefits the most greedy of persons at the cost of the environment , it  causes unfair trade deals , it causes poverty and wars with every country fighting over limited resources that will inevitably run dry in no time.  Such unfortunate worldwide situations are instigated by the capitalist and their political freinds who are desperate for precious minerals and the like.
The unthinking capitalists should never have a free run and any influence in politics. Rather, the Vedic societies were thankful for money makers who built economies but legislated against them when encroachment was seen to be happening in any circumstances.
The communist idea was utilised in Vedic culture but in the sense of the equality of all beings , and the truth that ultimately everything is the property of God , and needs to be used in harmonious ways .

In the Srimad Bhagavatam 10th Canto,  the autumn seasons and  the various changes to Vrndavana are  described with very many wonderful analogous  accounts recounting spiritual truths and material entanglements.

One such analogy is  describing the pathways of Vrndavana that get washed over and covered in all kinds of twigs , branches ,stones and mud .

The Vedic truths are clear, but in the course of time, they become covered by speculations and interpretations, and original meanings become unclear , those travelling down the Vedic path become lost .

The seekers of truth must find a bone fide representative of the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the summary of all the Vedas . Such a person clears the path of all  mishaps, and all of the  interpretations and speculations are swept out the way as crystal clear knowledge is revealed.

The bone fide spiritual master is a representation of Divinity Himself, and the truth he or she imparts opens up our hearts . Krishna Himself  , within our hearts , reveals the clear path and gives buddhi yoga , trancendental intelligence , all material conditioned notions are eradicated, and the destination is arrived at .

The Vraja gopies know all the secret paths in Vrndavana that lead to the trysting grounds where Krishna enjoys unlimited trancendental bliss in their company

In Kali yuga the current age of quarrel and hypocrisy the great benedictions of Mahaprabhu are in play , He opens up the doors of the Bhajananandis, steals their nectar and distributes it to one and all , even those who are unqualified.
The path of deep Bhajan and preaching collide , and many rough diamonds became perfectly polished as the wisdom of Devi Varna Ashram and deep bhajan interact perfectly.

Why,  because they are fully balanced in character and well read in philosophy,  sciences , social sciences,  political Science and theological sciences.

They fully understand the psychological needs of members of society and guide the social and spiritual mobility . They also have room for those due to their particular place within the modes of goodness,  passion, and ignorance,  namely those in lower modes, i.e.,ignorance , who need facilities for life . However , in Vedic culture, the lower modes and lifestyle never supercedes the higher modes, which exhibit  the highest  of freedoms  within culture .  In the name of freedom and democracy ,  the lower modes  are seen to degrade society and cause pain and misery to everyone.

Fanatical kings , fanatical political leaders, or fanatical religious leaders have no place in Vedic culture, and it’s clear by a  thorough  understanding of all of  the sciences who those fanatics are .

Everyone has their place, and all  have rights , including the ants .

Rascals always need removing and they are ” Self effulgent ” by their behaviour , as are saintly persons who are everyone’s well wisher .

Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has clearly outlined the Vedic themes. And in time they will be further researched , understood and the clear advantages to everyone will be clear to see .

Albert Einstein would say if you can’t explain things simply and in a short time , then you don’t understand them .

The founder acarya of ISKCON caused some controversy amongst the media in the USA in the 1960s pointing out that on  average, men’s brains are larger than women’s brains.

Recently, studies show that male brains are typically 8-13% larger than female brains . This difference in size is not related to intelligence, as both male and female brains are, of course, similar,  and it’s clear ladies and men are as equally intelligent in their own ways and also intelligence differs  according to one’s karmic position and of course there are different types of intelligence . The Vedas indicates that the greatest use of intelligence is to have the wisdom and insights to be able to separate consciousness from matter . The objective world of dualism.

It’s the role that ladies  play in modern times that have changed  from former times . So has much in life and especially the economy. Everything is mighty expensive, and everyone is encouraged to become as rich as possible,  and if you want a big house, big car , and big everything else, both mothers  and fathers have to work hard . Schools and other educational institutions provide all kinds of directions  to children and from an early age .

Ladies in historic times have always played an intelligent and important role in supporting their husbands and children, and they still do. In modern times however  Vedic cultures can be and are adapted . The priorities and principles of ladies supporting their men , who do their duties properly, and work hard for the family  is a good one, of course . It’s the essential that brings stabilised families that are healthy in body ,  mind, and spirit. With the mothers spending as much time as possible with their children. The choices are how much money we need , but equally how to give the best of times and security for the family.

So the Vedic life of simple living and  high thinking with family orientated traditions and loyalties  is good for everyone. Along with automatically further development in one’s consciousness without the  hindrance of dealing with broken relationships and all that brings.

Modern life and liberalism can be troubling, especially if it’s centred around the speculations and teaching of Darwinian scientific materialism of one life, one  death , so what the hell .

Srila Narrottama das Thakur, the Siksa Guru of Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, encourages us all to take to the mercy , and immediately so , of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu, putting down the baggage and burdens of our own Karmic synchronicities , to become an associate of Sri Sri Radha Krishna , making friends with Their freinds and taking up the process of Bhakti yoga .with great devotion . Once and for all be done with this material world. The material world will be what it will be ….

In the material world, we get the impression of eternal youthful enjoyment generations, and generations  of them appear and are like waves rolling one after the other , but unfortunately in no time at all they crash to the shore . The ever new waves of trancendental bliss that Srila Narrottama das Thakur speaks of are forever rolling in the unlimited ocean of transcendental bliss in Goloka Vrndavana, one drop of this ocean can drown all the inhabitants of the material world in trancendental bliss

1) I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krsna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.

Thus they are honored all over the three worlds and they are worth taking shelter of because they are absorbed in the mood of the gopis and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Radha and Krsna.

They can purify all conditioned souls from the reactions of their sinful activities by pouring upon them transcendental songs about Govinda. As such, they are very expert in increasing the limits of the ocean of transcendental bliss, and they are the saviors of the living entities from the devouring mouth of liberation.

In order to deliver the poor conditioned souls, they accepted loincloths, treating themselves as mendicants, but they are always merged in the ecstatic ocean of the gopis’ love for Krsna and bathe always and repeatedly in the waves of that ocean.

The Gosvamis are perfectly competent to bestow upon the living entities the greatest boon of the goal of life.

In this way they utilized their valuable lives and in executing these devotional activities they conquered over eating and sleeping and were always meek and humble enchanted by remembering the transcendental qualities of the Lord.

There they appeared just like madmen in the full ecstasy of love for Krsna, exhibiting different transcendental symptoms in their bodies, and they were merged in the ecstasy of Krsna consciousness.

O Lalita! O son of Nanda Maharaja! Where are you all now? Are you just on the hill of Govardhana, or are you under the trees on the bank of the Yamuna? Where are you?” These were their moods in executing Krsna consciousness.

 

         

 

 

For generations, the West had sought to shape the Middle East its way , but just recently, its ambitious reshaping has had a kick back, and not only in the Middle East .
The unipolar world is no longer .
There are other people living on the planet with different cultures, different traditions, and different theological outlooks.
This is all quite natural in a world of diversity. Even locally, society and people’s thinking and outlooks differ .
Theologically speaking, the Vedas say is due to karma, free will, and determinism…

In the spiritual kingdoms which are approximately two thirds greater in size that the millions of material universes there are no conflicts or wars , rather conflicts that cause trancendental bliss , when you understand how that can be , you have truely understood  consciousness and its full potential and purpose…

The Krishna lila Kaliya serpent pastimes show how demoniac tendency can reside even in places that are thought to be Divine . The river Jamuna is certainly such a place, but Kaliya lived near its banks .
The poisons emanating from him were  so strong that the whole atmosphere became enveloped.
The birds became affected just by flying above Kaliya’s lagoon , as all the surrounding areas became toxic .
Eventually, Krishna resolved the issues, and the wives of Kaliya helped bring the serpent to his senses, as many good wives do  to their husbands .
In the scientific , political, or social sphere’s it just takes one or two persons to mislead and create misunderstanding and a poisonous atmosphere in religious , philisophical , political, or social structure develops and increases in toxicity.
The Vedas define truths and correct calculations and warn against Kaliya like serpants who seek to do harm and pose as leaders or as an influencer . Ultimetely good always  prevails , Krishna’s desire is always to give societies the best of good council, and that always eventually comes to pass , seek out His pure representatives.

Persons like Greta Thunberg , who have mounted demonstrations against ISRAEL, all glories to them all , have had a drip drip effect on our insensitive political leaders , who in reality need leading . One by one, leaders woke up to the demands of the people , and countries began to recognise Palestine..
Trump and the USA had no choice but to follow .. They had other plans .
The Arabic states also had to respond, and like the USA , they let down the Palestinians, and 670000 citizens were killed , including 20000 children .
Power to the people in this case worked, but it took two years .
Netenyaho achieved nothing nor did the USA of EU ..
Palestine will get its independence.

Divinity is the original energetic source, and those energies are  of various kinds,”Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate” |”the Lord has a multitude of energies, and therefore He acts in multifarious ways.”  The individual particles of consciousness scattered by their own desires throughout the multidimensional universes are referred to as the marginal energies of thd Lord . The responsive universes that captures them within the many possibilities  of an atomic realm are the inferia energies of the Lord . One fragmental particle of  consciouseness is facilitated by another conscious being , Divinity is everyones origins , as much as the sun is the origins of the photons of light particles .  Living beings have the same consciousness energies , but they are expressed differently both in the spiritual and material world . The material world is utilising material atomic electromagnetic energies  . In the spiritual realms, a ” spiritually based atom ” is at play. Everything is made of the same eternal consciouseness energies . We  note in scientific circles that many aspects of nature are admitted to be unknown , and consciousness energies and what they are capable of is another unknown. The Vedas call the ” Spiritual atoms ”  Cintamani.
When the  marginal energies of consciousness leave the energetic source , their full potential are not realised, and they have to take shelter somewhere,  so they are facilitated . They become covered by the external inferia energies of the Supreme source of all energies,  Krishna.
These  truths of the Supreme energetic source and the varigatedness energies are given in Bhagavad Gita , and the explanations and comments of the Gaudia Vaisnava’s make every thing clear . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada brought this wisdom to the USA in 1965.
The rest is history..
See ..this example from science.

” When energy separates from its source, it becomes dissipated, meaning it transforms into a less useful or “wasted” form, most often as heat, though sometimes as sound. This dissipated energy spreads out and is transferred to the surroundings, becoming difficult to use for other purposes, even though the total amount of energy is conserved.

“
This scientific perspective is also applicable to spiritual consciousness . If it leaves the association of Divinity, the potential of consciousness is dissipated as it enters the self-centred material world, and its spiritual bliss is covered by any number of material combinations of matter . However, the original spiritual energy remains preserved but covered . When  it returns to the energetic source,  it can realise its full potential, also increasing its own blissful consciousness energies , in the association of Divinity and other particles of consciousness who thrive in such a spiritual state .
