    Flawed calculations…fooled again

    According to a computer security expert, Ai will greatly increase cyber security breaches, amongst other difficulties it will inevitably bring us all . For instance, a shortage of high power memory chips , everyone should prepare themselves for a massive increase in prices for technology using such chips , cars , and smart phones included .This world means working hard and then working harder still . The Vedas say Purvarga …means work hard , foam at the mouth , anxiety,  fear , and death . Aparvarga means trancendental life and liberation from working like an Ass . Simple living and high thinking is the Vedic way .
    The security expert said cyber attacks aided by Ai will be a daily feature of life in the increasingly technological world  , more fear , more anxiety.
    Materalistic life means a continual struggle to avoid misery and to try to increase happiness , but in doing so, anxiety increases, and happiness is decreased . Happiness and distress like winter and summer seasons can not be avoided .
    The whole basis for materialism and especially scientific materialism is flawed philosophically because of the obvious reality of dualism. Consciousness and matter are objectively seen and felt as two separate energies . What are we trying to make happy a body or our inner consciousness? Material energies are complicated  and are plugged into our consciousness. Karmic synchronicities of all kinds are played out , although little free will and deterministic consequences can change . The responsive universe sucks one in, and innumerable entanglements are in fast mode beyond the comprehension of any Ai modelling creators.
    That’s the nature of the material world , every theologically driven culture knows it, and the Vedas examines it in detail.
    Therefore simple living high thinking is the Vedic way , the peaceful way , and the most progressive and rewarding way for mankind.  Development of consciousness and becoming conscious of the origin of consciousness, and by the way ,  it’s not the primordial soup .

    The complications come in life when we separate ourselves from the obvious intelligently made arrangements in nature .  The Renaissance period tries to separate the arts,  philosophy, and political structures  from its intended connections , Divinity, and higher consciousness. Art explains many things and should make everyone think deeply. Any artist attempting to deny  Divinity and  obvious Dualism and thrust scientific materialism to the forefront is not a clever artist but has sold out .

    One should not ignore the obvious math , symmetry , coded information, or any of the  historical theological cultures throughout history . The objective sciences, in reality, are seen to bring the obvious to our attention and make it even more obvious.

  • Borrowed plumes from afar

    The mysterious goings on in Gaudia Vaisnavism

    Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur was a magistrate who worked for the British Raja in the earlier part of his life during the later part of the 19th century. He was also a prolific writer and philosopher in his youthful days . As he grew older, he became more and more drawn toward the teachings of Gaudia Vaisnavism and particularly the conclusions that were presented by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Mahaprabhu had brought new insights into the trancendentally  mysterious lives of the Gopies of Vrndavana.  He revealed to the world the supreme position of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani.

    At first , Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur was puzzled about the extraordinary wonders of Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who was known to be a great scholar and Pandit . Mahaprabhu was most definitely a first-class scholar who could , for instance, explain the Srimad Bhagavatam Atmarama verse in 108 ways , which astounded all the Vedic intelligentsia . However Srila Bhaktivinod thought it , at least initially strange , that later in Mahāprabhu’s life , He had  became so absorbed in the  meditations and pastimes of Lord Krishna in Vrndavana , those of Sri Sri  Radha Krishna which appeared , at least  externally , as being quite  immoral , Srila BR Sridhar Swami tells us these recollection of the life of the Thakur.

    Indeed , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , the son of Srila Bhaktivinod , was once questioned  by Lord Suthers  , who was a British government minister in the early part of the 20th century . Lord Suthers made the point in a question, ” That your Lord Krishna appears to be quite immoral. How is it that He is worshipped as God ? ”  Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja gave the perfect answer ……”that Lord Krishna’s activities in Vrndavana were a display of the highest morality.”

    There are two verses , one in the Srimad Bhagavatam  and one in the Caitanya Caratamrita scriptures that need understanding in depth along with their  purpose . When one is able , after much  practice of devotional life and by the causeless mercy of a devotee of Sri Caitanya , understand these two verses  the mysterious nature of Gaudia Vaisnavism may  open up .

    First verse is …

    CC Madhyama 11.8

    Greatly lamenting, the Lord then informed Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, “ ‘Alas, for a person who is seriously desiring to cross the material ocean and engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord without material motives, seeing a materialist engaged in sense gratification or seeing a woman who is similarly interested is more abominable than drinking poison willingly.’ ”

    Then .

    ŚB 10.33.39

    Anyone who faithfully hears or describes the Lord’s playful affairs with the young gopīs of Vṛndāvana will attain the Lord’s pure devotional service. Thus, he will quickly become sober and conquer lust, the disease of the heart.

    One should consult the mature Gaudia Vaisnava about these two verses and their trancendental mysteries and how the two verses can be reconciled.

    It is a fact in current times liberalism has run wild , so practically speaking, how can one properly practice spiritual life in the Western world.

    Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Goswami Maharaja gave insights and  instructions. He would say all the beautiful ladies who are in this world  in their spiritual beauty should go to Krishna.  They have temporary borrowed plumes originating from Srimati Radharani from a higher spiritual realm . Such a reflection is a temporary show , borrowed plumes from an eternal reality , where diamonds are on show and not broken glass . This  trancendentally beauty and its playground can be understood with purified trancendental senses , senses that are engaged in eternal sacrifice  , with no separate interest other than serving the emaculate senses of Krishna .There is a competition of love between Radha Krishna  on full display. A perfect  exhibition of the origins of romantic love in a spiritual plane where selfish materially motivated lust has no place

    Ultimately, the Srimad Bhagavatam teaches us that in spiritual life, there are no voids or impersonal energies but rather everything there is full of beauty and spiritual varigatedness ,  Krishna is the Supreme Autocrat and He  unlimitedly shares and exchanges trancendental bliss and beauty unlimitedly in ever new ways  , known as anuraga , and in innumerable ways the trancendental blissful exchanges increase and increase.

  • Lady Gurus.

    Feb 16th, 2026

    In India, Srila Prabhupada had little details changed regarding Deity services than those he employed in the West , Prabhupada was  conscious of local traditions and culture, particularly in Mayapur and Vrndavana.

    Srila Haridas Thakur himself, although the most qualified to enter the temple of Lord Jagganath, did not do so ,because of his ” birth ” and certain sensitivity was shown by Srila Rupa and Sanantana Goswami’s because of their previous employer. Certainly, for preaching purposes, some degree of acknowledgement of local customs and cultural expectations should be considered.

    The conclusions of the GBC in  ISKCON to recognise the position of Siksa Guru is sastric and, of course, correct , the Diksa and Siksa are non different  they represent Lord Krishna . Sastra says as  advanced Krishna consciousness developments occur it is mostly the case a devotee  will accept particular instructions needed for further advancements from a Siksa Guru who might be better  placed to guide a specific disciple in deeper aspects of Krishna consciousness , but not in all cases , sometimes the Diksa Guru is also the predominant Siksa .a devotee has one Diksa Guru, but there are no limits to Siksa . The sastra sanga is also Siksa , thus, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur commented that one should accept the Goswami’s as one’s own personal Siksa Guru.

    What’s important is the instructions and inspiration and the flow of trancendental Bhakti from one heart to another , and in trancendental tattva space time are of no consequence ,  if the consciousness is pure , humble and trained by the current links  mercy decends in many ways. The fact that the GBC in current times has taken into consideration Indian culture and, as such, placed on hold official Diksa services for ladies is not a major problem , providing it is for that purpose and not the purposes of downgrading ladies as inferia to men .The GBC appears to recognise the lady Siksa,  who in many cases could be more spiritually advanced than Diksa Guru, who is currently male . In my opinion, it could be that in the West , ladies could become both Diksa and Siksa Gurus because cultures differ, and it may increase ISKCON’S appeal  . That’s because, for sure , and times move on , ladies play a more prominent role in societies.   India will catch up to this reality,  but not quite yet .

    As Prabhupada did within Deities services , ie . There were  slightly different standards regarding who could officially offer puja , mainly in Vrndavana and Mayapur , men can do so and not ladies , at least for the time being. This should also  be considered  and Diksa Guru services for ladies  in India openly on show could be revisited in five years’ time .

    In spiritual life …..

    There is the psychological approach , the philosophical approach and the Rasika approach, one without the other is not the complete picture of Gaudia Vaisnavism.

    Thus the pure representative of Krishna is perfectly accomplished in all three , their characteristics are sublime they are well versed in understanding applications of the Vedas in all its meanings and he or she is an intimate servant of the servants in the spiritual realms of Vraj.
    The qualities of the pure Vaisnava are clearly written by Srila Rupa Goswami, who was personally taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

  • Sciences in the Bhagavatam

    Feb 16th, 2026

    The Srimad Bhagavatam shows the importance of the philosophy of science , the Bhagavatam  itself summarises and gives accurate explanations either directly or indirectly to all known , and as yet unknown aspects of science yet to be discovered .Those aspects are particularly in terms of the underlying intelligence within the universe as well as its working through various agencies and also the ethereal subtle plane that the atomic reals sit upon , the foundations of the elements and compounds that are visible in innumerable forms . It is said in Vedic circles,  once one thing is known, everything is known . The Vedas teach that  sound is  the origins of a universal order , we can think of sound in many ways ,  as a desire to communicate or a  command or informational exchanges within coded systems . When it comes to understanding the atomic realms and the working of quantum mechanics , these are part of the makeup of a responsive universe. However ,there are finer particals of matter that interact with a subtle ethereal plane , a plane that covers an original pure consciousness, and places the covered  conditioned consciousness into the material energies .This is described in the Vedas and its where free will and determinism plays out in the algorithmic responsive universe.  Within the Vedas many other interesting sciences are explained for example,  measurements of time are indicated , the time it takes for the sun to pass over atoms are given as well as the 311 trillion years of a  universal expiry date . Bhagavatam’s emphasis is centred upon mind , matter, and consciousness as the full explanation of the world that surrounds us . The Bhagavatam is seen to corroborate what objective science discovers  but it also culminates in a full explanation and understanding of consciousness in its conditioned and liberated states  , its dismissive of atheistic scientific materialism.  Material energies within the universe at various points of its history within space time differ , time acts differently, and specific powers of the mind intelligence are developed to understand phenomena that at other times are not understood . Both within in our local galaxies and in the much greater picture of multidimensional universes .  Modern physicists , such as Lisa Randall,  the Harvard Prof. often describes our cosmos much like the Bhagavatam describes it, which is encouraging that some objective scientists can be truly objective and logical in their approach
    The information within DNA along with the coding  procedures consisting of  a possible three billion combinations of letters within the 100 trillion cells in our bodies, has origins in Divinity . He is like the Supreme engineer , with His supreme intelligence . After all , information means someone who is informing  and purposely so . This  coded information is on both sets of dna strands and possesses data compression. In other words, many expressions from one set of letters at different times will be enacted , causing various changes in the body . Karmic synchronicities are played out , the Vedas indicates . Richard Dawkins was once asked for an example of  a mutation bringing new positive information to the genomes ,  meaning obvious transitions an example of macro evolution…..he could not give one example and after a long embarrassing pause asked for the camera to be switched off .
    Mutations die out or are fixed automatically within the body building procedures. All this is common knowledge in scientific circles .
    Information means intelligence. Just think of the combinations of 1 s and 0 s in your computer. All put there by intelligence design of a human , creating codes . Nyaya logical systems say if there is smoke, there is fire , likewise, codes mean a code giver an intelligent mind .

    THE 3RD CANTO OF THE BHAGAVATAM CHAPTER 26 INCLUDES THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL NATURE .AND
    THE MANY POSSIBILITIES OF QUANTUM PHYSICS IS PARALLELED AND EVEN MUCH  FURTHER STUDIES  BY LOOKING FOR ITS ORIGINS IN AN ETHEREAL PLANE .THE FINER ELEMENTS OF MATTER .

  • Choose again.

    Feb 16th, 2026

    Chanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra is enabling us , by the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who brings with Him and bestows the mercy of the Queen of Vrndavana, who is the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani, to clear up our innumerable wrong choices from innumerable lives . We could say it’s a bit like going back to the “Tatastha regions ” where we as the Tatastha sakti jivas originated from , and once again having original spiritual choices granted. Being as Balarama, the first expansion of Krishna, is the origins of the Tatastha sakti jivas , its no wonder He has a part to play in the rescue mission as Nityananda prabhu.

    The Tatastha regions  Srila BR Sridhar Swami says are the Brahman regions the spiritual light of the effulgent Lord .

  • Not quite like that ..

    Feb 15th, 2026

    When Druva Maharaja left this material universe having been liberated from it by the grace of Krishna, this was after Druva had performed and perfected devotional services of various kinds . All these events have  been described within the Srimad Bhagavatam so we can  scientifically understand the processes of leaving our material bodies for good that bind our consciousness to matter . The proceedings of exactly how a living being sheds the material energies . In such cases, the material universes will stop responding  entirely to those  who engage in pure devotional services , unlike it will to those who seek to enjoy and live separately from God . Druva , consequently , left  behind all the material elements and their combinations from the  atomic realms that make up the elements like earth , water, fire , air , ether , and every one of their combinations that form the compounds within the machine like body . Druva also became liberated from the fluctuating material mind and the temporarily situated intelligence that deteriates with time . So ,the very constituents that make up the machine of the material body, one by one , he gave them up because he had no attraction for them, so they were permanently removed . He had experienced a higher taste and was transferred to the higher planes where  pure consciousness dominates and has a specific trancendental form to suit .

    Albert Einstein’s  space time continuum hypothesis is very interesting and somewhat correct in Vedic sciences , if we look at it in terms of a responsive material universe and the many material  actions of the living beings centred around and utalising the gross and subtle energies for their own needs and that are  not connected to Divinity in pure ways . We could say the  living beings are leaving a kind of “print ” within the universal affairs within the ethereal plane that calculates the past , the present, and as such future facilities are offered by the ” algorithmic ” material energies they , the Vedas  say are supervised by Divinities agents the Demigods and the Updevas . However , Einstein thought that a gravitational pull that encircles the universe pulling  matter into  a sphere shape  had a  direct and immediate picture of our past and even futures , he thought by “jumping across”  the sphere like universe  at certain places we could jump back into our past or jump into a future. Thus, time he thought  would work at different rates of speed  at different points in the universe. However, time works at various speeds in different ways to what he suggested. The Mayfly lives for 24 hours but feels its life complete , thus, each species feels its life is full as much as anyones,  24 hours feels like 70 years psychologically. Time is relative .

    Einstein although very intelligent was limited to matter , and engrossed within it not understanding fully or grasping   or contemplating an ethereal plane within a responsive universe  supervised by Divinity where one part of the universe knows what another part is doing instantaneously even billions of miles apart ,(spooky action at a distance). Albert Einstein had interesting thoughts but without understanding consciousness and its source or how the consciousness source also manifests multifarious energies both material and spiritual , that are one and different  simultaneously to its  originator , the cause of all causes , Divinity or Krishna , then the guessing goes adrift . So , we can say to Einstein, “That’s an interesting hypothesis, but no , space time curvature is not quite like that .”

  • Sri Guru .

    Feb 15th, 2026

    Sri Guru comes in many forms , we should note Prabhupada says in the Caitanya Caratamrita , Diksa Siksa no difference . Sometimes the Diksa is also the Siksa , meaning they can take a particular disciple where they are qualified to go , but generally in Gaudia Vaisnava history a Siksa Guru completes the task ..What is the task , from beginning to end ? It’s clearly laid out by Srila Rupa Goswami beginning with faith , association to hearing , chanting.

    These stages are:
    1. Shraddha — faith
    2. Sadhu-sanga — association with devotees
    3. Bhajana-kriya — trying to seriously take up the process of devotional service
    4. Anartha-nivrtti — becoming free of all unwanted things
    5. Nistha — steadiness in Krishna consciousness
    6. Ruchi — a deep taste for Krishna consciousness
    7. Asakti — attachment for Krishna
    8. Bhava — ecstasy, the first rays of the sun of love for Krishna
    9. Prema — pure love for Krishna

    Included in the spiritual calculations in terms of further  advancements are .

    Deep smaranam,  ( slight seeking )

    Dharana ( holding Radha Krishna forms and lila in the mind )

    Dhyana ( deeper meditations and details of lilas and aspirations of services)

    Dhruvanasmrti (uninterrupted recollection and inner services)

    These proccess bringing stages of Bhava and in some cases prema .

    Further description are given on the deeper inner esoteric levels

    Sneha , mana , pranaya , Raga, anuraga . Means , Lit heart,  familiarity of sulking , oneness of emotions , trancendental criticism and blame , newer and newer feelings of attraction.

    So the point being , as to why there are Diksa and Siksa Gurus because there are many aspects to complete pure Krishna consciousness , obviously there is a vast range of spiritual consciousness developments,  and Krishna makes arrangements for the devotees as they qualify themselves,  and Sri Guru in their many forms will automatically appear , if you really want Krishna, He appears as specific Gurus.

    No question of your Guru my Guru male Guru female Guru,  Guru is one , the external representative of Krishna and and also an intimate servant of Srimati Radharani in one way or another , some of the cowherd boys are also serving indirectly Srimati Radharani.

    We should know of course the following verse applies,  there is no sentimentality involved but rather realised knowledge and application of Sastra.

    tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta
    jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam
    śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ
    brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam

    Translation

    Therefore, any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master and take shelter of him by initiation. The qualification of the bona fide guru is that he has realized the conclusions of the scriptures by deliberation and is able to convince others of these conclusions. Such great personalities, who have taken shelter of the Supreme Godhead, leaving aside all material considerations, should be understood to be bona fide spiritual masters.

    More ..

    How should institutions deal with a service of being Guru..
    The best policy is to explain clearly and decisively what Gaudia Vaisnava Guru tattva is and leave it to individuals .
    I think the reason for appointments in ISKCON are twofold
    That many Gurus have appointed successors in traditional Vedic settings , but that was in the cases of a small localised villages and geographical areas .
    I think when Prabhupada left the GBC thought it wise to protect devotees, because any Tom dick or Harry or even Gladys could have declared themselves Guru , it could have seriously broken ISKCON, but they went too extreme and became political and mundane in their calculations.
    Srila BR Sridha Swami told them to ease off and allow a more educated spirit to develop and if a person found attraction spiritually in another person and they were somewhat qualified to allow more Gurus …Unfortunately the GBC at that time made BR Sridhar Swami their enemy for saying those things .
    But eventually, through his advice through many discussions, the Guru reform movement came about .
    Things are moving in the right direction, but more work needed , no need to legislate anymore , rather educate .about Diksa Siksa tattva ….let individuals make their own decisions, but if someone is a sentimentalist or does not know tattva , ISKCON could not really approve them as Guru .so some systems are needed for a large institutional spiritual organisations , and careful consideration is needed. No rubber stamping , but a general protection against clearly unqualified persons who are unable to understand the meanings of Sri Guru ..

  • The super subjective plane

    Feb 14th, 2026

    The trancendental humours of loving exchanges of open pure spiritual hearts that have their exclusive focus on Divinity and His family and friends is a goal set by all bone fide theological cultures , and systematic goals are given in progressive steps for that goal to be achieved. “Don’t be an owl like person keeping yourself in in the dark ” says Srila Gour Govinda Swami.
    The Western libertines pervert the idea of freedom and so called” love ” , their freedoms are based on sensual self centred sense gratification and is soley focused on the material body , and a selfish consciousness of I , me and mine , in complete ignorance of the need to culture and refine the inner consciousness and centre it on the super subjective plane of the trancendental realm ….

    The space time continuum that Einstein speaks of can be thought of in Vedic terms, in the sense that your past , present and future are interlinked and active within the responsive universe, the subtle energies are at play along with future arrangements for atoms ,elements and compounds , along with the specific parents the living being will take birth in . The living beings shares in not only the Dna of the parents but also a portion of their subtle energies, ie the way their minds and intelligence functions, although the living beings also carry from previous lives a portion of the last mental and intellectual state .
    Einstein was wrong to suggest we can wind ourselves into the past or future , we can only exist in the present , but with connections to the past and the future coming .
    The trancendental activities of Krishna, however, are eternal. Thus, the pure devotees can join them and experience them in full at any time . Krishna’s activities are not subjected to a past , present, or future . What Krishna did 5000 years ago are not in the past , by pure meditation, one can join any of the pastimes and experience and be part of them .Why should a spiritual superior energy have the same restrictions and limitations of the atomic realms and dream like mental energies.

  • A pilgrims progress for all

    Feb 14th, 2026

    Progressive steps and the bone fide paths .

    The Srimad Bhagavatam reinforces the importance of recognizing bone fide theological texts from all the  religious cultures that  distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all beings . This recognition is based on  dualism and the need for a scientific approach as to what consciousness is . Enquiries into spiritual cultures and philisophical thought are essentially something that satisfy the inner human spirit on so many different levels .The metaphysical and beyond . Western cultures that are  unnecessary slanted in extreme and overly extravagant ways and geared to satisfying unbridled minds and unbridled senses that are being stoked up by atheistic speculators  who also teach scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis as fact based sciences , have a lot to answer for . They team up with the commercial world , the terrible twins . Every theological text places an emphasis on regulated and disciplined lives ,and control of minds and senses opens up the consciousness to its full communicative potential with others and with Divinity Himself . Humans are not supposed to live like  sophisticated animals, and ultra liberalism is always condemned , but so are those that  claim to be religious,  but who cannot see the true equality of all beings or who show disregard for other cultures and theologies . The unbridled senses lead to greater anxiety and entanglements , something the  businessmen and political classes are clueless about, and they dont care to know  . The Vedas  recognize  every theological text and religious culture that pursues and teaches these types of lifestyle   . These methods of gradually developing scientific realisations about our consciousness and  many  methods are explained in the Vedas . Karma yoga , jnana yoga , and astanga yoga and Bhakti yoga bring us these different approaches . In other words, consciousness development through  1, Good works linked to recognised pious activities, and that elevates our consciousness.  2 . Seeking knowledge through science , philosophy, and learning of the  mind , matter and consciousness , and  3 , Deep inward  religious or spiritual meditations and prayer centred on  God  leading ultimately to an esoteric and spiritual plane . The Bhagavatam seeks to link all these different processes to Bhakti or direct devotion to Divinity in services to Him  and in  the development of love . These systematic processes , when followed properly , bring  progressive steps that benefit the individual, and pure knowledge of dualism is thoroughly revived , leading to knowledge and stronger faith and greaterv love and  remembrances of  God . These truths of the Bhagavatam are specifically taught by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, whose hidden appearance is predicted in the 11th canto of the Bhagavatam as the incarnation for this age . He taught that one should study the Bhagavatam in the association of self realised persons and follow these  prescribed methods . Chanting  the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra , or any of the names of God in current times , the Bhagavatam says , can quickly bestow all the truths of the Vedas upon  persons who can chant without offence and in great humility .  It is said in many theological texts sound can bind one or liberate one , if one speaks in anger and envy one is bound in ignorance , if one speaks in peace and knowledge and compassion one can become liberated and full of knowledge. In this way, there are incalculable benefits when one vibrates any  trancendental sound vibrations that properly glorify God with sincerity.  They have effects on the inner workings of our consciousness , and truth follows truth . When one has become purified by such trancendental sounds  , one’s  community , one’s society , one’s country , and ultimately the universal order and its originator Divinity are all immensely pleased . By such purified actions of speaking truths and vibrating Gods names in sacrifice,  with the aim of serving Gods interests , as well as a studying and hearing the trancendental sounds of the  Srimad Bhagavatam  everyone’s life becomes perfected . HIGHLIGHTED IN 1.1.2 THE CULTURE OF PURE DEVTION AS OPPOSED TO MIXED MOTIVATED OR CHEATING DECEITFUL SO CALLED DEVOTION .  RSABDEVA TAUGHT NOT TO BECOME TEACHER. PARENT HUSBAND FATHER , UNLESS YOU CAN DELIVER DEPENDENTS BACK TO GÒDHEAD.

  • Self-centred reckonings or transcendence.

    Feb 13th, 2026

    Beyond Dualities to the absolute realm .

    Curious it is that the word libertine has a relative and an absolute meaning.
    In the absolute realm, all things that are relatively good can be bad, and things that are relatively bad can be good .
    How this is so can be only understood by one who has escaped the dualities of this world, where the self-centred reckonings of conditioned consciousness are making calculations to serve self-centred purposes , be it even religious and good .

    The great writers of trancendental rasa of the highest orders  , and they have  calculated there is perfect , more perfect , and most perfect trancendental lilas categories . Our Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas tell us , these lila pastimes in the ” trancendental playground of spontaneously felt love “are forever exhibited in the “eternal time frames ” of Goloka Vrndavana . This is where the carefree inhabitants are free to express and feel their individual and spontaneous love  for Krishna and his family and friends,  in their trancendental beautiful forms , forms that  have no karmic connections or any  dualites of the mundane forms  made of atoms , elements and compounds,  that are caught up in such things as like ,dislikes , love, hate, honour, dishonour ,etc . Great Gaudia acaryas like Srila Rupa Goswami,  Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and later Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur , to name but a few ,  explain in detail the absolute realms that are forever beyond the dualism of this relative realm . They explain how the supreme enjoyer of pleasure, who is known as Rasaraja Sri Krishna, is enjoying ever increasing trancendental bliss with His family friends and lovers . It is said the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani Herself,  who is the Queen of Vrndavana, ultimately directs everything and how all the rasa ultimately support each other but that the Madhurya rasa contains  all other rasa , thus it is the sweetest of sweet .

    Srila Jayadeva Goswami has a particular benediction to offer in Kali yuga to the most degraded of all persons.

    His benedictions are related to verses in the Srimad Bhagavatam , specifically.

    Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.39

    vikrīḍitaṁ vraja-vadhūbhir idaṁ ca viṣṇoḥ
    śraddhānvito ’nuśṛṇuyād atha varṇayed yaḥ
    bhaktiṁ parāṁ bhagavati pratilabhya kāmaṁ
    hṛd-rogam āśv apahinoty acireṇa dhīraḥ

    Translation

    Anyone who faithfully hears or describes the Lord’s playful affairs with the young gopīs of Vṛndāvana will attain the Lord’s pure devotional service. Thus, he will quickly become sober and conquer lust, the disease of the heart.

    Thus, the mysterious Srimad Bhagavatam unfolds, and its meaning must be heard from the pure devotees.
