Humans , animals, and all of the species are not visible before their birth , they do however exist in their subtle form awaiting for the new arrangement of the atoms , elements and compounds to programme themselves accordingly . The information for the selection process is contained within ones previous attachments in subtle form and within particular karmic synchronicities , and then its devolved into mattee , the Divine algorithms easily do their work, as much as Ai easily brings forth informations exchanges, and automatically the responsive universe awards similarly minded persons, or sometimes enemies to become parents or relatives. The Srimad Bhagavatam makes these matters clear…
We would hasten to add the many possibilities of quantum physics and the work of Bohr and Schrödinger who studied the Vedas to an extent parallels the Bhagavad Gita’s teachings .
Matter responds to consciousness in many, many ways , some obvious some not so .
In the Vedas Jnana yoga means to intelligently acquire knowledge, and Sankhya means to apply the knowledge with thoughtfulness and discernment accordingly and in different stages of life or different situations and time periods .
The fanatical unthinking religionists lack sankhya and discernment
It’s said by the great spiritual teachers that Vrndavana is not a geographical place situated somewhere in India but in real terms its a state of mind , Holy places from every culture can be regarded as the same .
Equally, the vibration of God’s names can either be truely spiritual or heavily tinged with materialism .
The world we see around us can either be seen as God intended us to see it, or we can view it independently..
The thief looks at your money one way. The honest person sees it honestly.
The fact is, Holy Lands are sacred because either God Himself or His pure representatives act there , they decend from their higher planes and spiritual activities are eternally manifested, but to connect with them one requires to develop spiritual consciousness . The Holy names of God have God fully present within them , but one must develop the proper attitudes to come before God . The Christians sing all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small , but to see these connections to God, one requires devotion.
The man of miserly consciousness or the theif requires rectification then and only then will the real benefit of approach of Divinity and the outcome of widom be gained . Because God is all merciful, as are His devotees coming in touch with them in any way, they have benefit spiritually.
Even materially you can have the Bible , Koran, Torah or Bhagavad Gita in your room , but if you don’t read them or follow their instructions a little benefit will be there , but your consciouseness and attitudes needs to change , in doing so Krishna says, you will see Me in everything and everything in Me. Ultimately, when one is a pure devotee, one can enter and understand the spiritual world even whilst supposing to have a material body .
Put cold iron in fire , and it’s transformed into fire .
Unless one seriously practices developed of a spiritual form and indentify, he or she will remain attached to a material one .
Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates in his purport of Bhagavad Gita 1.11 , that Arjuna thought Dharma sastra ( duties ) were more important than Artha sastra ( political considerations ). However, Krishna indicated above both are the Jnana Sastra , * (development of philosophical and spiritual widom ) and was more important . Krishna indicated to Arjuna that with Jnana Sastra knowledge , he would be well able to discriminate on how to apply a successful application of knowledge based on dualism and the ultimate considerations that he should hold in his heart as the topmost importance, beyond body mind and material considerations. . The problems we all face are forgetting our ultimate relationship with God and putting other plans within the mortal world above the plan and wishes of our most intimate well wisher , Lord Krishna. The Artha sastra indicates how political structure should operate , but such structures also have elements of Dharma, which means they must be properly carried out duties within morality and ethical standards. If those who practice politics discard Dharma, they should be rejected as hopeless leaders who will bring great harm . Ultimately, only jnana sastra can help one understand Dharma and Artha sastra . Jnana, also when linked with pure Bhakti, can take one to the trancendental knowledge of Krishna… and ultimately to spontaneously loving Divinity .
Certainly, in today’s society, we see a vast array of conflicting views on what should be correctly viewed as justified and fair political structures and practices . Also, there are debates on how one should regard commitments to duties and responsibilities in family and social relationships . Liberalisation can change everything for the worse , especially if scientific materialism is at its heart .We can also say with the introduction of subjective sciences wherein speculations are accepted as fact based science and best guessing is held in high asteem , and with logic with rationale appearing to take second place , things are going a little off track to say the least when it come to bone fide methods of aquiring knowledge .
The original Vedas, are eternal , in other words pure knowledge is always present , it stems from Divinity Himself and its inspirational and transferred to seekers of truth. Truth is always present, but can we see it ? Divinity has the responsibility to bring truth and the real intelligensia understand its various forms. The honest intelligentsia brings the proper balance . An integration and applications of Artha sastra, Dharma sastra, and jnana sastra within Bhakti ( devotional) sastra in all its progressive steps . Without the guidance and knowledge of the essential fundermentals required for human existence, which will bring purposeful and progressive lives based on dualism, we are simply decending into sophisticated animals who fight over territories and live for one life of sense gratification , like a street dog . The philosophical outlooks and the arts which open hearts , are neglected or ignored . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Darwinians suppose life is somehow and automatically selecting best options , this can be said somewhat true in regards to microevolution . Due to environmental changes , the fittest automatically survives, that’s common sense .However ….selection caused by environmental changes and unguided mutations causing macro speciation remains subjective guessing , the evidence is absent. Selection means a selector and dna codes are automatically doing selecting , the real question should be what is the origin of the codes and information. The only thing going on in a body construction throughout all the species is that molecules are moving towards the construction of a body in a highly organised way with the use of a script . A car plant with robotics is the example. The robots are selecting action using the computer programme on a mass scale . In the Darwinian hypothoisis model , we can say monkeys are randomly bashing away on keys and producing a perfect script .….life is never going to work that way ….how foolhardy are the Darwinians to ignore the obvious script of dna . Observing objectively is something someone does using truth , logic, and discernment. A speculative person with pre concieved ideas person can not do so . A thief can not observe someone’s money objectively. He thinks it can be his . The honest person genuinely sees intelligent design everywhere .
The vedas define that the fundermentals of intelligence begin when one’s intelligence understands mater and spirit or consciousness , this is what is called dualism .Consciousness and matter are two entirely different substances . This is the beginning of a real and beneficial intelligence , anything outside of it is currupted intelligence or speculation. With the world raving about Ai, this all-important calculation should be included within it , if not many of the options offered and calculations made are originating from false premises .
“Perverted intelligence” in a spiritual context within religions like Jainism or Hinduism , Christianity, etc , describes a distorted or misguided understanding that will hinder spiritual progress. In a psychological and social sense, it can describe an individual who uses high intelligence for harmful, unethical, or socially disruptive purposes.
If self selection and self-preservation are at the heart of the Darwinian hypothesis, one could ask why does man live shorter lives than whales or the giant tortoise. Nobody wants to die …..
“Darwinian self-preservation is a core component of natural selection, where individuals best adapted to their environment have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, passing on advantageous traits to their offspring. “Self selection” isn’t a precise term in evolutionary theory but likely refers to the inherent drive for organisms to favor traits and behaviors that enhance their own survival and reproduction, leading to the differential success of advantageous variations within a population over time. “
In reality, no one knows why ageing affects different beings differently. Look at the redwood tree . The tree is living as much as man is living . The scientific community are clueless about the mysterious circumstances that surround time and life , but they like to convince children and the beguiled public that they are masters of knowledge. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Unfortunately with social and a mainstream media 95% of people are taught what to think instead of how , and its getting worse .
One needs to aquire the means to identify truth .
Although morals , ethics , philosophy , theological sciences as well as clear objective sciences are essential in helping us to access truthfulness, we also need to check our own motivations . Are we sincere searchers for truth . A sincere searcher for truth becomes truthful and honest about their own flaws and weaknesses , an honest assessment of oneself is useful because truth is attracted to those who are honest , the possitive is attracted to the negative . Humility is the first point of knowledge. One of the symptoms of truth is to see the true equality of every living being and become their well wisher . There are many other symptoms of truth , such as not to encroach on others territories everyone has their lot , and they deserve it , and we should be in the minxd to preserve it .
Purely translated theological texts from every culture chime in the same way , as do good philosophical thoughts . Dont let anyone get in your way to understand truth and thoughtfulness , find a truely honest teacher who have the symptoms of truthfulness, and apply their teachings truthfully .
The vedic way ..
No question of in or out .
Heaven or hell
But rather prescribed methods of many different regulations for persons either in ignorance, in passion , in goodness , or who have transcended material living .
The Vedas teach in very practical ways that everyone can live with purpose . The outsider may look in without understanding the variables of the Vedas and how everyone is catered for The progressive march of social and spiritual mobility for everyone is the Vedic way.
To understand truth , first understand the untruthful. When you understand the untruthful and the qualities they have and their Modus operandi , from that point you can test the truth , the truth is self evident to the person who lives in truth . There is no American truth , British truth ,Chinese truth, or Indian truth , truth is truth and truth comes along with beauty and harmony. The Vedas list the four types of persons who can not surrender to truth and the five types of irreligious persons , some of whom claim affiliation to religion . We live in the material world , and it begins with deceit , illusion, and ignoring truth . Nevertheless, the truth and the absolute truth can be accessed by those who are seeking absolute truth . Once one thing is known in truth , everything is known http://www.thevedicspectator.com
I believe the most important messages of Rathayatra are not only the internal reasons , those that, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda prabhu have revealed to the world , and that have been understood by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who has established the Rathayatra festival all over the world . The external reasons also are just as important, for instance, pulling the rope of the Rath, signifying that one is beginning to pull Lord Krishna into ones own heart , bringing an offering of devotional service to Krishna . Everyone can get the benefit of serving and seeing the Lord on the day of Rathayatra , some persons are forbidden to enter the temple ordinarily. Further celebrations and meanings of The Rathayatra are calculated by Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas as the internal reasoning of the Lord in Mathura. As Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati says , in his Caitanya Caratamrita comment, Lord KRISHNA again wanted to taste the parakiya rasa of the Gopies of Vraja . So He leaves Mathura to go to Vrndavana, the gardens at Gondicha remind him of Vrndavana, and the Puri Temple is like Mathura . Ultimately, we know , on another level, that the Rathayatra festival represents Mahaprabhu understanding and relishing Srimati Radharani’s mood of unparalleled love , Mahaprabhu is relishing that love as well as distributing it to one and all . Srila Prabhupada ISKCON movement is directly distributing this same rasa at all the world’s Rathayatra festivals and is giving the most fallen a chance to pull the ropes of the Rath and begin to pull Krishna into their lives as well as to witness and hear the chanting of Hare Krishna by the devotees brought to them by Krishna’s pure devotee Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The mood of intense separation as well as a prospective union of Srimati Radharani at Kurukshetra with Krishna is represented at the Rathayatra . At this meeting, Srimati Radharani invites Lord Krishna to ” return ” with Her to Vrndavana . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur says it is displaying Srimati Radharani at Her most desperate moments. Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur desired to reside in Kurukshetra because the greatest service is done to someone when they most need it …He as Kamala Manjari wanted to assist Srimati Radharani in these desperate times . So, Srila Prabhupada following in Mahaprabhu’s and Nityananda mood is distributing this Parakiya rasa to everyone worldwide , and that is transcendentally inconceivable.
The Babajis and traditional Brahminical men of India are due every respect, but they do not understand the preaching mood of Prabhupada or Nityananda…sometimes they complain that Rathayatra should be only on one occasion and only in Puri .ISKCON should not extend it worldwide . That’s OK….we are not all extensively preaching… Each to their own ….and we respect their sentiments. But we respectfully disagree because the Vaiṣṇavas find newer and newer meanings to applications of Sastra, and both the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta are forever expanding such is the power and purity of Mahaprabhu’s devotees
From the Vedic perspective, we can chime with those who advocate traditional theological cultures and family traditions . But equally, the Vedic students understand the principles of non-violence all around to every living being . The Vedic students are strict vegetarians , but putting that to one side , any Christian, Hindu , Muslim or Jew who is not calling out recent murderous campaign’s in Gazza and Africa by out of control atheistic leaders , or of those that may in their madness convince themselves God is on my side , and kills women and children and is seriously misguided in their approach to scriptures , so , if they are not called out , then religious persons are failing in their religious duty. Defending ones homeland is legitimate , so in those cases, warfare is sometimes necessary, and the rules of war are in the Vedas as well as international laws , no women and children, or no combatant persons Recently , Putin warned Nato not to move on to his borders with militarism, the geopolitical scholars know he had legitimate concerns , and it’s a Nato led lie that he wanted to invade the whole of Ukraine. What Israel has done is unacceptable by any sane man’s reckoning, the history of the middle east is clear to legitimate scholars , and Palestinians have rights , Israel have been systematically taking away those rights from them ,and international law know it and voice it . The USA and ISRAEL Zionist movements are not God’s work . Rather the work of the politically currupt who have infiltrated the democratic and religious world . They are ruthless business men who will stop at nothing, even when brought to the international courts , they ignore rulings. they will never admit to truths . Bhagavad Gita gives the run down on the mind of such persons. Krishna speaks of the divine and demoniac qualities , a whole chapter is dedicated to that topic . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
By tapasya and austerity ones intelligence and thoughtfulness increase , a thoughtful person can begin to see the obvious intelligently arranged world they live in and understands their own limitations , in doing so they surrender themselves intelligently to the process given to them by previous great thinkers and philosophers of devotion who have left the path clearly marked out . By following that path, they feel within himself great gains that can be corroborated by other saints, other Gurus, and by bone fide theological texts . The epistemological Vedic system, along with the etymology of the saints who understand scriptures and their meaning and produce the Smriti .sastra will be revealed .
Most importantly in current time the process of chanting the Holy names of the Lord , the Maha Mantra , as given by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the acaryas is the means by which the widom of the Guru Sadhu and Sastra are properly revealed, Krishna reveals them , He is fully present along with the spiritual kingdom in His name .
The process of successful chanting is also given by Mahaprabhu, who has left us eight all-important verses to comprehend and act out in this regard.
The Vedic way is for all persons to connect with Divinity through the peripheral or cor teachings that are set out in the Artha sastra, the Dharma sastra , the Jnana sastra and the Bhakti Sastra , everyone fits and the systematic proggressions are quite natural. It is Krishna’s wish that everyone takes advantage of good teachers in all the various departments of wisdom that offer social and spiritual mobility.
The general principles of the Vedic societies are that specific persons with specific qualifications , realisations , or skill sets in specific areas that are inherant within them since birth , due to previous lives , are brought out and perfected by further education as well as association , they will all take up differing roles within society quite naturally . Administrative posts , business enterprise , crafts and practical skills, and finally persons with theological or theosophy liking as well as philosophical leanings . The percentages, according to the Vedas , of people fitting particular roles remain very steady right throughout all societies historically, and indeed, this is objectively seen . In order for societal cohesion it’s very important, and Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita , that a particular type of person with particular qualities are suited for a specific roles in society , and persons should not take up someone else’s duties , as that will lead to an imbalance.
For instance, a businessman is a profit driven man , and he will not be able to consider the multifarious needs of the population nor the creatures that live within the countryside.
However, the man with greater vision , an administrator , will understand those needs , and still further, another man , the philosophical and theological , will understand much greater aspects of humanities and the creatures needs in terms of the individual consciousness , in the human case , along with philosophical developments , and the environment needs of creatures . A bigger picture and the greater questions of life are understood by great thinkers , God always sees to it that such persons live alongside , they give the best directions.
Without having the right persons influences in the key positions , society becomes unbalanced and unsteady and unproductive . Greater ignorance of the key values and intolerance increases, essential knowledge as well as all-around education becomes stifled . The all important intelligentsia who have everyone’s interest at heart are silenced or pushed out , either by , political operators, fanatical religionists , or ultra Liberalists driven by business conglomorates who favour scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis . Unfortunately, they own and control much of the mainstream and social media ,they also spend money to fix legislation their way with the help of political allies . The results have been a widespread teaching of subjective scientific speculations as fact based science to children . Children should be taught critical thinking, not just what to think .
The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam give in-depth details of the Vedic societies makeup and different people’s qualities for various occupational activities. Not specifically by birthright but inherant qualities within. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has translated them to English.
Srila Jiva Goswami tattva Sandarbha brings us insights into pure knowledge free from self-motivated mental speculations based on sense gratification or impersonal liberalisation.
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 ,in all places . Truthful persons from every culture throughout history, or indeed any part of the 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 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 insect , 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 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 and we having a connection to everything thst 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.
