“ ‘The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Kṛṣṇa’s name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Kṛṣṇa Himself. Since Kṛṣṇa’s name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with māyā. Kṛṣṇa’s name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa Himself are identical.’

Stones can not become light but light photons can strike stones .

The trancendental decending process of Divine sound.

Krishna’s names bring the greatest of benedictions , access, and entrance into the recorded writings of the Rasika acaryas . It was Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself that taught by example . He questioned Ramananda Roy about the truths of the spiritual realms of Goloka Vrndavana . Later Mahāprabhu gave these truths to Srila Rupa Goswami, who, along with the other Goswami’s of Vrndavana, recorded their deep meditations of Lila . They were revealing to the world their original position and services in love to Radha Krishna and teaching others how to .

The pure chanting of the names of God reveals these truths .

In the Bhagavatam its said that in pure God consciousness the material body is almost eradicated,  meaning its conditioned influences.

If a prisoner was sent to prison at the age of 15 and released at 85 years of age,  on coming back to civilian freedoms , he  would be hard pushed to adjust , he would be so conditioned that his inner consciousness would be deeply thinking of imprisonment night and day .

Likewise, aspiring devotees are identifying with conditioned life and somewhat of spiritual life , according to their advances . However holy names are so powerful and the spiritual lilas are so powerful that the divine sound and lilas clear practically everything within a conditioned heart and death is the final small step to a spiritual world that practically one is already living in .

Many have misunderstandings.
Einstein believed in an order , similar to the impersonal conception of God in the Vedas . The vedas say God has no form,  meaning material form. i.e., He has no legs, no hands etc etc .This refers to God not having a material body like ours subjected to laws of nature. Rather, God has created the laws of nature to facilitate the responsive universe within which free will and determinism are administered.
But  Divinity and His sat cit ananda spiritual form is another matter .
A form that is simultaneously everywhere but nowhere , who is inside and simultaneously outside, who is near but far .
That’s what Einstein means in his understanding of God , but Einstein had not furthered his knowledge of localised forms of God as the Holy ghost , or paramatma . He had not applied himself to or accepted scholars of the Vedas who would have clearly explained  further God’s form within the spiritual planets , the Vedas call Him  Bhagavan with His form of eternity knowledge and bliss. Within the Vaikuthas He is situated in formal settings, and He is  the most complete in His  beauty within Goloka Vrndavana, where pure loving exchanges take place intimately without any formality with numerous devotees in five primary relationships

The Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras, explains all .

Truth means dualism, so mind matter and consciousness. That’s the truth .
Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis negates truth and favours a speculative process .
The speculative processes of jnana yoga acknowledge dualism but are prone to impersonal philosophy that God is an impersonal energy and is not an individual in His own right .
The question that they  can not answer is why God particles are covered by ignorance.
Thus, the personalist give the correct understanding that we are parts of God .
But He is  like the sun we are photons .
God is the cause of all causes. We have been caused .
But God is never caused .
Consciousness and the responsive universe are acceptable to Einstein, Bohr and Schrödinger and many physicists. The many possibilities of quantum physics are so because atoms are formulated and arranged following consciousness.
In fact, the expanding universe only expands because of activity and desire .

The fact that only 5% of the universe is made of atoms and the as yet unidentifiable ” dark matter and dark energies ” is  so mysterious to those following scientific materialism, could be easily solved if the ethereal plane as depicted in the Vedas is looked at . Dualism is a key mind , matter and consciousness study is required.

With 8,400,000 different species of life and with each individual living being assigned an individual mind and intelligence suited for a particular species , but who are endlessly changing bodies  to adjust to desire of an individual consciousness , and with 14 planetary systems within which countless billions of universes are situated , no one can accuse God of not providing ample opportunities for countless living beings to express their free will . Free will is  the inherant quality of the soul , expressions of spiritual culture bring one to a spiritual plane , and expression in matter brings one to matter . Every one get a fair crack of the whip .

Free will and determinism need facilitating, and a legislative response  within a responsive universe is in place . The universe  follows us, and our desires and our actions determine our lot .

The Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras, provides us with all the information of the sciences of mind , matter, and consciousness both within the material and spiritual planes .Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all in his publications, which are excellent for everyone to know of all sorts of sciences.

When Srila Vyasadeva is in his deep and mature  meditation, saw Lord  Krishna behind Lord krishna he also saw Maya devi or Durga Devi, an expansion of the Supreme Goddess of fortune .

The expression I have got your back can be considered..

“I’ve got your back” (often heard as “I got your back”) is an idiom meaning “I support you,” “I’ll protect you,” or “I’ll watch out for you”; it signifies loyalty and reassurance that someone will be there to help, defend, or look out for you, acting like a second set of eyes or hands. 

Can Durga Devi be considered in this way ?

Everything about the supreme spiritual realm is personal , Lord Krishna is the most exhaulted of all personalities and to satisfy His emaculate senses with  pure attitudes of loving service in  very personal and in  innumerable ways is the only “business” of the residents of the spiritual abodes .

Srimati Radharani is the topmost devotee of Krishna and acts as the best servant , the best  friend  , with aldo somewhat motherly effection , and ultimately as His best of all  lovers . Naturally, if you love someone deeply , part of that love is to see to it no disturbances in any way are brought before the person you love . Actually, injustices of any kind or uncouth behaviour will not be tolerated. Everyone should conduct themselves properly and with perfectly exhibited spontaneous loving moods before the Supreme Personality of Godhead . Durga Devi sees to it that the uncouth can not approach Krishna . She  also indirectly and directly instigates a training programme for the benefits of the living beings so everyone can learn trancendental selfless and pure love , and come to understand Krishna as the Supreme Rasaraja , who openly  desires to purely exchange His open heart with everyone in a most glorious way . Before entering  Vrndavana, the replica in India , you will pass Lord Siva and Durga Devi. Lord Siva has some connections with Maha Visnu in injecting the living beings within matter and Srimati Radharani in Her expansion as Durga weilds the rod of chastisement.

More on this soon .

Madhurya means sweet,  and everything and everyone is sweet in Vrndavana. Everyone’s beautiful hearts are overflowing with blissful , ever new, and  enthusiastic love for each other and Krishna . These extraordinary pastimes of the  spiritual planes in VRNDAVANA are  played out in sometimes unusual and contradictory ways …..In the absolute spiritual plane of Vrndavana the highest of spiritual abodes , all formality is left behind.  Lying is all good , cheating is all good , deceiving is all good , even when Krishna kills demons that come to disturb his ” earthbound ” lila pastimes  become blessed as well as  liberated from all their miseries caused by being confined to the material world .

In the esoteric realms of Vraj  exclusive devotion and services to Srimati Radharani are the supreme goal of the Gaudia Vaisnavas .  Services to Her confidential companions are considered even more relishable , one can understand Radha Krishna through services to their companions’ understanding of Radha Krishna. However,  it’s not just Radharani who is served . According to the relationship the devotees have with Krishna  , one closest associate will be  determined. Lord Balarama and  His friends ,  Mother Yasodha and her friends , even  services to the creatures and trees and the very soil of Vrndavana brings one immediately in contact with Krishna in unique and particular ways .

Each of these relationships brings immense  joy to Krishna . Of course, Srimati Radharani, the Supreme Goddess of Fortune,  ultimately conducts  Vrndavana’s services to Her Krishna, and all are dependent on Her . She directly and indirectly conducts everything of the affairs of Vrndavana, but she in Her great humility remains dependent on everyone..

After arguing with Krishna Radharani, says to her friends ” it’s only by your blessings and good wishes that Krishna will accept me back again into His life  “

When one loses touch with   absolute truth , other truths inevitably slide into a continual decline, spiralling  faster and  further into the oblivion of deceit . Such is the nature of the illusory energy of Divinity , which awards 8,400,000 different species where those untruths can be lived out . Truth declines so much in current times that any man speaking truth is ridiculed or in todays world silenced , some call it cancel culture, and the persons who are speaking lies are glorified as truthful and visionary. Current  algorithmic processes and Ai assisted technologies assist the  dishonest greatly.
The most cooked of persons , who together snatch the worlds recourses , pay very  good money to anyone who will repeat their lies , one becomes the servant of the “devil ” . And with algorithms deliberately   set to favour untruths, the rascals and demoniac see to it that things will work in their favour, the unthinking public, are easily fooled .
Welome to the world where fools have voted in fools .. and where the Godless reign.  To understand absolute truth, one’s lordship  of matter and argumentations against absolute truth should be reversed , logic and objective sciences should be accepted. One of the greatest untruths are Darwinian hypothesis and scientific materialism,  they are guessing,  but presented as as absolute ttuth , these untruths are the foundations our global conglomerate material world and its politics of ruthless explotation and disrespect of others and their cultures. Acceptance and adoption of a humility of  heart should be accepted along with a general respect for all beings , along with compassionate thoughts . With truth comes a natural detachment , and peace within the heart will as the beginnings of a relationship with Divinity will be underway .

In entering and understanding Radha Krishna Nitya lila pastimes getting the correct Sanskrit word meaning obviously is somewhat essential to fully describe the specific lilas that are described from the writings of the acaryas who are literally spiritually immersed within the lila and relishing all the mellows , perfectly describing them due to their pure love in Bhakti yoga .

For instance, when Krishna approaches Srimati Radharani through his ecstatic glance ,within the township of Vrndavana,  if one mistranslates the Sanskrit and literally has Krishna walking up and approaching Radharani , it would an incorrect translation . In the company of Radharani’s mother in law and others who are not directly involved in knowledge of particular pastimes,  Krishna could and never would  walk directly up to Srimati Radharani . However,  He and She may approach each other by lightning glances that are described by the Rasika acaryas. The ultimate essence and relishing of the mellows of pure devotional lilas , Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj says , can’t be experienced by any other process than the decending process , or being allowed to enter Krishna lila through the pure chanting of the Names and of rendering services of all kinds   to those Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas who have shown by their prayers and examples their services to Radharani and Krishna or through the friends of Krishna,  but that process a purely remembering the eternal spiritual lilas may decend . It is ,  however, obviously important and may assist  meditations to understand how exactly the acayas have described in their trancendental trances specific  pastimes.

We cannot neglect or minimise these technicalities of language,  but we can also remember,  its not merely by such technicalities that one enters into Krishna lila,  but only through grace and development of pure Bhakti which is bestowed by Bhakti devi and the pure devotees of Krishna,  the causless mercy.

Mercy above justice , as Srila BR Sridhar Swami once said .

http://www.thevedicspectator.com

Lord Balarama the first expansion of Krishna.

Srila BR Sridhar Swami would say all discord is harmonized in the absolute.
What is that discord?
Conditioned nature or spiritual nature ?
What is meant by  someone’s nature ?
In the material world ones nature is acquired by one’s own  material actions generated by universal affairs in a responsive universe
In the spiritual world, ones eternal and original spiritual nature is revealed when one gives up material nature . Spiritual life is an uncovering process, a cleansing of temporary nature acquired by ignoring the spiritual reality.
Material natures can change , free will and our choices change , conditioned nature is endlessly mutable, but spiritual nature is dynamic ever increasing and permanently situated beyond the atoms , elements, and compounds . Love, in its real pure  form, is always increasing , to love and be loved is the inherant nature of the consciousness because we are part and parcels of Divinity who possesses that nature.
All the spiritually minded individuals, although sometimes appearing in discordant ways , as the personality effects inevitably bring to the consciousness, are harmonized in the absolute . Everyone in the spiritual realm has pure intentions but different intentions towards Krishna , or God .
Lord Balarama , who is Krishna’s first expansion , brings forth various expansions and multifarious energies , both spiritual and material in nature .Our conditioned minds and conditioned intelligences  are part of His energies that make up our own subtle body .
We have a gross and subtle body, but that is not our permanent condition but rather that material nature is forever in fluctuation , it responds to desire , the many possibilities of quantum physics,  one could say is playing out .
Balarama, through His expansions called Mula Sankarsan, Maha Sankarsan and  Maha Visnu, and all his  corresponding energies, both material and spiritual, serves Krishna in incalculable ways .
Balarama is the original Guru for all beings, and the particles of eternal consciousness, the living beings, all expand from Him . Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s first expansion is Lord Balarama, and He is said to be non different that Krishna.
Lord Balarama is the great servant of Kṛṣṇa and encourages us to follow in the service mode .

It’s indeed inconceivable that the innumerable individual living beings who each possess a unique sense of individuality can, in an individual way, express that towards Divinity.

In glorifying Jesus Christ, we should remember Bethlehem and the Holy Lands are not mere geopolitical locations but rather refelect a state of the pure spiritual mind , although this this is little understood. Enemies are not so much external forces or even other countries or other faiths, but rather, they come from within ourselves and in hellish consciousnesswe create hell for ourselves and others around us . Many times, it is the case that someone’s faith makes them proud and arrogant,  quite the opposite qualities of saints . There are different types of irreligions  , including those who twist the meaning to suit the personal ends of a particular group of persons living in a geographical location .The five types of irreligion are given in the Vedas . The enemy can literally be within and at times at  the very heart of our own faith . If our scholars and theologians mistranslate or misinterpret pure scripts we are led by the irreligious.
Jesus Christs’ persecution, for instance, came from within the establishment.
In spiritual life, we should guard against our own minds and look out for fanaticism of any kind ,  and  we should be somewhat familiar with theological values , and those  who  misinterpret scripts can be identified.

The pogues .

The Pogues Xmas song reminds us of the fragile condition of human nature that is liable to erupt and explode at any time , but also we are reminded of the nature of a pure consciousness and forgiveness.  Good hearts are actually inherant. All beings have potential.

Hildegard von Bingen.

Any person who wants to understand the real heart of Christianity can do so in  profound ways . Examining the life and works of Hildegard von Bingen, the trancendental musician,  artist , philosopher, and pure theologian who is able to transmit the pure original teaching of Jesus and his Divine father is well worth studying.

We should remember Vrndavana or Bethlehem or Mecca or the like are ultimately a state of pure mind , not a geographical location , and they are representative of the spiritual kingdoms.
