Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur was a magistrate who worked for the British Raja for some time in 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 to the teachings of Gaudia Vaisnavism and particularly the conclusions that were  presented by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Mahaprabhu brought new insights into the mysterious and wonderful lives of the Gopies of Vrndavana and  revealed to the world the supreme position of Srimati Radharani.

At first, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur was puzzled about the great Caitanya Mahāprabhu,  who was known to be a great scholar and Pandit, He 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. The Thakur thought it , at least initially strange that later in Mahāprabhu’s life , He had  became so  absorbed in 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 .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , the son of Srila Bhaktivinod , himself was once was 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 in the Srimad Bhagavatam 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

niṣkiñcanasya bhagavad-bhajanonmukhasya
pāraṁ paraṁ jigamiṣor bhava-sāgarasya
sandarśanaṁ viṣayiṇām atha yoṣitāṁ ca
hā hanta hanta viṣa-bhakṣaṇato ’py asādhu

Translation

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

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.

One should consult the mature Gaudia Vaisnava about these two verses and their 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 several instructions. He would say all the beautiful ladies who are most definitely very attractive in this world have temporarily borrowed plumes from a higher realm  that in this world time eradicates . Such a reflection of an eternal reality finds its perfection in a spiritual plane only .

Ultimately, the Srimad Bhagavatam teaches us  in spiritual life, there are  no voids  but rather everything there  is full of beauty and spiritual varigatedness and that Krishna is  the Supreme Autocrat and He  unlimitedly shares  trancendental bliss and beauty in unlimitedly in numerous ways.

If you go walking in the countryside today you are unlikely to hear many birds,  as the  proverbial saying  goes ” not a dickie bird ” or hardly any .

What happened to the greenfinch,  the chaffinch,  the skylark , the woodpecker,  the swifts and swallow,  the blackbird or the song thrush.

Do the governments  care , do the global conglomerates care , does anyone even think its a problem,  after all as long as we have our mobile phones and our  internet connections the world can go to hell ,and if people are being killed in wars …Well as long as its not on our doorstep.

The fools vote in fools , the intelligent select good leadership,  what does the current state of the world say for our education system?

Time to educate , but education based on objective science and the working  of mind , matter and consciousness.

The Darwinian and scientific materialism education systems fail the world, as does extremists who assume they understand the theological teachings of their set religions .

The real Intelligentsia should be sought , who understands  self-evident truths , once one knows one thing well, everything is known .

Bhagavad Gita is a training manual for the consciousness…

The Vedic therapeutic paths to perfect life .
Are all described in the Bhagavad Gita as it is .
Krishna is the greatest of psychological Proffesors , and the material world is the great training ground . There is a flavour of perfection in everything. The reflection always shows something of reality.
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all in his explanations , specifically targeted at the Western audience.

Understanding and loving God and thus all of His creation and His parts and parcels is needed .

If you want to see God, you must have no other interest other than God . If you have other interests, you’ll see only His illusory energies.
Love works like that , a person in deep deep love cannot think of anything other than his or her lover .
When the mother sees the tiny slippers of her child , she immediately feels love in her heart .
The Srimad Bhagavatam gives an extremely thorough explanation of what love

A curious state of affairs……

“Many American Christians, particularly evangelicals, strongly support Israel due to a combination of religious beliefs, perceived fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and strategic geopolitical considerations. This support is often rooted in Christian Zionism, which links the existence of the modern state of Israel with the second coming of Jesus Christ. “
“Judaism does not accept Jesus Christ as a representative of God, the Messiah, or the Son of God. Jews believe in the absolute unity and singularity of God, and consider the Christian concept of the Trinity and Jesus’ divinity to be a form of idolatry, which is forbidden in Judaism. Additionally, Jewish eschatology, which outlines the characteristics of the Messiah and the Messianic Age, has not been fulfilled by Jesus according to Jewish interpretation. “

“Yet , according to the Gospels, it was Jewish religious leaders, specifically the chief priests and elders, who initially brought Jesus to the Roman authorities, specifically Pontius Pilate, and requested his crucifixion. They did this because they viewed Jesus as a threat to their religious authority and social order.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Jewish Leaders’ Concerns:
The Jewish leaders, particularly the high priest Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, believed Jesus was blaspheming by claiming to be the Son of God and challenging their authority. They also feared that his popularity could lead to unrest and potentially provoke a Roman crackdown.
Denunciation to Pilate:
The Jewish leaders, including the chief priests and elders, handed Jesus over to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and accused him of claiming to be “King of the Jews,” which was a direct challenge to Roman authority.
Roman Involvement:
While the Jewish leaders initiated the process, it was Pilate who ultimately had the authority to order Jesus’s crucifixion. He initially tried to avoid the decision, but under pressure from the crowd (incited by the Jewish leaders), he ultimately condemned Jesus to death.”
“The Rabbis did not use specific Old Testament passages to put Jesus to death. Instead, they are believed to have used passages from the Hebrew Bible to justify their condemnation of Jesus, primarily focusing on accusations of blasphemy and false prophecy.”

It was Jesus Christ who was handed over to the Roman governor by the religious establishment at the time , those who could not understand the truths he was speaking, “old establishment ” is a problem throughout history , those priest desperately looked through their scriptures and gave fake and twisted interpretations to their followers and the Roman governments , and demanded the death of Jesus .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja also established Gaudia Vaisnavism and within Vrndavana itself , and many of the establishment, either in their methods and interpretaion of how to conduct Bhajan , particuarly one’s personal life standards , were challenged by Srila Bhaktisiddanta . He also pointed out their incorrectly interpreting how Varna Ashram should be applied , it in reality should be based on someone’s quality, not birth , thus, social and spiritual mobility is key to understanding Varna Ashram.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja had rocks thrown at him and his followers, and in different parts of India, his life was threatened.
Truth is hard to bear for old establishments or those who have demonic tendencies , but who Mahaprabhu has come to give benedictions to

It is interesting to note , as the Vedas indicates,  that although the supersoul is situated in each atom , and thus exhibits His all pervasive energies and consciousness , still the aspect of Divinity in everyone’s heart obviously functions much differently and very personally to each living being . The same supersoul however , utalising the atoms , elements and compounds within which He is situated wraps the living being in matter , and according to Karmic synchronicities arranges the events and time period as well as species of everyone…
So the obvious conclusion is what one part of the universe is doing , even though trillions of miles apart , is instantly known to the other part .Thus consciousness travels at a speed that’s incalculable and obviously millions of times faster than light ..

Actually Divinity as the supersoul moves His energies in many many ways , he signals molecular to move towards life .

Recently the BBC gave a Darwinian narrative about DNA and future prospects…

BBC ” scientific ” narrative pumped out this am , a Darwinian led narrative.

” we in the future will be able to read all the dna codes , dna codes are like a bar code , and then …wait for it …….” in the future we can create our own DNA codes molecular by molecular and create our own life a new human being “
This foolishness is aired to the public of hopes for a future .
The reality……molecules dont move towards life , as particles of iron wont move on their own , but place a magnet close and they will move , so ask any synthetic chemist about molecules moving towards life , something else is at play , there are information exchanges going on at many different levels during the assembly of the body , not just the information in the DNA codes . .
Another point. Can everyone who reads music or books create original music or an original novel ?
Or is there something else going on ?

And the final point …..can I humbly suggest you start with building one blade of grass from scratch, and produce a human later .

Nobody wants to feel suppressed , but at the same time, people need guidance. The great balancing act of freedoms and restrictions is the human condition.
The Vedas bring the correct balance and appropriate applications to the various prescribed governance and compliance recommendations that are  linked scientifically to the correct psychological reckonings  according to a particular type of member in  society . Although all men are equal because they all possess consciousness and have equal rights to live , still persons are not equal, that’s self evident.
The Vedic social systems are always based on social and spiritual mobility. Everyone must have inspirational  teachers along with correct  psychological guidance and as well , help and encouragement.
It’s up to those who can offer help to others and benefit others to do so , but not whimsically or in speculative sentimental ways , thus, traditions and cultures should be preserved .
Ultimately, because the Vedic societies are founded on the real sciences of body mind and consciousness , naturally, the in’s and out’s  of the variable specifications of those  sciences were taught , dualism is the Vedic way . There are  facilities and lifestyles for everyone, so at set pace, everyone can  learn essential truths . Society as well as  varieties of countries were naturally made up of all varieties of persons . So, although there was no suppression of anyone , there were  rather regulatory facilities  available and accepted. But those who wanted to live overly sensual lives, very much like sophisticated animals, had their place, but not in leading or imposing  influences society that were overly sensual and binding .

So all kinds of things for all kinds of people but not the same things for all the people, that’s quite natural.
As the Russian leader Putin said, we have nothing against those that are Gay , what people do in their private lives is one thing, but he said …but don’t teach this in junior schools. ..

..I think this is the correct balance.
In their own time, children can make choices on all kinds of things, but only after hearing from the wise . Children can make choices after hearing from the wise , those who understand consciousness and its entanglements and its states of liberation.

Vedic life means analysing the problems mankind faces along with their origins and bringing solutions to them for everyone in a most satisfying way

Materialism means creating problems and in trying to solve the problems created , creating ever new problems with the supposed solutions

We shall elaborate on these two statements,  explaining why this is so and why the material energies work in ways beyond our immediate control.

Krishna consciousness is a science and should be taken as such , such perfectly executed scientific activity leads to knowledge,  renunciation and blissful life.

The Vedas examine how two particles of consciousness relate to each other both in a conditioned state and varieties of liberated states .
It also examines the origins of consciousness and how might an origin of the conscious state be  able to simultaneously communicate with the unlimited particles of consciousness that emanate from it .
Thus the sciences of self realisation and consciousness are not religious sentiments rather  they are very deep and scientifically based contemplations  given in the Vedas with systematic processes for everyone in different ways . So it’s a scientific quest for truth , and it’s based on an objective science, unlike today’s subjectively driven sciences , particularly when it comes to the big questions that it just can’t answer. .

Advice for the atheists who generally are bamboozled by school textbooks drawings like  things crawling out of ponds or pictures of apes turning into men , or the famous Haekels embryo fraudulent drawings indicating all embryos look the same in all species . Another favourite is the tree of life , microbial forms from a pond turning into Einstein. Although because of lack of evidence, namely transitions,  Steven Gould came up with his punctuated equilibrium hypothesis.

I provided proof  and evidence of engineering, codes, and information exchanges. Same engineer different engineering.
Whenever you see such fine engineering,  codes information, perfect math , etc etc  ,you know someone is behind it , a consciousness.
When you see smoke, you know there is fire or was fire .
Divinity knows you want your independence and freedom from him ..
So his energies cover you and convince you of an independence , this is
Supreme engineering on a scale beyond comprehension,  your consciouseness is connected to matter , you have become totally convinced you are matter , but Divinity hints , through various systems of religion and philosophy of science  how you can get out of these entanglements
Via the mind and intelligence.
The mind should not be drawn towards excessive sense gratification rather they should be strictly regulated , the intelligence should then be engaged in philosophical research , but also and most importantly you should seek the favour of the person who covers you with these material energies…the cause of all causes that is clearly defined scientifically within the Vedas .If you carry out these activities, automatically you’ll begin to know Divinity and understand His energies and ultimately enter into a relationship.
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami explains all in his explanation of Bhagavad Gita as it is ..

From the Vedic perspective the scientific community are forever trying to work out the ever-changing ever transforming and ever mutable Bahiranga sakti of Visnu , we could safely say as Isaac Newton said ” I feel like a child playing on the seashore with some bright coloured shells and a few pebbles , while the whole unlimited ocean of truth strtches out untouched and unruffled before my fingers “
An honest man sees the great and complete universal order before him , as Sir Fred Hoyle did the physicist.
The Bahiranga Sakti that Sir Isaac Newton speaks of is but one of the unlimited potencies of Divinity or Visnu or Krishna, the others are described as Antaranga Sakti which is far more extensive , and then the Tatasta Sakti the unlimited fragmental drops of consciousness who are situated within the other two Saktis.
The great Vedic Scholar Srila Jiva Goswami has written a series of books called the Sandarbhas .
Within these litratures, an overview of the sciences of energies and consciousness are brought to the forefront.
The average atheistic persons have no idea of the sciences contained within them , the British Raja were truely astonished.

When free will is  granted, it comes with many possibilities.

In our own lives, our intelligence is seen to adapt  to various circumstances and is  responsive to the many possibilities that could occur in our day , every single creature has this ability in one way or another . One could ask the Darwinians,  just how did the  intelligence evolve , in fact what makes intelligence , in that regard, they appear clueless .

We can scale up expedentually to the unlimited and ever expanding macro universal order , and as Sir Fred Hoyle notes , there appears to be a clear indication of  universal intelligence. The Vedas indicates  such an intelligent arrangement ,  and it defines these as the many different Saktis of God , who is a most intelligent engineer ,  a supreme engineer of both matter , mind , and intelligence ,

These are the  displays of His Saktis,  or multifarious energies .  The energies and the energetic source . Everything has a cause, after all. This was famously noted by Richard Feynman when he discussed why Granny slipped on the ice and why she was taken to hospital. ( see you tube )

The Vedas clearly indicates why and how God has simultaneously and inconceivably become one and different , expanding Himself  through his personal forms and energies . They are all energies, both  described as internal and external , and  one with  but different from Him . His internal energies,  are the individual beings , currently wrapped up and  absorbed in matter . Naturally, He has left His traits of free will within all of His unlimited parts and parcels. One could say like father like son .

Being supremely intelligent ,God is  naturally responding to the many possibilities that come along with free will .  Take the example of governments all over the world , who are  creating facilities for enjoying and living  peacefully , but also alongside much needed   systems of justice and prison houses .  Along with free will come a degree of governance , compliance, and management of risks .  When free will becomes harmful to itself and others , steps are naturally taken within governmental systems and likewise in the universal machine of Divinity.

In the Vedas this governance,  compliance and risk assessments and management are all described very nicely in logical and rational ways , that are easy to understand.

So the need for the material worlds are a direct result of free will, and the many possibilities that occur and that cause the universal affairs to automate will  facilitate perfect tailor-made arrangements  are  deliberately legislated.   It’s so perfect that, along with free will and determinism , comes more free will and determinism ,  It’s  set in motion according to a long distant  past  and the  present activity.  This  will determine the next episode of our exhibition of the many possibilities of our free will.

Divinity invites us at any time to join His family, and break the cyclic cycle of birth and death , where the perfection of free will is exhibited based on nothing more than unmotivated pure love , increasing  in beauty  , described in the Vedas as the sixty four excellences of artistic emotional rasa they are forever on exhibition , unbounding perfections  in a  super subjective higher spiritual planes

Having good karma , good intelligence, wealthy family , beautiful features and a degree of wisdom of consciousness can be highly beneficial, but such opportunities should not be wasted or squandered in self centred activities that brings degradation and future darkness.
Like a man who wins 5 million pounds on the lottery and spends his money on excessive drinking , drug taking, and prostitution.
The Vedas indicate the ups and downs and the results of the psychological movements of particular actions , defined as those in goodness , passion, or ignorance, and where that takes one . If you have a good thing keep it pure , if you don’t have something good for one reason or another, learn to aquire it , there are no restrictions , thus social and spiritual mobility is at the heart of Vedic culture, but keep everything on the up and up .

The Vedic dictator has eighteen puranas to reference and his Brahminical council which includes Vipras , scholars in particular fields.

His dictatorship is designed to protect the citizens and is based on the pure and objective knowlege of mind , matter and consciousness , such knowledge insulate people from those persons of ignorance , who are attached to speculation and advocate a life of immediate sense enjoyment , the life of the Darwinian sophisticated animal. The Vedic dictators bring sciences of all kinds , they apply them objectively, so the true nature of freedom of consciousness is balanced along with the needs of education and progression for everyone.
Social and spiritual mobility is at the heart of Vedic Culures as well as shared prosperity with the help of honest businessmen who are under the supervision of a greater council .

The Vedas says .
The Zionist make the mistake of infiltrating religious teachings and corrupting them for political purposes that serve nobody well , not even themselves.
And the .
Theocracy of Iran , or other like them ,  make the mistake of infiltrating practical and balanced administration after being frustrated by currupt governance.

The Vedas, with its governance and compliance systems along with  administrations  that are always  advised  by theological scholars, is the balance .. other independent members of the intelligentsia,  who were well versed in practical matters of every kind were included , the business community members played little part , because its not the nature of a business man to consider things from all angles , only the angle of profit.

Profit and prosperity are important, and these matters were carefully managed in governmental terms .

The West has been way off track and has let the businessman do as he likes , including becoming presidents .
The West  has rejected good thoughtful  administrations  and wise  theological scholars who know the sciences of consciousness and are sold out to the ruthless money makers who are clueless and totally unbalanced.

The material world are the energies of Divinity , the Antaranga Sakti is the internal spiritual energies , the bahiranga sakti is the external energies and the tatasta sakti are the particles of the Antaranga’s source who is Divinity Himself .
Within the Bahiranga saki there are three influences that cause 1, knowledge in goodness, 2, unending passion to enjoy at any cost ,3, influence of darkness , ignorance and bewildering states of mind .
The Vedic cultures with their systems of governance knew very well of the sciences of psychological movements, and were well studied in the bahiranga saktis , thus they knew all types of persons and made sure persons who were influenced by jnana or knowledge were ultimately placed in position as the best advisors to those who managed administrations .
Knowledge of body mind and consciousness development sums up what the Jnana Sakti means .
In todays world, fools vote in fools who are passionate and heavily influenced by ignorance , they have no qualities to lead , and they always try to silence the intelligentsia.

In Vedic Culures, it’s clearly understood that there’s absolute truth and also relative truths.
There is also an educated and uneducated opinion.
But truth and opinion can only be properly applied by the intelligentsia who can come to informed opinions , i.e. those who can truely understand specific circumstances with which to apply relative truths , based on application of Sastra , and the science’s of the mind , of matter and its workings , and consciousness , its conditioned and liberated states , as well as the origins and causes of all causes .
Thus, in the Vedas, all discord is harmonized in the absolute truth ..
