The British Empire were so devious that they set up a Sanskrit college in Hertfordshire in order to try to master the complexities of the language, which they failed to do , and then they reintroduced misinterpreted scripts to try to usurp the great Vedic culture which was full of wealth ,and knowledge of dualism . The tainted misinterpreted teachings of Christianity and scientific materialism were what the British failed to institute in India .The British were so in awe of India that they thought this intelligent culture must have come from the white man. So they brought in the idea that in the past the superior white man had bred with the ” Indian natives ..
The British were thrown out .
But time moves in different ways empires come and go. The USA is now finding the unipolar moment has passed with the USA dominate ,
Certainly, the British brought things that were destined , like the modern world .
But now the ancient cultures are using modern technologies and reestablishing ancient cultural values, turning the tables on them . This is all the arrangement of Divinity.

In Gaudiya Vaisnavism, one’s service to the pure devotee is essential and comes in many forms, but ones own personal bhajan and understandings of Sri Guru along with the previous acaryas through their writings and teachings is essential , that in one sense is the greatest service . From there, many things either in this life or the next spring forth .
The clue of the purposes of ISKCON can be found in photographs of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja welcoming members of the British Raj to his Gaudia Math in the 1930s , making many special provisions for them , and also in the same manner welcoming many Western scholars and intellectuals.
The attempts for Srila Bhaktivinod Thakurs’ vision of Devi Varna Ashram had begun . Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj disciple Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami , having spent a life of study and seven years living in retirement in Vrndavana preparing for his mission took his Guru Maharajas’ messages all over the world , they are still reverberating and expanding . Anyone can connect whatever ones condition or status in life and fulfil life’s ultimate purposes.Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja has brought the complete , more complete, and most complete messages of Godhead..
When Krishna appeared 5000 years ago he exhibited His full personality , which is the most complete in spontaneous love within Vraja , and exhibited fully only in the company of Srimati Radharani and Her friends.
Krishna exhibited his desire to establish religious principles in his pastimes in Mathura ,Dwarka and in Kurukshetra.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja brings full knowledge of the complete , more complete and most complete by his practical preaching activities of challenging materialism in very strong ways, as well as deviations from legitimate spiritual practices, no speculations or “add ons ” were tolerated .
But he also, on a number of occasions, revealed indirectly his most intimate spiritual position , that of Radha Dasyam , in Manjari bhava.
Like Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj had concerns for the world and as well he had ultimate personal deeply spiritual concerns for his services with the eternal realms of Vrndavana , executed with confidentiality in Srimati Radharani’s services , but in another form .

Creating a Vedic world within the world of Kali
Creating a family with spiritual values ..
His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has made an attempt to use the educational systems of the Vedas and create a world free from the ignorance of scientific materialism and all that brings . In his forming ISKCON, the Vedas has been brought to light to some extent . The Vedic ideal is that everyone can live in a harmonized atmosphere where differences are respected and facilities that everyone needs , including the creatures of the earth ,can be easily obtained . Unity in diversity as well as all discord being harmonized in the absolute is the Vedic gift . This vision is based on the Srimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita, as well as the eighteen puranas that bring a natural and systematic education through its various cultures , The psychological position of the ethereal subtle energies are taken into account within the eighteen Puranas. Thus, men of goodness , passion, and ignorance are offered facilities and systematic progressive lives . This also naturally allows for all the specific needs of a ” multicultural ” society , where differences can be lived out in harmony.
Some people may openly criticize ISKCON, or Gaudia Vaisnava societies , and immature thinkers probably dont understand the significance of their work and their long-term vision. When initially creating structures naturally also problems can be created that’s to be expected especially in young institutions. Every family has to face problems and learn to deal with them and learn from them. Living in the material world with spiritual ideals will naturally create puzzles. Critical Vaisnava thinking but based on Gaudia Vaisnavism, management, and governance, along with compliance, are essential in any family unit. Obviously, so in a huge ISKCON family . Within every decent family, frank discussions are sometimes needed to advance understandings and bring practical improvements .
We can naturally understand that in creating the great worldwide family of ISKCON for instance, in such unprecedented ways , and with such unprecedented preaching that is carried out all over the world , the ongoing management of such a ginormous family will remain with us . Good governance means to always address issues in the best possible ways . Every large organisation is constantly having to do so . Social problems are certainly not unique to ISKCON or any Gaudia Vaisnava group . However, bringing the greatest benefits of the Vedas , the knowledge of Krishna consciousness to the world is a matter of urgency .
Traditional ashrams or religious cultures , generally have women and men within their own settings .The Nuns and Monks live separately all over the world . Family life was absent, and interactions with society were limited.
In creating ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had the vision that the whole world should be given the opportunity to practice Krishna consciousness together, every varna and every ashram should be included . In so doing , Prabhupada’s ISKCON society has successfully brought Krishna consciousness opportunities to one and all in very practical ways.
If Prabhupada had created traditional Ashram systems , many aspects of society would not have been included in the cultivation of Krishna consciousness . Currently , it’s witnessed that ISKCON is very successful and is fast permeating everywhere in the world and within different social groups. Its influences are growing in all of the varnas and ashrams.
Earlier days in ISKCON were very blissful and revolutionary but particularly difficult in many respects . Young inexperienced leaders had a lot of responsibilities , and many couldn’t manage well. Consequences of failure can be problematic, but we can not assume the utopian dream that all is rosey as soon as someone walks into an ashram , persons have come to learn , and unlearn the bad habits of material life . Risks are there in any organisation, and every organisation is now managing them a lot better , as do all religious institutions .
Certainly, Prabhupada, through his preaching method, has opened up the whole world , every single aspect of society can now access a Krishna consciousness experience, and the success of his mission is astounding.

Although it’s claimed by scientists that brain waves are too weak to carry and be picked up by a receiver, they also say even the most weakest electromagnetic waves can be detected with the correct equipment. The waves of radio and TV Internet are being carried with coded information and can pass through matter. Fibre optics carry information faster but require the physical fibre , light is blocked by matter , and even the sun can be partially blocked by water vapour, i.e., the cloud .That’s why optics are used , no blocking , rather, continued light signals.
It is a given that there is chemistry between some people, but not in extreme terms for everyone, although everyone is mentally aware of another’s mental energies. They do not interface too much by the arrangement of Divinity , there would be mental chaos. However, the karmic synchronicities of future events are already forming along with the next body , and the electromagnetic waves of mental activities are logged and received by Divinities agents , and will connect with the suitable electromagnetic atoms that will form around the consciousness bringing the next body and term of life .
Thus the Vedas indicates technology far, far beyond the comprehension of mankind, although some understanding is becoming clear .
The Nobel prize winner Marie Curie who discovered X rays was a member of a circle who studied brain waves .
- Attendance at Séances: Historical sources indicate that both Marie and her husband Pierre Curie were interested in the occult and attended séances, particularly those involving the famous medium Eusapia Palladino.
- Scientific Approach: While interested in these phenomena, her approach, like that of many contemporary scientists, was rooted in a desire to apply scientific methods to investigate seemingly unexplained events like thought-transference or spiritualism, as such topics were widely debated within the scientific community at the time.
- Think and act ” Vedically “
Veda means knowledge .
Act according to Dualism, you have a body but are not the body .
What was your previous situation?what is your future destination? what determinism is there at play within the responsive universe.? It is a self-evident truth that your consciousness is passing through bodies , children , youth , adults, old people , same person different bodies ..
Acting in knowledge is the Vedic way . Acting according to the speculative hypothesis of scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis that encourages a life that can be said to be no more than sophisticated animalism . Dying in such ignorance has been taught extensively within educational systems , in the name so-called freedoms of liberalised society , that suits the world of the globalists who all adore consumerists .Live today at any cost , even the deaths of others
That is an artificial imposition on ones truely inherant nature.

The Western economies are based on borrowing and printed money , and also of promises of what a country might deliver in the future . This fuels the gambling casino like stock , currency, and commodity markets that the miniscule percentage of the world benefits from whilst everyone else struggles and is forced to work like asses .To do so much pillaging and plans of encroachment on others territories causing death and destruction takes place..The USA leads the ways by 37 trillion dollar debts and with approximately 750 military bases in 80 countries throughout the world.
That’s not the Vedic way of finance, diplomacy , trading, or respectful relationships with a multicultured world ..More on this soon .

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥTranslation
In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.
Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.32
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s process of mass distribution of trancendental Krishna consciousness enacted through primarily Lord Nityananda’s mercy brings about a trancendental and transformed intelligence that will enable the honest to see things as they are , both spiritually and materially , and to learn how to place faith in the real intelligensia who see the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings. Such persons are well wishers of everyone and are full of compassion, they genuinely feel the suffering that others are suffering.
Knowledge means to know fully the true potential of everyone and be fully aware of the many forms of ignorance that have clouded truth . Both must be understood side by side .
To realise truth and to indentify ignorance, one needs the help of the absolute truth . From the absolute truth, both knowledge and the conditions that bring about the absence of knowledge originate . Both conditions are fully under the control of the absolute truth.
Previously, Lord Krishna established religious principles throughout the world by destroying those that falsely claimed to represent them , He did so literally and on a battlefield.
But times change, and in todays world, ignorance is being destroyed in different ways . The trancendental process of the Sankirtana movements that brings the chanting of the Trancendental sound , its this that bestows trancendental buddhi yoga , intelligence to see things in proper perspective . The chanting is carried out with a sincerity of purpose under the direction of the param para acaryas. In so doing, one revives position as a servant of Divinity . Divinity is served, of course, in numerous ways , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given full details of this great trancendental mystery of Chanting and its results to the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who have written extensively of the entire process . It includes the reestablishing of the Vedic principles and, most importantly, it reveals the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna and His eternal consort the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani along with all Her friends . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu revealed this very same Supreme expression of Love that is displayed by the residents of Vrndavana . It is the highest expression of pure, unadulterated , and unalloyed love of God, and Mahaprabhu gave everyone the process of how to taste it very easily.

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates we have two lives, or bodies , our receding material consciousness and present body that is tainted with lust ,anger , greed , envy, and illusion and our spiritual personalities and a body that is developing side by side . The spiritual sciences of how they develop and decline are given by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana . A spiritual life is based on the development of a spiritually and mentally conceived spiritual body that is achieved through the process of Sadhana and Ragganuga Bhakti . Our efforts are important and gradually the process of different yoga practices , such as karma, jnana , niskarma karma , and trancendental astanga, and ultimately pure Bhakti Yoga transforms one’s consciousness , and the next body is forming side by side of the existing one .
This perfection , however, is achieved only by the krpa ( mercy ) and blessings of our acayas , the pure devotees, and ultimately the holy name, which is the means and end of spiritual life .
Automatically, our blissful kind nature comes forth more and more, and we free ourselves from the mundane materalistic concepts and always find ourselves absorbed in relishing and remembeing Krishna lila in one form or another.. Mahāprabhu associates demonstrated that, and Mahāprabhu practically teaches it .
So two bodies , one must supercede the other in time . In so doing , sometimes the devotees can be initially cold as they defend themselves from mayas’ influences, but they warm up bit by bit until fully on fire in their truely blissful lives .then all their characteristics become sublime .

A real free market is most definitely the Vedic way
European and UK leaders have failed to house their own citizens, amongst other failures. They deliberately engineer fixed housing markets controlled by banks , with the help of political friends . Bankers become politicians, and politicians become bankers, so it is said wryly. High House prices mean more profits for banks and financial companies and less money to circulate in other parts of the economy. The government’s are controlled by business conglomorates and financial institutions, who have no interest in housing people at affordable rates , quite the opposite, they engineer shortages of housing , by failures to build social housing and by restricted supply. Weak governments allow them to . The conglomorates lobby governments and donate to political parties.
The Vedic systems are socialist based, the middle way , with allowance for a legitimate free trade . Free trade is a word banded about in Western countries , but in reality, we have cooperative monopolies and a currupt housing market as well as many other types of businesses , groceries, for example. There are thousands of children living in temporary accommodation and thousands of homeless persons . Housing for families is often blocks of flats with no garden . What good is that for children? Thus , democracies are failing , educated democracies are needed , where the uncaring politicians are discarded, and the intelligentsia guide political persons who care , and bankers are left out the picture.

Searching searching
In spiritual life, searching for God never stops .
There are the beginnings of searching and intermediate searching and advanced searching.
In the spiritual realms , still , the searching continues.
These searching for God begin at rudimentary levels at first in philosophically orientated ways but inexplicable and in the topmost spiritual realms end trancendentally and appear externally like a lover desperately searching for a lost lover . Everything of trancendance from its beginning to its highest pinnacle has been described by Srila Rupa Goswami in his many many writings“He /she,” who is eternally searching for krishna , in intimate services carried out on behalf of Srimati Radharani, the Supreme Goddess of Fortune , within Goloka Vrndavana are the greatest mystery of Gaudia Vaisnavism , the Pranaya of Manjari bhava was also relished by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and is described by Krishna das Kaviraja in his Caitanya Caratamrita.

Silencing the intelligentsia means mob rule .
A life is a life , any life , human or in Vedic circles , any creatures life , life is sacred and taking life has huge repercussions for individuals and nations.
The person of knowledge sees unnecessary killings as the victim’s of circumstances caused by envy hate and ignorance driven by an ever increasing silencing and further suppressions of the influences of the intelligensia . Democracies have been hijacked by unthinking and unintelligent global conglomerates who have the political classes and practically all of the media in their pockets , the unthinking follow the unthinking like lemmings of a cliff .The Vedas clearly defines the qualities of the intelligensia who bring wisdom , compassion, and clear thinking to any administrative body . Non encroachment and respect for the lives and rights of everything and everyone that lives and a countries resources and facilities respected rather than exploited or stolen . Puppet regimes are not true governments , those who sell their countries for self-interest are not leaders .
The self-evident truth of an equality of every living being is always within the heart of the self effulgent intelligentsia . Those who live in darkness and ignorance with a fire fly intellect try to convince others who are also in darkness that they have seen the light . The light of truth can never be covered by the darkness of those who ” democraticaly ” bring the clouds of mob rule that attempts to temporarily cover light with political or zionistic perversions .
The wise man of the Vedas says this ..
A human being who considers the land of his birth worshipable, and who goes to a place of pilgrimage simply to bath rather than to meet men of transcendental knowledge there, is to be considered like a cow or an ass .
Sophisticated animals are posing as great leaders, and smaller, sophisticated animals are running after the biggest animal. The biggest animals impose mob rule and attempts to silence the good .
Srimad Bhagavatam.
