  • Truth is self effulgent to the truthful

    Mar 8th, 2026

    A declining truth ..

    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 .The universal governance unbeknown to 99.9 % of the population awards 8,400,000 different opportunities , places where the comfort of untruthfulness is uncomfortably lived out . The responsive universe follows the individuals consciousness and actions . The 8,400,000 different species of life reflect the varying degrees of the consciousness entanglements  where the relative degrees of untruths can be lived out . Truth has declined so much in current times that any man speaking truth is ridiculed or in todays world silenced , some call it cancel culture . Persons who are speaking lies are glorified as truthful and visionary or as great leaders . The majority of persons are confused because they have accepted authorities who are not authoritative . Even in scientific fields, subjective speculations are presented as fact based sciences. In religious fields unthinkable , unknowdgeable hypocritical leaders pose themselves as authorites , but they do not follow their authorities,  or they change and twist their words  Current algorithmic processes and Ai assisted technologies assist the  dishonest greatly, and the media is not a source of truth or real news but rather a source of opinion,  as is the Internet.
    The most cooked of persons , who together snatch the worlds recourses , pay very  good money to anyone who will agree  repeat their lies , one becomes the servant of the “devil.” With algorithms deliberately set to favour untruths, the rascals and demoniac see to it that their messaging is the most heard narrative and that everything works  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 own  lordship over matter and false speculative argumentations against absolute truth should be reversed . Throughout the history of this universal creation the Vedas tell of how Krishna , Divinity , who has numerous names and appears within every culture  , says  ” Again and again I come to this material plane to establish truth. I directly appear or I send my representative, ” Objective truth is self effulgent to the truthful as are the representatives of truth . A deceitful heart attracts the deceitful, and a truthful, honest heart attracts truth , and persons who represent it , those who carry truth represent a succession of truth . Adoption of humility within the heart should be accepted . it’s the first qualifying attribute of wisdom , along with a general respect for all beings , accompanied by  compassionate thoughts towards everything that lives .These signs are systematic of truth and an indication of knowledge. With truth comes a natural detachment and peace within the heart . It’s only in that state that the  beginnings of a relationship with Divinity will be underway .

  • Let’s go ..the universal travel agency

    Mar 7th, 2026

    One of the features of quantum physics is called ” instant communication.”
    The Vedas has many parallels to these mathematically approved approaches to the reality of both matter , in the classical sense as well as an atomic realm , and the laws they might be locally subjected to , as well as the  differently situated states   within the existences of multidimensional planes . Within this universe, as well as millions of others, time and laws of nature differ, says the Vedas , and many theoretical physicists will not disagree of this being true . Methods of transfer from one dimention to another are also discussed by string theorists , quantum physicists, and theoretical physicists and , of course, within the Vedas. The ethereal planes and the subtle existences as well as much finer Spiritual energies can instantly transform , as Albert Einstein thought , he said like …..” Spooky action at a distance “….
    Mind is no doubt the fastest method of transport , one can immediately think oneself somewhere . The material mind is working at one speed , and a spiritual mind is able to traverse  even greater distances . Another aspect of instant communications comes in focus when understanding the oneness and difference of Divinity . In countless millions of the material universes , and they are expanded from one conscious source,  naturally this universal form of Divinity knows  exactly what one part of His  universal body is doing and is fully conscious of it  , even if trillions of miles apart . After all , you know when you have a feeling of hunger instantly or  an itchy foot .
    The third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam delves into some of these universal matters in detail.
    Suffice to say , in regards to instant travel,  if you think about your favourite holiday destination and you are extremely familiar with its makeup and atmosphere, you have, in one sense, immediately arrived in your minds eye .
    The yogic paths are methods, when perfected , of an easy transportation method,  thus an  easy journey to other places or planets ….mystic power literally means controlled travel in your dream like subtle body .

    In the future, a yogic travel agent may become available, and the universal affairs and beyond  could be accessed for the correct yogic price .

  • Help or hindered, asset or liability.

    Mar 7th, 2026

    The Vedas analysis of our current condition within matter is a useful resource.

    What have we got , what should we do with it .

    We have a body with senses , mind ,and intelligence, atoms , elements, and compounds surround us , but we are also feeling and willing utalising the mind and intelligence which is made up of ethereal energies,  these energies,  especially intelligence is situated closest to the consciousness itself which is alien to all the coverings .

    The working senses and the  knowledge acquiring senses are engaged in various substances, causing the mind and intelligence to function and engage in numerous ways , that are centred on , in the material world , acquiring happiness and avoiding distress. These calculations are causing all the parts of our body, including the mind and senses, to engage themselves. Every single species of life is doing the same thing , some relatively successfully some relatively unsuccessfully .Another element that the Vedas introduces is karmic synchronicities,  how is it that individuals find themselves in particular circumstances. The Vedas indicates that the human form of life is either a great asset or a huge  liability. Its a great asset when used correctly to further one’s interests and its a great liability when it’s used incorrectly then good fortune can be lost and a decline in assets begins , the human form can be a slippery slope towards the animal kingdoms,  even when in a human form , the subtle consciousness begins to calculate like an animals.

    All in all, it behoves one to understand how good fortune is transformed into the greatest of fortune . Knowledge is essential for the power and insights that reveal and separate all kinds of matter , including ethereal substances from the very essence of life , the consciousness , the symptoms of the soul are consciousness.

    The Vedas demonstrate the therapeutic method for tranformations of matter into spirit , both these energies can interlink in  positive ways causing one to act like the other .

    When you put cold iron in fire after a while it acts like fire , someone may say , no its iron , we say touch it , it burns like fire .The spiritual person has all his assets connected to spiritual energies by the various yogic processes , each yogic process suits a particular person at a particular time , karma yoga,  jnana yoga,  niskarma karma yoga , and levels of Bhakti yoga brings the living beings into direct contact with God , the Supreme Personality of Godhead the origins of all the incarnations of various forms of God and the origins of all the Demigods is Krishna.

    In Bhagavad Gita as it is Lord Krishna explains all .  Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains in detail what spiritual and material life is and how to link them together. Yoga means to link with God .

    Something ever new..

    By reference to the Vedic literature, we can get some insight into soul to soul seeing , soul to soul hearing ,soul to soul tasting ,soul to soul smelling, soul to souls thinking, and feeling .
    These are described in different places , for instance, when Druva Maharaja saw Krishna in meditation and then when Krishna appeared before Him , how his trancendental spiritual senses reacted with Krishna’s trancendental spiritual body . In the Caitanya Caratamrita Srimati Radharani’s trancendental senses are competing each like wild horses pulling and competing to relish Krishna’s beauty .
    Our material senses act within matter in conditioned ways , artificial ways , for instance when we see , we are picking up light waves , that hit our retina then electrically charged signal is carried to our brains, and thus the artificial image of juggling atoms appear as forms , sound is a similar experience .
    Soul to soul is an entirely different experiences, like a green parrot flying into a green tree , in love and attraction its called Pranaya, a oneness of close experience , the material world brings a flickering of this experience , but the soul to soul spiritual plane is what we hanker for ..

  • Save yourself

    Mar 6th, 2026

    The material world has been critiqued in the Vedas, its a surreal world , as such , its said ” night time dream , day time dream” Its just that the day time dream lasts longer , but like a dream , we can practically hardly remember most of our lives , we are dead to it . The Bhagavatam says the body , mind , and  senses  propels the livings beings in acts of  lust , anger , greed, and envy and madness , a madman does not know his true postion in life and acts with insane calculations. As such, many  conflicts lead to ruthless aggressions against families,  communities , and other countries or cultures. Humans act like animals , with no rational feelings if  persons are not directed by a real human with real human qualities , a person who has control over their senses and mind and who are philosophically astute and who understand objective sciences . Ultimately, this material world displays very little Godliness most of the time , but there are always worthy persons, and we must find them and be guided by them . Most displays of Godliness or religions are also tinged with personal  attachments , and many crooked politicians use religion in perverted ways , ways that currupt its real purposes. God becomes their order supplier, and fools follow fools . Pure exhibitions of spirituality in reality are without any expectations for anything other that pure love towards Divinity and all his parts and parcels.
    Currently, our leaders are driving humanity and pushing them into further and further conflicts . They are totally clueless in regard  to the true worth of  all humanity and its  intended purposes .
    Anyhow, history shows us that the material world has a very, very  long  history of all types of aggressive militant activities.
    Srila Ragganatha das Goswami in his Manah Siksa advice is that the spiritual person renounce being exclusively concerned with these political or geopolitical types of concerns , but rather concentrate  ones time in understanding and developing our spiritual form and relationship with Divinity along with His various associates and family.  By practising serious meditation and deep remembrances , the fullness of absolute beauty and the highest of spiritual culture along within the supreme artistry of ever new loving relationships will be experienced
    This is also the underlying advice of all of our  Vedic Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas . AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada would say , “First, save yourself..
    But also try giving some time to assisting others benefit from the Vedas in some way . We can learn to become , on one level , oblivious to the activities of the foolishness of the ungodly and their uneducated leaders , but on another level, we must point out  the foolishness for everyone’s benefit.

  • Lord Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita

    Mar 6th, 2026

    Chapter one sets the scene and some of the causes of the battle of Kurukshetra. Chapter two brings a summary of all the topics .

    Things like prescribed duties and trancendental duties , their interactions and their complementary nature, as well as the therapeutic benefits

    The peripheral and the cor purposes of Divine life are summarised in this second chapter.

    In Bhagavad Gita, in Chapter three and four, the reasons for Lord Krishna’s appearance as well as the progressive nature of all types of duties and sacrifices are discussed. These culminate , when performed correctly  under the instructions of the Vedas and saintly persons , to Knowledge of Krishna . Krishna is unlimited, and the different expansions of His unlimited personality are discussed in the fourth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita personally by Krishna to Arjuna. ..

    The fifth chapter explains that persons acquiring knowledge through an intellectual endeavour to understand God or those that act purely within their duties in honest and respect ways towards mankind and all creatures are both on the same path .This is  because the sincerity of purpose to act religiously or piously or to seek God by inner searching are both pleasing to God . When pure and exclusive devotion is added to any of these proccess, Divinity begins to be understood much more deeply.
    Thus, jnana yoga or karma yoga are one and the same when correctly initiated under the guidance of the Vedas and saints .

    The sixth chapter describes the path of mystic yoga, but Krishna has also summarised the general qualities of all the yoga paths . Those that bring one to the point of seeing the true equality of all beings and further seeing clearly that everything and every person are situated within the universal form of God are superior. As the yogi advances further , Krishna explains in the 6th chapter that one can also understand God  within his own heart and take inspiration from Him directly.
    Ultimately , the successful yogi can enter the spiritual planets and personally associate with Krishna in one of the many abodes therein , and accordingly , different relationships are experienced as each individual might desire .
    Importantly, Krishna says any endeavour for yoga and communication with God is never lost , even if not completed or perfected . Next life, it automatically begins again ..

    In chapter seven, Lord Krishna brings a scientific explanation in a summary form of this material world , both the metaphysical and physical world is touched upon . Later in the Bhagavad, Gita Krishna will elaborate much further on all these maters as well as cosmological affairs.
    Krishna, in chapter seven, also details the complexities of varieties of psychological conditioning of the living beings and the effects these material conditions have on a consciousness, including the individual choices that are made . It should be clear free will , determinism, and the responsive universe is at the heart of the Bhagavad Gita. In chapter eight, the all pervasiveness of Divinity , i.e., how He is situated both within and outside the universe, are discused . Further and more detailed explanations of destinations of different persons who practice mystic yoga are here . Easy journeys to other planets according to the situation of the cosmological position of particular stars at death  determine destinations . The all-around responsive universe means Krishna and His multifarious energies are in full control ..

    In Bhagavad Gita Chapter nine, extensive knowledge of Krishna’s Godhood is given , in one sense, God is everything . Explanations of how He is nearby but far away , He is inside but outside, He is everywhere, but nowhere, for instance, are delineated .  Further discusion is also given about how He helps those that want to know Him , many arrangements are detailed of how that takes place .
    Some people , it is mentioned in this chapter want other opulences in life and do not want a specific relationship at a  present yime with Krishna , so details of other destinations for those who worship ancestors of demigods are delineated. .

    Further details of the rest of the Bhagavad Gita shortly.

  • Surrender…..servant of the senses , the fickle mind or declining intellect,  or servant of God .

    Mar 6th, 2026

    Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has outlined these six principles of surrender as a yard stick of devotion,  to check ourselves and to serve as a reminder to us all of of the process of approach to Divinity.  Its not a mere sentiment but something very practical and awash with devotion,  unalloyed devotion is the only entrance to Vrndavana.

    Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates that we currently have two bodies,  the old conditioned one is bring left behind a spiritual body is forming one should be superseding the other when spiritual practices are properly in place . Everything must be redirected towards Krishna, and the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have taken that path . They have left their association in the form of their teachings, and their litratures are windows to the spiritual kingdoms. The current devotees are all on this path, and each helps each other to tread the path and stay on the path .

    Here is Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur instructions..

    srila bhaktivinoda thakura 6 principles

    +2

    Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura outlined six principles of surrender, known as Sharanagati, to the Supreme Lord in his 1893 book of the same name. These core principles are: 1) Humility (Dainya), 2) Self-dedication (Atma-nivedana), 3) Faith in Krishna as protector (Goptṛtve-Varaṇa), 4) Embracing the Lord as sole maintainer, 5) Executing only favorable actions for devotion (Anukulyasya sankalpaḥ), and 6) Rejecting unfavorable actions (Pratikulyasya varjanam). InstagramInstagram +2

    • 1. Dainya (Humility): Cultivating a humble state of mind, recognizing oneself as a servant of the Lord.
    • 2. Atma-nivedana (Dedication of the Self): Surrendering one’s body, mind, and soul to Krishna.
    • 3. Goptṛtve-Varaṇa (Acceptance of the Lord as Protector): Having firm faith that Krishna will protect and shelter the devotee.
    • 4. Acceptance of the Lord as Maintainer: Depending entirely on the Lord for all necessities.
    • 5. Anukulyasya sankalpaḥ (Accepting the Favorable): Adopting activities, thoughts, and habits that promote spiritual growth and devotion.
    • 6. Pratikulyasya varjanam (Rejecting the Unfavorable): Giving up actions and associations that hinder devotional service. 

    These six principles are considered essential for building a deep, intimate, and secure relationship with God.

  • Spiritual/material

    Mar 5th, 2026

    We can understand from the Vedas that Divinity is the energetic source of what is categorized as the superior spiritual energies , marginal spiritual energies, and inferia spiritual energies. An example is given that electricity can be used to heat or cool . Likewise ,all categorized energies are spiritual , for Krishna or His pure devotees, everything is Gods energies and used purely do not limit the spiritual person . Indeed, Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita, ” One who sees me in everything and everything in me I am never lost to him he is never lost to me . There is a verse that says ” The moon is covered by the cloud but by the light of the moon the clouds can be seen ” Material energies can directly connect to the spiritual since they originate from the same source. The Vedas, along with its many mantras , names, and descriptions of Divinity along with complete wisdom of all energies , all stem from the supreme superior source . Divinity is reaching down, making connections, bringing the two together .We should be confident the Lord has multiple methods in place for communication and clear insights about Himself and the existence of everyone and everything. By way of examples,  great scientific thinkers , philosophically minded people,  artists and musicians will all speak about the curious powers of inspiration.

    Divinities energies work in very wonderful ways . Although the gross body has many limits , the mind , intellect, and especially consciousness are much more closely connected to the soul and our original pure uncovered consciousness.

    Thus, although the moon is covered by the cloud , but  by the light of the moon, the clouds are seen . Similarly although our consciousness is hazy, unpredictable, and fluctuating in so many ways , it’s by the original soul that all its fragility is detectable . Our consciousness is like original pure light travelling through coloured , broken, and somewhat strangely shaped class , giving us many distorted impressions.  The names of Divinity and the wisdom of the Vedas that Divinity allows us to understand put our broken and distorted impressions back in their original intended state . In that state every thing becomes clear and an understanding of Divinity is revealed. Soul on soul vision and experiences ,and not consciousness passing through atoms , elements and compounds within a distorted subtle ethereal world .

  • Irresistibly drawn toward .

    Mar 5th, 2026

    Incalculable trancendental love  of Vraja-prema.

    “That very personality who stole away my heart during my youth is now again my master. These are the same moonlit nights of the month of Caitra. The same fragrance of malati flowers is there, and the same sweet breezes are blowing from the kadamba  forest. I am also the same lover, yet still my mind is not happy here. I am eager to go back to that place on the bank of the Reva under the Vetasi tree. That is my desire.”

    The deep meaning of this verse, which appears to be the hankering between some ordinary boy and girl, was known only to Svarupa Damodara. By chance, one year, Rupa Gosvami was also present when Lord Caitanya recited it. After hearing the verse, Rupa Gosvami composed another verse, which described the meaning of the original verse. It was a verse spoken by Srimati Radharani to a gopi friend at Kuruksetra:

    “My dear friend, now I have met My very old and dear friend Krsna on this field of Kuruksetra. I am the same Radharani, and now We are meeting together. It is very pleasant, but still I would like to go to the bank of the Yamuna beneath the trees of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute playing the fifth note within that forest of Vrndavana.”

    Madhavendra Puri  composed a wonderfully trancendental verse …that also brought these verses together in a simple and deep expression by Srimati Radharani.
    Granted to him by Srimati Radharani , Madhavendra puri’s verse was chanted by Mahāprabhu in pure love ..It reveals the trancendental desperation contained within the heart of Srimati Radharani in Parakiya Rasa.

    This is Srimati Radharani’s plea to Krishna
     “O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathurā! When shall I see you again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?”

    “As the Kaustubha-maṇi is considered the most precious of valuable stones, this verse is similarly considered the best of poems dealing with the mellows of devotional service . This  verse was spoken by Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī Herself, and by Her wishes it was manifest in the words of Mādhavendra Purī . ” Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu tasted the full mellows of this poetry . Mādhavendra Purī recited this verse again and again at the end of his life . Thus, uttering this verse, he attained the ultimate goal of life . “O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathurā! When shall I see You again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?”  When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recited this verse, He immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

    Thus, the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu have been described by the Goswami’s of Vrndavana and Srila BR Sridhar Swami says that in time as devotional services mature one will be irresistibly drawn towards them .

  • Maha mantra .

    Mar 4th, 2026

    Srila Gour Govinda Swami was fond of referring to the Caitanya Caratamrita wherein its stated that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has infused the names with Vraja prema  pure love of God , ..and He  garlanded the whole world , in other words everyone can access and experience easily pure blissful love .
    Srila Jiva Goswami in the Tattva Sandarbha says Lord Krishna accepts names  given to Him by His devotees . He accepts  names because of the Bhakti or devotion  of His devotees. Mahāprabhu chanted many names of God , which He had accepted, when He appeared   He enthuses them all with prema Rasa of Vrndavana.
    So , although the names of God when chanted purely have always brought relationships  with God  ,when  Mahāprabhu came , He revealed the most perfect of all spiritual relationships , the most perfect of all perfects . This trancendental experience is exhibited by the residents of Vrndavana, and they are all  situated in pure spontaneous love free from any  awe and reverence. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu brought newer and newer meaning to what it means to love God . He revealed all the mysteries of pure love and how to understand simply by chanting the names of God purely. Chanting is the means and the end of spiritual perfection the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas say .The Pranaya of Manjari bhava , the servants of Srimati Radharani has been revealed, its they who understand the supreme abode of love , the heart of Srimati Radharani . Such intimacies are  revealed through the process of chanting the names , this is the essence of Mahāprabhu’s teachings . Through the nine fold processes of  devotion that are written by Srila Rupa Goswami , from the Srimad Bhagavatam and Pralada Maharaja’s teachings which begin with and end in chanting and meditations of Radha Krishna lila , everything is understood.
    Our acaryas give indications of the newly enthused and spiritually surchanged and old Maha  Mantra .  With Hare Krishna coming first , instead of Hare Rama first . The competition of the love between the Radha Krishna of Vrndavana is revealed , but in their most perfect parakiya Rasa .
    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu chanted Hare Krishna and also many other names of God .  Through the teachings of Mahaprabhu to Rupa Ragganatha and the Goswami’s of Vrndavana this Maha Mantra meditation has been revealed. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami made efforts to formalise and regulate , the methods of regulated chanting . Srila Ragganatha das set an example and chanted in scheduled ways , as did Haridas Thakur.
    Srila BR Sridhar Swami says the above …in regards to some historical information.


    Commenting on this enigma, Srila Sridhara Deva Gosvami Maharaja has stated as follows:

    “The real importance of the Name is not to be found merely in the arrangement of its syllables, but in the deep meaning within that divine sound. Some scholars argue that in the Kali-santarana Upanisad, Lord Brahma says that the Hare Krsna maha-mantra is properly pronounced only when the Name of Rama precedes the Name of Krsna:

    hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare
    hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare

    “In the Kali-santarana Upanisad, the Hare Krsna maha-mantra is given in that way. But to say that the Name of Rama must precede the Name of Krsna in the mantra is a superficial understanding.

    “It is said that because it comes from the Upanisads, the Hare Krsna mantra is a Vedic mantra, and therefore, because the ordinary people may not have any entrance into Vedic mantras, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu readjusted this mantra by reversing the order of the words. In that way, it is said that the concern that it is a Vedic mantra is thereby cancelled, and so Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave it to all persons without breaching the injunctions of the Vedas. Some devotees in Uttar Pradesh who have great affection for Sri Caitanyadeva like to give this opinion. But  Srila BR Sridhar Swami faith says  that the mentioning of ‘Hare Rama’ first is only superficial. It concerns the idea that since the Rama avatara appeared first and the Krsna avatara afterwards, the Name of Rama, ‘Hare Rama,’ should come first in the maha-mantra.’

    “A deeper reading will consider that when two similar things are connected together, the priority will be ordered not on the basis of historical precedent, but in consideration of the most highly developed conception. The Holy Name of Krsna is higher than the Holy Name of Rama. This is mentioned in the Puranas: three Names of Rama equal one Name of Krsna.’

    “The Name of Krsna is superior to the Name of Rama. Where the two are connected together, the first position should be given to the one that is superior. Therefore, the Name of Krsna must come first in the maha-mantra. This is one point.’

    “Another point is that within the eternal plane, everything is moving in a cyclic order. In an eternal cycle, which is first and which is next cannotbe ascertained, and so, in the eternal plane of lila, it cannot be determined whether Krsna is before Rama or Rama is before Krsna So, from that consideration also, since the Names of Krsna and Rama are eternal and unrelated to any historical event, we may begin the mantra from any place.’

    “But above these considerations, our sampradaya has given another, higher consideration. A deeper understanding will reveal that the Hare Krsna mantra is not at all concerned with rama-lila.’

    “In the Name of Rama within the Hare Krsna mantra, the Gaudiya Vaisnavas will find Radha-ramana Rama. That means, ‘Krsna, who gives pleasure (raman) to Srimati Radharani.’ In our conception, the Hare Krsna mantra is wholesale Krsna consciousness, not Rama consciousness.’

    “Sri Caitanya’s highest conception of things is always svayam bhagavan, krsna-lila, radha-govinda-lila. That is the real purpose of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s advent and teachings. In that consideration, the Hare Krsna mantra does not mention the rama-lila of Ayodhya at all. There is no connection with that in the highest conception of the Hare Krsna mantra.’

    “And the inner conception of the mantra is responsible for our spiritual attainment. When one pronounces the Name of Rama, if he means Dasarathi Rama, his attraction will take him there, to Ayodhya; if he means Parasurama, he will be attracted to another place. And if Rama means Radha-ramana Rama, he will go to Goloka. The inner conception of the devotee will guide him to his destination.” (Loving Search For The Lost Servant) of their devotion.

    Mahāprabhu chanted many names of God , which He accepts and enthuses with Rasa .
    So although names of God when chanted purely have always brought relationship with God , however Mahāprabhu has given new meaning , the Pranaya of Manjari bhava and the abode of love Srimati Radharani is somewhat revealed , through the names that Mahāprabhu has accepted.
    Our acaryas give indication of the newly enthused and changed order of the Maha mantra. With Hare Krishna first , and the Radha Krishna of Vrndavana revealed , in their most perfect Rasa .
    So Mahāprabhu chanted Hare Krishna and many other names , but through Rupa Ragganatha and the Goswami’s taught this Mantra ….and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami made efforts to formalise and regulate , also Srila Ragganatha das chanted in scheduled ways , as did Haridas Thakur.
    Srila Sridhar says this …in regards to some historical information.

In an eternal cycle, which is first and which is next cannotbe ascertained, and so, in the eternal plane of lila, it cannot be determined whether Krsna is before Rama or Rama is before Krsna. So from that consideration also, since the Names of Krsna and Rama are eternal andunrelated to any historical event, we may begin the mantra from any place.’

    “But above these considerations, our sampradaya has given another, higher consideration. A eeper understanding will reveal that the Hare Krsna mantrais not at all concerned with rama-lila.’

    “In the Name of Rama within the Hare Krsna mantra, the Gaudiya Vaisnavas will find Radha-ramana Rama. That means, ‘Krsna, who gives pleasure (raman) to Srimati Radharani.’

    In our conception, the Hare Krsna mantra is wholesale Krsna consciousness, not Rama consciousness.’

    “Sri Caitanya’s highest conception of things is always svayam bhagavan, krsna-lila, radha-govinda-lila. That is the real purpose of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s advent and teachings. In that consideration, the Hare Krsna mantra does not mention the rama-lila of Ayodhya at all. There is no connection with that in the highest conception of the Hare Krsna mantra.’

    “And the inner conception of the mantra is responsible for our spiritual attainment. When one pronounces the Name of Rama, if he means Dasarathi Rama, his attraction will take him there, to Ayodhya; if he means Parasurama, he will be attracted to another place. And if Rama means Radha-ramana Rama, he will go to Goloka. The inner conception of the devotee will guide him to his destination.” (Loving Search For The Lost Servant)

  • Everything is complete, literally.

    Mar 4th, 2026

    Nature as a whole, including the laws its functioning within, is totally and naturally complete.

    This Verse indicates this undeniable and objective truth.

    oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
    pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
    pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
    pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate

    Translation

    The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance

    Completeness does not just refer to nature but also the consciousness within nature .  Each particle of consciousness is enacting specifically , and to order , it’s just exactly what it’s destined and empowered to carry out . Specific functions , the specific skill sets, and inclinations are predestined they have been given by nature . There is a science , a Vedic social science , of how each of the members can uniformly interact with other particles of consciousness in beneficial ways . Divinity makes such  arrangements. Human society is obviously more complicated on the psychological levels, and the smooth running of it with essential social cohesion is essential. Part of the completeness of nature is the natural occupations that individuals are inclined to do can easily knit together in ways that create both social and spiritual mobility.

    It’s essential that this already in place natural cohesion is not disturbed or put out artificially out of balance. Nature will  always balance itself out in time , but sometimes, the unthinking upsets the natural balance of nature and also of all the different types of societies , including the societies of creatures .

    The make up of all things and knowledge of the great societal jigsaw are understood by the Brahminical intelligentsia and the Vipras . That means those highly evolved souls who clearly understand scientifically mind , matter, and consciousness and they gather the appropriate scholars and administrators who can work alongside them for the greatest benefit of all .

    Society remains complete when the heads of society are members of the intelligentsia who are working with the correct Vipras and administrators. As the above verse indicates , nature , meaning Divinity has provided them all . In current times, however, unqualified persons step up  proudly to take various roles in society they are not qualified to do, and they consequently cancel out those who are . These upstarts create havoc and create many many  imbalances within society ,  within nature , and within the animal kingdoms as well as the living  environment as a whole , which it pollutes and poisons,  including foods .

    Ultimately, the completness in society and nature will naturally rebalance itself , and this is the history of the world . Empires come and go over and over , actually, the whole of the universe works in cyclic ways in order to rebalance affairs , so on a micro and macro scale, nature and society are rebalanced.  Birth and death and rebirth again are enacting the very   same process.
