How to understand ultimate Dharma

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates in his purport of Bhagavad Gita 1.11 ,
that Arjuna thought Dharma  sastra ( duties ) were more important than Artha sastra ( political considerations  ). However, Krishna indicated  above both are the Jnana Sastra , * (development of philosophical and spiritual widom ), and that was  more important .  Krishna indicated to Arjuna that with Jnana Sastra knowledge , he would be well able to discriminate and apply  successful applications  of  knowledge based on dualism . These are the ultimate considerations that he should hold in his heart as the topmost importance, beyond the material body , mind, and any  material considerations.  . The problems we all face are forgetting our ultimate relationship with God . We are  putting other plans within the  mortal world above the plan and wishes of our most intimate  well wisher , Lord  Krishna.
The Artha sastra indicates how political structure should operate , but such structures also have elements of  Dharma, which means they must be   properly carried out duties within morality and ethical standards. If those who practice politics discard Dharma, they should be rejected as hopeless leaders who will only bring great harm . Ultimately,  only  jnana sastra can help one understand Dharma and Artha sastra . Jnana, also when linked with pure Bhakti, can take one to the  trancendental knowledge of Krishna… and ultimately to spontaneously loving Divinity .

Certainly, in today’s society, we see a vast array of conflicting views on what should be correctly viewed as justified and fair political structures and practices . Also, there are debates on how one should  regard commitments to duties and responsibilities in family and social relationships . Liberalisation can change everything for the worse , especially if scientific materialism is at its heart .We can also say with the introduction of subjective sciences wherein speculations are accepted as fact based science and best guessing is  held in high asteem , and with logic with rationale appearing to take second place , things are  going a little off track to say the least when it come to bone fide methods of  aquiring knowledge .

The original Vedas, are eternal , in other words pure knowledge is always present , it stems from Divinity Himself and its inspirational and transferred into  the hearts of the seekers of truth. Truth is always present,  but can we see it ? Divinity has the  responsibility to present truth, and the real intelligensia understands its various forms.  The honest intelligentsia brings the proper balance . An  integration and applications of Artha sastra,  Dharma sastra, and  jnana sastra within Bhakti ( devotional) sastra in all its progressive steps are well known to the Vedic Brahminical intelligentsia.  Without the guidance and knowledge of the essential fundermentals  required for human existence, which will bring purposeful and progressive lives based on dualism, we are simply decending into sophisticated animals who fight over territories and live for one life of sense gratification , like a street dog . The  philosophical outlooks and the arts, which can open hearts , and truely objective sciences are neglected or ignored .

The spiritually inclined followers of the Vedas understand scientifically that beauty , originality, creativity, and attraction ultimately have no limits , they understand this because they are well studied in pure consciousness energies ..
Material energies and consciousness energies can never be compared ..
Thus , the Vedas say that real intelligence means to be able to understand matter and consciousness and know the difference .This is understood by the progressive steps within the Vedas that lead to knowledge and detachment .Further progressed persons in spiritual awareness know of the ever new and ever enthusiastic nature of the purest of consciousness and the varigatedness where it resides where ever expanding beauty is exhibited in the association of Krishna and the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani. .

Some of the unlimited and different types of spiritual emotions and the causes of them have been recorded by Srila Rupa Goswami, who had been instructed by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu who is Krishna in the mood of Srimati Radharani .

Of all the destinations and goals of life that are described in the Srimad Bhagavatam and there are many , in this particular age Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has taught by His own example how to not only easily perfect a spiritual life but also how to reach what the Bhagavatam itself says is the greatest of the goals of spiritual culture.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has left his teachings within initially the hearts of the Goswami’s of Vrndavana, the Gaudia Vaisnava’s , only through their extensive Smriti and by the association of those who live their lives by that Smriti or who elaborate correctly with devotion on that Smriti can the Srimad Bhagavatam’s conclusions be thoroughly understood.
By one moments association of such a person, one can by grace approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the Supreme Goddess of fortune.

Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has , under the directions of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , and ultimately the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu who had empowered the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana, presented the Srimad Bhagavatam to the world. It is the natural commentary on the Bramha Sutra,  the condensed form of the four Veda . The original Vedas that Veda Vyasa brought into four sections. The Bhagavatam contains the teachings also of the Puranas, the Itihasas, including the Mahabharata.
It is important to note that many substantial practical lessons are contained for a systematic development of spiritual culture for everyone of all occupations or spiritual standing . One may wonder why the Bhagavatam contains mention of material and spiritual circumstances,  but Krishna intends to come amongst us and teach us , He appears like one of us at times .The Bhagavatam brings to our attention the descriptions of many varieties of spiritual planes along with the different relationships the living beings enjoy in association with Divinity in His many appearances and expansions , as well as with His many  families and friends…

The smiling face of the Bhagavatam , which are  just over twenty chapters of the confidential pastimes of Krishna in His Dhira Lalita form, are purposely minimal but are elaborated upon in the Smriti of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas , headed by Srila Rupa Goswami and Ragganatha das Goswami.

Every relationship with Divinity is glorious in their own way, and so are the devotees who have preferences for particular relationships or forms of Divinity.

The Bhagavatam is a practical guide for everything and everyone,  that’s why it’s been granted and  presented to all people by Krishna.  It applies to everyday living but also trancendental living , everything is spiritual in its own way . Thus, the Bhagavatam brings the peripherals and the cor together . We can not just present the cor , and neither can we just present the peripherals.

The expert Bhagavat , personification of the Bhagavatam knows the art of both the cor and peripherals .

Thus, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami’s society ISKCON has its footprints all over the world and is systematically bringing the understanding of all things spiritual.

It’s not the technical society as such but individuals within it as well as those who are loosely connected to it , including those from other Gaudia Vaisnavas groups who know what AC Bhavtivedanta Swami is doing , under the order of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja,  and why ,  and they all bow down before him .

In Vedic terms Zionism  or any  societies that keep spiritual matters at a distance but use them for their convenience  means that the administration classes seek to userp power from the brahminical or philosophical classes who direct societies  justly and toward spiritual enlightenment . These governments use religion for their  own purposes and link themselves with unthinking and ruthless businessmen so as to fund their mischievously calculated plans .
This happens frequently in the long history of this world.
Again and again, Divinity reestablishes the balance to give the correct portrayal of how societies work for everyone’s benefit , that point is shown throughout all theological cultures.

The peace formula means to properly understand the simultaneous oneness and difference of ourselves with not only Divinity but with all His parts and parcels and not just those in human form . When intelligentsia influence affairs by  influencing administrative  persons and the unthinking businessmen, genuine knowledge and respect for everything that lives enters a heart .

Bob Marley and many others seek justice and homeland ..

He seeks justice…..and that’s good
Homelands are important..
No encroachment…is allowed in Vedic culture. the rights of all peoples and cultures are God given.
The third Canto describes how rivers and mountain ranges separate races ..and people .
The oneness of people is good, but they have differences that need facilitating
Like the siksa Guru in 11th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam
The girl with the noisy bangles………indicating its  not easy to live with other types of people. ..they argue and are noisy .

The key to perfection in societal affairs is having an intelligentsia who understands dualism, which  means the sciences of body , mind, and consciousness. Priorities change with knowledge. Currently, our leaders are all sophisticated animals who all need leading

The societies missing their intelligentsia.

This is what happens when the intelligentsia are silenced and when the unthinking run world affairs.

From United Kingdom…

“The report also found more children are stumbling across pornography accidentally, with some of the 16 to 21-year-olds surveyed saying they had viewed it “aged six or younger”.

More than half of respondents to the survey had viewed strangulation as children, prompting Dame Rachel to also ask the government to ban depictions of it.

Pornography depicting rape of a sleeping person was also seen by 44% of respondents as children.

The data was gathered prior to the amendments to the Online Safety Act in July, which brought in age verification tools for pornography.

Dame Rachel described the findings as “rock bottom”.

“This tells us how much of the problem is about the design of platforms, algorithms and recommendation systems that put harmful content in front of children who never sought it out,” the commissioner said, calling for the report to act as a “line in the sand”.

The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology told the BBC “children have been left to grow up in a lawless online world for too long” and “the Online Safety Act is changing that.”….

End of the report..

The Vedic view ….

This is what happens when the intelligentsia are silenced,  and when the political administrative classes are the paid servants of the businessmen , who virtually and unfortunately  rule the world directly and indirectly.  Political parties are funded by those who insist on lobbying powers .

In-depth knowledge of social sciences , minds , psychological affairs , the needs of the different members of societies, and the sciences of consciousness are some of the responsibilities of an intelligensia . Society should never  be directed by a person who is clueless or unfamiliar with these essentials . Scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis have provided false evidence and have , for many, many years, sent societies in every kind of direction apart from the essential ones . Every theological culture must have a thorough and scientific approach to the material and spiritual realms , there is a connection between the two are it is designed that way .

We know Albert Einstein said, “Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind “

We have to realise why this was said , many people try to interpret his words , but without knowledge of dualism, they remain clueless of the meaning.

Four classes are displayed broadly.

The sensitive philosophically directed ,persons who scientifically observe objective sciences and understand body mind and consciousness, along with dualism .

An administrative person or a leader or king or queen who the intelligentsia must advise and must be heard

The business community who can think of nothing but profit and money accumulation , the administrative classes must control such persons , they are clueless ruthless leaders

And the general tradesman and workers who need protection care and all their needs should be met , housing , education, health care etc .

Unless the real intelligensia are guiding and teaching and influential in teaching dualism and greater consciousness development, then society falls into the hands of the unintelligent, and they get voted in by the even more unintelligent…

A special benediction all types of Karma removed…Prarabdha ,  karma, karma that ordinarily might restrict one that are currently bearing fruits and aprarabdha karma those that are connected to deeper states of consciousness that are in the karmic pipeline are all  removed ..by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtana movement.

Srila BR Sridhar Swami says ..

“Karma is divided mainly into two divisions: prarabdha and aprarabdha. Prarabdha: karma that is attached to and to be finished in this body. Aprarabdha: karma that is reserved for a future life.”

The very deepest states of a mind and its working stem from deep impressions and attitudes  from long, long ago , in  previous lives, which are currently bearing fruit, and they are not easily given up . A material mind can be a minefield of unpredictability.  Recently accumulated impressions and further additions to one’s karma to bear future fruits  are  called  aprarabdha karma . To a degree, both types are interwoven, but the Prarabdha karma are thought by some  followers of the Vedas to greatly restrict one , and maybe so one level , but in transcendental consciousness anything goes . Thus , a blind man can see , a lame man can walk and a dumb man can compose eloquent poetry.  Some persons are automatically connected with a stronger urge for spiritual affairs because of previous connections to some  previous spiritual searchings . Or some may develop deeper cultural searchings of different kinds .

Continued actions and attraction  are the result of Prarabdha karma some good some not so good .

The Gaudia Vaisnava movement under the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His leading  followers , Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami have uniquely given the scientific  remedies to remove both types of Karmas along with  all their subtle makeups . Both types of accumulated and current karma are in vouge and operational , with any future reactions.  Ordinarily, those attachments would lead to  another body with either gross attachments to the material world or a  further striving for impersonal liberation or mystic opulences and various powers.  Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has immediately granted anyone the benedictions of a clean slate no matter what you were . A Suddha Satva pure Krishna consciousness state with a clean  heart is given ,  all the dust and dirt of countless lives will be removed, and loving blissful consciousness is restored with no bad feelings or envy  . Thus, the Sankirtana movement can  quickly free anyone from all types of  karma that bind us to the lower material planes .

By engaging positively in Bhakti Yoga, everything of the prarabdha karma is quickly removed , as well as  future Aprarabdha karmas . The  karmic synchronicity journey is finally halted . By engaging in much deeper meditations  and Bhajan . Crucially chanting the Holy names of Krishna and  calling for help, one will be awarded entrance into trancendental study of  the books of the Rasika acaryas . Their descriptions of Radha Krishna Nitya Lila will serve as  the final removal of everything inauspicious within the heart .

The regular Hindu followers do not understand these prarabdha and aprarabdha  aspects of karmic reactions that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu movement is eradicating . However, this is the full  glory of Mahaprabhu’s teachings and the unique benediction offered . The potency and magnanimity  of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is His special mercy , which is causeless and is offered to one and all . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains very extensively in his books all these points.

Why place limits of where or how living systems exist.

Multidimensional universe each  with different laws of nature and how  time influences events , the Vedas say .

The scientific community, for reasons best left to themselves to explain , assume that every  part of our universe is subject to the exact  same physical laws , including time dilation . They also assume the same chance evolutionary laws apply, meaning  life will evolve in similar ways . When scientific materialism is instilled within the brain , it can only work one way .

Recently though , some  scientists have begun to think quite differently.  Certainly the Vedas have a lot to say on universal affairs and beyond  and perhaps the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall is more closely aligned to the Vedas with her “Branes” (as in membrane) theory , which brings us the possibility of different laws and also planes of existence , those being visible only to certain types of senses and not ours . Ethereal planes of existence with opulences beyond our imagination and of much finer qualities are fully contained within the Vedic sciences. Time and  relativity are Einstein’s thoughts, which are certainly played out throughout the Vedic universe.

Even in our experience of sensual life , the human cannot hear the high pitch of a dog whistle or the low sounds of the blue whale within the deep oceans.  Senses differ . When you dream at night, you see, hear, and act out your life as much as in the day ,  that’s a fact,  but not in your wakefulness body .So which body ?  The fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam describes the multidimensional universe where laws and time operate according to other specifications and designs , higher grade of life with difference to mind and senses and intelligence to suit .  This is facilitating  consciousness  on unimaginable levels of beauty and wisdoms . These  displays of highly elevated states of beauty emotions and consciousness should not be dismissed . We should remember the inexplicable varieties of life on this physical plane , and also remember the inexplicable varieties of minds and intellects .   We  also should not limit God’s abilities or capability in his expressions and expansions of life of all kinds , He is unlimitedly powerful and naturally brings forth His energies. We can not compare them to ours , He is the supreme scientist.

The scientific community of  physicists are thinking

“While the idea of universal, unchanging physical laws is a cornerstone of modern physics, there is growing evidence and theoretical speculation suggesting that the same laws might not apply everywhere in the universe, and that some fundamental constants, like the fine-structure constant, might vary. However, it’s crucial to distinguish between the fundamental laws of physics and the way they manifest or appear in different regions of the universe. “

Dr Richard Thompson, PHd,an ISKCON member, has written on Vedic cosmology , and the 3rd and 5th Canto of the Bhagavatam reveal the varigatedness  of the multidimensional universe where time and physics operates entirely differently.

A spiritual movement that fully  represents the Vedas is possible when the conversations between Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Ramananda Roy are properly reflected upon and understood in full , the whole conversation is representative of the benedictions that Mahāprabhu has brought , this brings the peripherals to the cor teachings as presented by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu empowered. These messages aee to be properly presented to members of the public as a systematic and all encompasing approach to spiritual progression leading to the goal of pure spontaneous loving service. . The peripherals begin with Varna Ashram that can very easily and quickly connect to the esoteric cor by the processes of  the process outlined by Ramananda Roy and that Mahāprabhu approved of . Bhakti yoga ,is the process that Lord Krishna Himself speaks about in the Bhagavad Gita , its connections in the form of  karma yoga , jnana yoga , niskarma karma yoga and astanga yoga , these are processes given and approved by Krishna Himself and are the greatest hope for mankind  .Vedas means pure  knowledge , knowledge of the means  to acquire knowledge, and what is the perfection of knowledge. The names of God are non different than God , in current times , the easy process of calling with sincerity any name of God is the means to aquire knowledge of God , by calling out to Divinity He will respond and make clear the directions and process to follow .

Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana, the great devotional and brilliantly erudite scholar writes this in his commentary on the Tattva Sandarbha of Srila Jiva Goswami, ” May I have attraction and taste for the truth in the form of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu who is endowed with eternal bliss and non different than Divinity Himself,  for Caitanya who is named as the deliverer of the universe, is the supervisor of Dharma and who bestows satisfaction just by having slight devotion to Him “

Oh. Morality …

Well, laws of all countries and morality stem from theological cultures.
Otherwise, we would become sophisticated animals and have no thoughts for others .
The Darwinian assumes morality is a protective element for group dynamics…..its another speculation …
However, sensitive dealings stem from the original nature of our consciousness , and morality brings us on a journey of knowledge and detachment from the physical and mental body ..
Those who follow immoral lives become more bound to the mental and physical body within a responsive universe and can only identify with it ,
Morality is the beginnings of the way out , and liberation begins as well as elevation of consciousness ..

Much more on this soon
