  • The programmer is present

    May 25th, 2026

    Bg. 7.14 Bhagavad Gita as it is .

    दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
    मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥ १४ ॥

    daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī
    mama māyā duratyayā
    mām eva ye prapadyante
    māyām etāṁ taranti te

    Translation

    This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.

    Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha points us to the creation maintenance and destruction of this existence,  both in micro and macro formats.  From the individual Mayfly to the universal affairs. Goodness , passion, and ignorance,  the three modes are directly Krishna’s energies, Sri , Bhu ,and Durga.

    Krishna, through his agencies , is directly the modes of nature,  they are His subtle energies,  and like a software programmer is present in his program,  in one sense,  Krishna is fully present within the heart as our conditioner , He hears and feels our desire and appropriate material consciousness covers the pure soul . Free will and determinism are in effect . Krishna, through the modes of nature, responds with our subtle conditioning and the universal responsive universe with it many possibilities, which is already calculating our next destination. The living beings are totally dependent but have minute independence .

    Krishna tells us that we should become part of His family , take ” birth ” in Goloka Vrndavana,  it will be your last . You have to take birth somewhere,  why not there , you have to have family and friends somewhere,  why not there .

    As AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains , everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna. This consciousness is Krishna consciousness.  At the same time, in conditioned life, Krishna is facilitating our independence with matter , its His ” programming” running the modes  and His “divine universal algorithms ” providing the responsive universe.

    The Bhagavad Gita as it is explains all, and Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami explains Krishna and His energies and workings perfectly.

  • Lost leaders and their crooked friends

    May 24th, 2026

    Reinstate  leaders of quality

    AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada

    Arrival Address…
    “At the present moment, the human society is giving stress on the mercantile class of men and worker class Actually, there is no intelligent class of men or administrative class of men. So our movement is creating some intelligent class of men. According to our Vedic knowledge, the first-class intelligent man is he who knows what is God. He’s first-class intelligent man.”…………

    Unless this happens….we are left to the failed democracies,  who are infiltrated by businessmen and who virtually pay for political parties and want a payback in the form of lobbying success.
    Fools will continue to vote in fools unless society can be educated to know what a real leader is and where he is leading the electorate to .Unless the electorate know of what is the ultimate good , they end up voting for the unthinking headless leaders who are clueless,  they are interested in short term material goals , that are controlled and legislated by so called free markets,  that are in reality fixed monopolies.
    Society is becoming influenced by the lowest classes of men who are  infused with scientific materialism , and cheating science is presented to students as fact based sciences.  Darwinian hypothesis is the name of the game with rampant materialism . The results are that sophisticated animals who have no sense of the potential of consciousness are the directors of the world.  The conclusions of these Darwinian speculative sciences are not based on objective scientific methods. Everything concluded is based on subjectivity and best guessing. So the whole of the modern world is following the best guessing and subjective  speculations  of truely clueless persons. Modern Western societies have their political philosophy and policy based on sophisticated animal consciousness , and what do animals inevitably do ? You guessed it ….fight ….If you ask your leader what consciousness is and that is the most important question that anyone can ask , not one of our scientific or political leaders could give an answer . Yet they expect us all to follow them . What are the goals of sophisticated animals,  eating , sleeping, sex , and snatching territories or defending snatched territories. Sophisticated animals do animalism big time , global conglomerates, and world led ruthless consumerism is the evidence. Cancel culture and narratives of every kind are spilling out of TV studies and out of  social media . Speculations, and best guesses  are passing as knowledge in place of authentic objective sciences and cultures of wisdom that originates from knowledge of consciousness . Divinity is  represented in every theological culture , but such cultures without a scientific outlook to consciousness will be swamped by materially motivated practitioners. The self realised properly understand the broad topics of theological studies based around mind ,matter and consciousness in all its states and outward appearances in scientific ways , not sentiments.

    Interfaith.

    Although the immature followers of different faiths have problems with each other ,  the most spiritually advanced of them don’t . Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha says when one looks at a multicoloured cloth people see different colours , and each individual may see one colour as more prominent than anither individual. Similarly, theological cultures differ somewhat , but they are cut from the same cloth . In that way, people of wisdom rightly have much respect for each other and can easily share in their experiences of Divinity .
    So , it’s important for faiths to be primarily judged on the most advanced followers of each one . The lesser advanced persons who see so many differences in religious theological texts in time by becoming spiritual mature will also be able to share faith with no insecurities and with realized knowledge.

    When leaders fail to take seriously the honest and wise intelligentsia problems arise of every kind. Leaders of today ignore the intelligentsia who are scientifically able to  understand consciousness and dualism and who thus see the self-evident truth of the equality of  all being and know of their rights under God’s laws .

    Reagan …trickle down economics is the example of crooked capitalism gone mad ..

    Fanatic ..and extremists follow this system. It’s what the world economics forum is based upon .
    Trickle-down economics fails ..
    Greed breeds more greed and more competing to be the most greedy ..this is sophisticated animalism.
    Thus ..for example , young people cant buy a house right now , as most are owed by private landlord’s . Lobbying by financial companies have escalated and forever upwards house prices , its built in to a system contrived by the greedy ,  who see to it their government friends don’t build too many houses ….The stock , currency, and commodity markets work primarily on insider information, that cause poverty and wealth at a micro second . Third world countries have no securities for economic developments, as the commodities they sell are subjected to not free markets , but fixed markets , every third world country has outside political interferences driving conflict .
    This is the dream of Ronald Reagan and the nightmare for everyone else .
    Businessmen can never never be left to run society unless they take instructions from a genuine government who are directed by an intelligensia with the highest characteristics

  • Vedic justice and governance

    May 24th, 2026

    Victim consciousness , where karma ends and injustices begin .

    No victim consciousness in Krishna consciousness says the unthinking..

    That’s OK but , lets get things in perspective .When duties are carried out properly by persons who have the particular qualifications or skill sets for designated tasks , and still suffering comes upon us , then we can think there are times suffering is unavoidable and karma  most definitely works like that . There are at times some circumstances that come about where injustices are justice, by karmic synchronicities , we live in a responsive universe , and it will and does respond . However,  Vedic culture works on the principle of Varna Ashram . This implies the right person for the right job , and carried out correctly according to set standards that are ultimately legitimated by the Vedas and supervised by the  Vedic intelligentsia  who bring governance, compliance and justice to all proceedings.
    Thus .
    One who does wrong and suffers wrong is wrong .
    When Lord Bramha went to see Maha Visnu with his concerns of the” goings on ” on the earth planet  that was being  overburdened with militarism.
    Krishna did not say
    ” Why are you bothering me? This is everyone’s karma , there are no unnecessary sufferings. “
    Rather, he came to establish justice and reestablish good leadership and reestablish principles of religion in all senses , by doing so, the innocent are protected . In one sense, as Prabhupada says ,  no one is innocent in the material world….but that’s no licence for inflicting suffering or poor leadership or arranging businessmen to take control of the world.  Democracies have boiled down to fools voting in fools and fools appointing other fools to do jobs they haven’t the psychological mindsets for .

    Much more on this important point later .

  • Degrees of union and separation.

    May 24th, 2026

    Separation and union are played out on many scales in very minor or very major ways, the third class, second class and the first class Gaudia Vaisnava can experience relatively these feelings and understand something of these matters by studying the books of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.
    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has personally taught the six Goswami’s who elaborate fully on the path of devotion from its beginnings to the Param Gatim , the ultimate goal, of Prema Vivarta , meaning a union in separation.
    Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has written on these topics, particularly within the Caitanya Caratamrita, and it’s available in every language.

    The spiritually of union in separation has its basis of being also eager to be in the association of Radha Krishna,  both Srimati Radharani and Krishna Himself demonstrated in their pastimes this union and separation to levels far beyond comprehension as did Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Love means , in spiritual terms , twenty four hours thinking and being in the association of Krishna, Radharani and Their intimate friends and family. If one spends a moment in forgetfulness, one is not really in the spiritual kingdoms.

  • The essential clean of a heart leads to the essence of spirituality

    May 23rd, 2026

    Become expert at cleaning..

    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has introduced the best of yoga systems. Yoga means to link with God , and what is the best way to link with anyone? It’s through love . By love, hearts are opened, and as love increases, hearts are further opened . Something gets in the way of the light of love , and that is the darkness of our long-standing conditioned life. Conditioned life restricts the natural light of love , but through the light of love, darkness can also be understood and reacted to .Without light, darkness can not be seen or understood. The process of congregational chanting of the Holy names , a trancendental sound that  purifies  not only an individually,  but the more individuals who take up the process the faster and faster  the atmosphere of the world  changes . To understand our own darkness and the darkness that is currently permeating the planet, we require real intelligence . With real intelligence,  we can see things as things really are and understand the causes of the problems and know solutions.  Chanting the Holy names congregationally or personalised jappa are  both the means and the end of a perfection of spiritual life . Cleaning the heart is the essential task, and revelation may come .  Mahāprabhu showed a wonderful example in His pastimes when cleaning the Gundicha temple , recorded in the Caitanya Caratamrita , with extensive commentaries by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada . He relates within his writings of this cleansing  the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas thoughts on the processes of purification. Unwanted things are carried life after life , careful cleaning is needed , where to clean within the deep subtle heart and mind are spoken of , and it needs to be learned from by those who are expert cleaners  .  All offences must be given up , and not expecting any  respect or a following is key .  Giving respect to everyone is the essence of success in chanting and reaching the esoteric trancendental planes of Krishna’s eternal pastimes with His family and friends is chantings perfection and goal .
    The conclusion of Bhagavad Gita is “Think of Me become my devotee, ” Krishna says it, and Mahāprabhu demonstrated how to do it .
    man-manā bhava mad-bhakto
    mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
    mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te
    pratijāne priyo ’si me
    Translation
    Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend

    Here is overview..

    “The Gundicha Temple cleaning, or Gundicha Marjana, is a significant annual ritual before the Rath Yatra, where Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees thoroughly sweep and wash the temple, symbolizing the inner purification of the heart from unwanted desires (anarthas) to make it a fit place for Krishna. This act involves meticulous cleaning with brooms, water, and even personal garments, teaching devotees humility and selfless service (seva) through dedicated, loving effort.
    Significance & Symbolism
    Inner Cleansing: It’s a metaphor for cleansing one’s own heart of pride, envy, and selfish desires, much like cleaning the temple’s dust and dirt.
    Spiritual Practice: The physical act of cleaning becomes a form of devotional service (seva) that helps remove anarthas (unwanted desires) from the heart, preparing it for Krishna’s presence.
    Example of Lord Chaitanya: Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu personally led the cleaning with great enthusiasm, using His own clothes, demonstrating the ideal mood of selfless devotion. “.

    Srila Rupa Goswami, in his writings, has given a thorough understanding of all things related to heart cleaning,  and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami’s book Sri Manah Siksa takes the matter into practical teachings and in other of his books the spiritual realms are revealed

  • Who is telling who , who is following who .

    May 23rd, 2026

    My statement….

    .”Computer chips act exactly like a person who originally programmed it. It is like the programmer is personally present in one sense….and making sure his processes and procedures are followed. “

    The Ai reply ….. ” That is a fascinating philosophical take! While a computer chip is fundamentally just billions of microscopic switches (transistors) directing electrical currents based on strict mathematical logic, it is easy to see why it feels like the programmer’s digital ghost is in the machine.Here is how that connection works in practice:Frozen Thought: A programmer translates their logic into code, which is then compiled into binary (zeros and ones). The chip simply executes these pre-written instructions at lightning speed. It isn’t “thinking” in real-time; it is faithfully playing back the exact sequence of thoughts the programmer had beforehand.The Illusion of Agency: When you interact with advanced software or AI, the chip responds dynamically to your inputs. However, this adaptability isn’t the chip “improvising”—it is running branching algorithms (e.g., “if the user does \(X\), output \(Y\)”) that the programmer anticipated and designed.Scale and Complexity: The feeling that the programmer is “personally present” scales with complexity. In simple calculators, the link is obvious. In modern machine learning, the programmer sets up the learning rules and training data, but the resulting neural network becomes so complex that even the creators cannot predict every single pathway the chip will take.Ultimately, a chip is more like an incredibly complex, automated player piano. The music it plays is entirely defined by the person who wrote the sheet music, but the speed and precision with which it plays make it feel like a live performance….”.

    The implications of Ai information transfers  within different cultures , of their history,  philosophical outlooks , their theological cultures,  family traditions, and sciences are worth considering. Someone  somewhere can be monkeying with everyones options and learning and infiltrating bit by bit ,  generation after generation, and could be retelling everything we came to accept as truth in a totally different way .

    In Vedic terms we can try to understand free will , determinism and ever changing karmic synchronicities. We understand the supersoul in the original seer ,He hears first , He is the permitter and overseer , He inspires and guides both the honest and dishonest. Accordingly, the space- time continuum in operation,  our past , present, and future are interlinked . The Vedas say the supersoul is not an eternal expansion,  but like Mahavisnu, a functional expansion,  who provides and is  overseeing the individual souls activities. Such expansions are manifest and unmanifest .

    The algorithmic responsive universe that follows the ethereal state of mind that’s caused by interactions within the material world is going on . The original programmer is present, within our hearts, but His technology is incomprehensible manifest , and how personal is personal and how automated is automated.

  • Importantly

    May 23rd, 2026

    In a world of education and supposed logic and rational thinking , it’s important for the theological minded to counteract speculations and guessings in the sciences that are being presented as fact based sciences ..Although trancendental emotions and spiritual feelings are very powerful and can over come any intellectual bias when it comes to understanding Divinity , still Divinity Himself explains His , what the Vedas refer to as ,  Vibutis , or Krishna’s energies of function within the material world,  and that make up both the microbial world and the multidimensional universes. Krishna from within the Vedas also explains social sciences and His favoured political systems.
    So along with the bliss of spiritual love and pure consciousness, which is actually the most important, come the truely rational and logical and scientific explanations to our world and circumstance.

    Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita spends His time speaking to Arjuna , everything in summary about the make up of mind , matter , consciousness,  time and the difference between living in a spiritual or a material realm have been spoken of .  How the two reflect for various reasons is clear ,  free will and determinism are played out along with justice and a judiciary. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all in his books, which are available throughout the world in every language.

  • Micro macro.

    May 23rd, 2026

    Here is an example of natural micro evolution.
    I made a statement  question.

    And the answer is given .
    By Divinities arrangement the material world is endlessly mutable and changing. Nothing is stable , as karmic conditions cause changes as well as the expanding universe on a macro scale …
    My statement

    “climatic variations and different genetics within every species leads to favoured genetics surviving and less favoured dying out or roaming to other parts of the world ..”

    The answer….
    “You are describing the core mechanism of natural selection, the primary driver of evolution…… (THIS IS MICRO EVOLUTION)…my comment ………When environmental conditions change or vary across regions, specific genetic traits become advantages for survival.Here is how this process works, broken down step-by-step:Genetic Variation: Within any species, individuals possess a wide variety of genetic traits and sexual reproduction.Environmental Pressure: Climatic shifts (e.g., temperature changes, altered rainfall) or geographical variations create specific challenges, such as food scarcity or new predators.Differential Survival: Individuals with genetics that are better suited to the new climate (e.g., thicker fur for a sudden cold spell) are more likely to survive and reproduce. This is often summarized as “survival of the fittest.”Adaptation over Time: Over generations, the advantageous genes become more common in the population, altering the species’ overall genetic makeup to fit that specific environment.Migration: As you noted, when conditions become unfavourable, some populations will migrate to new regions where their existing traits are better suited, or to avoid competition.Over long periods, if different populations of the same species are separated by geography and adapt to completely different climates, “

    My comments
    THERE ARE NO  BEARS SUDDENLY CHANGING INTO WHALES …
    MICRO DOES NOT MEAN MACRO ……
    Natural genetics cause minor changes and favours speech.
    Darwins finches…..simply some beaks were better suited to particular fruit trees as climate changes occurred and that they are constantly in fluctuations..
    The problems with the Darwinians are that there are extrapolate and present micro as leading to speciation.

    We should know as consciousness enters the particular mothers , the jiva ,accompanied by the supersoul. The information to build a particular body begins. Molecules don’t move towards life ..
    Life comes from life, and the reading’s of the genomes begin . Rna messenger molecules pass on the engineers instructions on to the ribosome, and the process begins .
    At any time, divine intervention can occur, and a massive shift in information could occure , there are very very rare examples, and a particular fish species quite abruptly changed form .
    Our argument will be that an engineer who is directly and indirectly conscious of all beings can at any time intervene according to circumstances.

    Evolutionary scientists are constantly having to adapt to objective sciences, never mind species adapting .
    That’s the true picture of evolutionary neo Darwinian hypothesis..
    In time it will adapt to look like the real objective world , haekles embryo pictures, Darwins finches , moths and soot , little warm ponds and bears to whales or micro to macro evolution will be a feature in a scientific history museum, as much as ” Lucy ” who has the gait of an ape , is the main feature in the natural history museum in London…

    An important point to consider is that we live in a cyclic universe and that partial recycling  takes place place every 4.5 billion years . This means  speciation pe say began a long long time ago , some 113 trillion years ago when the genetics were delivered to Lord Bramha in all their forms to facilitate the multidimensional universe , the Vedas indicates. 8,400,000 different species of life in total , 400,000 of which are humanoid who are situated within the middle , lower and upper planetary systems ,wherein  time and physical laws operate on many different levels, including the more subtle ethereal . Consciousness itself remains a complete mystery to the mechanistic Darwinian who follow scientific materialism , primordial soup, and the neurons’ firing with a brain  hypothesis , although the brain is a computer like entity,  where the subtle energies function and get expressed.

  • Gaudiya Vaisnavism,  and darkness to light .

    May 22nd, 2026

    In the highest trancendental philosophies of Gaudia Vaisnavism the only way to get free from layers of darkness is to concentrate on the layers of light emanating from the trancendental pastimes of Radha Krishna’s realm in Goloka Vrndavana, the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas describe them and write about them . The Back to Godhead magazine slogan and logo used by the the founder of ISKCON Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami is depicting this and says …. Godhead is light ,nescience is darkness, where there is Godhead there is no nescience.
    Bg. 2.59.Bhagavad Gita as it is

    विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः ।
    रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते ॥ ५९ ॥

    viṣayā vinivartante
    nirāhārasya dehinaḥ
    rasa-varjaṁ raso ’py asya
    paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate

    Translation
    Though the embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.

    The treatment of Krishna consciousness entails seeing everything as Krishna’s energies and every living being as a part of Krishna.  When one is in illusion one sees things as separate from Krishna,  but the therapeutic processes of beginning to use everything properly under the directions of the pure devotees,  brings our consciousness back to truth and back to light . This can be a gradual process or it can be quickly achieved depending on circumstances.

    The sciences of coming from darkness to light are explained very expertly by Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas both personally and in their writings..Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has worked miracles in establishing Krishna consciousness philosophy all over the world,  he was no ordinary soul..Many Gaudia Vaisnava devotees wonder who he is .

  • Vedic reformation , the reset .

    May 22nd, 2026

    When someone is neglecting their best interests its the responsibility of someone with a better understanding of what could be any number of  circumstances , and who have a particular persons best  interests at heart , to attempt to educate or inform them of better ways to see things . Such a well wisher will be concerned and make attempts to stop a person from any  further webbs of  entanglements that will lead to  entirely unbeneficial and actually harmful  results. In the case of a human life, the Vedas gives guidance and warnings . A person within the material universe knowingly or unknowingly has to face the consequences of many universal laws , but these laws are clearly defined and are known by the Vedic intelligentsia . A life of  incalculably complex karmic synchronicities is in operation for everyone as a space time continuum connects a past , a present, and a future . Those without the specific tools to hand have no way of understanding it . What are  described as good and bad in ordinary material  life calculations are in absolute  spiritual terms  described in one sense as all bad . This is because good karma and bad karma deviate one from the best of destinations , where birth , death , old age and disease are left behind along with the influences of the ethereal modes of nature that force the conditioned souls to act practically against their wishes . The power of maya , the illusory energies , and the subsequent material desires can be   overwhelming . It’s Gods illusion,  what do you expect , He is the supreme Wizard of illusions.
    Death is much feared by everyone, and if there is God, people shake their fists in anger at Him . Having everything in their lives taken away by Him, they see as unfair.  However, someone who lives a life in harm to themselves and to others causes  greater and greater entanglements  and pain to themselves and miss out on something far, far greater . Those who  do not  realise their full absolute potential and who fail to understand  the sciences of mind , matter, and consciousness need a reset , a reset is mercy .
    Part of the reset and a rectification processes which  assists in a recovery of good consciousness ,  often means a spell within the mindset of the animal kingdoms where previous synchronicities can be played out in relative safety avoiding harm to others ..The reset of death and new life should always be seen in positive ways . God is all good and eternally has the interests of every being deep within His own  heart . With that purpose, He constantly accompanies every being within their hearts . Much greater destinations are awaiting  where a natural bliss and happiness accompanied by pure love are destined for all being . God or Krishna lives in realms of spiritual existence where birth , death , old age, and disease are unheard of , miseries of body , minds, and miseries inflicted by other conditioned beings are fully absent . Those that are  inflicted by the material energies and laws of physics need education.
    Child like purity and simplicity are the quality of the soul . Living eternally for the moment ,within increasing ever new  enthusiasm and bliss  is inherently stationed within the heart. This experience in the company of Divinity and His associates are had to the full , and they are unlimitedly and spiritually  astounding , soul to soul connections . This is our right  and our destination. Death comes to take us a little closer in one way or another .

    Thus Krishna says …

    janma karma ca me divyam
    evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ
    tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
    naiti mām eti so ’rjuna

    Translation

    One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.
