When one loses touch with absolute truth , other truths inevitably slide into a continual decline, spiralling faster and further into the oblivion of entangled deceit , the vedas say your untruths are tsken with you next life as are your truths . Cheaters become cheated in the algorithmic processes of the responsive universe. Such is the nature of the illusory energy of Divinity , which awards 8,400,000 different species where those untruths can be lived out . Truth declines so much in current times that any man speaking truth is ridiculed or in todays world silenced , some call it cancel culture, and the persons who are speaking lies are glorified as truthful and visionary. Current algorithmic processes and Ai assisted technologies assist the dishonest greatly. The most cooked of persons , who together snatch the worlds recourses , pay very good money to anyone who will repeat their lies , one becomes the servant of the “devil ” . And with algorithms deliberately set to favour untruths, the rascals and demoniac see to it that things will work 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 lordship of matter and argumentations against absolute truth should be reversed , logic and objective sciences should be accepted. One of the greatest untruths are Darwinian hypothesis and scientific materialism, they are guessing, but presented as as absolute ttuth , these untruths are the foundations our global conglomerate material world and its politics of ruthless explotation and disrespect of others and their cultures. Acceptance and adoption of a humility of heart should be accepted along with a general respect for all beings , along with compassionate thoughts . With truth comes a natural detachment , and peace within the heart will as the beginnings of a relationship with Divinity will be underway . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
If you have chosen democracies for governance and compliance systems , you are reliable on the intelligence of who to make the right choice of its leaders and governors. The most intelligent of all arrangements surely is to have the most intelligent of leaders , who is of the highest characteristics in every way possible and because of such a persons impeccable character the associates that he would choose to help in his administration will naturally be of the same character as himself. Birds of a feather flock together for sure , for example, dodgy, immoral characters who are apt to cheat and are duplicitous are sure to bring similar persons into their association a crooked person cannot understand truth or recognise or be attracted to goodness . The Western societies are very enthusiastic about democracies, why ? Before everyone blindly and unintelligently assumes democracies are superior and glorious, how can they say so , what is the evidence? The evidence must be presented , what is the logic , what are the guarantees, and what education to the electorate is offered . King Henry 8th was indeed a murderous person , however the Vedic systems of Autocratic governments had ways and means to remove a Rascal king , this was because ultimately the most honest , pure and intelligent persons who understood the sciences of mind , matter and consciousness, both in its conditioned and liberated states , were able to clearly perceive the best of directions for all citizens whosoever they were , they were well wishes, independent , and were detached from power and never paid , ultimately they guide the Autocratic leaders . The current world governments are failing their citizens , and the people themselves do not know how to choose or what a good leader is or what qualities they might have .Everyone is being cheated in one way or another . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
When Albert Einstein said the measurement of intelligence is the ability to change, he makes an excellent point . In Vedic circles, the essence of all change is to change one’s conditioned nature brought about by countless entanglements within a responsive universe and reorientate it, discovering the original spiritual nature .Those types of considerations and deep contemplations take intelligence ,and God says he helps those that help themselves and further in the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says directly “I will give you the intelligence to untangle yourself and come to me “ Albert Einstein also said, “religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.” If one can understand why he said such a thing , then one will certainly be well on the way to intelligently change outlooks and worldviews . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami, through his litratures and translations of the Srimad Bhagavatam, explains all , and especially the path of change….
Now the question comes , it’s not so easy to change , old thinking and old habits die hard . Remembering the Vedic standpoint that the consciousness is eternal and has had many many dips into the material energies and has become covered over and over again , the rejuvenation of an original spiritual nature would take some doing .
It’s a fact, and Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita confirms this , Arjuna says, ” It’s more difficult to control the mind and our conditioned nature that controlling a gale force wind “
Krishna agrees it’s difficult ” But by constant practice and detachment it’s done “
Krishna says, “I will help you. I will give you the intelligence with which you can come to me . Simply hear my messages “
And Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu says in this age, ” I will make it easy , simply chant My Holy names with sincerity.” Call to Me , like a child crying to a mother . Associating with pure devotees is essential, and reading the literature of the param para acaryas is imperative. By this process, a certain intelligence is brought to bear . The Holy Names will award higher taste of spiritual bliss when chanted in humility ” The windows of the spiritual worlds open through the Names and litratures of Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and their followers in Gaudiya Vaisnava param para .
So, it’s not a lone process , Bhakti Devi is injected into the heart by the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu . This process is simply for the simple hearted and sincere person, and even for rouges, by association, purification occurs in time. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Differences of perception can be experienced according to material and spiritual consciousness. Perception can be deceiving. Some material and spiritual thinkers may both say, “I belong to myself, I am it.” This could be thought of as rather self-centred and limiting . The Vedas outlines philosophically orientated considerations. Most definitely, we all have a sense of belonging . If Divinity has unlimited capacity, then feasibly He can recipricate a sense of acceptance unlimitedly for to belong we must feel that sense of acceptance. No one can belong without acceptance. The great Gaudia Vaisnava acarya of recent times Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja once said, ” Krishna may a may not accept you its up to Him ” The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have taken these thoughts to the limits say We must understand who we are not before we understand who we are , and when we understand who we are , then we can have an inkling of where we might belong ,and gradually bring ourselves to where we feel a real sense of home comfort in every way . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada coined the phrase “Back home , back to Godhead.” The great Vaisnava acarya Srila Rupa Goswami , who was personally taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, wrote this verse.
nāhaṁ vipro na ca nara-patir nāpi vaiśyo na śūdro nāhaṁ varṇī na ca gṛha-patir no vanastho yatir vā kintu prodyan-nikhila-paramānanda-pūrnāmṛtābdher gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ
TRANSLATION ” ‘I am not a brāhmaṇa, I am not a kṣatriya, I am not a vaiśya or a śūdra. Nor am I a brahmacārī, a householder, a vānaprastha or a sannyāsī. I identify Myself only as the servant of the servant of the servant of the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the maintainer of the gopīs. He is like an ocean of nectar, and He is the cause of universal transcendental bliss. He always exists with brilliance .
This trancendental verse brings us to the esoteric plane of pranaya, the oneness of love and belonging. Belonging means we serve a purpose in a relationship. Every particle of consciousness belongs and has a purpose that purpose fully satisfies the inner depths of the conscious state and increasingly so http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Mantra is important and should be resounded by someone who is a least lower madhyam.. But the Sabdha Brahman comes from either the Uttama Diksa or Uttama Siksa. It’s this that changes the heart . Although the seed is planted by a reasonable level Diksa , although it’s doubtful whether the kanista could plant a seed , but maybe , the watering process is described by our acaryas but somehow or another the hearing of Sabdha Brahman from a topmost devotee is highly beneficial, just one moments association sastra say .Sastra Sanga is also the topmost association, but the seed has to be well watered to understand and enter it on real terms ….
Srila Jiva Goswami says, ” The word Manomayah means the Lord is understand by concentration of the very pure mind.” Krishna is the support of the giver of Pranas , the various life airs . Krishna is the most subtle , pure, and supremely spiritual personality . He is performing directly and indirectly all actions , and all of the universal actions are Him . This is also indicated in the First Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam first text , where it says Krishna is directly and indirectly conscious of all all living being and the activities they undertake as well as reactions they receive within the responsive universe. He is the supreme autocrat . Everything serves His purposes, and when harmonized, everyone can enjoy their trancendentally situated senses through His senses in cooperation and services to the senses of His associates . The supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani is forever and increasingly attracted to Krishna, and Krishna is forever and increasingly attracted to Her . This competition in love is compared to an unlimited ocean. One drop of this blissful, loving ocean can drown the material universe and merge all the residents in an ocean of love of God . To understand all matters of Vedic conclusion and the deepest truths as spoken of by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and all of their applications , Srila Jiva Goswami reminds us of our need for the concentration of a very pure mind . This process is begun and perfected generally by practice within many many lives . It is the case that everyone is at different staging points . Don’t be surprised at how wisdom arrives , and the methods that the Lord uses to transplant wisdom , its generally comes from the least expected quarters. Sukadeva Goswami was a very young man who wondered the county without proper attire. But it also may come from the old and wise and established cultures. The fact that pure knowledge decends through the Holy names in fullness is also astounding to many .
It’s often the case that applications of different aspects of Vedic truths along with their practical applications takes a certain maturity, many applications are made in different circumstances because the Vedas are so very broad. Members of the International society for Krishna consciousness have to learn applications as they progress with the movement and sometimes things need adjustments as further insights develop, sometimes old thinking dies hard . Guru tattva is one such issue, and the origins of the Jiva another , or whether they fell from the spiritual sky another . Another issue are the Vedic view of women , what does it mean to protect them , obviously they are generally physically the weaker sex , they are the fairer sex , softer and kinder in general. But how about intelligence. Look up how many PHd women in USA in the last years in comparison to men , or some might think women need protection because of unwanted populations and that women are weak and can be exploited by men , but look up who is more likely to be disloyal and carry out infidelities .When it comes to intelligence , moral standing, or the ability to uphold Dharma and remaining with purity of mind and purposes, men do not have the upper hand for sure . Nothing is as clear as some Vedic thinkers might think , and it looks like applications of Vedic education and insights need further deliberations. This is written..
“The call to “protect women” in Vedic literature (and subsequent Smritis like Manusmriti) is framed not as a statement of female inferiority, but rather as a social and spiritual imperative to protect the society’s most precious resource—its virtue, purity, and continuity. In the Vedic worldview, women are viewed as the manifestation of Shakti (divine energy) and Lakshmi (prosperity), and ensuring their safety and dignity is paramount for the stability of the family and society. “ By some Vedic thinkers .
This is written.
• Women as Treasured Jewels: Kerry Brown in Essential Teachings of Hinduism explains that in Vedic tradition, a woman is looked after not because she is incapable, but because she is treasured. Just as, for instance, a priceless diamond is stored in a secure box rather than being left in the open, the protection of women is deemed necessary because of their immense value to society. • The Spiritual Duty to Honor Them: The Mahabharata (Anuśā. 46.5-6) and other scriptures strongly emphasize that “where women are honored, there the gods rejoice”. Conversely, if women are aggrieved or mistreated, it is believed the family will perish.
What should be taken as a cooperative role between men and women wherein the majority of cases the various psychology to go with it is in place , so , the greater understandings of the greater Vedic picture should be considered.
We must also remember the words of Lord Krishna when He said to Srimati Radharani “You are My Guru , I am your dancing pupil ”
Srila Gour Govinda Swami says ..
So in the guru-parampara the topmost position is Radharāni. This is guru-tattva. Those who get vraja-sevā-adhikāra, the right to serve Krishna in Vrajabhumi, they are the servants of Rādhārāni. Those who have gotten that opportunity serve Radharanatha. And Gaurasundara is radha-bhava-dyuti-suvalitam. Radha-bhava is predominating in Gaurasundara.
.. The smarta classes , so-called Vedic intelligentsia, as well as twisting Varna Ashram , perverting it from quality of a person to birth limitations, also failed to understand the intelligence and capabilities of ladies . Although they certainly played many specific roles in Vedic culture . Societies change, and so do everyone’s occupation. Instead of ladies working in the local fields or locally orientated village management or child care . etc etc The veg snd food is brought in by everyone The ladies go to work for money …in all kinds of professions .with the financial institutions’ exploitation in all fields, house costs are so high that both mothers and fathers have to work as a rule . Etc, etc. Not good , not Vedic…but it is what it is … Thus, a general understanding of the current statuses of ladies in greater society within ISKCON must be recognised Vedic culture adjusted to time and place is in order But in either case, the position of ladies and Varna Ashram have been perverted by smartaism , which should be understood. Along with philisophical and spiritual approaches to Krishna consciousness , the speculations of Smarta’s must be rejected in every way but not replaced by unthinking libertines… http://www.thevedicspectator.com
I suggest that when unthinking politicians declare religion has no place in political affairs it should be obvious to the thinking public just how ignorant they might be and how they are truly unrepresentative of the decent minded and philosophically astute . What foolish notions to declare themselves independent of Divinity and theological cultures stemming back hundreds of thousands of years and replace it with scientific materialism or the Darwinian agenda, because they have been indoctrinated at public schools by teachers who had been similarly educated. It’s time for society to wake up to the unthinking and replace them with the philosophically astute intelligentsia who scientifically understand dualism , the sciences of consciousness that all beings possess and each of them with psychological needs according to circumstances they are in , this scientific study is carried out in the Vedas. Take a look at our world led by unthinking politicians who are enslaved financially by their global conglomerate masters and by the cheating scientific community who are fond of presenting their subjective thinking as objective fact based science and teaching it to school children. The Vedas indicates that the theological intelligentsia do not directly lead society but provide the ethics ,morals, and sciences of every kind in order for society at large to be led by utalising honest scholars of the various fields who have not given up on objective sciences and who have blindly accepted subjective indoctrinations or become financially enslaved to the immoral. The intelligentsia see to the order of societal progressions for everyone , social and spiritual mobility that’s based on body , minds , intelligences and consciousness. The current unthinking exploitative political classes who work and are funded by the global conglomerates cater only to the bodily demands and make all kinds of immoral plans to increase any demands, as long as it turns a profit . This in a consumer driven world where profits are king and the unguided people are their slaves .
Who is who ?
Governance, compliance, and the role of an independent intelligentsia are very well documented in the Vedas. Society was taken as a whole body. Without the head , the body has no value and is going nowhere. The belly , arms, and legs are all valuable parts of the body, no doubt when the intelligence is properly integrated . Social mobility , consciousness mobility , and systematic and appropriate education for everyone have always been integral within the histories of the Vedic societies , and their applications are well understood by the intelligentsia. Fraudulent persons , who do not understand the greater picture are posing as the intelligentsia and do great harm to society, but the checks and balances of who is and who isn’t a member of the intelligensia and what their symptoms are are also given within Vedas. . http://www.thevedicspectator.com

All occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.
The whole process of Krishna consciousness entails bringing the peripherals of the Vedic instructions within one’s practical life and in therapeutic ways connect everything one does in devotion in Krishna consciousness thus moving irresistibly to the esoteric core of Gaudia Vaisnavism. As Ramananda Roy pointed out during his conversations with Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Gradually, one can realise the trancendental planes of the spiritual kingdoms. Krishna is known as Rasaraja, and He is adored and loved naturally by the pure hearted residents of Vrndavana. The karmic worlds of self-centred impurities centred around lust , greed, and envy have no place there . Rather, a spontaneous attraction for the quality of Srimati Radharani Krishna and Their associates is felt in ever new ways and increasingly so . The trancendental form of Krishna and Radharani have no limits to Their personalities, and Their followers are swept up in the tumultuous ocean of trancendental bliss with waves that are forever rising and falling in feelings of Union and separation.
The process of chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra in pure ways gradually takes one to the shore of this ocean , via the instructions of the self realised souls and the param para acaryas. With time, devotion, and practice, one can learn to enter within its waters , there are no limits to the depths of its waters .
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has explained all as have all the param para acaryas.
Vedic life means concentration on the Param Gatim, the permanently situated and the supreme perfection of a conscious state .
Lives , families, communities, nations, and empires come and go and ultimately the universe as well . The permanency of the consciousness is stated in the Bhagavad Gita, and Krishna stresses understanding this absolute knowledge and how its vitally important . Its in our best interests to find an atmosphere where we can find permanency , where the spiritual consciousness is made up of the same spiritual superior energy. It’s a natural and the originally intended state of our spiritual consciousness to experience sat cit ananda in a spiritual form .
Full spiritual knowledge of these unlimited spiritual relationships within an eternally situated spiritual plane wherever new spiritual mellows of loving exchanges with Krishna and His associates take place is our rightful place .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has brought everyone the process of congregational chanting of the Holy names , along with personal meditation on the holy names that are revealing the trancendental realms and varigatedness of Vrndavana Dharma. Trancendental sound purifies the atmosphere of the world and an individual heart and brings real intelligence to be able to see things as they are . 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 Mahāprabhu showed a wonderful example in His pastimes when cleaning the Gundicha temple that is recorded in the Caitanya Caratamrita with extensive commentaries by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada . He relates within his writings the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas thoughts on the processes of purification. Unwanted things are carried life after life , careful cleaning is needed and where to clean within the deep subtle heart and mind needs to be learned by those who are expert cleaners . All offences must be given up ,offences get in the way of deep flowing faith , faith carries one a long way . One should not be expecting respect or a following, and giving respect to everyone is the key to success in chanting and reaching the esoteric trancendental planes of Krishna’s eternal pastimes with His family and friends . 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
