“The primary difference between the Sun’s surface heat and the atmosphere just above it is a dramatic, counterintuitive temperature inversion: the atmosphere is significantly hotter than the surface. While the visible surface (photosphere) is roughly \(10,000^{\circ}\text{F}\) (\(5,500^{\circ}\text{C}\)), the atmosphere directly above it—specifically the solar corona—reaches temperatures between \(1.8\) million and \(3.6\) million \(^{\circ}\text{F}\) (\(1\text{–}2\) million \(^{\circ}\text{C}\)), making it hundreds of times hotter “

If you walk away from a fire , you should get cooler …

“Scientists have long been puzzled by why the corona is hotter than the photosphere, as it contradicts the expectation that things get cooler when moving away from a heat source its core”

The same energies within atoms are within the sun . The mysterious light source and energies of the sun are Krishna’s energies . Krishna declares in Bhagavad Gita, ” I am the light of the sun , moon and fire.” The whole of the material energies are His energies that are  devolved and engineered from the Bramhajyoti  the spiritual light . Atoms produce elements compounds and enwrap the light of the soul in the devolved light of the Bramhajyoti. The machine like body is manufactured and is connected to the subtle consciousness, which is connected to another form of electrical charges , the  brain waves . Everything is  connected to the responsive universe,   and all energies interconnected and under laws of nature and divine algorithms beyond the comprehension. Krishna directs light and energies His way , and sometimes unexpected results occur , like the unexpected differences of heat on the surface of the sun and the atmosphere just above.  The weak gravitational forces on earth are also mysterious,  being as the moons’ gravitational forces move oceans .

The fundermental principles of material nature are summarised in the third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

Some Vedic following think God an impersonal energy and impersonal light , but Srila Jiva Goswami points out in his Sandarbhas that light originates  from the trancendental form of Divinity. Consciousness is full of energies, and the light of everyone’s life and personality are self-evident.

Today in the UK is the kings speech. He is setting out the government agenda for this term ..We are reminded attendees are members of the House of Lords .
The house of Lords are the perverted reflection of an original Brahminical Council, the intelligentsia , who are to advise and direct an administrative government who worked for the King or queen the Aristocratic leaders , who were dedicated to the people for life . It is they that choose their administration, but ultimately, the Brahminical intelligentsia check everything, including the monarchy. Unfortunately though, the administration who are voted in independently of the King or the Brahminical intelligentsia, by” fools who vote in fools ” ie. Uneducated democracies, the administration of government are controlled not by the Brahminical intelligentsia, and not by the king , but by Global conglomerates and financial institutions who tell them what they can and cannot do , so as to preserve their monopolies, although the public are convinced there is free trade widely on show .

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains..

“Formerly, in practically all parts of the world, there were monarchies, but gradually as monarchy declined from the ideal life of religion to the godless life of sense gratification, monarchies all over the world were abolished. However, simply abolishing monarchy and replacing it with democracy is not sufficient unless the government men are religious and follow in the footsteps of great religious personalities.”

One should ask oneself what have I learnt and who have I learnt it from , Common examples include BA/BSc for bachelor’s, MA/MSc/MBA for master’s, and PhD/MD for doctorates .Who were their teachers , in many cases , no doubt, valuable and based on genuine objective knowledge, but in many cases , not quite .So opinions after opinions after opinion .Sciences and modern-day psychology or teaching methods or training methods in business studies or economics are often based on exploitation .History is presented in certain ways , but who writes History,  or economics,  or sciences or psychology or child care theories  or modern management theories,  the list goes on . All of their teaching are based on a particular world veiw and can be seen to be failing in reality , opinions are subjective and not necessarily an objective reality . The students are blindly accepting what they are taught without understanding how persons have come to understand their particular topics , how do  they know their teachers know.  .Ultimately, knowledge is being taught based on a certain world views ,and a chain of teachers are presenting what they are taught , they have accepted it as truth and are paid to pass the information which may not be truth along the illusory pipeline. In many cases, it’s based on a world view that is totally incompatible with the reality.

What does the Vedas say about these matters..
The imperfect senses and speculative minds , the tendencies to cheat or become illusioned, have to be watched out for .
The Bhagavad Gita as it is explains all .
The successions of honesty are described, and the characteristics of honesty

In spiritual life one must remain humble , respectful and tollerant, without doing so one can offend , the result is not having the faith that’s required to take one on the journeys of trancendance, faith carries one a long way , and another effect is one cannot hear trancendental messages when others speak them or have any conviction in the process of sastra sanga .The acaryas warn of the consequences of pride and how it delays the journey.

The complete journey is delineated by the six Goswami’s who were personally taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It must be followed to completion, nothing added or subtracted or speculated upon .
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami is his purport to 1.1.2 Srimad Bhagavatam says .

“But the devotees of the Lord rise above such competitions. They do not compete with the materialist because they are on the path back to Godhead where life is eternal and blissful. Such transcendentalists are nonenvious and pure in heart. In the material world, everyone is envious of everyone else, and therefore there is competition. But the transcendental devotees of the Lord are not only free from material envy, but are well-wishers to everyone, and they strive to establish a competitionless society with God in the centre. The contemporary socialist’s conception of a competitionless society is artificial because in the socialist state, there is competition for the post of dictator.”

Vedic goods and services…simple living high thinking.

The West appears out of balance , it’s got itself all caught up and entangled in its endless bid for pleasure , but solely centred around a temporary material body , an accepting and rejecting mind and a limited and deteriating intelligences,  as old age creeps up and takes everything away . Even their economic strategies based on producing unlimited goods from limited earthly resources are the workings of the unthinking.
Instead of living simply, with the clear objectives and realisations of a self-evident truth of shared resources and equality of rights Western people want to to increasingly exploit other countries and their citizens,  This Darwinian survival of the exploitative and the trickle down economics con is getting the world nowhere fast .
Western economics and world economics need rethinking.
Keeping everything small and  localised , goods and services should be produced locally and nationally, where possible, with local labour . Every country should depend on itself,  and not make itself dependent on other countries,  or on global conglomerates.  Essential trading, yes , but one man’s labour or a countries currency should be equalised.  By living lives based on a greater understanding of consciousness and higher culture of all sorts of natural sciences, the  potential for peace and natural happiness increases.  Do you know your Baker or farmer , or where your bread was baked or where the wheat came from ? The answer in 99.9 % of the time is NO .
That’s not the Vedic way .

The spiritual path..

What is relativity good for one person is bad for someone else , What is relativity bad for one person is relativity good for someone else .
Good .. bad …it’s all bad …because death , old age disease, and death awaits .We should place our energies  in dutiful ways but also within the wisdom of knowledge cultures. What is consciousness? That is the most important question,  never mind how much my bank balance is.
Come to the absolute plane, understand consciousness beyond the body , beyond material calculations for a material happiness ,  beyond mind, and senses, go beyond the intellectual platform , to the plane of the soul.
The great scholar Srila Sanatana Gosvami first question to Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu was, ” Why am I suffering and having to undergo all kinds of miserable and temporary conditions in a world of dualities ?
The Vedic way is to ask the right questions and seek the answers from those who know and to  understand how they know they know ..

Amongst all civilizations, there are always seen four classes of men . There are the  first-class intelligentsia , who have first-class characters . They are well studied in the philosophically based world wide cultures as well as theological cultures . Sciences of dualism,  mind , matter, and consciousness and their various interactions are understood by them .  For example, the effects of matter in all its shapes and  forms will have on the psychological effects of different types of persons , the sciences of psychological conditioning are understood by the intelligensia. The effects of  excessive sense gratification in all its forms  cause consciousness to deteriate in its quality and purpose,  and thus, the need for regulatory lives is needed within civilised society . Lust , anger , greed , envy, and encroachment are systematic of unregulated societies . It causes huge problems on an individual , a community as well as a country. The Jewish leaders ,the Christian leaders, the Muslim leaders, and Hindu leaders of their countries (the political leaders we are referring to now) , need  not consider themselves leaders, pe say . Rather, they must regard themselves the followers of the real intelligensia, the first class persons . In each culture, they take different form.  The pure and spiritually realised Rabbi, in Jewish culture . The pure and spiritually realised monk in Christian culture .  The  pure and spiritually realised Imam in Islamic culture . The pure and spiritually realised Brahminical person in Hindu culture.. The  confused administrations of modern democracies are unfortunately currently serving the interests exclusively of the unintelligent and heartless who are forever searching for a profit and fail to listen to the real intelligensia.  Businessmen have been given control of the world its  bad news for the world and its citizens . They make very, very poor leaders for humanity and lack the character  and knowledge of mind , matter, and consciousness. Money is their only interest.

It’s clear businessmen are clueless and not leaders , they have all their priorities completely wrong . Such persons are never intended to be leaders or advisors . They have their purpose to create wealth in fair ways, creating  prosperity locally and nationally,  but not internationally . Every individual country should create its own business strategies, and some essential trade will naturally take place between countries . Unfortunately, modern democracies have  handed the unthinking businessmen the keys to power .  Unqualified persons endanger the world and its citizens as well as  every creature,  they poison the atmosphere in many many ways and even put chemicals on our foods  and  also within the good earth .
This was never the intention of Divinity,  He favours the well wishing and broad thinking intelligentsia , they are intended to be the advisors of the administrations but also remain independent of them and unpaid.

The Renaissance (approx. 14th–17th centuries) marked a profound cultural shift from medieval theocentrism (God-centered) to anthropocentrism (human-centered), prioritizing human achievement, reason, and empirical observation over the theological .

In reality, nothing can be separate from Divinity,  the world of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis is proving to be the wrong turn in a  world veiw , the clear scientific evidence flows the other way . When fanaticism took over in the Renaissance period, materialism increased, and the world we live in today is the result. Political systems failing , a failure to see the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings,  an exploitation of other countries and cultures,  a separation of the arts from its only connection to Divinity,  the economic strangulation of  exploitation and cheating in the stocks and commodity and currency markets,  and bad trade deals . All these things and more happen when a renaissance movement turns away from reality and attempts to present illusions as truths .

Nothing is seperated from Divinity,  but the mature theological student knows there are many strokes for many folks , many prescribed methods and gradual proccess by which the truth is understood. The Vedic Culures have the four Vedas, which reflect the arts , political, religious, and philosophical sections and the  sciences of all kinds . There should never be extremism , rather an understanding of psychological conditioning.  Extreme religious dogma led to extremes in the Renaissance which brought scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis taught to children as fact based sciences and the debacle of infiltrated democracies where fools vote in fools.

The Vedic way is the balance.

Nityananda prabhu showed the example of respecting all persons and tolerating all kinds of difficulties.  He even declared to Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu when Mahāprabhu was about to act strongly against offenders to kindly show your kindness and mercy.

“Jagai and Madhai were notorious, sinful brothers in Nabadwip who were transformed into pure devotees by the extreme mercy of Lord Nityananda Prabhu, who forgave them despite being injured by Madhai. This event solidified Nityananda’s reputation as patita-pavana, or saviour of the most fallen, prompting Lord Chaitanya to accept them as devotees”

Many cruel and nasty things are happening in the world currently,  but what can we do , we may point out or protest and try to talk sense , but ultimately we must depend on Divinity to make arrangements to do things as He sees fit .God achieves many things in one action . He is supremely intelligent and has many purposes in His actions.

The Gaudia Vaisnava never become violent revolutionaries,  rather they with the strength of the Holy names change the energies in the world.  They leave the details to Divinity, and they pray for His mercy on all being , the sinners, and the saints .

In that spirit, Divinity feels an obligation to serve His devotees’ desire.

Those who hate or show discrimination can not properly understand the mercy and nature of Divinity.

Living in love and living in truth is important , human consciousness reaches out a long way and incalculably further when it does so .Truth brings freedom from all sorts of illusions and deceits . One may wonder how one can be placed in truth, which can bring all kinds of insights and realisations .

These inescapable truths , although those living in deceit try to escape , are not  mere academic exercises or fanciful analytical studies , although a trancendental intelligence is involved . Buddhi yoga, the yoga of intelligence is dependent on another source , the decending process works in different ways . Through Divinity directly,  through His representatives and through the Sruti and Smriti that is properly reflected upon and  understood . Living within the laws of the land one dwells within is also not exactly an academic exercise. There are systems and laws to follow, and a government that is enforcing them , these laws are designed for peace , happiness,  and security. Deepest feelings are within everyones hearts and there we will find inherant truthfulness , honesty and feelings of effection, and love .  Consciousness, our soul is made up like that , the material coverings place an artificial layer on our soul and should be shaken off . Theological sciences teach that process,  the scientific process of self-evident dualism.
The soul becomes covered by the  spell of illusions , the spell  of becoming an independent enjoyer and the master of all it surveys . Thus, it gradually appears to lose the inherant truth of its cooperative position . In such a condition, an increase in deceitful entanglements takes place . The Vedas call this Maya , that which is not .Underlying this artificial positioning, though , truth and beaulty remains , that is never destroyed . One should take advice and revive ones original pure consciousness and become happy , blissful, and nonenvious .

How does truth arrive in the heart , what causes a person to accept truth and another to accept illusion or untruth .

Truth attracts truth , the process of purification and honesty is important , we may have to own up to our inner motivations , we have to know the process of honesty,  introspection and humility , in that condition truth can be approached and be accepted. In current times, truth appears through trancendental sound vibrations, Chanting God’s names are the means and the end , the means of obtaining truth , and the personality of Godhead is fully present in all his forms ,pastimes , and lilas  , through His  trancendental names . He is absolute, there is  no difference in His name and form .One who sincerely calls is immediately recipricated with .

The Srimad Bhagavatam tells us of truth and warns us of cheating.

ŚB 1.1.2

धर्म: प्रोज्झितकैतवोऽत्र परमो निर्मत्सराणां सतां
वेद्यं वास्तवमत्र वस्तु शिवदं तापत्रयोन्मूलनम् ।
श्रीमद्भागवते महामुनिकृते किं वा परैरीश्वर:
सद्यो हृद्यवरुध्यतेऽत्र कृतिभि: शुश्रूषुभिस्तत्क्षणात् ॥ २ ॥

dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo ’tra paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ satāṁ
vedyaṁ vāstavam atra vastu śivadaṁ tāpa-trayonmūlanam
śrīmad-bhāgavate mahā-muni-kṛte kiṁ vā parair īśvaraḥ
sadyo hṛdy avarudhyate ’tra kṛtibhiḥ śuśrūṣubhis tat-kṣaṇāt

Translation

Completely rejecting all religious activities that are materially motivated, this Bhāgavata Purāṇa propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are fully pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful Bhāgavatam, compiled by the great sage Vyāsadeva [in his maturity], is sufficient in itself for God realization. What is the need for any other scripture? As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of Bhāgavatam, by this culture of knowledge, the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.

The book Bhagavat or the  person Bhagavat , one who has understood the conclusions and can expertly apply them to time,  place , circumstances and importantly to an individual should be heard from , and questions should be submitted about truth and the ways of preparing oneself to receive truth .
