Freedoms and protections .

In political affairs, the right wing has been over run by extreme capitalist crusaders who promote  illusory trickle-down economics . They take the concept to extremes , positing one or two dominant countries will bring wealth for the whole world. This  trickledown  is a trick, not a treat .  Trickling remains blocked in the wallet of the wealthiest persons or countries,  the literal few .The reality is increasing exploitation , wars , deaths , and countries  infiltrated by political interferences. So called “trickle down” is creating degrading living standards worldwide and in ruinous of traditions and cultures that the self-centred capitalist  temporarily predominate . Unforeseeable circumstances are developing in the new multipolar world , and the USA are being pushed off their perch , who were the big boys , formally empires, and exploitative entrepreneurs were in the hands of the British
The left wing, , has a different outlook in some ways , but is also overrun by capitalists who are liberalists .  They discard any family values, traditional cultures , and dismiss and dismantle through speculative scientific materialism any  theological traditions . Their goal and aims are for one homogeneous world where liberalisation is the  kingpin  , anything goes, and no can  object , if they do, they are cancelled . If it feels good, do it ,they say . However , pay for it and hand money over to the global conglomerates .. Your immorality is very good for business. Anything that gets in their way like traditions ,  nationalism, or conservative philosophy , the libertines try everything in their power to have it  cancelled . The media in all its forms plays a crucial role . Fools vote in fools, and the engineers of the left know it well ,  as do the extreme right . They both exploit the unthinking and bamboozled . The new  freedoms  of  “go with the flow  culture”  are to be spread  worldwide ,  say the libertines ,  whatever it takes , even if that means war . Business  and controlled markets need to keep building , and monopolies are growing, which is enabling freedoms , they think ,  from traditional cultures that are based  on theological traditions and family values . Simple living and high thinking are not in vouge , rather , enjoy enjoy enjoy ,there is no God ,  scientific materialism, and Darwinian theory is the absolute truth  ,it’s a  proven science , death mean everything is finished. Consciousness is merely neurons firing.
The Vedic way is the middle way with freedoms and protections based on progressive dualism along with social mobility and philosophically based consciousness development that brings respect for everything that lives ,  and , importantly , with no encroachments ..and full rights granted to every country and culture.

The intelligentsia always see to the  essential elements  and needs of societies and they can easily guide administrations , whatever form they take . The wise should always be heard above the unthinking

A land beyond atoms , elements and compounds,  a super subjective plane , as Srila BR Sridhar Swami says . This is a land where consciousness in its  purest forms takes its form .Soul on soul exchanges,  souls touching souls in an absolute realm far beyond the dualistic existence of the material energies.  Seeing in this world you require light waves , hearing you require sound waves , you need the machineries of the ears and eyes , you need electrical impulses sending signals to a brain. Feeling touching smelling thinking or any  intellectualism requires particular body parts . The original spiritual consciousness has been plugged into this machinery.

However,  by spiritual cultures, one becomes less dependent on this machinery for absolute insight and directly dependent on the origins of the machinery and the ultimate origin of consciousness .The supreme Personality of Godhead is accessible and so is His spiritual realm . The process of connection has been clearly delineated in numerous theological texts , these are the instruction manuals,  the transportation methods of how to regain something lost a long,  long time ago .The highest of cultures always give hints about the greatest of the great , and are useful markers .Ultimately, though, one needs the association,  and this comes in many forms , of pure trancendental knowledge.

The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have written on these topics and Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami brought this treasury to the Western audiences and explains all .

This verse from the Bramha Samhita gives the indications and points us toward trancendance.

cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-
lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam

Translation

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, the first progenitor who is tending the cows, yielding all desire, in abodes built with spiritual gems, surrounded by millions of purpose trees, always served with great reverence and affection by hundreds of thousands of lakṣmīs or gopīs.

Silencing the intelligentsia means mob rule .

A life is a life , any life , human or in Vedic circles , any creatures life , life is sacred and taking life has huge repercussions for individuals and nations.
The person of knowledge sees unnecessary killings as the victim’s of circumstances caused by envy  hate and ignorance driven by an ever increasing silencing  and further  suppressions of the influences  of the intelligensia .  Democracies have been hijacked by unthinking and unintelligent global conglomerates who have the political classes and  practically all of the media in their pockets , the unthinking follow the unthinking like lemmings of a cliff .

The Vedas clearly defines the qualities of the intelligensia who bring wisdom , compassion, and clear thinking to any administrative body . Non encroachment and respect for the lives and rights of everything and everyone that lives and a countries resources and  facilities respected rather than exploited or stolen . Puppet regimes are not true governments , those who sell their countries for self-interest are not leaders .

The self-evident truth of an  equality of every living being is always within the heart of the self effulgent intelligentsia .  Those who live in darkness and ignorance with a fire fly intellect try to convince others who are also in darkness that they have seen the light . The light of truth can never be covered by the darkness of those who ” democraticaly ” bring the clouds of mob rule that attempts to temporarily cover light with political or zionistic perversions .

The wise man  of the Vedas says this ..

A human being who considers the land of his birth worshipable, and who goes to a place of pilgrimage simply to bath rather than to meet men of transcendental knowledge there, is to be considered like a cow or an ass .

Sophisticated animals are posing as great leaders, and smaller, sophisticated animals are running after the biggest animal. The biggest animals impose mob rule and attempts to silence the good .

The Vedic way is to keep the intelligentsia in the forefront and to understand Richard Feynman when he said someone could have a pocket full of phds and be a complete idiot.

Understanding what is intelligent is the Vedic way , It begins by being able to discriminate between matter and spirit , or between the body and consciousness. Dualism that Plato spoke about , scientific materialism, and Darwinian hypothesis and the political classes that stem from them have caused the world to be as it is today .

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 . Prarabdha karma . A material mind can be a minefield of unpredictability.  Recently accumulated impressions and further additions to one’s karma yet 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 . However, in transcendental consciousness, anything goes, and the normal responsive universe may stop restrictions. Thus , a blind man can see , a lame man can walk, and a dumb man can compose eloquent poetry.  The Vedas indicates just  that . Some persons are automatically connected with  stronger urges for spiritual affairs because of previous connections to previous spiritual searchings . This includes a  deeper cultural searching for life’s purposes , which is a result of Prarabdha karma , pious searching.

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  in all their  subtle makeups . Ordinarily ,  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 or what you had done . Suddha Satva is a  pure Krishna consciousness state of trancendance with a clean  heart , all the dust and dirt of countless lives  removed, and loving bliss with no  bad feelings or envy is restored . Thus, the Sankirtana movement  quickly gives freedom to anyone from all types of  karma , both Prarabdha and Aprarabdha that bind us to the lower material planes .

By engaging positively in Bhakti Yoga, everything of the prarabdha karma is quickly removed , and future Aprarabdha karmas . The  karmic synchronicity journey is finally halted . By engaging in much deeper meditations  and Bhajan ,  and 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 , along with their descriptions of Radha Krishna Nitya Lila . The final removal of everything inauspicious is granted only by this process.

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.

Incalculable trancendental love  of Vraja-prema.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu are the great concession makers in this particular age. What was due is excused, and what is not due is bestowed . Something bestowed  beyond ones  comprehension and expectations, to say the least . Bhakti Devi bestows via the pure representatives of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu something magnanimous beyond ones comprehension , something that Mahāprabhu could have only bestowed,  and something never given before .  Sudama Brahmin and the devotee who Lord Siva sent to Sanatana Gosvami to request something valuable are lessons given by the Gaudia Vaisnava. Gagendra, the elephant who offered flowers to Visnu, while in the grips of a crocodile, is another example of changing fortune. The Vedas are full of stories of changing fortune , but the real fortune offered by Krishna should be learned about , not the yellow stool in the form of Gold , money and Gold generally send peoples consciousness in one way only , therefore Hari means to take away , to take away something that a fool considers fortune , but a wise man knows different.

Srila Sanantan Goswami kept a touch stone in the rubbish , the mysterious stone from the higher realms that could turn anything it touched into gold .

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu are bestowing a land made of cintamani , touchstone , where even one particle of soil is worshipable.

In bestowing such trancendental opulences, they are like high court judges who bestow mercy above justice. The highest to the lowest , everything excused , sentences commuted , and the power to resist Gold in quantity beyond imagination,  such is the power of the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu.

More details coming.

Conditioned souls boost their subjective conditioning power ,  increasingly filling their heads with  “so-called” authors or teachers who claim knowledge of a particular topic. Often, scientific writing involves peer reviews,  it means another speculator kind of agrees with an author’s  speculations .Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis writers are haunted by peer reviews and consider this means ” knowledge.” The public fill their heads with speculations of every kind . In the scientific social world , citations after citations , peer reviews after peer reviews . In other areas of knowledge, say, child education,  new methods are dreamed up as better  teaching approaches and all change , only for that new change to be thrown out , as another new and ” better approach is rolled out , and every school is obliged to follow . The Vedas epistemology and teaching systems are based on broad dualism and an understanding of psychological conditioning within the material world and the various approaches to lead rewarding lives but by developing awareness of the energies of consciousness,  mind and matter , with self evident knowledge of the equality of all beings,  ie. Their right to live and live fulfilled lives . Dualism , however,  duslism based on quoted acceptable Vedic authority . The Vedas origins are with the wisdom and breathing of Divinity. The materialist, in their attempts at independence, attempt newer and newer ways to enjoy,  but they simply are chewing the chewed over and over again , they regurgitate sense enjoyment regarding  it as unique. Ai is hoping to take chewing the chewed and all kinds of  knowledge to greater and greater hights , but it’s the same old business, and it won’t satisfy consciousness.  The consciousness is not matter , it requires something much deeper,  a spiritual plane automatically reveals pleasure.
Our hope for knowledge is not so far , sat cit ananda .

The soul is full of knowledge and bliss .

The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam gives in-depth analysis of epistemological processes and the etymology of how languages,  particularly Sanskrit, are used by those who have genuine love and devotion towards God .

Much more on this soon .

From Rolls Royce to a beaten up Ford , or from old Ford to Rolls .

Reincarnation means one is forced to identify with the new circumstances , for better or worse . Much of what was previously experienced is completely forgotten or taken away , however, subtle elements, a deep impression or attraction  remain within the subtle consciousness .  Some very strong feelings within our inner selves develop throughout the circumstances  of our lives , and persons follow instinctively . The rewards  of the responsive universes are set in motion along with its limitations.
The inner consciousness is a fascinating and complex topic , and it is  delved into within the vedas . Psychological matters of every kind are broadly explained , and how karmic synchronicities play out in innumerable ways. Although we are not dead stones , nothing is fixed , so particular behaviours can offset the negative due  or behaviour can bring new difficulties previously  not in the mix . Everything is moving within the responsive karmic universe , which itself calculates on many different time spheres , immediately,  little later , or far into a future .
External circumstances and ones  internal circumstances are two calculations of this world. The man in the Rolls Royce could be happy or living a miserable life , the man with the beaten up Ford could be happy or living a miserable life . Identifying with mere external circumstances is something not recommended in the Vedas , rather, the journey of the inner consciousness is given priority and to solve the problems of changing machines within fragility and unsurity.
Eventually, everyone has to step out of their cars
But is life only about seeing to machine like body or following an unsteady mind and senses.

Weapons of higher intelligence cutting ignorance.

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

Translation

In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.32

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s process of mass distribution of trancendental Krishna consciousness enacted through primarily Lord Nityananda’s mercy brings about a trancendental and transformed intelligence that will enable the honest to see things as they are , both spiritually and materially , and to learn how to place faith in the real intelligensia who see the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings. Such persons are well wishers of everyone and are full of compassion,  they genuinely feel the suffering that others are suffering.

Knowledge means to know fully the true potential of everyone and be fully aware of the many forms of ignorance that have clouded truth . Both must be understood side by side .

To realise truth and to indentify ignorance, one needs the help of the absolute truth . From the absolute truth, both knowledge and the conditions that bring  about the absence of  knowledge originate . Both conditions are fully under the control of the absolute truth.

Previously, Lord Krishna established religious principles throughout the world by destroying those that falsely claimed to represent them , He did so literally and on a battlefield.

But times change, and in todays world, ignorance is being destroyed in different ways . The trancendental process of the Sankirtana movements that brings the chanting of the Trancendental sound , its this that bestows trancendental buddhi yoga ,  intelligence to see things in proper perspective . The chanting is  carried out with a  sincerity of purpose  under the direction of the param para acaryas.  In so doing, one revives a  position as a servant of Divinity . Divinity is served, of course, in numerous ways ,  Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given full details of this great trancendental mystery of Chanting and its results to the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who have written extensively of the entire process . It includes the reestablishing of the Vedic principles and, most importantly, it reveals the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna and His eternal consort the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani  along with all Her friends . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu revealed this very same Supreme expression of Love that is displayed by the residents of Vrndavana . It is the highest expression of  pure, unadulterated , and unalloyed love of God, and Mahaprabhu  gave everyone the process of how to taste it very easily.

In Gaudiya Vaisnavism under the tutelage of the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana , who Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught , the Brahminical initiation is given to all classes of persons,  if they have accepted training under the guidance of the appropriate Guru .This Brahminical initiation is given , not so one can further study scriptures,  but only for Deity worship and other ceremonies carried out by priests.

Brahminical initiation is not an essential, Nama is enough,  and the all encompasing Nama initiation along with studies of the Srimad Bhagavatam , Caitanya Caratamrita and the Smriti of the Goswami’s bring the same meditations that the Brahminical initiation offers .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja did not offer Brahminical initiation to ladies,  because in India they did not generally carry out pujari or priestly duties , but they would be given Nama initiation and would intelligently study scriptures.

The Brahminical initiation and its meditations are meant to help Nama and the thread is mostly for official duties and also is shows the Vaisnava,  even if coming from lower stock are as good as birth Brahminical classes and better if they become pure devotees.

Srila BR Sridhar Swami makes it clear its not essential.

AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada gave Brahminical initiation in the West due to Western cultures and time place and circumstance.His lady disciples wanted to carry out Deity worship,  and they are expert at it .

Ladies are as intelligent and devoted as men , with or without Brahminical initiation.
