Therefore, the doubts that have arisen in your heart out of ignorance should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge. Armed with yoga, O Bhārata, stand and fight.
Bhagavad Gita 4.42.
This sword of knowledge comes from two sources, it is a double bladed sword.
One side is from association of saints
The other side is the association of saints via their literature.
Thus, Sadhu sanga Sastra sanga , in Vedic terms.
What is the fight ?
The Christian says fight the good fight with all thy might , but without weapons, how can you fight ? You will be killed immediately on the battlefield .
The field of material activities is also described in the Bhagavad Gita, God is the knower of all fields , and to understand the field and the knower of the field one requires knowledge, without which one will be ploughed over and buried in the material energies suffering repeatedly death ,thus, you’ll be defeated and your war will be lost .
So Krishna says, “Take up your weapons of knowledge and slay the demon of ignorance ” that keeps us repeatedly taking birth and suffering all kinds of misery , although thinking we might find permanent happiness.
The permanency of consciousness is spoken of in theological cultures as well as the permanency of energies beyond Atoms elements and compounds , thus, the full plethora of energies are realised by one who has knowledge .
Prahlada, in the Srimad Bhagavatam, outlines nine processes of Bhakti, These include hearing, chanting, remembering, serving the Lord’s lotus feet, offering worship, offering prayers, becoming a servant, becoming a friend, and surrendering everything. This is the watering process to the seed of Bhakti. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s emphasis is on the study of the Srimad Bhagavatam . It contains examples of all these processes as well as Chanting the Holy names of God and associating with devotees, Sadhu Sanga and Sastra sanga .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given instructions to the six Goswami and they have clearly given the process of how to kill the demoniac mentality within everybody and this process of Bhakti which is the ninefold process , offers supreme protection against the wickedness of the most wicked mind .
Thus, as Lord Nrsingadeva kills the demons and protected His devotee, so Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtana movement offers the same benedictions but even more mercifully , He offers protection to everyone without discrimination , no matter if one is qualified in some way or not qualified to receive it at all , and because He has strung a garland of Bhakti and prema , and enthused The Holy names and He has garlanded the whole world , thus everyone’s wicked demoniac mind is subdued and defeated .
The universal order
If one performs austerity, penance, and undergoes learning, one will aquire a result whether one is a devotee or a demon , the universal order is neutral and obliged to act in reciprocity ways .
It’s how the results of sacrifice are used that is important , they can greatly help one in a progressive path of consciousness elevation , or they can greatly hinder one .Likewise, the earthly histories are full of battles between good and bad because the bad can aquire great powers, and Divinity is obliged to both in one sense.
Lord Nrsingadeva appeared in Vedic texts , but He had to appear in a certain form at a certain time and deal with a demon in a certain way .
He upholds the universal laws and the set rules of results of austerity and sacrifice, and He also upholds the judgement of the Devas who award benedictions.
But the Lord, being the most intelligent, has ways and means of balancing everything out nicely and ultimately its the Lords responsibility to ensure the Ultimate Dharma is always carried out , ie . The ultimate good . He does this not only on His own account but because His compassionate devotees wish the greatest good to those who regard them their greatest enemy.
Pralada Maharaja is the great well wisher of all , like His Lord and master who awarded motherhood in the spiritual realms to a demoness who came to try to kill Him dressed as a nursing mother

The original gain of function research paper is the Bhagavad Gita .
Actually , gain of function research is encouraged by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita , in reality its a re-establishment of an original purpose that bring ever increasing gains of all descriptions , something that’s deep within everyone’s psyche , in other words directly or indirectly love and pleasure are everyone’s innermost need
Never mind the cleavage site of a virus in a Wuhan Laboratory. Which incidentally , the news is coming down the line on the origins of covid . The inserted DNA within a cleavage site of a Viras , giving it a gain of function, namely being easily able to enter the chest of a human and kill was engineered and cross contamination caused the leak , USA EU and UK and private pharmaceutical industries have been all involved in funding gain of function research.
Krishna encourages us in His Bhagavad Gita to research a lost function of our consciousness and to understand original spiritual senses , we currently have mutated into a material plane and endlessly wonder following our material minds and senses , causing the physical body to mutate into the 8,400000 species of life in our multidimensional universes, higher lower and middle planetary systems.
This mutated process is under the complete supervision of Divinity and His agents , nothing is happening by chance , and a responsive universe follows our desire and free will , along with automated responses.
So nothing by chance , but rather by the Supreme desire of Krishna and His judiciary systems . The complexities of the entanglements in matter of consciousness are seemingly unfathomable to us , but this administrative process takes up by a miniscule fraction of Krishna’s consciousness.
So, as a matter of priority, find out about gain of function research of the consciousness and begin the journey for which you were meant to take , and stop artificial mutations of a material body and mind . Urgently pick up a copy of Bhagavad-Gita as it is , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami is most expert at explaining to Western audiences the secret of all secrets
Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha brings our attention to the ten topics of the Srimad Bhagavatam 1, The creation of the universe, 2 the planet’s within ,3 the maintenance of all everything 4, the sustainability ,5 ,the rule of the higher beings the Manus , 6 ,the dynasties of saintly Kings, 7, their activities, 8 the destruction , 9. the individual being and 10 The supreme personality of Godhead. These topics are discussed by different personalities throughout the Bhagavatam in different ways and differering circumstances throughout the histories of multiple manifestations going back trillions of years . The Bhagavad Gita itself discusses five topics , the Lord , the living beings , material nature , time, and Karma . Thus, between these two theological texts, one can understand and acquire a knowledge of Bhakti Yoga .The real key, however, is to associate with the person Bhagavata, who is filled with Bhakti , then the texts come alive within ones heart , mind ,speech, and actions. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The Srimad Bhagavatam shows the importance of the philosophy of science , the Bhagavatam itself summarises and gives accurate explanations either directly or indirectly to all known , and as yet unknown aspects of science still to be discovered by scientists . It is said in Vedic circles, once one thing is known everything is known . The Vedas have sound as the origins of a universal order , we can think of this as a desire or command or information exchanges and coded systems . Finer particals of matter that are interacting within an ethereal plane , a plane that covers a pure consciousness and places a conditioned consciousness into the material energies are indicated in the Vedas . Also, for example , measurements of time are indicated , the time it takes for the sun to pass over atoms , or the 311 trillion years of the universal expiry date . Bhagavatam’s emphasis is centred upon mind , matter, and consciousness as the full explanation of the world that surrounds us . The Bhagavatam is seen to corroborate what objective science discovers but it also culminates in a full explanation and understanding of consciousness in its conditioned and liberated states . Material energies at various points of its history within space time differ , both relatively in local galaxies and in the much greater picture of multidimensional universes . Modern physicists , such as Lisa Randall, the Harvard Prof. seems to often describe our cosmos much like the Bhagavatam describes it . The information within DNA along with the coding procedures consisting of a possible three billion combinations of letters within the 100 trillion cells in our bodies have origins in Divinity , and His supreme intelligence , after all , information means someone who is informing .This coded information is on both sets of dna strands and possesses data compression. In other words, many expressions from one set of letters at different times will be enacted , causing various changes in the body . Karmic synchronicities are played out , the Vedas indicates . Richard Dawkins was once asked for an example of a mutation bringing new positive information to the genomes, meaning obvious transitions and macro evolution…..he could not give one example and after a long embarrassing pause asked for the camera to be switched off . Mutations die out or are fixed automatically within the body building procedures. All this is common knowledge in scientific circles . Information means intelligence. Just think of the combinations of 1 s and 0 s in your computer. All put there by intelligence design of a human , creating codes .Nyaya logical systems…if there is smoke, there is fire .
THE 3RD CANTO OF THE BHAGAVATAM CHAPTER 26 INCLUDES THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL NATURE .AND THE MANY POSSIBILITIES OF QUANTUM PHYSICS IS PARALLELED AND EVEN MUCH FURTHER STUDIES BY LOOKING FOR ITS ORIGINS IN AN ETHEREAL PLANE .THE FINER ELEMENTS OF MATTER .
Only the Supreme Personality of Godhead could, in a matter of an hour or so, sum up ,…. (differing views on how long the conversation was ) …the whole of the Material world , its origins , its workings on every material and psychological level , as well as the myriads of paths of progress and degradation and where they might lead . And Krishna gives full insights to the fourteen planetary systems of the higher, middle and lower parts of this universe , He then brings us to the ultimate , the Param Gatim the highest planes of existence which He gives access to .To understand Bhagavad Gita fully including all its philosophical , spiritual and psychological studies as well as its social sciences in full one needs help from Krishna , as much as any teacher helps us understand any topic .. AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita as it is …is a must for Western readers . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Everything that is wise , wonderful or beautiful in life and cultures has devolved. The Darwinians suppose that such displays of multifarious cultures , all of them quite exquisite in their own ways originated from a little warm pond .( primordial soup) and evolved …..Although scientifically molecules dont move towards life . Actually the vedas give quite the opposite conclusions, those who do not utalise the human form of life to appreciate the beauty and widom of others who are said to reflect the greatness of Divinity , and who cannot understand the concepts of original ancestors who were communicative with Him over millions of years ago , are in danger of devolving into the pond , to live as microbial creatures thereof. Message of the Vedas is learn to appreciate the highest of culture along with learning and not waste time like unthinking sophisticated animals.
An introduction to Srimad Bhagavatam and its contents..
The Vedas indicates that the Srimad Bhagavatam is highly beneficial to all those living in the material world primarily because it brings everyone to the path of Bhakti , it destroys all ignorance and brings an all inclusive loving attitude because when one can learn to love God automatically everyone is loved .
An introduction to Srimad Bhagavatam and its contents..
Many devotees of Krishna write of His glorious activities accompanying , thus further elaborations of the Srimad Bhagavatam in the form of Smriti are recorded by the Gaudia Vaisnava param para . His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada presented the Srimad Bhagavatam to the Western societies for the first time in the late 60s and 70s . AC Bhaktivedanta Swami is most expert at presenting these topics in practical ways to the modern world . In our film, we are introducing the highly esteemed trancendental works, the Bhagavatam is recognized by leading scholars in every university. ISKCON itself has developed a specialist Oxford branch that introduces Gaudia Vaisnavism to various departments in universities . Previously to their efforts Sankacarya’s impersonal philosophy of Hinduism had been predominantly taught .
In current times, the word WHY is said to be the most popular word on Google , unlimited keyboards on a regular basis type it . Indeed, the Bhagavatam indicates that unless a human asks , who am I ? why do I exist ? What is the purpose of life , and how did the universe begin ? The full potential of humanity can not be achieved. Animals obviously don’t have facilities of rational , logical enquiries , although they possess consciousness like you and I , we should not become sophisticated animals.
Examples of philosophers and thinkers throughout history are to be found , William Paley intelligently concluded that someone finding a watch whilst walking in the long grass in 1850 , although never seeing before on its examination, would naturally assume its fine engineering and design are most certainly the work of a creative brain and with exceptional intelligence . Isaac Newton thought that each individual thumbprint of human beings was a clear evidence for individual engineered design . The teleological argument , design permeates everything in nature and the universe remains as strong as it ever did and becomes stronger as scientific research progresses . Recent studies of the entropy of the cell , shows the cell has low entropy, meaning extremely high organisational levels at its centre but at the same time, high energy levels operating . Such high levels would lead one to expect high exposive entropy , this indicates deliberate controlled systems, controlled mean a controller. The fine tuning of the universe , the so-called goldilocks phenomena , is on view to everyone. Everything is perfect , not too much heat , or too cold , a perfect gravitational force is present , its certainly a puzzle why gravity is week close to earths surface but strong enough to influence the tides from space .The perfect mix of oxygen. This is objective evidence for order and engineering in anyone’s calculations.
Certainly, the opening pages of the Srimad Bhagavatam confirm this observation. The famous opening sloka declares that Divinity is directly and indirectly conscious of every aspect of creation , a creation that emnates from consciousness . Life comes from life… Molecules don’t move towards life , something brings them together, and Vedas say Krishna is within and outside of the material energies , as much as a modern business global empire, the boss is outside but his intelligence permeates the whole affair. The Srimad Bhagavatam itself is a series of one to one conversations through time frames , there are dialogue partners , and these constantly weave in and out of space time , over billions of years and no specific chronological order . There are references to appropriate histories and crucial lessons that can be learned , either from Divinity Himself or His devotees . They are defined as factual events relating to Krishna and His devotees or illustrative stories , bringing home key and important philosophical points .
The Bhagavatam appears and dissappears in the long course of 311 trillion years of a set time of this universe, as much as the sun rises and sets and appears to appear and disappear. The creator god Lord Bramha has inconceivably 4.5 billion of our years as his 12 hours , and its recorded in the Bhagavatam as he sleeps , the partial shut down of our universe begins lasting 4.5 billion years begins , before being rebooted once again. Although our total universe is trillions of years old , only parts are temporarily shut down , and the highest planetary systems remain unaffected.
Lord Krishna Himself comes to reestablished forgotten Dharma or principles of religion , and to attract His devotees , demonstrating His glorious life . 5000 years ago He did so , and when He left this universe after completing His purpose, the question arose what happened to Dharma. Dharma is a living through the desires and order of Krishna , it has a supervisory system , which means , if one acts within Dharma, ones life is reasonably fulfilled and progressive the elevation of consciousness can takes place . But If one acts against Dharma, one automatically degrades one’s own consciousness and becomes furthef and helplessly entangled in reactions and sufferings within material conditioning . The key to understanding the Bhagavatam is to gain scientific objective knowledge of our universe and thus increase faith in Sanatana Dharma . That is the learning of the eternal occupation of the soul , and the symptom of the soul is consciousness .
Ultimately by following such Dharma, one is taken to a place where consciousness can thrive , where it is surrounded by pure consciousness and spiritual energy , and not the deteriating and fluctuating matter made of atomic particals . …….The sages who questioned Sukadeva Goswami in the Bhagavatam, were told that when Krishna leaves this world , Dharma, with all its directions take shape in the form of the Srimad Bhagavatam . Everything for mankind is contained within its pages , and the expert person Bhagavat , who is realised and has understood the Bhagavatam, can extract and understand its mysteries , applying them to given times , places or circumstances . No matter who we are or what we are , progressive steps are chalked out for every section of society within the Bhagavatam. It is said one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong , and Lord Krishna always favours wise council to bring justice to all proceedings in administrations . In its absence, there is turmoil in society reflected in the current times . Today, we see unnecessary suffering and deliberate misguidance brought about by unfit leaders , democracy can mean fools voting in fools . One who studies the Srimad Bhagavatam will bring great security and wisdom to himself and his family . Objective History , objective science, and non cheating religion are all essential ingredients to life , otherwise, mistaken ideas develop, leading to great misfortunes. Wherever there is Krishna, there is always great fortune and victory. Krishna lies within all the pages of the Bhagavatam directly or indirectly.
The problems we have in the Ukraine Russia conflict is that since 2014 onwards USA , Nato and EU have rolled into the country , spending billions on elections and arms ,ignoring any threat that might have created for Russia , which at the time top diplomats and military chiefs warned about . How is everything going to do a U turn ? Although it was foolish to provoke the Russians and still to this day could be a cause of world war three, its difficult to make a country neutral and a buffer zone , especially having given the Ukrainian people a taste of western “freedom ” although in reality freedom means a different kind of control .Putin knows that no half hearted measures are good enough , USA ,EU and UK have to give solid commitments to make Ukraine neutral , No EU membership no Nato membership for 30 years or so , a solid agreement . If not it will remain a huge threat to Russia , and they wont ever tolerate liberal cultures pushing their way into Russian boarders How to square a round circle , USA have so far failed …its a very dangerous problem made worse by EU and UK . This is the understanding and thinking of Prof John Mearsheimer..
