  • Get the best of your theological scholars.

    Mar 18th, 2025

    The world has always had a problem with religion and politics collision , each using each other and with inpure motives .

    Only the top most  of the religious and philosophical intelligensia can be employed to understand the broad and all inclusive theological texts,  they see how God is one , but comes in many ways at different times teaching one and differences in His messages.

    Unfortunately, currently, Trump, as previously Biden did , works  hand in hand , with Netenyaho to destroy and degrade Muslim communities who they claim should all be practically labelled as terrorists or potential terrorists. Of course, the actions of the elements of Hamas who killed innocent citizens and took hostages equally fall into the categories of the barbarian.  There is nothing legitimate about it politically or religiously . Currently USA and ISRAEL and their proposed solutions are not at all legitimate and go against every theological culture , as well as international laws . Their continuing participation in such murderous acts of genocidal revenge brings them both every close to ever darker futures..
    The real solutions to the perversions of any  theological culture.  be it Muslim , Christian , Jewish , or Hindu are to make sure those theological cultures employ  the best and purest of scholars and who  purely follow the meanings of their texts , and apply them in time place and circumstances 

    Pure persons with pure  consciousness  have an all-encompassing vision and are  without materialistic bias or hatred for others. These spiritual leaders should be sure to represent their faith properly and legitimately , teaching their people without any political interference..

  • When the wrong kind of person seeks to influence something inherently good and currupts it .

    Mar 17th, 2025

    We must remember there are different qualities of persons each being influenced by modes of nature , either goodness passion or ignorance according to the Vedas , another influence is the Divine of Demoniac energies.

    When it comes to the history of both religion or politics, it can be seen that on many occasions, wrong influences are brought to bear , and the results are violence,  hatred and ignorance,  truth slips further away from sight,  and a fever pitch of deceit increases .

    Before anyone accepts any political or religious leaders , better find out where their authority is coming from and if it can be traced to authentic statements based on the different grades of political and religious traditions .

    Actually, in one sense, you can’t separate politics and religion. But in another sense you can , how so ? The Vedas make it  clear that self realised souls don’t direct society , and that is left to the best of the administrative classes .

    It’s clear from all standard theolgical texts worldwide , and the historical documents need to be researched thoroughly to check for unauthorised changes by unauthorised persons posing as something they are not . This is essential so as to  know what truth is , truth and curruption of truth will be clear,  in the minds of the truthful. Such pure persons see how such truth incorporates everyone , there is no sectarian spirit in truth. Thus, if any religious leader or political leader is biased or sectarian, they should be immediately dismissed and understood as not  being  bone fide spiritual or political leaders.

    The Vedas give the broad definition of absolute truth and how truth always includes everyone and every being in their relitive positions.

    It’s time for everyone in a world of the cheaters and the cheated to really understand what is truth and what the symptoms of truth are.

  • Let the Vedas grab your attention..

    Mar 17th, 2025

    Let the Vedas grab your attention.. along with the Vedic Proffesors . The teacher and his character should be ideal .

    Daily, mainstream media stations around the world wheel out all kinds of ” expert ” persons ,  putying them on your TV screen  with a ploy to influence your mind , such ” expert”  persons who purport to speak objective truth ,   in reality  most of the time, they are filling the airwaves with complete  subjective bias . Added to the mainstream nowadays are countless internet ” experts  “
    If anyone wants to know the truth , Krishna gives us advice in His Bhagavad Gita . His first point is that the quality of the persons character should be perfect and examined , and the other point He makes is the persons epistemology , the evidence, how do they know they know ..In matters of sociology , political affairs , the economy , geopolitical history the arts, etc etc and the  general sciences how are we to  know that  what ” experts ”  say are  actually objective facts  , and not their spin or subjective slant , the material world is condemned as a place where people have a tendency to cheat , they have imperfect senses , they are easily illusioned and they make frequent mistakes.
    Our point is , if you’re going to subject yourself to so many opinions on so many subjects , at least give yourself a grounding by understanding the Vedas.
    Knowledge , truth , beauty, and harmony are absolute and always in existence. Such truth pervades everywhere, and if one’s consciousness is rightly situated, one can catch all self-evident truths .
    You attract what you are , so we should be clear on how to be situated correctly.

  • Old and yet new , the constant fluctuating universal affairs.

    Mar 16th, 2025

    Cyclic universal cycles and speciation.

    Speciation,  its  untraceable history within time immemorial .

    The Darwinions greatly limit themselves , by turning a blind eye to the physicists , many of whom readily accept multidimensional space time and cyclic universal events that are  self perpetual .

    With that in mind, the Vedas confirm this thinking and carry the matter further , recording an incalculable number  of other universes , which are simultaneously manifested .

    All  living beings who inhabit these various regions have also been in existence since time immemorial, and they are in a constant flux, including patterns of accepting different bodies within different species . This is determined by the particular consciousness , which is being driven by particular mental and intellectual  attitudes, all of which actually originate from Divinity.  In reality, they are alien to our original pure consciousness existence . The Vedas indicate that according to each individual being’s ethereal consciousness , caused by choices and interactions within matter ,that in turn are  connected to an automated process of bodily production , one could very well say a super subjective artificial intelligence system operates .  It is inconceivable in one sense  , but also conceivable , especially in current  technological times .

    The material energies are ,  according to the Bhagavad Gita ,  endlessly mutable , and as such , the ethereal mind  is free to wonder in uncalculable  ways within them . The circumstances behind every living being on veiw  gives us an indication of   an individual experience,  very real to them , they develop and taste unlimited variables of the  inner consciousness and unique experiences in every particular   body that is accepted . All seek ways of satisfaction and pleasure.  Thus , nothing is fixed in the mental ethereal planes , and accordingly , speciation changes and adapts as the material energies award multitudes of bodies within ever fluctuating environments that  can be  forever  responsive to differing circumstances and differing time factors , in the multi universe .

    As an engineer can automatically adapt a set and successful design to suit a slightly different purpose ,  variables and adapted structural changes to the engineering of the body are always going to be easily possible , thus to the Darwinian we say , same engineer,  different engineering .  For instance, you can turn your garage into a first-class mini  cinema , or your bungalow into a mansion , using  engineering’s  set rules . So the Vedic explanation for speciation is simple ,  same engineer,  different engineering , along with flexibility and adaptions but always a guided process , not unguided chance mutations. Such facilities for the consciousness to reside  continue in universal cyclic cycles eternally. As Divinity is constantly expanding.

  • Something on loan …

    Mar 16th, 2025

    Some followers of Buddhism or similarly Sankacarya consider the material desires and material energies are somehow not connected to a supreme personality who has , using His energies , provided the material energies with which an individual can masquerade as a separate enjoyer . Although they are totally clueless of the origins or real nature of what they try to enjoy .
    They postulate that their own mind is creating their temporary life of illusion. But do not give any explanation of the origins of their minds , although the Srimad Bhagavatam does so , a manifestation of Visnu called Annirudha is the sum total of the subtle powers of the mind , that accepts and rejects conditions presented to it , thinking, feeling and willing using another of Visnu’s energies, the intelligence coming from Pradyumna the totality of a borrowed intellect that functions within matter and exploits matter .
    Thus in ignorance of their surroundings , they fail in their attempts to enjoy and in their further failures, they imagine that permanent liberation is possible by ignorance and denial of absolute truth who is manifesting material energies , including minds and intellects .
    The Vedas gives the full rundown on every philosophical position imaginable. One is advised to make a study and hear from those who know something of those positions .

  • Propelling the spirit soul back to the spiritual worlds.

    Mar 16th, 2025

    “The propulsion of all rockets, jet engines, deflating balloons, and even squids and octopuses is explained by the same physical principle—Newton’s third law of motion. Matter is forcefully ejected from a system, producing an equal and opposite reaction on what remains. Another common example is the recoil of a gun.”

    The greatest propulsion of all perhaps is the equal and opposite reactions of spiritual movements as opposed to material movements .  Movements  spiritually bound or materially bound have far-reaching  consequences for the individuals , well  beyond one’s comprehension . They  propel the individual within the 14 planetary regions of space, where time and matter are  operating under different laws or instead ,  into the regions beyond space time where time is conspicuous by its absence,  the Vedas says.

    To thrust the conditioned souls from their attractions to self-centred material lust , towards pure unadulterated love , is no easy task . Material lust is masquerading  as love and deceive the whole world.

    Yet , the pulling of pure  love and lust are remarkably similar in one sense , like broken glass and diamonds seem comparable to the naive.   It’s a question of motivation and the purity of our  motivations that determines which direction our consciousness is heading in .Love and lust can look similar , but are millions of miles apart .

    Even more remarkable is that the Vedas describe in fine details these forces of love and lust . One trajectory forces our mind and senses, traversing into the lower regions of species and planets and the other into the higher regions and ultimately the planets where Divinity resides .

    Srimati Radharani , the Supreme Goddess of fortune and the activities of the residents of Vrndavana, are one example of supreme pure love , the residents of Dwarka, another , the residents of Vaikuntha are also delineated as places where  the highest of pure love is exhibited.   The power and attractions of serving the emaculate spiritual senses of Divinity brings ever new enthusiasm, as opposed to what the Christians might  refer to as  serving the Devil , i.e., selfish self-centred lust with  exploitation as its goal that degrades the consciousness causing depression. These are the two extremes of life . There are, of course, plenty of middle grounds, and both  extremes have, in one sense, unlimited facilities by the arrangement of Divinity.

    Unimaginably strong forces of  attractions are at play , such are the arrangements of what the Vedas call Maha Maya and Yoga Maya . The impersonal philosophers try to deny or starve  the senses , but the soul has senses, and they must act sooner or later , one way or another. The Vedas tell us of our choices.

    Fully understanding the attractions of the mind and senses and where they  might take us and the speed that they carry us to  destinations  are  fully described in the Vedas . Every destination is explained from the 8,400,000 species in a material universes to the unlimited planes of Vaikuntha planets.

  • No conditions immediately love of God .

    Mar 16th, 2025

    Lord Krishna, in His Bhagavad Gita , the song of God , makes a condition to approach Him , He says, “Think of Me , become my devotee , offer homage and worship Me , you will certainly come to Me .” Certainly, that’s how love works , even in the material world, the lover is always thinking of the lover , or the mother is always thinking of the child .

    But when Krishna came as Mahaprabhu He did not make any conditions , He freely is  distributing love of God to one and all the deserving and undeserving.

    A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada tells the secret  of how the undeserving and impious persons are able to immediately purify their existence and approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead  , Prabhupada demonstrates it . He told  Bhaja  Hari his disciple .when a tramp was seen sleeping on a park bench whilst on a morning walk , that such a person and others like Him can be immediately purified of sins .  Sins which are bearing results now , in the near future and distant future , all eradicated . Prabhupada said , “we are creating their good fortune , by chanting the Holy names , they hear God names ,  by distributing prasadam and by trancendental litratures and thus all methods are engaging everyone in the highest of Sukriti activities.

    Thus, there is no need for a  previous good sukriti , either karma or jnana , because we immediately are giving Bhakti sukriti the highest of benefits ,  the usual Vedic systems   required to approach God is to aquire much piety. In this age one can very soon develop the highest standards and  highest spiritual culture that enable anyone to think of Him and serve Him and enter into a relationship.  Of course, those that have got some trancendental pedigree from previous practice will generally be able to dive deeper and quickly into the ocean of love of God , but not in all cases.

    Lord Nityananda led this mass distribution of love of God  and trancendental Sukriti to one and all under the direction of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , and the magnificent display of these  great benedictions were brought to the world by A.C . Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , which was very much the desire of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami , and how inconceivably and perfectly Prabhupada carried those desires out and practically enacted them

  • Modern and ancient worlds

    Mar 15th, 2025

    The benefits of an industrial and technological world and its downfalls.

    From a Vedic perspective, one might not see any benefits of our modern world with what’s clearly witnessed as increased materialism and exploitation , with wealth for the very few and poverty for the rest internationally.

    Initially, the industrial revolution was hailed as a great wonder for mankind , it made claims of alleviating poverty and civilising mankind who were engrossed in nature living lives not much more further progressed than the proverbial Darwinian caveman . It has progressed to the current technological ages of fast internet communication , perhaps some good could be seen if it were not tainted by its  exploitative motives and methods , which  has at its heart greed that is stoking conflicts, sadly it appears to have no real sharing concepts .

    Instead of sharing in  technological innovations that could well bring benefits to everyone in every country of the world , it instead is hampered by fake leaders with little sense of decency and a business model of ” intoxicated greed ” . There is no foresight by any of them  or even a wish to carefully balance the needs of man , all creatures, and the environments we all need for healthy good living . Thus, the whole vision has gotten of hand and is heading for disaster, and no one knows how to stop it .

    Actually, there are great benefits to be had to opening up the world where cultures are shared, and comparisons can be seen in all aspects of each countries education systems and cultures . Currently, persons  are being fooled and exploited by a so-called intelligensia , while the real intelligensia are silenced . Sharing cultures can be highly beneficial. For instance, the perverted caste systems in India or the class systems of the English empire are now clearly seen to be bias, after all you are what you are , not only the family you are born into . Mass education has helped everyone in many ways  and should be in place for everyone,  promoting natural social mobility.

    So , there are benefits and downfalls of modern living , but the two can be harmonized with a balanced and fair approach .That is easily achieved when the genuine and sensitive intelligentsia influence affairs of state .The original purpose of the Vedas is clear , matters of scientific studies , sociology , balanced economics , justice, philosophical, and religious progression are essential and should always be ongoing and progressive and systematically taught .

    Everyone is searching after good leadership and hankering for a just society with mature outlooks to all matters of science and religion and matters of political affairs . The Vedas have much to offer , and shortly , a new Renaissance period will begin , actually, it’s began , education of body , mind, and consciousness that is so essential and that everyone needs and will be satisfied with.

  • Mercy above justice

    Mar 15th, 2025

    Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami was fond of using this expression , but just what did he mean by it.

    Ultimately, he is referring to this verse in Lord Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita.

    sarva-dharmān parityajya
    mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
    ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
    mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
    9
    Translation
    Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.

    Srila Sridhar Swami point was that a high court judge has the power to commute a prison sentence if he feels the prisoners deserve mercy above justice . By principle of laws, the prisoners should be punished in particular ways . But laws have to be applied sensibly and with sensitivity , not in unthinking fanatical ways just for the sake of law , otherwise , the law is an ass .

    The Supreme Personality of Godhead is directly and indirectly conscious of all that is taking place , and individuality means God is in the individuals heart . He knows the motives and state of the consciousness of each individual. By Karmic synchronicities , the individual is entangled in the complexity of action reactions caused by countless lives and the many possibilities of choices of actions and mentalities that develop.

    Automatically a supreme justice system is in place , like an inconceivable” Divine AI ” programme , as the future body is already being prepared by material nature by our current actions, the observer effect in Quantum physics is taken to a supreme level .

    Anyhow , the Supreme justice system originally comes from a person with feelings , and when God knows we are sincere in our approach to him and truely repented and have acceptance of our circumstances realising we are the architects of our misfortune , and that  we have selfishly caused varieties of pain to others , and are sorry , and when we turn to the superior quality of God’s existence , Krishna or God begins to immediately wipe the slate clean .

    In this age, chanting the trancendental sound of Gods names is the approach of  receiving mercy above justice

  • Where spirituality and science collide

    Mar 14th, 2025


    The Srimad  Bhagavatams’ final goal is to explain the essence of loving  consciousness . This is  inherently situated within the heart of all beings,  and when we learn to  love God , love and its ever increasing attractions are experienced in ever new ways and qualities , there is no limit . This is something quite incomprehensible  within the purview of our limited material senses that generally are motivated to act in selfish pursuits , although love is also seen to a degree , even in the animal kingdom effection , respect and caring is seen . This searching for love stems from an  ultimate plane of existence and the Srimad Bhagavatam clearly and scientifically explains its origins.  Such higher planes of beauty and love everyone is  searching  for , either knowingly or unknowingly . The Srimad Bhagavatam tells us our material conditioning is hampering us from experiencing pure unalloyed love and that we are the cause  of our problems and are the architects of our own misfortune .
    We should understand that beyond the limits of atoms , elements, and compounds and a mind that accepts and rejects and  beyond a limited intellectual platform lies greater planes of existence .Consciousness is the greatest mystery for science. Curiously, modern physicists  refer to the  multidimensional space time and also  accept  the concept of the  worlds of many possibilities . Religion and  spiritual searching collide within the  science of the  Bhagavatam.
    The Bhagavatam highlights the ultimate expansion of consciousness into its original purposeful spiritual forms . Such forms experience finer and finer emotions  bringing ever increasing blissful experiences in the company of  Divinity  Himself , who is the master of  these loving exchanges, technically called rasa or mellows .  It’s a  playground of consciousness with perfected spiritual forms in a  perfected spiritual state . This can be exhibited under the direct supervision and company of the associates of Radharani’s friends called Manjaris,  who serve  the emaculate spiritual senses of Divinity known as Krishna . Krishna is always accompanied by the  personification of His own  pleasure potency , representative of the female aspect of Divinity , namely Srimati Radharani , and She is always in the company of Her confidential companions ,  they   are imbued with ever blissful spiritual rasa .

    The middle portion of the 10th canto of the Srimad  Bhagavatam is said to be the smiling face of Krishna, those persons who have throughly studied the previous Cantos and who have understood Krishna as the supreme personality of Godhead along with His  varigatedness energies, can eventually take to spontaneous loving service in a trancendental informal relationship based on pure love .
