The principle teachings taught  by Mahāprabhu as made clear  by his conversations with Ramananda Roy, are that one should systematically from a particular starting place , according to ones station , and steadily and eagerly come to the essence of the teachings of Gaudia Vaisnavism . Srila Rupa Goswami has brought even more details within his teachings , and the association of trancendental professors , i.e., Sri Guru is essential for personal checks and balances.

We are never to  discard the Varna Ashram system and its true worth or the stages progressing from it .  The gradual developmental process of association and training by the trancendental intelligentsia in all their various capacities are an essential element of the development of Krishna consciousness . There are cor and peripheral elements to Krishna consciousness, and many Siksa Gurus may help us . 1st class devotees, 2nd class, and 3rd class devotees are consistently present in the theological cultures in the world  no matter the country,  and ultimately, the teaching our spiritual cultures must have similarities and so they do . God is unlimitedly merciful and makes Himself known in many ways .
The Caitanya Caratamrita makes it clear that what Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given society is ultimate the essence of love of God , the connoisseurs of love in spiritual matters , the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana have made this very clear and why it is so .
No matter what your external circumstances may be ,  by Nama Sankirtana chanted with sincere purposes, one can very quickly acquire love of God .  However, a top-class Brahminical man , although externally  very knowledgeable in the Vedas  and be very expert with the formalities of cultures, may  or may not aquire what Mahāprabhu has given ,that will  depend on a state of humility of the heart and a greed to understand something of the esoteric elements of Bhakti yoga , this is in the hands of those pure devotees who have tasted it and are relishing it , and they bestow it. Thus, causless mercy is needed , and mercy above justice is an important principle demonstrated by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu. This is so because Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu will wipe away all previous bad karma in a stroke. What is our due is excused , this is the essence of Nityananda prabhu and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu

An analysis of the state of Western politics was that  formerly, the king snatched power from the Catholic Church in the United Kingdom and set up his own church and administration . Later  Cromwell snatched power from the king and  gave power to politically influenced persons, mostly landowners . In modern times,  the business classes are controlling and influencing the weak and unqualified political classes . In the USA, having  direct  rule , Donald Trump leads the way . The business class wants money at any cost , employees, or the environment or decent behaviour will not stand in their way . Wars , deaths, and exploitation are caused by greed and ignorance of others’ rights . Encroachments are the very nature of the ruthless businessmen.  If they are artificially put in charge of a country, they will put the country in debt by lowering taxes , to increase their own profits. Currently, the USA is in 38 trillion debt .
These business persons are ruthless and have no real care except their wallet.
Thus , the Vedic way is the intelligentsia who are philosophically minded and compassionate to all , hold the life long king  to account making him responsible to carry out duties within  his political administration that are just and fair . Such leaders are compelled to instigate governmental and compliance systems so that  businessmen operate with real  free market economics , not fixed global monopolies. The business communities must protect its workforce and provide them with sufficient resources to live , including a home to live in , and must respect others’ cultures and countries.
Democracies are crumbling and have been infiltrated by the conglomorates who fund politics and fund mainstream media, causing the unthinking layman to remain unthinking….thus fools are voting in fools

The more the technological world heats up, the more the top dogs will chase down and make a  kill  .What they consider  precious minerals and precious earth of any kind are to them ,more precious than a life or two , or even thousands. The last snatches for oil reserves are also in their sights.
Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has everyone thinking of  immediate circumstances , the needs of our  bodies , at the cost of others , and literally sophisticated animals are running the world.  ..Welcome to the world of the uncontrolled and the  uncontrollable libeterians who are  global conglomerates in disguise.  They manipulate and infiltrate democracies and societies. With Ai propaganda tools at the ready, they are serious about cancelling out traditions and ancient cultures as well as  cultures of scientific dualism ,the consciousness connections.  The businessman has no heart for the world, nor is he of she a  scientific or  philosophically minded person who considers it .Profit profit profit.  That’s OK we need economics and economies,  but not at any cost . The Vedic way is to appoint persons suitable for posts , leaders, who genuinely have  respect for all life and cultures . Understanding and possessing a cooperative spirit based on the scientific reality of dualism and importantly the self-evident truth of thd equality of all beings , who also have differences in needs and who have different capacities . Sensitivity is another natural quality of leaders who feel for the suffering of others .

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 impressions or attractions  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 delves 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.

The founder acarya of ISKCON caused some controversy amongst the media in the USA in the 1960s pointing out that on  average, men’s brains are larger than women’s brains.

Recently, studies show that male brains are typically 8-13% larger than female brains . This difference in size is not related to intelligence, as both male and female brains are, of course, similar . It’s also clear ladies and men are as equally intelligent in their own ways ,  intelligence differs  according to one’s karmic position, and there are different types of intelligence. It was Richard Feynman who said you could have a pocket full of PHd’s and be a complete idiot .The Vedas indicates that the greatest use of intelligence is to have the wisdom and insights to be able to separate consciousness from matter . The objective world of dualism.

It’s the role that ladies  play in modern times that have changed  from former times . So has much in life and especially the economy. Everything is mighty expensive, and everyone is encouraged to become as rich as possible,  and if you want a big house, big car , and big everything else, both mothers  and fathers have to work hard . Schools and other educational institutions provide all kinds of directions  to children and from an early age . In former times, mothers played more the home and educational role

Ladies in historic times have always played an intelligent and important role in supporting their husbands and children, giving much needed support and insights with great emotional care. and they still do. In modern times however  Vedic cultures can be and are adapted . The priorities and principles of ladies supporting their men , who are carrying out their duties properly and work hard for the family is a good one, of course . It’s the essential element that  ladies bring and bring stabilised families that are healthy in body , mind, and spirit. With the mothers spending as much time as possible with their children. The choices are how much money we need , but equally how to give the best of times and security for the family.

So the Vedic life of simple living and  high thinking with family orientated traditions and loyalties  is good for everyone. Along with automatically further development in one’s consciousness without the  hindrance of dealing with broken relationships and all that brings.

Modern life and liberalism can be troubling, especially if it’s centred around the speculations and teaching of Darwinian scientific materialism of one life, one death , so what the he’ll,  let’s go with the minds flow . We should guard against those who advocate liberalisation of family and cultural values based on theological sciences of consciousness development

One Vedic perspective.

It can be seen as
Geeks and quasi intellectuals manipulating history and established cultures . Influences upon media , science , politics , religion , and social sciences are taking place, an attempt to make a one world libeterian culture predominantly USA led to suit the economic vision of ruthless atheistic conglomerates .  Businessmen should never have the power to run  or influence public office or spend money on destroying cultures and history or  promoting scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis.  The world is their’s for the taking , they think and their money buys how people are educated .The world of scientific materialism with Darwins shadow darkening traditional cultures  . Ai authorities want to infiltrate and change the wisdom of family values stemming from tried and tested  theological cultures based on objective sciences and replace it with atheistic liberalised subjective speculations. Their goals are to destroy  predominantly localised economies based on non encroachment and respect of other cultures , those who care for every living thing that’s found in nature and care for nature herself ….

Obviously, some Ai is useful, but their hidden influences need examining

More on this soon..

But why not ride the right waves ..

Yoga and great theological cultures are like surfing.
The surfers are sitting out in the ocean watching the waves roll in and crash into the shore , they neglect to ride them and only choose the best of them .
They are waiting for far, far greater waves to ride,  that can really satisfy them  Although in the material world, everything crashes at death , some  thoughts and desires are beneficial  and progress our journey to pure consciousness , most should be ignored. Transformations of energies are occurring. Krishna’s material or spiritual energies are interrelated and can liberate or entangle .
Nothing is separate from Krishna , but choose the right waves of energy and transform the highest of the waves of the best of culture into pure spirit .
Bhagavad Gita teaches how .

The Vedas bring us evidence of practical , observable, and objective knowledge and the processes of its decending procedures and systematic distribution . It’s all  in Divinities care and His responsibilities,  He says ” I am the Vedas ” Cyclic cycles of the universal affairs mean knowledge of all kinds has to be consistently and repeatedly reintroduced sometimes being presented in different formats accordingly. Essentials of practical knowledge of every kind ,as well as  spiritual knowledge, are essential for mankind.  In current times , as was the case in the past, many practical and fitting “technologies ” both in matter and the ethereal are given to mankind . Different ages bring differences in priorities , some more materialistic others more spiritually oriented . We can observe  practically that a particular person receives specific insight into a specific fields of knowledge. They create something wonderful or solve a problem ,  whatever is needed for humanity , even great musical symphonies is brought forward.  Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, ” I am the ability on man,” we term it a gifted person.
Suddenly it has been experienced , in the scientific field , by scholars , a  particular problem is solved by a particular person who had been racking their brains , unexpectedly, the solutions come suddenly , appearing  in their minds ,  perhaps whilst in the bath , and when they were least expecting it . Beethoven used to say that music would begin to flow into his  head . Divinity has the responsibility to guide mankind directly or through his agents , so certain great personalities are always amongst us to bring what’s needed  ,  all of them specialising in various fields of knowledge,  wisdom, or the arts and ultimately in theological sciences. Previously executed pious activities or sacrifices qualify one to become gain insights and ” channel ” wisdoms

The universe explains itself in many many ways, if one is ready to understand . Those who have taken the lessons and understood them well can bring further clarification to others who have not yet . The complexities of the universal order seem incalculable, but still, everything can become clear . Both socially, scientifically, philosophically, and theologically, everything can be clearly understood , there is a set working plan in action and the original plan maker knows all the details and is monitoring everything,  everything is happening under his supervision,  including the responses to actions that go against the universal order .
Once one thing is known, everything becomes known .If one scientifically understands Divinity, everything is clear , thus, Einstein said religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.
The cause of all causes and the systematic processes of creation maintenance and temporary destruction within the cyclic cycles of eternal time are described in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras . The Sutras are precisely stated truths that can be elaborated upon by pure representatives of Divinity who have seen the truth .
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has presented the Srimad Bhagavatam to the Western audiences , many many acaryas have commented on this great work , it is in everyones interests to read and study the Bhagavatam as a regular daily function

If we look at the ocean or  extract a drop of sea water ,and  examine one drop of it , it  enables us to understand something of the ocean . However, in reality , the total  combined oceans is a true expression of what the sum total of the ocean is . Within its depths are  complex currents and even unknown species are lurking. So, a cursory glance  or some examination does not tell us much about its nature , but it gives some idea

In the same way ….
One can point to one person , one particle of consciousness, and understand something of consciousness  , such a study will give some clues of  the nature of God, the Vedas says , along with His consciousness . The Vedas indicates God displays His unlimited consciousness  in numerous ways , and they should be considered. He is, for instance, fully conscious of every one of his part and parcel expansions, namely  all the living beings .  He is simultaneously one and different from them and reciprocating with each part separately and directly . Those who understand consciousness properly can understand something of God .Thats why those who understand dualism by studying their own consciousness will most definitely understand something of the “ocean ” of God’s unlimited consciousness and something of His unlimitness energies and powers .

mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ
jagad avyakta-mūrtinā
mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni
na cāhaṁ teṣv avasthitaḥ

Translation
By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

Srila Sridhar Swami would say , in describing God ….…that God is everywhere but nowhere . How is this ? Because God is He who is full of opulences and lives in a multiuniversal capacity,  both materially and spiritually . He can bestow trancendental bliss upon His devotees as  the original personality of Godhead and simultaneously take care of the affairs of the material energies . God is everything , but Krishna is the original person from whom all the other forms of Divinity expand, and has multifarious energies , some superior some inferia. He remains  permanently in Goloka Vrndavana , the spiritual world .  So He is inside everything and simultaneously outside .

How can those placing faith in  scientific materialism or atheistic Darwinian hypothesis understand ?

But Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger , Feynman or Teller would very well understand.

And the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall.

The concept that Krishna is everywhere but nowhere is explored in spiritual and philosophical writings in many cultures. Particularly within the framework of  the dualistic school of Vedic philosophy , as opposed to monism , ie. God that is impersonal . This concept, often attributed to Srila Sridhar Swami, suggests that Krishna is both all-encompassing and yet transcends any specific location or limitation.
Here’s a breakdown of the concept:
Everywhere:
Krishna is seen as the ultimate reality, the underlying principle of the universe. As such, He is present in everything, pervading all space and time. This aligns with the idea of Brahman, the ultimate reality in Advaita Vedanta, which  considers God impersonal and to be one, indivisible, and the source of all existence.
The one and difference are discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam…
It indicates, “At the same time as being all pervading , Krishna is beyond the limitations of the material world.” He is not confined to any specific place, time, or form. This aspect of Divinity emphasizes His expansions of His  spiritual energies , the ultimate reality. It’s not limited by the duality of existence and non-existence of the physical world.
In Essence:
The “everywhere but nowhere” concept highlights the paradoxical nature of the ultimate reality. It suggests that while Krishna is present in every aspect of the universe, He also transcends it and is not bound by the limitations of the material world.
This concept is often used to illustrate the idea that the ultimate reality is not something that can be defined or localized in the same way as ordinary objects or beings. It emphasizes the transcendence of the divine and the fact that He is beyond our comprehension. “
Bhagavad Gita .9.4

Einstein v Bohr

Its not that they were that far apart in real terms.

“Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.”
Says Einstein .

The key to understanding Einstein’s statement is to consider dualism,  Einstein was not an ardent follower of scientific materialism per se .

Bohr accepted both classical and quantum physics.
As does the Vedas , the word for atom is within the Vedas..

But the vedas speaks of the ethereal subtle energies,  akin to the mind and intelligence that are the causes of atoms , along with the electromagnetic energies that are devolved from the Bramajyoti , a high grade light originated from the spiritual realms . The multidimensional material and spiritual planes are discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam.
The world we live in is real, of course,  but temporary. The followers of Sankaracarya consider this world unreal , and in one sense, that’s true but in another not .
The consciousness and the universe are linked together by the interests and desires of the individual consciousness under the supervision of Divinity and His unlimited consciousness, and limited consciousness is eternally linked to the unlimited consciousness.
When the conscious being  understands that he or she is something different than a material body and also different from the  universal energies, being freed from scientific materialism and  clearly understanding dualism , then the real consciousness journey begins .  One should question why the living beings have  become subjected to the laws of the universe . By such enquiries, the universal order  reciprocates in helping gradually acquire knowledge and detachment from all  universal connections, and that is  the beginning of  liberation . Gradually, by understanding dualism and by  searching the inner meaning to life, one is connected to devotional activities . The cause of all causes is understood by  purified and detached persons. One can eventually enter a  plane where consciousness and the energy surrounding it are of the same nature .
Once Edward Teller had tea with Neils Bohr, and he said to Bohr, ” You have changed everything in the way we view the world, and in the future, everyone will see the world much differently..”
After a long pause, Bohr said, ” Are you saying this world is not real but like a dream?”
