Srimad Bhagavatam contains the Sruti , Smriti ,  Tantra, and Purana.
Srila Goswami has accepted this authority as bone fide epistemology and anything outside of those as not necessarily transparent truth , but rather at most , somewhat speculative that may or may not bring a person closer to understanding absolute truth . The truth is  spoken directly in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Kṛṣṇa personally , and subsequently in the Srimad Bhagavatam about Him by His realised devotees  and the Caitanya Caritamrta , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu,  who is Krishna Himself elaborated on further more confidential truths and greatly extended the access to realising them . The Caitanya Caratamrita is regarded as the postgraduate study of the other two , the  Gita and Bhagavatam.
Anything calculated independently about the reality of spiritual and material truth utilising the senses or the mental and intellectual capabilities will be tainted with material limited calculations , and it will forever fall within the conditioned modes of material nature , those of passion,  goodness, and ignorance , trancendental life is beyond , it is situated in Suddha Sattva,  pure transcendence .
Trancendental topics are described as pure Subdha brahman , pure sound vibration. Knowledge in suddha sattva or pure goodness that is untainted by lust , anger , greed , envy , and illusions or attachments pertaining to the body , mind , senses or intelligence. This trancendental sound originates from Divinity Himself , and His pure representatives having accepted such sound can also  vibrate pure unalloyed sounds . Both Sadhu sanga , association of pure devotees, and Sastra sanga , accessibility of pure scriptures , are available to the sincere seeker of truth , both of these two are essential and work co jointly.
Such vibrations or writings  are empowered by Divinity and are  of the same spiritual nature as the absolute truth .The characteristics of the representatives of pure sounds are significant , This vese indicates them .

TRANSLATION

The symptoms of a sādhu are that he is tolerant, merciful and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies, he is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures, and all his characteristics are sublime.

Divinity can always be  attributed to the teachings of the recognitiond Sadhus and  Guru’s and is also within the recognitiond Sastras . Both of the Sruti and the Smriti that is contained within the Bramha Gaudia sampradaya  . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur had begun to present these topics to the Western audience’s.  His son Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, the spiritual master  of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami, took matters much further  within India , and also sent representatives to London . Srila A.C.Bhavtivedanta  Swami has taken all these matters  incalculably further ,  in terms of their being made available to Western audiences all over the world . He has  made all our acaryas teachings accessible and understandable to a worldwide audience in very unique and empowered ways . The international society for Krishna consciousness has brought the Vedas to the whole world, and  increasingly so . Other Gaudia Vaisnava organisations have also developed to teach in the Western world since ISKCON was formed,  and in India many Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have always existed since Mahaprabhu’s appearance.

ISKCON is sometimes accused of mission drift ..
If the peripherals within the Gaudia Vaisnava greater Vedic connections becomes ISKCON’S cor that would go against the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , following His conversation with Ramananda Roy . At the same time is the conclusions of Mahāprabhus conversation are enacted primarily, and the peripherals discarded that would equally go against Mahāprabhu’s conversations.
The spiritually infused and mature ecclesiastical scholars within ISKCON have to strike the right balances allowing the natural flow from the peripherals to the cor , avoiding the dangers of the peripherals to become the predominant cor of the organisation . Overly identifying with Western modern Hinduism , or the neo libertine populist of the many shallow yoga organisations, each of those are very firmly situated within the peripherals with little inklings of the Gaudia Vaisnava cor is mission drift ..

The principles of Vedic societies are founded on the common sense logic that specific key occupations are to be carried out carefully and precisely and by persons who have the inherant natures that are equated for purposes . This is particularly  important, especially when occupational duties affect greater society, such as political leaders , social leaders , religious leaders, or business leaders.  We could say , for instance, in the past, many rouge leaders have taken possession of posts that they were not psychologically profiled for , the results are always disastrous , although those in ignorance may not understand what the consequences are or even what a disaster looks like or how it may be unfolding . The independent Vedic Brahminical intelligentsia themselves were profiled in Vedic cultures , there were always checks and balances in place instigated by Divinity Himself. We should know that Visnu has established the Vedas. The Vedas is the breathing of the Visnu , and He  has seen to it throughout the history of the Universe that the extensive Vedic widom passes   through and is understood by the purest and truthful persons,  their qualities are given in the Vedas .The highest quality persons , pure in consciousness , can fully access and understand the many applications of the all encompasing governance and compliance systems designed for social and spiritual mobility that go hand in hand in Vedic culture. Specific persons with specific qualifications and  realisations and skill sets in specific areas and that are inherant within them since birth due to previous lives are suited for tasks ,  and they can be  perfected by further education as well as association .  Administrative posts , business enterprise , crafts and practical skills, and finally, persons with theological or theosophy  liking as well philosophical leanings are some examples.
The percentages, according to the Vedas , of people fitting particular roles remain very steady throughout all societies historically,  and indeed, this  is objectively seen .
In order for societal cohesion to take place  it’s very important , and Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita ,  that a  particular type of person with particular qualities that are suited for a specific roles in society take their place . Persons should not take up someone else’s duties ,  duties that they don’t have the inherant qualities for ,  as that will always lead to an imbalance and great harm locally and nationally and internationally.

For instance, a businessman is a profit driven man , and he will not be able to consider the multifarious needs of the population nor the creatures that live within the countryside.

However, the man with greater vision , an administrator , will understand those needs , and still further, another man , the philosophical and theological persons, will understand the much much  greater aspects of humanities needs . Even the needs of a single ant are to be  considered. In the human case , along with philosophical developments are  the environment needs living peaceful lives . The bigger picture and the greater questions of life are understood by great thinkers who link themselves with honesty to God but not in a sentimental way .

Without having the right persons influences in the key positions , society becomes unbalanced and unsteady and unproductive , exploitation , danger , killing, and wars increase.  Greater ignorance of the key values develops, and intolerance increases . Essential knowledge as well as all-around education becomes stifled .  The all important intelligentsia who have everyone’s interest at heart are silenced or pushed out  , either by , political operators,  fanatical religionists , or ultra liberalists who are  business  conglomorates who favour scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis , its good for business.   Unfortunately, currently, they own and control much of the mainstream and social media . They also spend money to fix  legislation their way with the help of political allies , and their foolhardy messages are broadcast wholesale. The results have been a widespread teaching of subjective scientific speculations as fact based science to children. Scientific materialism is the dog of the day . Children should be taught critical thinking, particularly in the all-important sciences .

The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam give  details of the Vedic societies make-up and different people’s qualities for  various occupational activities. Not specifically by birthright but inherant qualities within.  Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has translated them into  English.

Napoleon , Nityananda Prabhu and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami and Srila Prabhupada.

One may wonder what possible connection can there be between Napoleon , Lord Nityananda, and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami , and the mission of Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada .Srila B.R .Sridhar Swami tells the story.

When Napoleon came to lead the military , he uniquely and  unexpectedly used new and surprising tactics , generally , military commanders would first attack the weakest points of the opposing army . However, when Napoleon took charge, he immediately attacked the strongest elements of the enemy,  this caught the enemy by complete  surprise,  and thus, they retreated from the battle in shock being unfamiliar with such boldness and straightforward tactics.

Similarly ,Srila B.R. Swami says that Nityananda prabhu attacks the strongest elements of Maya , those who are the most degraded receive immediate relief , one can say , mercy above justice . In doing so, those that are afflicted by Kali yuga and who are feeling the strongest influences are very quickly lifted, and such rescued persons become the teachers of the rest of humanity at large .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja demonstrated through his strong preaching that the whole of society is to be challenged. This was another side of Lord Nityananda and Lord Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.   The purposes of both the Gaudia math and ISKCON missions  were to face Kali yuga head on in with strong vigorous argumentations on all fronts . Through science , sociology , religion , politics , the arts as Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja did , he issued major challenges to the status quo . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada followed this boldness .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja lived in Calcutta during his preaching efforts of facing down the challenges of contemporary industrialised materialism as well as scientific materialism. People would say, “Why don’t you live in the Holy places ,” he responded by saying that he would live where the greatest preaching opportunities were and where he could make bold  challenges , as far as Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami was concerned there was no shortage of anything accept Krishna consciousness. He once said if all the books in the British library were to disappear, there would be no loss as long as the Srimad Bhagavatam remained.

We know Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami carried that spirit deep within his heart .  Calling out Darwinian scientists as  cheaters. Who  presented hypothesis as fact based science and taught the world guessing as truth , and he also  called out  hypocritical political leaders as rascals , the modern-day economics as driving men to work like unthinking asses . Preaching means no compromise , but everything should be  explained in a balanced, rational way and logically.

So real Gaudia Vaisnava followers  don’t beat about the bush , but rather challenge those who are rascals and cheaters or who are political hypocrites and who mislead society .

At times, modern ISKCON loose this spirit and concern themselves with a softer safer approach,  yoga kirtan , Hindu temple building , agreements with modern economics, and its very popular to teach psychology in one form or another.

A Vedic world for today’s purposes.

Creating a Vedic world within the world of Kali

Creating a family with  spiritual values ..

His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has made an attempt  following the instructions and directions of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur,  to use the educational systems of the Vedas and help establish the world as it should be . A world free from the ignorance that currently saturates the main educational systems and that presents scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis by  ignoring many  simply observed and clear objective sciences . First-class administrators of society will always listen to the genuine intelligensia who are realised in scientific  objective knowledge of all kinds . Thus, they’re realised in consciousness studies and human conditioned psychology. Scientific dualism brings us all to the correct approaches to life and naturally takes into account ” self-evident truths “. The rights of all persons within all cultures and knowledgeable interpretations of geopolitical affairs and socio-political sciences. Those who realise these truths have the responsibility to point out  cheating rascal political classes , who listen to global masters of a different kind . The political leaders must decide who their masters really are , and they must sensibly conclude they are not  the global conglomerates , heartless businessmen can never lead men or set policies for them . In  forming ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami has brought worldwide attention to Gaudia Vaisnavism,  which sets the tone for both social and spiritual mobility for every culture . The Vedas has been brought to light in a modern setting . Further developments of its practical suggestions and instructions are developing that could be applied and that are appropriate for time place and circumstance can be practically considered and are appealing. The Vedic ideal  that everyone can live in a harmonized atmosphere where differences are respected and facilities that everyone needs, including the creatures of the earth , can be easily obtained are not so difficult to realise for sane persons of cultured  disposition. Unity in diversity , as well as any discord being harmonized , is  the Vedic gift for all cultures . This vision is based on the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad Gita , as well as the eighteen puranas that bring natural and systematic education for every different type of persons and allowances for their particular conditionings  . The psychological position of the ethereal subtle consciousness of all beings is taken into account  within the eighteen Puranas.  Thus, men of goodness , passion, and ignorance are offered facilities , and systematic progressive lives are delivered for one and all . This naturally allows for the specific needs of a ” multicultural ” society , where differences can be lived out in harmony.

Some people may openly criticize ISKCON, or Gaudia Vaisnava societies , and immature thinkers probably dont understand the significance of their work and their long-term vision. When initially creating  structures naturally also problems can be created that’s to be expected especially in young institutions.   Every family has to face problems and learn to deal with them and learn from them . Living in the material world with spiritual ideals will naturally create puzzles.   Critical Vaisnava thinking  based on Gaudia Vaisnavism , can solve  management and governance issues . We can naturally understand that in creating the great worldwide family of ISKCON for instance from scratch , and in such  unprecedented ways , with unprecedented preaching   carried out all over the world , the ongoing  complexities of the management of such a  ginormous family will remain with us . Good governance means to  address issues in the best possible ways and follow in the footsteps of our param para traditions in all the spiritual tattvas . There are set methods of arriving at such fundermental  conclusions of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s teachings . Social problems are certainly not unique to ISKCON or any Gaudia Vaisnava group or any spiritual organisation .  Bringing the greatest benefits of the Vedic cultures to the world , and ultimately knowledge of Krishna consciousness ,  is a  matter of urgency .

Traditional ashrams or religious cultures , generally have  women and men within their own settings .The Nuns and Monks live separately all over the world . Family life was  absent, and their interactions with society were limited.

In creating ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , following the Devi Varna Ashram that Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has suggested,  Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur had the vision that the whole world should be given the opportunity to practice Krishna consciousness together .Every varna and every ashram should be included in the spiritual renaissance movement of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.  Prabhupada’s ISKCON society has successfully brought Krishna consciousness opportunities to one and all in very practical ways all over the world, and it continues to successfully develop in many ways .

If Prabhupada had created traditional Ashram systems , many aspects of society would not have been included in a  cultivation of Krishna consciousness , it is Mahāprabhu’s desire that everyone is included. Currently, the mission of the Gaudia Vaisnavas is influencing and  growing in all of the varnas and ashrams of the world.

Earlier days  in ISKCON were very blissful and revolutionary  but particularly difficult in many respects . Young inexperienced leaders had a lot of responsibilities , and many couldn’t manage well . Consequences of failure can be problematic , but we can not assume the utopian dream that all is rosey as soon as someone walks into an ashram . Persons have come to learn and unlearn the bad habits of material life . Risks are there in any organisation, and every organisation is now managing risks a lot better .

Certainly, Prabhupada, through his preaching method, has opened up the whole world . Every single aspect of society can now access a Krishna consciousness experience , and the success of his mission is astounding . He built a home the whole world could live in , and this will come to pass in many, many ways.

Take a close look at the conclusions of Vedic cultures centred around all important and scientifically verifiable dualism, i.e ., mind , matter, and consciousness as entirely separated energies . This objective science is clearly demonstrated in numerous ways . When this scientific truth is realised , as opposed to the untruths of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , the world will pivot back to living in simpler ways . When one scientifically and spiritually knows of the eternal nature of consciousness then naturally one will change lifestyles and set different goals for oneself,  priorities will change and a defined respect for self-evident truth of rights of all beings comes to the forefront. Exploitation on a global scale by rampant out and out wokeists and atheistic philistines will fade away, and localised economies will thrive based on the needs of nation states.  Having witnessed the continual and on going mass exploitation of the majority of countries and their peoples , including killing and pillaging,  and having seen the hypocritical touting of “freedom ” spouted by the fake political classes , who are in reality puppies under the control of leading globalist conglomerates who sponsor political parties,  and who sing the narratives of  ” free market economics” , whilst establishing major financial institutions and monopolies of all kinds , the wise are wising up , and its known of spiritual dualism bringing the revolution . Exacting spiritually thought out science of consciousness,  its  in all beings , and the Christians , Islamic scholars and the Jewish priests have to also realise these truths .  Should one conclude the world is full of materially “educated ” fast talking and  eloquently spoken persons who are in reality fools ?  Having no idea of  consciousness or its origins ?
Richard Feynman was a very smart fellow with a mediocre IQ level . He intelligently noted that you could have a pocket full of PhD s and be a complete unthinking idiot. How right he was .
The Vedas speak of  persons called ‘ maya prakrita jnana ‘ persons whose intelligence is stolen by illusion..and pride accompanied by arrogance..

We note Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada never allowed any ISKCON funds to enter the gambling den of the stock , commodities, or currency markets, rather always in the bank where money belongs traditionally. It should be noted that banks should be localised and assist with local economics only  Over the last hundred years the financial institutions have gotten out of hand , causing the rise and fall of currency and all important commodities. The Vedic Culures would never allow the crooked and cheating insider dealing environment to flourish and would return to traditional banking and utalising peoples wealth to assist local economies .Fools making lots of money is dangerous,  they do foolish dangerous things with money , like planning overthrows of leaders of countries , so they pillaging can occur for global conglomerates . Financial traders are self-regulating and crooked and have been allowed free reign . They are  responsible for financial instabilities and cheating in  trading within international markets .
The Vedic Culures would turn the tables as much as Jesus did in the temple compounds. Society needs to be turned around , the honest, open hearted and pure philosophically minded intelligentsia will and are changing the world through scientific dualism , and self-evident truths .
http://www.thevedicspectator.com

Traditional Vedic theological cultures , including Gaudiya Vaisnavism along with its established tattva , cannot be changed by young libertine populism , rather deliberations or applications of any of the tattvas in any circumstances are always carefully left to the self realised souls and pure scholars and would be only applied only to further the teachings of the previous acaryas and the param para .

tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta
jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam.

Translation
Therefore any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master and take shelter of him by initiation. The qualification of the bona fide guru is that he has realized the conclusions of the scriptures by deliberation and is able to convince others of these conclusions..

Risking risking risking

In matters of love sometimes, even in this world, people risk everything . Although in this world, love is somewhat tainted with self-interest. Generally, we see the  illusion of love , as  lust to be an enjoyer , or profit maker or a sole beneficiary activities  self-centred calculations to one degree or another . Such is the state that’s  always present in the heart of a person conditioned by the material energies.  Who is acting  without any self-interest in this world?  Different degrees of love mixed with lust and self interests are exhibited in this world. The love between the mother and the child is very pure, relatively speaking, for instance , an unmotivated sacrifice for the happiness of the child is the mother’s position .
Nevertheless, in the purest of a spiritual sense, Srila BR Sridhar Swami gives the example of the purest of pure love , and he cleverly termed it ” All risk no gain.” In the material world, we hear of no risk, no gain .But all risk no gain ?
The residents of Vrndavana who are described by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and who are eternally participating in Krishna lila , those who are in the topmost realms of spiritual love , that is ever expanding and feels ever new , that are centred around the love of Srimati Radharani exibits toward Krishna,  assisted by  all of her close associates , demonstrate the highest of the highest principles of spiritual ecstatic love . They risked everything for love .  When Krishna “left them” and supposedly Vrndavana , their hometown ,  they thought everything of their invested  love was lost. still, they never gave up on their unalloyed love, and their feelings for Krishna were increasing more and more . Even though He had appeared externally to reject or disappoint them .Their motivations were only ever to satisfy and to remain satisfying  the emaculate senses of Krishna . In doing so, they had risked everything and remained hankering and risking everything of their reputations  for Krishna, thinking of Him twenty four hours daily , in their  unwavering sacrifice they were prepared in love to gain nothing . In their extreme separation from the object of their love , their hearts were and remained the supreme abode of  pure love . It seemed they had risked and risked but that everything in the relationship was finished and they had lost everything . In their supreme separation, however, there  was still  the hope against hope , this kept them alive and enthusiastic in love .
Thus in our spiritual life Srila BR Sridhar Swami says , we are risking risking risking but we do not feel we have gained our goal , and never feel we have done enough in our services to Divinity or that we have truely gotten Krishna.
Such is the path of pure spiritual love .The humble hearts of the residents of Vrndavana whose inner state of mind is revealed by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.
On the rooftops of Mathura having left Vrndavana,  Krishna Himself wept tears of love, and indeed, His separation was even more difficult to bear for Him , He felt a pain that his lovers were in pain .  Remembering the pure love of Srimati Radharani and Her friends  Krishna  thought He could never pay back such the sacrifice of their  hearts . The spiritual truth of pure unmotivated love between God and His devotees is delineated in the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam and greatly elaborated upon by Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has come to reveal this mystery of all risk, no gain , and union in separation and separation in union 

Smriti and Sruti.

In the teachings of Gaudia Vaisnavas, the Smriti must follow the Sruti , otherwise, it is not Smriti.
The supposed Smriti of the smarta Brahminical classes or the Smriti of the impersonal philosophers is not to be classed as Smriti .The Smriti per se are paths that lead genuinely to the spiritual world. They are directly windows to the spiritual worlds .The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas follow Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s Smriti as well as Srila Jiva Goswami and Srila Sanantana Goswami plus all the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas in param para from them .

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates we have two lives, or bodies , our receding material consciousness and present body that is tainted with lust ,anger , greed , envy, and illusion and our spiritual personalities and a body  that is  developing side by side . The spiritual sciences of how they develop and decline are given by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana . A spiritual life is based on the development of a spiritually and mentally conceived spiritual body that is achieved through the process of Sadhana and Ragganuga Bhakti . Our efforts are important and gradually the process of  different yoga practices , such as  karma, jnana , niskarma karma , and trancendental astanga, and ultimately pure Bhakti Yoga transforms one’s consciousness , and the next body is forming side by side of the existing one .

This perfection , however, is achieved only by the krpa ( mercy ) and blessings  of our acayas , the pure devotees, and ultimately the holy name, which is the means and end of spiritual life .
Automatically, our blissful kind nature comes forth more and more, and we free ourselves from the mundane materalistic concepts and always find ourselves absorbed in relishing and remembeing Krishna lila in one form or another.. Mahāprabhu associates demonstrated that, and Mahāprabhu practically teaches it .
So two bodies , one must supercede the other in time . In  so doing  , sometimes the devotees can be initially cold as they defend themselves from mayas’ influences, but they warm up bit by bit until fully on fire in their truely blissful lives .then all their characteristics become  sublime .
Titiksava karunikah

The mysterious conditions of action in inaction ,and  inaction in action are discussed by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita.

The more influential a person is , and those influences are fluctuating according to many conditions and trends of the day , in a highly moral setting an immoral person is ignored and likewise in a highly immoral settings a moral person is ignored.  With the current state of the world, immoral and highly materialistic persons have control over all kinds of influential tools, which are stamping their mark deep into the impressions of everyone’s psychological states . We can also say scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has greatly helped with the concept of one life one death no God,  do as you will .However,  the Vedas brings us the reality of the responsive universe , and bear in mind some physicists wont disagree , especially those who study quantum mechanics.  What you might do and might say and that affects others in various ways is your responsibility , the Vedas says , and the effects that are felt by others remain with you . Ultimately ,in many unforseen ways, the universal order is at work. There are many witnesses the Vedas say unbeknown to everyone , the Demigods , the Upadevas ,  who have ways and means of making observations are described in the Vedas . The observer effects in the realms of quantum mechanics can be considered , any interaction with matter has effects well beyond an immediate cause and effect . Ultimately, Divinity Himself is situated within the hearts and minds of all , He is the supreme witness and the best of listeners and the best advisors . Trancendental life entails  becoming free from any of the good and bad actions that bind one to the material energies . Although good is good and better than bad , it’s still not a trancendental action . In trancendental activities good can be bad and bad can be good . That needs to be understood  with trancendental maturity . Krishna explains all in His Bhagavad Gita.

Acting exclusively for the pleasure of the Lord and His associates is something written of in the Vedas and learned from a pure devotee who is completely free from the universal cyclic cycles.

Bhagavad Gita gives the summary of this science of freedom from action .
Krishna says .
” One who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is wise among beings.”

Be sure …

Be sure you are being influenced by the right influencer .

So many seek to influence us for their own selfish interests , and many claim to know the truth of any given topic .
How do they know they know .

What is their epistemology, or what are their motives  importantly what is their state of heart .

Bhagavad Gita indicates the symptoms of true expression and the qualities of those that express it .

Living objectively is important, but also accessibility to a super subjective realm and an origin of absolute truth is an essential , the Vedas indicates. .

Love and lust

The most essential feeling a child must have is love ..

Its the inherant nature of consciousness to love and be loved .

The origins of these feelings stem from Divinity…
The further one strays from Divinity , love turns to lust .
The lust to be an independent enjoyer, it’s an artificial and impossible position.
Divinity Himself is the supreme autocrat and the most giving of all  persons , when it comes to love, no one can give more or receive more . Although some say in trancendental truths that the Supreme Goddess of fortune is the supreme giver and recipient of love , and that Krishna Himself is always searching searching searching after Radharani.  There is an eternal competition of love taking place , and Hare Krishna means “an exchange of love “

That’s the Vedic way….to learn to love and accept love ..

The people, in general , of all makeups  , need guidance in multiple ways to navigate their way through life . They somewhat rely on past ancestry from various histories , as well as Sciences of many kinds and, of course, theological cultures. If one examines carefully the history of law , justice, and social sciences , the Vedas are an  integrel part of a complete and wholesome society. Perfect guidance and direction for all social groups are within the Vedas ,the Vedas brings both social and spiritual mobility for all . Governance and compliance systems for administrations are within the broad-based teachings.  Theological and philosophically driven culture ,are based on dualism,  an understanding of consciousness and body as two entirely different energies with natures laws only affecting the body .Without dualism , humanity decends into the animal kingdoms , and humans can be termed as  sophisticated animals without knowledge of dualism.
Thus, in Vedic culture , progressive life includes an element of conservation of essential culture,  governance and compliance are seriously taken , but an element of freedom and democracy are also  within its system as well as autocratic authorities.
Every successful person leads disciplined lives, of course , that goes without saying . Freedom needs to be understood carefully . Otherwise, in the name of freedom , one can be  helplessly bound in degrading circumstances.
The world of dualism is a reality, and scientific materialism is an illusion of a speculative hypothesis. Thus, sciences are essential for us to clearly understand life’s potential. A clear understanding leads one in an entirely different direction
Thus .
Albert Einstein said .
“Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.”
The thoughtful person understands his meaning…

In philisophical and theological calculations , it’s a matter of understanding the essential intricacies of a binding that brings freedom or a  freedom that hopelessly binds one .

Never the twain shall meet….but they can be properly utilised.

The West favours  conglomerate liberalisation , democracies led by and influenced by businessmen who see profits as more important than traditional cultures . Theologically and philosophically  led  and aligned with dualism are countries like  Russia, China, and of course India, and many other countries .
Scientific materialism leads to animalistic tendencies, and society becomes no more than sophisticated animals, who are completely ignorant of consciousness and its full potential.
Objective sciences gives us a clear indication that life is no chance accidental affair , there is much evidence of an intelligent design, and the depth of purpose that the humans can begin to understand is quite clear and easy to grasp . When societies are led by the intelligentsia and not fast buck businessman who are clueless in philisophical matters or how to guide and run society , people will regain their inherant happiness and wise up .
