  • Surrender…..servant of the senses , the fickle mind or declining intellect,  or servant of God .

    Mar 6th, 2026

    Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has outlined these six principles of surrender as a yard stick of devotion,  to check ourselves and to serve as a reminder to us all of of the process of approach to Divinity.  Its not a mere sentiment but something very practical and awash with devotion,  unalloyed devotion is the only entrance to Vrndavana.

    Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates that we currently have two bodies,  the old conditioned one is bring left behind a spiritual body is forming one should be superseding the other when spiritual practices are properly in place . Everything must be redirected towards Krishna, and the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have taken that path . They have left their association in the form of their teachings, and their litratures are windows to the spiritual kingdoms. The current devotees are all on this path, and each helps each other to tread the path and stay on the path .

    Here is Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur instructions..

    srila bhaktivinoda thakura 6 principles

    +2

    Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura outlined six principles of surrender, known as Sharanagati, to the Supreme Lord in his 1893 book of the same name. These core principles are: 1) Humility (Dainya), 2) Self-dedication (Atma-nivedana), 3) Faith in Krishna as protector (Goptṛtve-Varaṇa), 4) Embracing the Lord as sole maintainer, 5) Executing only favorable actions for devotion (Anukulyasya sankalpaḥ), and 6) Rejecting unfavorable actions (Pratikulyasya varjanam). InstagramInstagram +2

    • 1. Dainya (Humility): Cultivating a humble state of mind, recognizing oneself as a servant of the Lord.
    • 2. Atma-nivedana (Dedication of the Self): Surrendering one’s body, mind, and soul to Krishna.
    • 3. Goptṛtve-Varaṇa (Acceptance of the Lord as Protector): Having firm faith that Krishna will protect and shelter the devotee.
    • 4. Acceptance of the Lord as Maintainer: Depending entirely on the Lord for all necessities.
    • 5. Anukulyasya sankalpaḥ (Accepting the Favorable): Adopting activities, thoughts, and habits that promote spiritual growth and devotion.
    • 6. Pratikulyasya varjanam (Rejecting the Unfavorable): Giving up actions and associations that hinder devotional service. 

    These six principles are considered essential for building a deep, intimate, and secure relationship with God.

  • Spiritual/material

    Mar 5th, 2026

    We can understand from the Vedas that Divinity is the energetic source , the Supreme Brahman, Brahman is categorized as the superior spiritual energies , marginal spiritual energies, and inferia spiritual energies.Krishna is the supreme Brahman but because His energies are unlimitedly distributed in incomprehensible ways , Srila Jiva Goswami says they are all addressed as Brahman.  An example is given that electricity can be used to heat or cool , likewise all categorized energies are spiritual , even so called material,  for Krishna or His pure devotees , everything is Gods pure energies . When used purely, the so-called matter does not limit the spiritual person . Indeed, Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita, ” One who sees me in everything and everything in me I am never lost to him he is never lost to me . There is a verse that says ” The moon is covered by the cloud but by the light of the moon the clouds can be seen ” Material energies can directly connect to the spiritual since they originate from the same source. The Vedas, along with its many mantras , names, and descriptions of Divinity , along with its complete wisdom of all energies , all stem from the supreme superior source , the supreme Brahman Krishna. Divinity is reaching down , making connections , bringing the spiritual wisdom to those who are in maya , and maya means forgetfulness . We should be confident the Lord has multiple methods in place for communication and clear insights about Himself . By way of examples,  great scientific thinkers , philosophically minded people,  artists, and musicians will all speak about the curious powers of inspiration and gaining insights.

    Divinities energies work in very wonderful ways . Although the gross body has many limits , the mind , intellect , and especially consciousness are much more closely connected to the soul .

    Thus, although the moon is covered by the cloud , but  by the light of the moon , the clouds are seen . Similarly, although our consciousness is hazy, unpredictable, and fluctuating in so many ways , it’s by the original soul that all its fragility is detectable . Our consciousness is like original pure light travelling through coloured , broken , and somewhat strangely shaped class , giving us many distorted impressions.  The names of Divinity and the wisdom of the Vedas , that Divinity allows us to understand put our broken and distorted impressions back in their original intended state . In that state, everything becomes clear, and an understanding of Divinity is revealed. Soul on soul vision and experiences ,and not consciousness passing through atoms , elements, and compounds within a distorted subtle ethereal world .

  • Irresistibly drawn toward .

    Mar 5th, 2026

    Incalculable trancendental love  of Vraja-prema.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Maha mantra .

    Mar 4th, 2026

    Srila Gour Govinda Swami was fond of referring to the Caitanya Caratamrita wherein its stated that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has infused the names with Vraja prema  pure love of God , ..and He  garlanded the whole world , in other words everyone can access and experience easily pure blissful love .
    Srila Jiva Goswami in the Tattva Sandarbha says Lord Krishna accepts names  given to Him by His devotees . He accepts  names because of the Bhakti or devotion  of His devotees. Mahāprabhu chanted many names of God , which He had accepted, when He appeared   He enthuses them all with prema Rasa of Vrndavana.
    So , although the names of God when chanted purely have always brought relationships  with God  ,when  Mahāprabhu came , He revealed the most perfect of all spiritual relationships , the most perfect of all perfects . This trancendental experience is exhibited by the residents of Vrndavana, and they are all  situated in pure spontaneous love free from any  awe and reverence. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu brought newer and newer meaning to what it means to love God . He revealed all the mysteries of pure love and how to understand simply by chanting the names of God purely. Chanting is the means and the end of spiritual perfection the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas say .The Pranaya of Manjari bhava , the servants of Srimati Radharani has been revealed, its they who understand the supreme abode of love , the heart of Srimati Radharani . Such intimacies are  revealed through the process of chanting the names , this is the essence of Mahāprabhu’s teachings . Through the nine fold processes of  devotion that are written by Srila Rupa Goswami , from the Srimad Bhagavatam and Pralada Maharaja’s teachings which begin with and end in chanting and meditations of Radha Krishna lila , everything is understood.
    Our acaryas give indications of the newly enthused and spiritually surchanged and old Maha  Mantra .  With Hare Krishna coming first , instead of Hare Rama first . The competition of the love between the Radha Krishna of Vrndavana is revealed , but in their most perfect parakiya Rasa .
    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu chanted Hare Krishna and also many other names of God .  Through the teachings of Mahaprabhu to Rupa Ragganatha and the Goswami’s of Vrndavana this Maha Mantra meditation has been revealed. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami made efforts to formalise and regulate , the methods of regulated chanting . Srila Ragganatha das set an example and chanted in scheduled ways , as did Haridas Thakur.
    Srila BR Sridhar Swami says the above …in regards to some historical information.


    Commenting on this enigma, Srila Sridhara Deva Gosvami Maharaja has stated as follows:

    “The real importance of the Name is not to be found merely in the arrangement of its syllables, but in the deep meaning within that divine sound. Some scholars argue that in the Kali-santarana Upanisad, Lord Brahma says that the Hare Krsna maha-mantra is properly pronounced only when the Name of Rama precedes the Name of Krsna:

    hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare
    hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare

    “In the Kali-santarana Upanisad, the Hare Krsna maha-mantra is given in that way. But to say that the Name of Rama must precede the Name of Krsna in the mantra is a superficial understanding.

    “It is said that because it comes from the Upanisads, the Hare Krsna mantra is a Vedic mantra, and therefore, because the ordinary people may not have any entrance into Vedic mantras, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu readjusted this mantra by reversing the order of the words. In that way, it is said that the concern that it is a Vedic mantra is thereby cancelled, and so Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave it to all persons without breaching the injunctions of the Vedas. Some devotees in Uttar Pradesh who have great affection for Sri Caitanyadeva like to give this opinion. But  Srila BR Sridhar Swami faith says  that the mentioning of ‘Hare Rama’ first is only superficial. It concerns the idea that since the Rama avatara appeared first and the Krsna avatara afterwards, the Name of Rama, ‘Hare Rama,’ should come first in the maha-mantra.’

    “A deeper reading will consider that when two similar things are connected together, the priority will be ordered not on the basis of historical precedent, but in consideration of the most highly developed conception. The Holy Name of Krsna is higher than the Holy Name of Rama. This is mentioned in the Puranas: three Names of Rama equal one Name of Krsna.’

    “The Name of Krsna is superior to the Name of Rama. Where the two are connected together, the first position should be given to the one that is superior. Therefore, the Name of Krsna must come first in the maha-mantra. This is one point.’

    “Another point is that within the eternal plane, everything is moving in a cyclic order. In an eternal cycle, which is first and which is next cannotbe ascertained, and so, in the eternal plane of lila, it cannot be determined whether Krsna is before Rama or Rama is before Krsna So, from that consideration also, since the Names of Krsna and Rama are eternal and unrelated to any historical event, we may begin the mantra from any place.’

    “But above these considerations, our sampradaya has given another, higher consideration. A deeper understanding will reveal that the Hare Krsna mantra is not at all concerned with rama-lila.’

    “In the Name of Rama within the Hare Krsna mantra, the Gaudiya Vaisnavas will find Radha-ramana Rama. That means, ‘Krsna, who gives pleasure (raman) to Srimati Radharani.’ In our conception, the Hare Krsna mantra is wholesale Krsna consciousness, not Rama consciousness.’

    “Sri Caitanya’s highest conception of things is always svayam bhagavan, krsna-lila, radha-govinda-lila. That is the real purpose of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s advent and teachings. In that consideration, the Hare Krsna mantra does not mention the rama-lila of Ayodhya at all. There is no connection with that in the highest conception of the Hare Krsna mantra.’

    “And the inner conception of the mantra is responsible for our spiritual attainment. When one pronounces the Name of Rama, if he means Dasarathi Rama, his attraction will take him there, to Ayodhya; if he means Parasurama, he will be attracted to another place. And if Rama means Radha-ramana Rama, he will go to Goloka. The inner conception of the devotee will guide him to his destination.” (Loving Search For The Lost Servant) of their devotion.

    Mahāprabhu chanted many names of God , which He accepts and enthuses with Rasa .
    So although names of God when chanted purely have always brought relationship with God , however Mahāprabhu has given new meaning , the Pranaya of Manjari bhava and the abode of love Srimati Radharani is somewhat revealed , through the names that Mahāprabhu has accepted.
    Our acaryas give indication of the newly enthused and changed order of the Maha mantra. With Hare Krishna first , and the Radha Krishna of Vrndavana revealed , in their most perfect Rasa .
    So Mahāprabhu chanted Hare Krishna and many other names , but through Rupa Ragganatha and the Goswami’s taught this Mantra ….and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami made efforts to formalise and regulate , also Srila Ragganatha das chanted in scheduled ways , as did Haridas Thakur.

  • Everything is complete, literally.

    Mar 4th, 2026

    Nature as a whole, including the laws its functioning within, is totally and naturally complete.

    This Verse indicates this undeniable and objective truth.

    oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
    pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
    pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
    pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate

    Translation

    The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance

    Completeness does not just refer to nature but also the consciousness within nature .  Each particle of consciousness is enacting specifically , and to order , it’s just exactly what it’s destined and empowered to carry out . Specific functions , the specific skill sets, and inclinations are predestined they have been given by nature . There is a science , a Vedic social science , of how each of the members can uniformly interact with other particles of consciousness in beneficial ways . Divinity makes such  arrangements. Human society is obviously more complicated on the psychological levels, and the smooth running of it with essential social cohesion is essential. Part of the completeness of nature is the natural occupations that individuals are inclined to do can easily knit together in ways that create both social and spiritual mobility.

    It’s essential that this already in place natural cohesion is not disturbed or put out artificially out of balance. Nature will  always balance itself out in time , but sometimes, the unthinking upsets the natural balance of nature and also of all the different types of societies , including the societies of creatures .

    The make up of all things and knowledge of the great societal jigsaw are understood by the Brahminical intelligentsia and the Vipras . That means those highly evolved souls who clearly understand scientifically mind , matter, and consciousness and they gather the appropriate scholars and administrators who can work alongside them for the greatest benefit of all .

    Society remains complete when the heads of society are members of the intelligentsia who are working with the correct Vipras and administrators. As the above verse indicates , nature , meaning Divinity has provided them all . In current times, however, unqualified persons step up  proudly to take various roles in society they are not qualified to do, and they consequently cancel out those who are . These upstarts create havoc and create many many  imbalances within society ,  within nature , and within the animal kingdoms as well as the living  environment as a whole , which it pollutes and poisons,  including foods .

    Ultimately, the completness in society and nature will naturally rebalance itself , and this is the history of the world . Empires come and go over and over , actually, the whole of the universe works in cyclic ways in order to rebalance affairs , so on a micro and macro scale, nature and society are rebalanced.  Birth and death and rebirth again are enacting the very   same process.

  • Oil in oil or oil in water .

    Mar 4th, 2026

    From the one comes the many.

    To consider  fundamental Vedic truths, one could begin by looking at evidence that can be practically examined . The supreme Brahman has become many , and His energies , which are also Brahman, permeate everywhere , this is the statement of the Vedas.  Nothing is separate from the supreme Brahman . For instance , we can examine microbial intelligence , of course, microbes are living ,  but what do we mean by living ?  Living means there must be a display of intelligence , studies  have  been conducted of microbes and their specific behaviour . Its been recorded that they exhibit defensive behaviour and make choices for the best option . The growth of plants and trees have been similarly studied , plant life  work their way around objects that block their path , and they even respond to music in positive ways . These witnessed examples of intelligence are totally baffling to those who advocate scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis. Only the Vedas gives the logical and rational answer, which sre objectively  observed . Intelligence comes from intelligence . Life comes from life . There is no way to avoid the obvious .  Biologically and chemically , molecules don’t move towards life . Coded information instilled and transmitted by consciousness brings molecules together.
    The Vedic description of the source of everything and everyone ,  two different features of Brahman , are  manifested by the supreme Brahman ,and this is clearly described and explained  as personal . From one energetic personal source comes the many fragments , and each is facilitated accordingly . The separated energies are different from their source and dependent on the original source , but at the same time, one with it , so non different  .The energetic source also expands infinite amounts of multifarious energies that support the consciousness particles . Their karmic synchronicities and their wonderings within matter are automatically and personally taken care of . These energies are described in the Vedas as being superior,  marginal , and inferior in nature . Everything about energy is eternal , even material energies are so , but they transform , nothing is lost , this is so because the energies origins are from the eternal. The spiritual superior energy remains unchanged.
    The incalculable complexities , and we can say mysterious workings , of the material energies can be and should be easily seen and recognised for what they are , as for example , one acorn tree , in its life how many acorns will it produce ? and within each acorn, how many more trees are present ? They are totally baffling to atheistic scientific thinkers, and they remain clueless . Although pumping out propaganda they they are close to understanding everything and cheating sciences .
    Everything within nature is interconnected and originated from one one source that has the ability to manifest specifically in measured ways throughout the universe.

    These arrangements are, of course , far too complex to be happening by chance random and unguided mutations within nature , or within a chance explosion that fell into place perfectly .We have a creative intelligence and mind , and so does God , God of the gaps, arguments always avoid the mind and intelligence,  an energy that is clearly manifested . There are also  manifested  laws of nature , gravitational forces , radiation at specific strengths , and electromagnetic energies, which are precisely in order , any variations would halt all life entirely.  The proud atheistic persons put common sense and a sense of rationale to one side and deliberately practice psychological cancel culture. The cancellation of logic to suit an atheistic agenda.
    Mutational math modelling is never presented by the Darwinians.
    If one understands scientific dualism that clearly illustrates mind , matter, and  consciousness , one can then begin to understand  the responsive universe and its purpose and source . The universe is a reflection of something substantial . The substantial reality remains ,  while reflections come and go .
    The parallels within the Vedas are  “the many possibilities in the world of quantum physics,” where entrapped and attached consciousness particles carry themselves endlessly within the cyclic cycles of the commings and goings of universal affairs , by their consciousness and desire .They get what they want to be life after life .
    Each pleasure seeking particle of consciousness is on a journey to find satisfaction, but they are never really satisfied by atoms , elements, or compounds , or  being entrapped within a flickering mind and a limited intellect that tries to exploit such energies.
    Consciousness needs to be surrounded by pure conscious energies . Like oil within oil , currently we are oil within water .

  • Poor administration and unprotected citizens

    Mar 3rd, 2026

    The fact that young people all over the Western world can not afford to purchase a house or rent one is telling why should that be ? Whose interest is it in , certainly not the hard-working young . This is not due to the karma of the young  per se. It is due to a fixed and deliberately manipulated market by bankers and financial institutions and governments who assist them . Lobbying is common practice, and companies donate large amounts to political parties . Democracies have become infiltrated and corrupted.
    In Vedic cultures, finance institutions are not free to manipulate the systems how they please so as to increase profits and make life hard for others . This type of Darwinian economics of ruthless survival of the fittest was unheard of in Vedic administrative bodies. Rather, financial institutions need to be firmly under the jurisdiction of the intelligentsia who employ the Vedic system of fairness in all transactions in  financial and trading matters . Creating fixed markets along with fixed monopolies is not healthy for societies in so many obvious ways . When house prices and rents are balanced, the economy greatly increases because income is distributed much more widely within the greater economies instead of being funnelled into greedy bankers , financial institutions, and major builders . That is the Vedic way … Administrative bodies were told to enact and legislate according to fair play , ethics, and morality by the intelligensia . Such an intelligensia instilled into the administrative bodies the needs of societies . These intelligensia would see to it everyone’s needs were met materially,  philosophically, and scientifically based on an individuals consciousness needs  along with mindfulness developments  . Administrative bodies are to protect societies and their peoples and not to protect businesses men and in  so doing  give a licence to limit suppliers of housing , or limit social housing units or have an absence of rent caps. High rents mean higher housing benefit costs to the government.

  • The power of love .

    Mar 3rd, 2026

    A love that replenishes and further increases beauty

    Today, in the Gaudia Vaisnava calendar, we celebrate the power of love . It was Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu who had appeared with the desire to relish the inner heart of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani . Her love for Krishna was astoundingly beautiful and mysterious for Krishna Himself , so He desired to know what it was about Himself that Srimati Radharani was relishing and He desired to know  the ultimate depths of Her feelings that She had for Him .

    Srimati Radharani knows everything of the glorious characteristics of Krishna , along with his increasing beauty and blissful nature , She is forever and increasingly attracted to His beauty . However, although His   beauty reaches its limits in Radharani , Krishna, in the next moment expands His beauty driven by Srimati Radharani’s love , so again and again it expands and His attractions increase again , and accordingly, Srimati Radharani’s love increases again and again , thus anandabuddhi vardanam,  the ever increasing ocean of trancendental bliss is described driven by love attractions and further love and attractions with no limits in the ever new spiritual realms .

    Love means to fully know someone, and without any personal motive, continue loving them , this love of Srimati Radharani is depicted in the last verse of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu Siksastakam .

    I know no one but Krsna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, but He is always my worshipful Lord, unconditionally”.

  • Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu

    Mar 3rd, 2026

    For those that wondered about the goals and purposes of ISKCON or any Gaudia Vaisnava movement , their purposes are to teach and serve the interests of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
    In the Caitanya Caratamrita , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has clearly defined all his purposes , each one as important as the other because in Vedic culture the peripherals always connect to the cor .Those who seek to disconnect them or to minimise the importance of any of them or who think the cor goal is not for them do not understand the Sankirtana movement. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given in His conversion with Ramananda Roy everything we need to know of Mahāprabhu’s intentions.
    The reasons are also discussed in the Caitanya Caratamrita.
    reasons for Mahāprabhu decent

    “The reasons for His descent are categorized into internal (confidential) and external (preaching mission) causes:
    Confidential/Internal Reasons
    According to the Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Lord Kṛṣṇa desired to understand Himself from the perspective of His supreme devotee, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī:

    To Relish Rādhārāṇī’s Love: Kṛṣṇa, as the source of all pleasure, wanted to experience the profound, unalloyed love that Rādhārāṇī feels for Him.
    To Taste His Own Sweetness: Kṛṣṇa wanted to know the immense sweetness of His own form that Rādhārāṇī relishes.
    To Experience Rādhārāṇī’s Happiness: He desired to feel the transcendental bliss that Rādhārāṇī experiences in her love for Him.
    Combined Form: To fulfill these desires, He accepted the golden complexion and sentiments of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, appearing as a combined form of Radha and Krishna , He appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
    The external reasoning is this ..
    “To Propagate Yuga-dharma (Sankirtana): The primary mission was to inaugurate the, religion for the age of Kali (yuga-dharma)—the congregational chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra.
    To Distribute Premā (Pure Love): He came to give what no other incarnation had ever offered before: the most sublime, unalloyed, and spontaneous love for God (Vraja-prema).
    To Teach Through Personal Example: By assuming the role of a devotee, He demonstrated the proper method of approaching and serving the Supreme Lord, showing the humility and dedication required.
    To Establish the Supremacy of Mādhurya-rasa: He preached that the highest level of devotion is to follow in the footsteps of the residents of Vṛndāvana (especially the gopīs), moving beyond formal, reverential worship. .

    Ww should know the external reasoning for Mahāprabhu’s decent and the practical implementation of it has been formulated by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami and has been expertly put in to operation by Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada who established it all over the world.

    The six Goswami’s of Vrndavana  have the mission originally chalked out .

    I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvāmīs, namely Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī, Śrī Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī, and Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.

    I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvāmīs, who are very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the revealed scriptures with the aim of establishing eternal religious principles for the benefit of all human beings. Thus they are honored all over the three worlds and they are worth taking shelter of because they are absorbed in the mood of the gopis and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.

    I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvāmīs, who are very much enriched in understanding of Lord Caitanya and who are thus expert in narrating His transcendental qualities. They can purify all conditioned souls from the reactions of their sinful activities by pouring upon them transcendental songs about Govinda. As such, they are very expert in increasing the limits of the ocean of transcendental bliss, and they are the saviors of the living entities from the devouring mouth of liberation.

  • Math is everything,  everything is math .

    Absolute math ..

    Is 1+1 always 2, of course, it is….. everyone will say , ….must be .

    Although if we consider the theoretical physicists considerations as well as the Vedic multidimensional spiritual realms , Divinity who is always accompanied by his associates , and never alone ,they are inside and outside , near or far ,  Divinity Himself is both universally gigantic or atomic in size . We can consider the laws of physics and how and why they act the way they do , as well where and  as who is  experiencing them . The multipolar Vedic universe has time and space operating at multiple levels . In this world, a Mayfly lives for twenty-four hours and the Redwood tree thousands of years . Space time is relative to where and who is experiencing it . In the world of dualism , of mind matter and consciousness , one set of laws affects one part of the equation but not the whole combination or the whole.  For instance,  when you dream at night, which  particular laws of nature  are at work ?.Dreaming is so real and connected that a man can pass semen as he embraces a women in his dream , but sometimes he is flying or living in the past or even future .
    In an absolute realm  , I+1=1 and 1 – 1 = 1 and 1+1 = 2
    These calculations are based on the Vedic aphorisms .

    Inconceivably and simultaneously oneness and difference of Divinity from his energies and his  particle expansions , this is the trancendental and absolute mathematical doctrine of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

    The hint is given that Divinity ,  who is the supreme energetic source of all energies , has multifarious variations of  energies functioning in multiple ways . Space time and the rate of the effects of time on a  particular set of atoms in one part of the universe , along with the radiation effects of the solar energies. The Vedas indicates that it is variable throughout the  multidimensional planes of existence with the billions of planets . Thus, the life span of the upadevas ,( junior demigods ) , or the demigods  themselves , or Lord Bramha, the head of the total universe, greatly differs .

    On an absolute plane , Divinity Himself is simultaneously one with everything , so 1+1 =1 ,  thus , He is  inside , outside , everywhere but nowhere , near but far , this indicates His  oneness of His existence. Quantum physics speaks of instant communication , so this very well illustrates the point , what one part of the universe is doing trillions of miles away the localised part knows immediately , Visnu is the universal existence in His universal form , He knows when a blade of grass is moving in one part of the universe although he is simultaneously trillions of miles away .

    Thus, the original source of consciousness lives in multiples  of dimensions both spiritually and material ,  He is not subjected to any material calculations. ….and ultimately,  neither are his particles of consciousness,  namely us , although in conditioned consciousness , we appear  totally subjected to material laws . Thus, although we are one with God, we also experience differently .We  can experience extreme differences in matter ,,Visnu is never affected by matter or subject to its laws .

    Thus , 1+1=2

    Divinity is  also 1- 1 = 1 .

    He remains as one when the material universes are brought to a close , everything entering back inside of Him , in His Maha Visnu form , all matter ,  along with all His  parts and parcels of consciousness.

    Einstein called aspects of quantum  physics as “spooky action at a distance,” which referred to one part of the universe knowing immediately what another part is doing, even  though trillions of miles apart ..

    The mechanistic Darwinian and those who consider scientific materialism as an absolute truth  have to take themselves out of their own limitations that they  impose upon themselves.    To be able to  consider  reality in real terms, the plane of consciousness needs understanding.  It’s a fact , for instance,  that only a tiny percentage of the light spectrum  is observed by humans , so what to speak of other  limitations imposed by a  conditioned mind and limited intellect.

    The limited can not calculate the unlimited except if the unlimited allows it to . If the unlimited could not allow the limited to know the unlimited, the unlimited would not be unlimited….

    By the  unlimited mercy of the unlimited the limited can know something of the unlimited.

    In Bhagavad Gita,  Krishna, after explaining plenty of details of the complete makeup of mankind  , consciousness, and material nature within a multidimensional universe, He had then  declared ,” This is just but a spark of My splendour “

    The Darwinian mantra for liberation could be .

    Math is everything . Everything is math ….
    If they chant this 1008 times per day .
    Their acceptance of subjective speculations may begin to subside, and objective sciences may become apparent to them if they keep chanting .😊
