What is your worldview ? Just how was it formed ? Who has helped shape it ? Generally, you’re going to find many influences , family , friends, an educational system, a philosophical leaning , theological pursuits , the arts . Etc, etc .One should ask oneself if the teachers and various other influences that have shaped your world veiw have been beneficial presenting things correctly or taking a deeper whether you may have been somewhat decieved and a fresh look is needed .
Many educated people think they are being objective for instance, when teaching science. Often, in reality, they look at the world and science through the prison of subjective conditioning , taught to them by other subjective teachers . Science always is to presented as objective facts and not subjective opinions of objective the facts .
When it comes to matters of philosophies and traditions , liberalism and conservation of family values or liberal democracies of lots of unqualified persons or the benefits of one good strong autocratic leaders working with his chosen team , much research is needed .
What is freedom and are freedoms harmful if taken to an extreme , and what are the extremes , and what are the extreams of autocracies .
Fortunately , a previously untapped source is currently available and that resource is increasingly available and increasing in volume , the Vedas .
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada started a revolution in altenative thinking , he began to present the Vedas , its touches on every topic, and brings a balanced perspective on all relevant matters .
No longer a society of the cheaters and the cheated , now everyone can see through everyone.
Theological texts contain a variety of different methods to make philosophical points. They have illustrative parables and allegorical stories demonstrating how various karmic synchronicities within universal affairs are working . The purpose is to demonstrate the effects of a particular action one might perform and a resultant outcome . Either an immediate outcome , a little later , or far into the future .This science of conscious action within the complex material energies both gross and subtle will that determine outcomes are incalculable and inconceivable . Because of being beyond the comprehension the atheistic draw the conclusion we cant understand it so , so its z chance event somehow driven by obscure laws of nature , thaf are also chance events . The idea of the theological sciences is to bring information to mankind and encourage ethics , morals and service attitudes whilst carrying out ones alloted duties . Ultimately ,the Vedas say everything one does should be carried out as a sacrifice to please Divinity.
Every decent and authentic law that’s passed by states around the world , one will most definitely find , has its origins in theologically sourced statements .
Not only laws , but the artists , authors , musicians, and philosophical thinkers , who demonstrate their forms of art and who illustrate the human condition , practically every lesson they seek to teach or communicate has already been expressed throughout theological literature , in one way or another . There is nothing really new or original to be said or understood , it’s all been said before , throughout histories, in much the same way and can be traced . That’s because the spirit of Divinity awards special insights to specific persons due to their previous pious activities .The wise are wise for a reason .
Thus, Vedic cultures and their various subsidiaries are complete in every way and extremely extensive . There is currently a revival underway and an unveiling of the different Vedas .
The Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani shows the example . Even in the material world, we find borrowed plumes , it is well known that the wife is the better half of the husband. She cares for the husbands welfare and brings compassion care and understanding into family affairs . In rendering services to one who is qualified , because of the extraordinary quality of love , dedication , and sacrifice, a greater pleasure is experienced for the giver of love , and the origins of this stem from the spirtual realms and Srimati Radharani. In Vedic Culture as well as other theological cultures, this true principle is taught, although today this is not understood as men seek to exploit the ladies and the ladies exploit the men , such is western liberal materialism based on sense pleasure , with little understanding of the cultivation of higher consciousness .
Men also have to play their part and become qualified and learn how to dutifully carry out all activities , along with the cultivation of qualities fitting of a real man who seeks to unite with a woman such as understanding how to set the perfect example for the family and also connecting to Divinity, which is the ultimate duty .
The idea that women should somehow not volunteer to take up this wonderful and educational role in family life giving themselves over to development of every aspect of family life , and they should only be career women , springs from misunderstanding of the women’s superior role that is so essential in societies , and in so doing, the family unit remains strong and especially the children benefit. Ignoring cultures , traditions, and instructive theological lessons, modern women are taught not to take up this submissive and cooperative roll , for fear of being used and not having opportunity for other interests , but in Vedic culture women ran communities and worked in so many ways . A ladies’ role is never inferior , but rather superior , and they were very much respected by men .
Having a service attitude in healthy ways toward those who value it is elevating and progressive.
So, in terms of the deeper consciousness and the experience of love with a soft heart and happily volunteer service, the heart of a woman is often superior to men .
For years, I have been walking through Bushey church , and one can not help but notice a particularly well maintained grave , surrounded by flowers and other paraphernalia . It always strikes me the 52 year old mother , whose grave it is , is still receiving love and good wishes from her family.
The Vedas recommends offering sacrifices to the Demigods on behalf of relatives who have left this world , for appeasing the Demigods and pleading on behalf of relatives will bring them good or better fortune to their departed relatives.
It’s highly beneficial in life to have friends, family, and well wishers . However, the greatest well wisher are the pure devotees of God , by their good wishes and directions, all inauspiciousness is removed from one’s turbulent life and karma is eradicated . By good fortune offered by them and by serving and enquiries to them , those greatest of well wishers , because of their intimate and pleasing services to Divinity have the power to have God listen to their wishes , thus by their grace we can be placed in the Spirtual realms. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja would say our duty is to satisfy the emaculate senses of Krishna.
Krishna is the supreme enjoyer and the jiva , the living entitles are the enjoyed , but as Srila Sridhar Swami often said better be a slave in heaven than a master of hell .
Actually, of course, in spiritual life, Krishna is not some kind of slave driver , rather, He wants to share His blissful nature with everyone , we should not be envious of His extraordinary presence and the fact that He is all attractive , but assist him volunteering ourselves eternally .
This is not a business arrangement , Krishna can do as He likes , He may or may not accept us , but if we approach the residents of Vrndavana and learn to please Him under their tutelage we have a good chance to be accepted , ultimately the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani is the Queen of Vrndavana and either directly or indirectly every thing is assisting in Her activities to please Krishna.

Our senses are on loan , their real purposes are only realised in pure devotion, Srila Rupa Goswami says in His Ujjvala Nilamani , one’s sthayi Bhava , one’s original attraction to Krishna , are motivated by spiritual sound , touch , form , taste , and fragrances of all that goes on in the Spiritual realms.
Everything begins with sound , spiritual sound , of Chanting the Names of God .
Abiogenisis, how can chemicals perfectly form and all come together to form the molecules essential for cellular life ?
Ask a synthetic chemist how difficult it to conduct synthetic chemistry, chemical combinations don’t just throw themselves together , perfect and precise careful processes are involved , heating , cooling , evaporation of impurities , to name but a few of the procedures . If they are not followed or brought to 100% purity, the synthetic chemistry and materials fall apart .
With that in mind, before any evolutionary process could begin, first the chemicals forming the molecular structures of the cells had be in place to form the amino acids , carbohydrates, nucleotides, and lipids . The process of chemistry , how chemicals combined so precisely , according to a Darwinian ,by chance random events , on an early earth , is not , in reality ,at all understood . Although the subjective Darwinian narrative promoting their scientific propaganda to the public , give the false impressions, chemical evolution is clear-cut objective science . This, in reality, is cheating science. Of course , truth is they are clueless , they do not know the relevant processes of how everything began , nor can they in their laboratories from scratch imitate the process . It requires extremely hard and complex chemistry to do synthetic chemistry , and on an early earth there were no laboratories where you could go and buy starting materials which could form the beginnings of a molecule, as synthetic chemists do today .
So, as well as trying to explain mutational math of an evolutionary process , before that could all even begin , the Darwinian has to explain how perfect chemical combinations by chance just threw themselves together .
Like evolutionary theory the abiogenisis and chemical evolutionary process is unknown, so everyone is clueless.
But , as we see codes and information in dna , similarly, the molecular structures like carbohydrates, etc , store and transmit information, each of these molecules are vital for the cell. No one can say where this information comes from .
Even in the atomic world , depending on how many protons in an atom determine the element it forms , gold ,carbon, iron, etc etc, each element has a particular number of protons.
Thus, throughout the whole of life with the chemicals and elements that supports it , we find orderly systems at work , in the atomic realm , the chemical realms , and the molecular realm , as well as the DNA codes that instuct the cells to make a particular body part and which form a particular body as a whole.
Krishna in Bhagavad Gita declares in many verses that He is that person responsible and is a perfect chemical, atomic , and molecular engineer, and Lord Bramha , His chief engineer, has within his body , given by Mahavishnu , the information consisting of , as we now know , the DNA structural information for the production all bodies required for the living beings .

TRANSLATION
Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be.
Lord Krishna knows of course very well the mentality of heavily conditioned souls , they like to ignore objective facts , their minds and intelligence go in to ” spin mode ” and in todays world the most wealthiest of them own media organisations , and have practically captured and currupted most politicians , many of who are not so smart .
Whenever we are faced with objective facts , or things we don’t like to hear or some educated opinions, we don’t want to accept , our tendency may be to switch off , switch over or bury our subjective minds elsewhere to run away from home truths
So Lord Krishna speaks absolute verifiable truths in His Bhagavad Gita , but the Darwinians shut their minds , the scientific materialist shut their doors , and the Globalists who run the world conglomerate companies have no brain for anything except money money money , to them it’s brighter than sunshine sweeter than honey , they care for nothing and will accept lies or truth , whatever gives the most financial rewards.
So we must know we live in a world of deceit , only the honest intelligensia can help us , such persons are within social , and by Krishna’s grace and by your good fortune you’ll be able to know them and be protected from the crooked .
Divinity is a multidimensional personality. He has expanded His energies into the trillions of universes. But He remains outside of them . He is in His fullness within every single atom along with His connections to His whole creation , but also simultaneously lives outside in His fullness . Thus, within the atoms are also trillions of universes and total existence . How can this be ? Once the engineer of this universe came to see Krishna , Krishna servant said Lord Bramha’s arrived , Krishna immediately said, “Which Bramha ? ” Bramha’s puzzlement at why Krishna asked this question was solved , when Krishna brought all the Bramha’s from millions of universes before Him , in the one room He was sitting in , some had thousands of ” heads ” some had less .
The third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, the chapter entitled the fundermental principles of material nature, there is a discussion on this topic, and one can delve into it the multidimensional personality of Krishna.
The principle of our limited senses are discussed, for instance we cannot see radio waves or certain frequency of light , we cannot hear certain sound pitches ,and generally we cannot read minds , although some people can .
The inconceivable and simultaneously oneness & difference of Divinity and His multidimensional existence should be accepted and contemplated , we should understand just how great God is and understand the energies and the energetic source . We, of course, can not expect that our insights and sence perception are the same as everyone’s , some persons have greater insights , and in Bhagavad Gita krishna who has the greatest of insights is telling us about them , our duty is to try to understand the inconceivable nature of Divinity, who expands his unlimited sweetness are stands before us like an ordinary person .
Protestant , Catholic , Suni , Shiiat , Zionist , Rabbi , Smarta Brahmana , of a cast system , or a brahmana by quality .
All the above categories of persons attempts to understand properly theologies can be properly thought of in context.
Not all men are at the stage of wanting pure devotional service to the Lord .
Some have devotional attitudes mixed with many other motives , political or personal , which are naturally reflected in the societies or specific religions societies adopt.
Birds of feathers flock together. The Vedas , being extremely broad, can incorporate all motivated persons as well as pure persons , put them into four categories, and bring relative connections between them all .
The categories are Karma yogis …jnana yogis …astanga yogis and pure Bhakti Yogis ..
Each of those four categories have followings, but such followers have many subdivisions that are based on snd according to their progress in disciplines and an individual abilities to absorb spiritual understanding to greater levels . The ultimate goal is pure dedication and devotion towards Divinity.
In Vedic Culures, the pure “person Bhagavat”, is the personification of the ancient Srimad Bhagavatam , such a person is in a Gaudia Vaisnava disciplic succession . Consequently, they are extremely well versed in the Vedas and take into account time place and circumstances when it comes to application of the Bhāgavatam . They will be able to give a thorough analysis of all topics within and relate them to contemporary times .
Krishna says in 7th chapter of Bhagavad Gita..
TEXT 16: O best among the Bhāratas, four kinds of pious men begin to render devotional service unto Me – the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.
TEXT 17: Of these, the one who is in full knowledge and who is always engaged in pure devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me.
TEXT 18: All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal
.TEXT 19: After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
TEXT 20: Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.
It’s absolutely vital to find a pure representative of God , the person Bhagavat . They can correctly assess someone who claims a purity ….there are many who pose as devotees who are actually demons or with mixed personal motives .
Thus, checks and balances are needed from . True Gurus , true saints, and theological texts that are correctly presented.
The pure teachers, both of a past and the present , along with the scriptures consisting of both the Sruti and Smriti understandings, will help us .
We should be able to ,with the help of the above three , identify and avoid those that will do us harm.
The demoniac person thinks: So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the lord of everything, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice. In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.
Fundermental service is inherently within us all .
Life is made as such that rendering service is a fundermental and underlying principle , indirectly or directly practically all beings are serving somebody , or unknowingly playing a part in the harmonious and interconnected activities of nature . Thd 60s songwriter Bob Dylan saw that, among other things, and wrote his song ‘ everyone has to serve someone ‘. Of course, pure loving services rendered to someone who deserves it and who can properly reciprocate can not be compared to a crooked motivated politician who claims he is serving the people . In spiritual and philosophical terms, better be a servant in a superior realm that a master in an inferior one
It’s a universal law , according to the Vedas that if anybody takes a service from someone , and this applies throughout the whole of the material universes , or if they use somebody in any particular way a debt is owed , you can’t get something for nothing.
Ultimately, all kinds of debts are building up in our Karmic systems, which are carried with us and remain with us throughout our universal journey of fruitive work . For those that don’t properly reciprocate a service rendered , debts build up and need paying back . That is technically called karma, and the karmic synchronicities of life play out in the unpredictability of our lives , of long forgotten debts , like twigs floating in a fast flowing river debts and debtors are brought together then parted , never to meet again .
The ultimate service rendered to everyone is by Divinity Himself , as the supersoul or Holy Ghost , in everyone’s heart He facilitates the individual being , giving them remberance and forgetfulness and reminding them life after life of what they once desired as well as encouraging everyone to aquire the real wisdom and knowledge .He is always showing in many ways how best to escape the plane of the karmic self-centred word , with the temporary lives of material debtors . The greatest service is to show everyone what their best interests are and how that can be achieved , God is always rendering that service, and so are His pure representatives . He remains in the hearts of all beings whilst they wonder all over the universe in different situations looking for happiness and patiently waits for everyone to see sense and return back home back to Godhead
Ultimately , because by His own example of how He renders the greatest of all services , never forgetting any of the living beings ,we should reciprocate with Him and hear from Him of how we might reciprocate with Love , and render some services bringing happiness to Him along with His associates. The greatest of all service is rendered by the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani and the Gopies and Manjaris , her confidants, they are residents of Vrndavana.
This is carefully described by Sukadeva Goswami in the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam and elaborated upon in the commentaries of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas in their writings .
