We see  many wonderful qualities in mankind , actually , we see wonderful qualities in the whole of the creation and here we refer to just one planet  look at the night sky  the mind boggles at the inconceivable nature of this one galaxy with its system of planets . This is one small part of the universe, and the Vedas confirms millions of universes  are in existence ,  as the  string theorists postulate.

What’s even more inconceivable is that each planet has a purpose and is inhabited , the Vedas tell us  , Lisa Randall, the Harvard of theoretical physics, quite rightly points out the obvious implications of  multidimensional space , our senses are limited to three dimensions . This means each of us has limited senses , and we see  things only in  three dimensions . She points out why there  could well  be more dimensions “out there” and also refers to dark space and dark energies as unknown energies.

The Vedas indicates God is full of multiple energies and how  He expands His energies in multitudes of ways. This includes His expansions of  internal energies, which are the conscious beings scattered within the material and spiritual planetary systems. The Vedas broadly categorise His internal,  marginal, and external energies and give explicit details to each .

So, as God is full of unlimited wonderful qualities , the living beings naturally reflect a minute portion of those qualities, as does everything in creation , He is a supreme scientist and engineer but also someone overflowing with love for all beings.

There is systematic supervisory management in place. The right type of action brings forth particular superior and inherent qualities of our control, and the wrong actions suppress the flow, causing entanglements . In the familiar language of many, one can say one’s good or bad karma . Freedoms  and progressions can be tapped into  at any time,  and in no time at all, one can resume all of one’s inherent  spiritual qualities that stem from and are reflected from Divinity.

The Bhagavad Gita tells us how in detail and prescribed methods are outlined.

The general principles of Varna Ashram

One of the main purposes of the Vedic Varna Ashram system was to , in simple terms , make sure the right persons with the right qualities were to do  the right occupation that would benefit all of the society , such is the natural beauty of and benefit of the social systems that naturally occur in mankind that Krishna has engineered .

The importance of identifying the correct person is imperitive,  if an electrical engineer were to tinker around with the neurons in your brain , or a plumber were to look into solving your bladder problems,  that would be absurd.

Similarly, the Vedic systems find it absolutely unacceptable that the business class , today’s globalists , with the help of supposed administrative classes the political classes,  who are  claiming to represent the interests of humanity , silence the intelligentsia in the form of independent scholars with no particular political affiliations .

The business classes that run the  media platforms and TV channels choose guests who think like they do and avoid airing the veiws of  the independent intelligensia. The journalists are all paid servants of the Globalists’ opinions  , this is all too clear. Thus, where can a truth be found  one might ask oneself ?

Scholars in various fields are  silenced  , and the Brahminical class, who are also  self realised theologians and scholarly philosophers , can very easily see through the plans of the persons who like to live and promote sophisticated animalism

Out of control business persons,  with  great dreams and assumptions of  creating global wealth and good fortune for the world are simply based on misrepresented and hyped up trickle down economics , which in reality turn out , the way the world looks right now .

The Vedic cultures looked entirely different, with the emphasis on localised economics and national economics. This was based on the development of smaller economies, but working in synthesises,  thus creating a network for the benefit and interactions of everyone.  The administrative political class would see that everyone had fair dealing ,  compliance, and governance, which was strict in order  to avoid the risks of imbalance and encroachments,  but a balance of free market economics was also kept  in place .

Currently ,  the  out of balance world , is legislated as such , that light touch means , crooks and cheating is common place in the stock , commodities and currency markets,  extremely rich people take advantage get even richer ,and using their ill gotten gains unwisely,  creating further disruption in the world.

The Vedic systems are predicted to return into society and a  re-education, and a new awareness will develop. People will wise up, and the real intelligentsia will return to stabalise and put society straight.

Suka deva

In history, we find many political battles or nations fighting for one reason or another , the fighting between the left and the right , between capitalism and communism etc etc .

But the Vedic cultures identify  varieties of people living in varieties of ways , according to their predisposed natures . The Vedas recognise the different outlook’s of people and although all men are equal , same time due to karmic states and varieties of mentalities , everyone has to be accommodated , facilitated and helped along to lead progressive and happy lives . Numerous types of faiths and numerous goals are inevitable and discussed by Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita.  There was no question of dictatorships but rather structures with varieties of laws and justice systems with  different expectations from different types of persons.

Ultimately, for societies to knit together properly, it takes very broad thinkers with detailed and all incorporating types of  intelligence ,not unthinking fanatics . One thing that was always in place  in Vedic Cultures was the head . Societies were taken like a body,  head , arms , belly, and legs . Societies must have the most thoughtful and intelligent people leading them . The Vedas tell us about the different types of intelligences that will be functioning in social administrations and recommend the most suitable types  for the social , scientific  , philosophical , economic, and spiritual education .  Each of which is applied in a myriad of ways in prescribed ways , one glove does  not fit all .

In the vedas part are designated as the puranas , 18 puranas , six  for people in goodness  , six  for people in passion six  for people in ignorance . Krishna tells us in Bhagavad Gita of the different types of persons and faiths and how they are best administered to .

The words of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja.

It’s crucial to understand the importance of  the legitimate and clearly qualified intelligensia in society and also understand what is actually meant by the intelligentsia . In Vedic circles, the greatest of the intelligentsia were realised in the philosophy of consciousness , they know its source , its various entanglements, and the theroputic methods to be employed so as to bring the best out of every human who possesses consciousness as well as to protect all creatures who also unknowingly possess it , in the sense animals are not philosophical .

Along with this best of the  intelligentsia , there were a variety of scholars in very many different disciplines that played a supportive role to the philosophical leaders who ultimately guided society and the whole social systems and networks thereof .

Unfortunately, when the intelligentsia are silenced , sidelined, or minimised, the results are chaos throughout the social systems , systematic education along with  beneficial cultures and traditions become lost and replaced with artificial living , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada called modern living , whose goal is to satisfy the bodily senses or titilate any mental concoction” a society of sophisticated animals .”

The animalistic consciousness becomes so prominent that the artificial intelligensia tells us all our distant relatives are apes , that we originate from soup and that survive of the fittest should be the motto for life,  thus we live in a society run by hogs , dogs , camels and asses , the Srimad Bhagavatam , the summary of the Vedas , tell us .

The environment is in trouble , the animals and all creatures are losing their homes , wars are raging , people are displaced without homes , countries or livelihoods , its time for people to wake up and look for and understand who are the real intelligensia and listen to what they say , and the Vedas clearly have the answers

A great and important philosophical question posed by Vrajanatha in Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s Jiva Dharma, the occupation of the soul .

We are manifest from Lord  Balarama, the first expansion of Krishna,  and because the soul is part of Him , and Krishna always been, so have we , within Krishna are unlimited expansions,  thus the simultaneous one and difference can be looked at in this way , or as Jiva Goswami says , Krishna makes the impossible possible , by manifesting totally separate entities with free will .

We also have to understand the expression ,  “time immemorial ,”   we can not fathom its beginnings.

When Balarama brings forth the  ” dormant ”  Jivas , it is because He wants to increase Krishna’s pleasure. We are not dead stones or downloads of Balarama , but have free will . The more we use our free will for its intended purpose , the more freedom we can experience  . On our being “manifest ” , just as a good father tells us all about  a proper way to conduct life for our greatest benefits , similarly Balarama , our original father , by His example brings  freedom of expression,  love and attraction , spontaneously the living beings reveal their consciousness by their own attractions . Love is always voluntary and can never be forced . The complete and full  existence of Divinity is only ever understood by love. Indeed Sanatana Goswami has shown in  his litrature in the pastime of Gopa Kumar , that when he finally returned to a spiritual world,  the Lord was waiting and embraced him saying “where have you been I have missed you and have been waiting?” Such is the Love of the supreme Father of all .

It’s indicted by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , the jiva enters a tatasta state , which is understood as the  impersonal Brahman , those that are not inclined to share the consciousness remain in impersonal bliss , but for want of activity , come to the material planes , to ultimately refine their activity , and learn that Krishna is Rasaraja the king of exchanges of love .This is completed by a ” transporational” glance , the living being is injected into matter.

In revealing their state of consciousness , the Jiva is connected automatically either to Maha maya or Yoga maya ,ie the spiritual or material energies , according to their  free spirit , it appears our consciousness , having this  free spirit,  connected itself to Maha maya .   Balarama , could detect such independence of  desires and arrangements were made , automatically through ethereal planes in the multidimensional unlimited space time  , initially with relatively exalted consciousness . Mahamaya or Durga Devi has the task  of providing an  illusion of artificial lordship and thus temping  one to enjoy, and further entanglements begin .

Some people say God knows everything,  but does He know when you will turn in Love towards Him , and how you will love Him and the intensity ?

In conditioned consciousness, one is firmly in His energy,  as the high court judge knows the destination of the criminal, so a harmful soul is under His grips , with predicable consequences,  but not a pure soul , he has his full freedom and is  unpredictable and every increasing in loving exchanges with the master of love Divinity or Krishna

The Vedas per say is so very broad , incorporating those who relate with God in impersonal ways , as well as those who love to worship Demigods , instead of God , those who worship their forefathers and family traditions  , those who sacrifice the mental and intellectual energies searching for God , those that want something material from God , ultimately all these persons offer worship in one form or another , and draw benefit from the universal order .

Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita calls these persons less intelligent because intelligence means to connect with something that can give the highest benefits for our  consciousness ,  including love and pleasure , since we are all pleasure seeking best go to the sources of all pleasure,  or as AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada wrote Krishna is the reservoir of all pleasure .

So anybody who tries to understand God in one way or another , by following different religious practices or a philosophical pursuit or who tries to better themselves in ethical , moral , and compasionate ways are all in one way or another following the Vedas , and we should give due respect.

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said most people are innocent in the world , the ones to look out for are the out and out demoniac persons who are ruthless in many respects ,  Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita speaks of the qualities of the demoniac , so that helpful to us so as  to know who to be wary of , but also lookout for wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing .

So let’s celebrate that the world has many good people within it and together guard against the darker energies , but also by God’s mercy the darkness becomes light .

The Vedas have a lot to say on this topic  , material pleasure is pleasure utalising bodily sences and  the mental pleasures of contemplations , i.e. acceptance or rejection  within the mind of future sensual experiences. The intellectual pleasure  is also of  many forms, including a  philosophical speculative process that also brings a degree of pleasure , the craving for knowledge, and the pride of being  right about everything .  Intelligence can also be creative in many ways and can express ideas or philosophy . It’s always rewarding to get other people to have deeper and new insights. A sense of control or understanding can be  broadly described as material pleasure. Such expressions within the material world  have a beginning, a middle, and an end , although deeper learning and impressions are carried to our next life, the Vedas indicate.

Spiritual pleasure  however is based on a state of deeper consciousness , the direct consciousness of the doul , its an uncovering process , pure knowledge and natural bliss are inherently the constitution of life in real terms. That is a state beyond the sensual , mental, and intellectual platforms. These are described in  spiritual categories as the pleasure of Brahman consciousness , the pleasure of Paramātma consciousness, and the pleasure of Bhagavan consciousness .

Each of the above categories need a thorough explanation but in brief , we can say understanding and experience of God’s impersonal spiritual energies , or His localised energies or His personal form the cause of all causes and the energetic source of all spiritual realms and energies.

In the Vedas the living beings are described as pleasure seeking , this is so because they originate from God who is ever expanding in His pleasure and is the master at creating it and enjoying.

God was one , it is said , He became two known as Radha Krishna , and from them both other unlimited expansions are manifest .

Srimati Radharani is the personification of Krishna’s pleasure seeking potency , and this  Supreme Goddess of Fortune  Radharani is the most expert in all the known and unknown arts . The 64 spiritual excellences are  spontaneously exuding   from Her and Her associates , unlimited and ever new playfulness and pleasures , enjoyed with spiritual senses in a spiritual forms .  Krishna is forever attracted to these spiritually exquisite trancendental exhibitions of pleasures that create direct euphoric emotional experiences. The spiritual senses and emotions are non different to the soul , everything is absolute. Radharani is  equally forever attracted to the super excellence of Krishna’s form qualities and pastimes. Consciousness has never had a beginning, a middle or an end , so Krishna consciousness is a realm without atoms elements compounds and ethereal minds and thus pleasure increasingly occurs with no end in site .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Goswami Maharaja , although fully absorbed in Radha Krishna Nitya Lila, did not take Babaji initiation , he was the great spiritual teacher and thus gave the example of being in the sannyasa Ashram.  That Ashram, although the head of the Varna Ashram system , is below the Babaji, who is fully immersed in his practice of deep meditations in the land of Vraj, serving the residents there. Ultimately directed by Yoga maya , Vrnda devi and Vrsabhanu Nandini Srimati Radharani.

Srila Sridhar Swami ,  Prabhupada’s friend and godbrother would say we should wait in Govardhan Hill. waiting to be called to Radha Kund .

But he also said by practice and mercy particularly Lord Nityananda and Mahāprabhu’s mercy and Their devotees these matters of Radha Krishna Nitya Lila and the activities of the residents of Vrndavana will irresistibly enter the heart , and added fools rush in where angels dare to tread.

So a balanced careful approach with service attitudes always keeping this topic high above our heads , but not thinking it should not be approached , but praying to be able to approach , with a certain greed in the heart .

A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada immediately when coming to the west gave Krishna book , and some of the activities of the 10th Canto , and many of our predecessor acaryas have written extensively on these topics .
