As USA economically are on the way down and China and Brics countries are on the way up .. To counter act, Trump is trying Tarrifs..Tarrifs are like a tax on USA citizens.. But Trump hopes China and Brics countries will bring their manufacturing to the USA to avoid Tarrifs.. But labour cost and running costs are higher in USA…….
Now . The cost of 700 military bases the USA has in the world is colossal…China has none .. Thus, China can afford to build cheaply all over africa and other places and manufacture at low costs , like electric cars, etc . It’s time for reset ….. Probably, some deal between Russia, China Bric, and the USA will be struck . Meanwhile, the EU and UK and Ukraine are not in the game …they diminished financially a long time ago . In order to avoid a major conflict or world war .Trump is going for a deal …probably a good idea . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
In the 5th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, we can hear of the activities of Maharaja Priyavrata .
Although a renunciant , he was instructed by Lord Bramha to rule the universe and engage in family life . He was to enjoy his karmic position and at the same time serve the purposes of Divinity. Lord Bramha assured him that would please Krishna.
For many years, he enjoyed family life and the association of his wife and family with great opulences , and he properly administered his responsibility in guiding society , repelling those who sought to spread ignorance and encouraging progression in everyone’s lives , whilst enjoying family life.
After many years of duties, he began to think himself unnecessarily entangled in mundane duties and family life. Thus, he made plans for a more detached situation so he could increase his meditation on Krishna and made plans to leave his family life behind , leaving his sons to take up administration.
In modern times , we can consider as young devotees we are to assist with ISKCON or any other preaching mission and give our time energies and skills in dedicated services and at the same time , we can enjoy family affairs and our alloted karmic position.
But in much older age , we should apply ourselves less to family affairs and much more to deep bhajan , giving up aspirations in the material world for ourselves or family , following the example of Rupa Ragganatha and Mahaprabhu . We can allow younger devotees to take on management of missionary activities and the ongoing mission and retire and influence the mission in different ways , but most importantly actually aquire a spiritual body by meditation and the process of smaranam , fixing minds on forms and pastimes and aspiring to serve those that are eternally engaged in those activities , our acaryas in recent times and millions of years ago set that example.
Many atheistic speculative persons seem to say they have practically unquestionable truth and point us to their systems of knowledge….Peer reviews….but peer review can mean collaborative speculations. What good is a peer review of an out and out Darwinian who has accepted the peer reviews of other out and out Darwinians thus the chain of those who accept speculative scientific materialism and its chain of disciplic succession is accepted practically blindly and passed from one speculator to another . … The Vedic system is to accept knowledge from a disciplic succession accompanied by scientific realisations , thus jnana and vijnana , knowledge and realised knowledge. The Darwinian can never have realised knowledge because micro evolution is never seen to become macro evolution. The microbs in Darwins little warm pond are not seen to be the objective ancestors or Albert Einstein, only in the subjective minds of a Darwinian .
One of the most important aspects of knowledge is persons who are honest , truthful and who have first class impeccable characters.
Thus, Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita tells us what the symptoms of a self realised and truthful man are . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
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 and that will determine specific outcomes are incalculable and inconceivable . Because of being beyond the comprehension, the atheistic draw the conclusions , that because we can’t understand it , and its impossible for everything to be administered, we conclude its a chance event somehow driven by obscure laws of nature , that also occur by chance events . The idea of theological science 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 .
In the fourth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, Srila Narada Muni teaches that the Glorious Vaisnava Brahmans see the world the way Krishna does , in other words they understand its real purpose.
Ultimately, Vedic culture sets this goal , that it is to be well recognized by every citizen that wisdom , knowledge, compassion based on the sweetness and generosity within the hearts of the top most Brahminical persons , who are the genuine well wishers of all being , who are completely non sectarian and who harmonize all discord in the absolute truth should be understood by everyone and the benefits of such guidance well recognised . Vedic culture has forever been tasked to keep this foundation in place .
These days, with the infiltration of ill founded ultra liberalism society is slipping from its all-important foundations , and societal structures and traditions are crumbling..
Here is Nyaya logic..
Nyaya logic.
Nyaya logic makes a very sound point ..that if someone is looking for truth he will accept truth , but if someone is looking only to establish a subjective opinion and has already made up his or her mind , Nyaya indicates that person is not necessarily looking for truth . This is also indicated in Vaisnavism if you really want to understand Krishna. He will send you Sri Guru, who comes in many forms , Sadhu Sanga, Sastra Sanga Such Sadhu’s bring us the superior position of love and particularly those who possess love of God , in such a position, knowledge per say is left to one side , and the sweetness of the hearts is ever increasing . Where there is smoke, there is fire , yet some argue there might not be . Look out or new fangled ” truth ” based on someone whose heart is not sweet but rather covered by material conditioning in the form of lust , anger , greed , envy , madness, and illusion. EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION is key, and the Vedas gladly give it .
Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami would say Krishna has been caught by our previous acaryas, they have traversed the path of devotion and left their footprints , we must follow ,Krishna and Srimati Radharani will accept their commands as to who get Their mercy http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The great transcendental mystery of trancendental love in union and separation from Krishna is explained for our benefit by Srila Sanatana Goswami. To understand the spiritual emotions which appear apparently as extreme agony that are felt by Srimati Radharani and the Gopies whilst in spiritual separation from Krishna , but that’s also felt as a specific transcendental bliss , and mysteriously even more so than the bliss of union. To try to explain , Srila Sanatana Goswami draws us into the material world . He gives the example of ice burns , the feelings of extreme burns when a body is subjected to something so very cold as ice . Thus the extraordinary and completely unfathomable movements of spiritually surcharged minds and senses and the way they behave incomprehensibly in the hearts of Krishna’s devotees and that reaches its summit in the emotions of Srimati Radharani have been mentioned , the acayas tell us only the purest of devotees can really understand something of those trancendental hights .. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Learn to forget some old habits , develop new habits , and change the ways your neurons fire.
The neuroscientist Micheal Egnore , who is also a practising brain surgeon , writes on the topics of free will and free won’t , you may be familiar with free will but…. free wont ?
But extraordinary as it might sound , this kind of thinking and discussion parallels some of the talks that Krishna had with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita . That due to bad habits or previous connections , in previous lives , we are forced to act by the material energies in certain ways , almost beyond our control . But Krishna says , by education, association and practice, we can learn to practice ” free won’t ” means , my body and mind are attracting me to do something , but , but I won’t listen . Because there is going to be an outcome of these actions that ultimately will not be in my best interests . The founder of ISKCON Srila Prabhupada said in his writings ,” The devotee is very expert at ignoring his mind.”
By such practice of controlling mind and senses, it is medically proved , says Michael Egnore, that the neurons begin firing differently , brain patterns change , the secretion of brain chemistry behaves differently , thus addiction and craving subside . It has been detected that a person’s brain is working to attract the person to particular experiences, but a resistance occurs , thus overcoming previous tendencies that a material body and mind by former karmic positions would be expected to adopt .The whole of the principles of a yogic system are centred on this phenomenon . In Vedic understanding , two things are at play , God helps those that help themselves.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, a famous and prolific writer of Vedic philosophical matters, tells we , as spiritually minded persons, have two bodies , the influences of the former life , and the influences of this life .
If we could see the atomic influences along with ethereal planes , we would see clouds of influences ready to move our psychological movements and senses in particular ways , things the astrologers can pick up in astrological readings . So the current body along with its associated energies , is one body , and a newly forming spiritual body , depending on how much we form it , the process referred to as ‘Sadhana practice and Ragganuga practice in the Vedas is at work. Namely , the forming of a mentally conceived spiritual form , our original pure spiritual senses and mind are developed .
Thus, the phrase “the science of self realisation ” has many connotations .
But each of the above in their own way demonstrate the theme of the living being along with his activities of free will and a legislatory that imposes determinism within the material energies. We have to understand that the Supreme Goddess of Fortune has many sides to Her and in service to Divinity She specifically evaluates the activities of everyone and either allures them in further entanglements or sets them free , unlimited agencies and subtle laws are in play in the supreme automated systems of Divinity.
We speak of laws of nature , but how many laws can we say we understand throughly or even know exist . In the material world of accountancy and taxation laws, for instance, there are reems of pages of multiple different laws that are written to accommodate varying situations that may be applicable to specifics of how the law is to be applied .
The Vedas suggest everyone or every being has been given free reign but the laws of how the game is played have also been given , it behoves a business man to employ the services of an efficient accounting company and good lawyers , if he does so his compliance under governance will keep things on the up and up .
Any living being who finds himself in the material world must , must , must , find themselves someone who understands how everything works , what the benefits are, and what its pitfalls are.
It would be rather foolish to follow the ignorant as the proverbial saying goes ” like lemming off a cliff .”
Unfortunately the educational systems have been slanted towards scientific materialism , such persons posit that life does not come from life , you gotta ask yourself how do they know they know ….The answer….they don’t , but such guessing has been presented as fact based science.
So choose carefully , employ experts in philisophical pursuits , in all the sciences and not just biology , and theological cultures and their understanding of mind , matter, and consciousness.
The Copenhagen agreement sets consciousness and the many possibilities together with the observer effect , King Puranjana is an allegorical story in the fourth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Matrix movie and concept speaks for itself.
Instant communication and reaction mechanisms of the universal order and a responsive universe responding to consciouseness is the Vedic science
Once the founder of ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said , everything is happening by the supream desire of Krishna. This consciousness is Krishna consciousness.
But he also said that one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong. He gave an illustration of a man going to sleep at night , within His heart God says lock up your windows and doors they may be theives , and to the theif God says within his heart , in a particular house , here is an excellent opportunity to steal .
The complexities of action and reaction are unfathomable. How can justice and injustices be simultaneously working together ? and how it could be that it would be and lead to a perfect system of fair and just legislation.
Such philosophical , religious, ethical, and rational enquiries should be contemplated and thought about carefully.
The Vedas have the answers to any questions that are posed , and it behoves everyone of us to understand them well , and not be an unbalanced and unthinking follower or theological cultures .
For instance, when Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, one who sees action in inaction and inaction in action, how is it to be understood.
One should know that Divinity wants the best of persons to represent him , and he also wants such persons views represent in any government administration . Their governance and compliance systems must be uncontaminated with lust ,anger greed, and bias caused by identifying with a particular race or social position .
We are not ultimately British, American, European, Latin American or African, we are all living beings in different bodies under different circumstances and we all need help , guidance and cooperation.
Fools vote in fools, we need to educate ourselves how to identify a good leader and what their qualities are. We must seek help from the real intelligensia who are properly situated in knowledge and show symptoms of wisdom , which will obviously include sympathy, someone who can not tolerate the suffering of anyone or any creature
Perhaps one could say the European Union is a hodge podge of liberalism . Generally overly liberal societies come about in response to overly suppressed ones . The Vedic cultures neither suppress or encourage one to blindly follow the mind and senses in a journey of life that will ultimately lead to old age disease and death. Vedic culture encourages us to explore and understand body , mind , matter , time, and consciousness in philisophical pursuits through various studies and different practices . That leads to healthy minds , healthy bodies, tollerance, and understanding. Obviously, the Vedas indicate, we all come from different places and different families as well as different circumstances, but even further than that , we come from our previous experiences of previous lives …..so its complicated and unlimitedly entangleing. So instead of being so overly hung up about one life, one should see life as a continued journey with endless possibilities, and the very people who consider themselves liberal and free could well be some of the most entangled and chained persons there are , equally those who overly repress themselves in the name of religion or spend their time condemning others are chained and not free.. . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
