  • What do you mean by God ?

    Nov 7th, 2024

    Many atheistic subjective speculators  boldly declare .” There is no God .”

    If you ask them ”  What do you mean by God ? ”

    They really can not give any   detail in their answers . Ultimately, unless you know what God is , you’ll not be able to say with any definite statements, ” There is no God “

    At most,  it’ll be some kind of emotional response  that is given  with very little understanding of theological or even objective scientific knowledge.

    Albert Einstein said.

    “Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. “

    We have to carefully understand why Einstein says that and what he means .

    Lord Krishna Himself in His Bhagavad Gita 10th Chapter .

    He says “one must understand My Vibhuti’s ,”  My Sciences , how in every detail I prevade every aspect of the creation ,  how I am the cause of all causes , including mind , body , intelligence and consciousness . How I am the knower of all bodies , and am situated with  one fragment of myself within them all , and how the varieties of linking processes to Me are achieved through the  multiple yoga systems .  How I transmit absolute knowledge throughout the multidimensional universes either personally , in partial incarnations, or how I enter into the hearts of My empowered representatives.

    One should also understand how I  am within everything,  yet outside of everything , how I am very near yet an inconceivable distance away , and how I am  neutral to everyone,  yet deeply attached to My  family,  friends and lovers .

    So much to learn , and what I have just mentioned is a fragmental part of the learning . In spontaneous love , where the highest cultures are displayed ,  there is a whole science of emotional exchanges to explore, as well as the unlimited personalities exhibiting them in ever increasing and newer ways . Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami are the Proffesors.

  • Battlefield diplomacy and reestablished principles

    Nov 7th, 2024

    Battlefield diplomacy , theology, and psychological  analysis ..

    We should remember the great philosophical treatise Bhagavad Gita was spoken on a battlefield , it  was intended to establish fair play, including perfect  political and social justice systems , that Krishna had come  to reestablish , in Bhagavad Gita krishna says He appears to reestablish principles for mankind.

      Although negotiations were originally intended  by Krishna toward the opposing parties, unfortunately, those acting as His  enemies  refused to correct  wrong behaviours  , ignoring  ethical practices and acted  ruthlessly . Those who ignore teachings of  Bhagavad Gita which  give a thorough analysis of all kinds of theological positions and  a thorough run down on all kinds of human psychology  telling  of the original political system that are beneficial for mankind , will be lost . Krishna wants the   intelligentsia at the helm , not politicians.  Krishna says , over and over again ,  He needs to  come to re-establish truth and justice, sometimes He will  send a representative to do so . The conditioned  psychological effects of consciousness within matter, along with  unfolding time, cause forgetfulness and degradation of mankind.

    The reason we choose to come to this world , according to the Vedas ,  is for  lordship , but the  tiny spark of consciousness is always dependent and never  independent . We should understand Divinities Lordship and how it’s  only ever based on pure Love ,  only He  can simultaneously reciprocate with countless persons in purity and love  in  fulfilling  and ever  increasing ways .

    The political and social justice systems of the Vedas are a progressive journey for everyone , social and spiritual mobility is its intention, and it’s has been in operation for trillions of years .One is recommended to study the  contents of the Bhagavad Gita.

  • False freedoms bind .

    Nov 6th, 2024

    False freedom binds one

    Vedic culture means following traditions and the highest of cultures in every field of education, including the arts . Its emphasis is to  follow great men and women , with proven qualities as  set out in the Vedas , such inspiration and the best of human qualities automatically benefit the rest of society , by good association one becomes a good and wholesome person . Bad associations  cause one to  become troubled , the education system  must teach how to identify what is good and bad association , and what the benefits are of this , thus rascals should  never be  allowed free reign , as today , especially on social media and within governments , or as business leaders .

    Modern Western, lefty liberal , literally  means to follow your own mind and senses , wherever,  and get everyone one to do the same , and aggressively spread this new fangled thinking , even going to war to do so . It has  no real sense  of cultivation of consciousness or conserving traditions of culture and families .  In  the course of time   the essence of knowledge has been lost , the truth always needs reserecting messages because it gets in time replaced by speculations and subjective scientific materialism and perverse cultures. Such is the nature of material conditioned nature along with an  independent free will  .

    Persons who follow false “freedoms ” and speculations will find the opposite of what they are looking for , which is perfect loving relationships , but granted, there are 8,4000000 species of life , so plenty of facilities for expression in countless bodies , and how people want to lead their lives , those likings are found in other species , and Bhagavad Gita teaches wherever your taste , an appropriate body awaits.

    A human form gives one a chance for freedoms beyond one’s comprehension . it’s our responsibility as humans to know just what those freedoms are .

  • Negotiations and compromise

    Nov 6th, 2024


    The Bhagavatam has some absolutes and an awful lot of negotiations , compromise, and settlements. If one cares to study the Srimad Bhagavatam , one may be surprised by the above statement. But Krishna is a very practical person , having given free will to His expansions .
    There are many examples throughout the Bhagavatam of fair play , understanding, and negotiations.

    Lord Indra, for example , became disturbed because King Priyavrata was about to complete a hundred consecutive sacrifices , giving him special powers.

    (Indra was the only person who had previously completed such a task . )

    But , BECAUSE he was the king of heaven and had naturally a large ego to go with his prestigious position , so , Lord Bramha , on behalf of Krishna , negotiated with King Priyavrata , and it was settled that King Priyavrata would not complete the task and settled up for only 99 sacrifices .

    Krishna wanted lord Indra to keep his pride and distinction in place , which is important sometimes in leadership roles . So sometimes, in daily dealings the implementation of morals , ethics, and good behaviour are implemented carefully and gradually and  do not always occur the way we would necessarily like events to unfold , so patience is required . Certain domestic and political sensitivities must come into play , some persons are not ready to immediately hear perfect good sense . The material energies are as such , that time and patience must be adopted towards some persons , and  various karmic situations worldwide are often beyond bewildering , nevertheless, Divinity remains in full control . The Srimad Bhagavatam can , by careful and mature study, reveal to us the mysteries of Divinity and the free will and determinism of universal affairs.

  • What is ISKCON and its mission.

    Nov 5th, 2024

    The mission of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the essence of Krishna consciousness . Prabhupada said in answering a reporter,  who asked him why he had come to the USA , he replied ” I have come to teach you what you have forgotten,  how to love God , I have come on the order of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , my spiritual master .

    Our current mission is to fulfill the vision of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , the  founder Acarya of ISKCON in reintroducing lost aspects of Vedic culture that are said to have originally permeated societies world wide , we are highlighting common traits and language connections within  the many existing cultures and religions throughout the world , we have a  nonsecterian outlook  and are bringing  to the forefront the true equality of all beings, its  a self evident truth …. Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the USA constitution, famously spoke of  this self evident truth,  its calculated to be the  consciousness , that we all possess , because that is the most important part of our lives , not the temporary body , although it’s important to properly maintain everybody and give appropriate facilities to everyone. That  consciousness is present in all living beings , not just humans , and  the Vedas calls on us all to analyse and understand it  fully , such inquiry will bring everyone  throughout the world,  the real  solutions to all of lifes problems , as well as peace of mind , and harmony between all beings and nations. Understanding consciousness means understanding Divinity .

  • Our universe,  the Vedic way ..

    Nov 4th, 2024

    Enclosed universe, infinite space, and the accuracy of cosmic calculations using limited senses within classical physics and math .

    Many ancient cultures spoke of the universe  being an  enclosed unit  with lower , middle, and upper planetary systems within a shell , this indicates that the original knowledge of the Vedas , in former times were  widely distributed and worldwide cultures were Vedic in the broader sense of the world.

    Outside the  universal shell , they understood  was the place where  Divinity and His  super subjective planes existed , with all the splendour of  His spiritual varigatedness.

    The Greeks and later the Arabic cultures as well as a  Vedic culture and other cultures from the South Americas all held similar understandings , thus  cultures intertwined and evidence for  a much earlier concept of a global world can be thought of .

    When the Roman empire  conquered most of  Europe, having  taken in previously within their own cultures some aspects of Christianity,   blind unscientific religious fanaticism began to develop   some or most of the traditional Vedic ways  of understanding our universe , along with a  greater scientific approach  to consciousness in general came to  decline .  When later  the  Roman empire came to an end , Christians predominanted and scientific thinking outside the bible came to a complete halt .  But the old Arabic and Greek texts were still available, and  the  Mogal empires preserved  some of this  thinking of our universal structures .which was essentially theological in nature .

    The Renaissance period gave a rebirth to science and a  rethinking of  the universe . Modern geometric systems and euclidean math was the new way of looking at life , so much so , that God was pushed out the picture, and so was dualism,   the mechanistic Darwinian world had begun, scientific materialism, that used  math and mechanistic thinking  , placed our stars millions of miles away,  and a  concept of an infinite space,  with no God outside of a universal shell was developed and taught in educational systems. If there were a God ,  some thought,  it’s  probably an impersonal energy . The idea of a separate mind to matter was written off  because the mind could not be measured , and math could not be applied .

    Measurements of the distance of planets in a multidimensional space,  as spoken about by Lisa Randall the Harvard Prof,  may not be so easy to calculate ,   the laws of physics are said in the Vedas to operate differently in different parts of the universe, so what  is far is near ,what is near is far in a multidimensional universe.

    The ancient culture and sciences should not be discarded and rubbished , and replaced by scientific materialism, which  cannot even account for a mind , but rather believe  it to  only be simple neurons firing in a mechanistic mathematical brain , these events  happening by chance events in a chance universe . This mechanistic veiw could be said to be  ludicrously absurd , and discards the notion of intelligence and obvious design in just about everything we see ,  as well it ignores the perfect math in nature , where there is perfect mathematics you can bet your bottom dollar there is a perfect mathematician behind it .


  • Homelessness was a blessing in some parts of the Vedic societal systems.

    Nov 4th, 2024

    For those persons preparing for leaving this world , which is  obviously  very entangleing for the mind and senses , with wives  , children ,  housing , bank balance  , careers ,  social status positioning and the like , even in older age there is no escape ,  as the whole process starts all over again with  the grandchildren and their lives ,  its ever entangling  . And so it was ,  that the Vedic cultures encouraged complete renunciation from material affairs and a leaving of homes to live wherever might be convenient ,  no fixed abode was favoured towards the end of life . An absorption in the spiritual dimensions was developed particularly in Gaudia Vaisnavism ,  which meant meditations on the eternal affairs of Krishna ,  Radharani , and the village life of Vraj . The Goswamis of Vrndavana , in their literature ,  having been instructed by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , have  left so  much to meditate on as the activities in every detail of Krishna and Radharani’s life has been revealed by them .

    So leaving everything behind of materially entangleing affairs , taking up the activities of the spiritual world , because after all , at death , there is no choice,  everything of our material affairs are taken away . There is no escape from death , it’s imposed upon us all . In order to prepare and to absorb thd mind in spiritual affairs , its was recommended to live a life of a beggar with no fixed abode . Because the mind and senses could then  became fixed with no deviations ,  fixed in a   spiritual realm by  the constant practice of spontaneous and unmotivated devotional service through meditation and entering the pastimes of Radha Krishna with attitudes of service and friendship . After some time of fixed practice and meditation , ones  spiritual position and services were revealed , even though situated supposedly in the material world.

    In a life of  strict renunciation , one learned to become fully dependent on Krishna,  the mind and senses no longer engaged in the matters of the material world that immediately grab everyone’s attention.

    This kind of life would be totally abhorrent to the western thinker , who in old age cling on to their memories and families right to the last moments of life . However preparing for the inevitable change is better than hoping against hope that a little more family pleasure might  be aquired….actually the destination of the soul for those absorbed in family life is to once again return to the material world , to take up another family for those so absorbed , and thus samsara , the repeated births and deaths . Lord Krishna Himself in Bhagavad says, “Think of Me ,”  I will rescue you from repeated births and deaths.

  • One and difference simultaneously?

    Nov 3rd, 2024

    Within the unlimited are the unlimited limited

    Within the inconceivable power of the Sun ,  are practically uncountable photons,  particles of  light, incidentally,  light is not made of atoms, everything else in our material universe is .

    According to the Vedas, the Sun is a devolved energy from the original spiritual light that the Vedas refer to as the brahman effulgence . Mahavisnu possesses multifarious energies, spiritual light being one of them . Atomic and electro magnetic capacity is drawn from the original source of the Bramajyoti . Scientifically speaking , light can not be destroyed , but can be  obsorbed , if not obsorbed  the light particals will  it carry on existing,  within  universal time , thus the hint of the eternal spiritual light is given .

    The Vedas often give analogies to explain various philosophical points , eg., the Sun can be compared to God , and the particles of light of the sun are compared to countless  conscious living beings , who have the same qualities of God  in their pure existence , but not the same quantity of powers or attraction .  Within the unlimited Divinity are the  unlimited “limited’s .”  Sri  Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed to  the  world the  truth of the  simultaneously and inconceivably oneness and difference . Individual living beings are expanded  from Divinity . The unlimited expands Himself into the unlimited limited , and thus , in spiritual math , one plus one equals  one , one minus one equals one . Srila Jiva Goswami , in his Tattva Sandarbha, says that Divinity has made the impossible possible.

    Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given us this understanding of the inconceivable and simultaneous one and difference between Himself and His part and parcels . This is the  explanation of the origins of all particles of consciousness,  or souls . The eternals come from the eternal, and there is no limit to the eternal’s . In that way, it’s understood that there has never been a time when we or God did not exist. Some souls are manifestly active , and some dormant , ready to be expanded.

    It is concluded by great Vaisnava philosophically minded thinkers that an over emphasise of the oneness,  or an over emphasise of the difference, are both unsound philosophical positions . The truths about God and the souls or particles of consciousness are revealed by Mahāprabhu and explained perfectly by Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha drawing  such truth from the Srimad Bhagavatam the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras.

  • Truth or opinion?

    Nov 3rd, 2024

    How do you know and identify absolute truth

    What is absolute truth ?

    An absolute truth remains a  truth at all times. It relates to all things , in all places and to all conscious beings at all times , and in every circumstance . It also  interelates with countless and unlimited relative truths . Absolute truth can never  change. Its position is eternally  a fact .

    Of course in todays social media society , it becomes more and more difficult to find any objective truths , and everyone is being  bombarded with subjective and  relative opinions , often presented as being objective facts to various gullible members of the  public , or on various media webb sites .

    The BBC are also dishonest, and  when John Simpson , their foreign affairs editor, proudly says the BBC never spin anything , that very statement is spin .  What’s good for the goose? May not be so good for the gander .

    Truth is infinite and unlimited, and the limited may know something of the unlimited by the unlimited mercy of the unlimited on the limited , thus, the absolute truth can be accessible to any of its unlimited portions .

    Krishna says if you want to know the truth , one must  approach a bone fide spiritual master , who has insight into absolute truths .  The Vedic cultures have always  recognised  the trancendental spiritual teachers , whose lives are dedicated to Divinity and the absolute truth. They  are those who are  able to speak purely and directly from the Scripture but who have  realized knowledge by the grace of the absolute,  its they who can give us access and  insights to various aspects  of the absolute and without  duplicity based on relative selfish interests .

    Political truths and philosophical  variable truths may be another matter and can  be regarded as relative truths . If they are actually truths and expounded by those who live in the mode of goodness and truthfulness,  they will ring true to the truthful.

    Those who want to be cheated will always find cheaters .

    A .C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say this world is for the cheaters and the cheated .

    Ultimately, if one takes shelter of absolute truth, one is going to instinctively know when truth is before us  . Divinity within the heart directly inspires the truthful,  and the truth can always be corroborated by other saints as well as the theological texts passed down from any of the four sampradayas and their disciplic successions .

  • Multidimensional cosmic pie.  And the unobserved

    Nov 3rd, 2024

    The vedic multidimensional universe , the  cosmic pie of a  higher , middle, and lower planetary systems , are  unobserved by conditioned senses made of matter

    Aug 8th, 2023

    What Is Dark Energy?…..

    ” More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe’s expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest – everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter – adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn’t be called “normal” matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of the universe.”

    Every species of life with a particular set of senses takes thd world in  differently . Even human beings see , think , feel, and will in individual subjective ways , although the same objective world sits before us all . The  artist can  see incredible details  in nature or take on a certain philosophical leaning which they represent in their arts of all kinds .  The  hawk flying high in the air , has incredible detailed vision with which to locate  prey below , the owls eyes are able to see in the darkness of night , the dogs hear high pitch sound , and whales can percieve low sounds undetected by our ears . Light itself has many frequencies , undetected by some but detected by others , sometimes with the aid of a machine.

    The vedas speak of the fourteen planetary systems within our universe,  along with 400,000 different human like beings whose bodies and senses are designed for certain atmospheric conditions that operate in different time zones. Our 12 hours are equivalent to their 6 months , and in the case of Lord Bramha , his 12 hours are equivalent to our 4.5 billion years . Such multidimensional universes can not necessarily be observed by those with earthly senses , as much as humans themselves have different degrees of intellectual and sensual awareness . They differ drastically from one another and , of course, from the other species. So we can safely say the  fourteen planetary systems can be considered parallel planes unobserved by humans , at least, that is the general rule .

    Yogis with mystic power , are said in the Vedas to be able to transport themselves in their subtle bodies to other parts of the universe and interchange existences .

    Marie Currie, the Nobel prize winner for her work on x rays , carried out many experiments with telepathy and knew of the realistic states of a subtle a  existence.

    The Harvard Prof Lisa Randall has written many papers and books on multidimensional space time existence and the many possibilities of existence that  she calls branes , as in being part of the membrane of greater planes of dimensions.

    Yoga means to understand the dualism of life , mind , matter and consciousness , things that Plato and Socrates spoke about , although Democritus held the modern scientific materialism veiw .

    The Vedas dismiss the idea of chance events in a universe  caused by  the somewhat ludicrous suggestion that the big bang originated from another aspect of an atomic realm , that somehow gave birth to countless atoms ,  that make up the elements, and compounds we see in the classical physical plane of our experience . Those following scientific materialism postulate that everything observed is because of another  chance event , meaning  the neurons firing by chance  in the brain that supposedly causes consciousness . Such is the speculative explanations  of atheistic persons in their analysis of life , which is greatly helped along by the education system and the guesses of the   Darwinian hypothesis  that are taught as practically fact based science.

    The society of the cheaters and the cheated
