The origins and beauty of pure sex psychology are based on eternal service soul to soul, and not a trace of self-centred lust .

Aug 15th, 2024

The loving affairs of Divinity and the Supreme Goddess of fortune cannot by understood by an  uncultured fellow , whose mind and senses are aborbed in the material energies,  and who unintelligently goes about his life like a sophisticated animal,  with no thoughts for real science or any philosophical inquiry. One whose mind and senses are absorbed in , or attracted to , the material physical nature of sex in the material realms ,   both in the lower , middle, and upper planetary systems , are like amateur jewelers who mistake cheap cut glass to be diamonds.

This truth has been clearly delineated by Srila Rupa Goswami and the spiritual teachers , they  sing of the glorious nature of the origins of loving affairs that are based on  an eternal soul to soul exchange in ever increasing ecstatic emotions in an eternal spiritual body with unlimited senses , this esoteric aspect of the Vedas, which is concealed, has been revealed by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu

The impersonal philosophical thinkers try to eliminate emotional responses and make efforts to find  a oneness from within ,  it’s what the Vedas call brahman realised consciousness , like merging into the divine  light  of the soul into the aura of Divinity.

But Divinity is more than a spiritual effulgence , and His full personality and activities are completely astounding, to say the least .

The material energies provide clues as to the nature of a spiritual reality full of varigatedness,  the material energies display for learning purposes varying degrees of degradation as well as the highest and the most  admirable qualities . Culture of knowledge and purity is advised in all theological texts so that a gradual awakening can begin to advance ones consciousness to its  highest possible potential and then go beyond.

A full display of real  consciousness occurs only in the company of the origins of all loving exchanges ,Divinity Himself,  and such exchanges are expressed in five primary ways in the purest of consciousness with no trace of selfishness or lust or ambition to be a separate enjoyer . Satisfaction of the trancendental emaculate senses of Divinity , who is  eternally reciprocating in ever new ways , is described in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the cream of the Vedas .

It should be understood and heard from the lips of pure devotees , who have no other interest other than unalloyed service to Divinity and His associates.

Throughout theological history,  there’s always been a debate and different extreme positions taken in regards to who can  access a  direct relationship with Divinity and even if it’s at all possible .

In the teachings of the Vedas, this example is given , that  a turtle  swimming in the ocean,  pops its head up for a breath of  air , by chance at that  place where the turtle surfaces a log  is floating in the ocean , which   has hole in it , the turtles head pops directly into that  hole  , such a rare chance event can be compared to the  rarity of the appearance in this world of the  top most pure representatives of Divinity .

The great Vedic teacher Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur,  says that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who is considered to be Krishna Himself  , is teaching by example, and is the perfect Guru in that sense , Bhaktivinod Thakur also says His direct disciples , Srila Rupa Goswami and Ragganathha das and the other  four prominent Goswamis   of Vrndavana spoken of by Gaudia Vaisnavas , should all  be regarded as our own personal Siksa Gurus , he also says finding topmost Guru is rare , but Mahaprabhu has come to act as perfect Guru , and taught the prominent Devotees particularly Rupa Ragganatha,  thus we can take it , that space time , does not get in the way of Divine connections , and full realisation   of Mahaprabhu’s teaching are full accessible via Mahaprabhu’s  devotees.

The Catholic and Protestants , fight over the direct relationship with Divinity issue , as do the Muslim faith , they also fight over who is the pure representatives ,  family lines from original teachers or non family lines , from those who have heard and assimilated the wisdom.

Fortunately the Vedas give as the answers,  The  Guru,  Sadhu Sastra truth ,  are three in one , that also means that each is an authority,  but each can be checked against each other .

The other aspects of Spiritual teachers are also clear , Guru comes in many forms , and of different calibers , and each connection is valuable at a given time , but Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami says , you should also follow your heart , and its  also imperative to take training and render  strict services  or deeply respect  all our Gurus who are  present, once that humility has been perfected , the whole of the  param para through their litratures come alive , as does the spiritual world and the residents thereof.

So we can never bypass genuine saints or neglect to honour them . By that process, all the saints become accessible and they direct us to Srimati Radharani and Lord Krishna and Their family and associates. One Diksa Guru is generally accepted , but one can have many Siksa Gurus .

In Calcutta a politician had asked Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī how he could possibly print his Nadiyā Prakāśa as a daily newspaper. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī had replied that it was not so amazing if one considered that in Calcutta alone there were almost half a dozen ordinary daily newspapers, although Calcutta was but one city amongst all the cities of India, India was but one nation amongst many nations on the earth, the earth was but an insignificant planet amidst all the other planets in the universe, this universe was one amongst universes so numerous that each was like a single mustard seed in a big bag of mustard seeds, and the entire material creation was only one small fraction of the creation of God. Nadiyā Prakāśa was not printing the news of Calcutta or the earth but news from the unlimited spiritual sky, which is much greater than all the material worlds combined. So if the daily Calcutta newspapers could report limited earthly tidings, then small wonder that Nadiyā Prakāśa could appear daily. In fact, a newspaper about the spiritual world could be printed every moment, were there not a shortage of interested readers.

The descriptions given in the lilamrita of the life of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Indeed looking at any topics of the Bhagavad Gita, the Srimad Bhagavatam or  Caitanya Mahāprabhu lilas , that have been recorded , so many things could be discussed and elaborated upon , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada once said he could have written many Bhagavad Gitas , such is the nature of ever increasing knowledge and bliss in an eternal dimension.

Sankya yoga is defined as the  perfect process of knowing.

The systematic progressive path of the Vedas  incorporating… karma yoga , jnana yoga , niskarma karma yoga , astanga yoga, and Bhakti yoga,  the yoga of devotion . All varieties  of yoga , when tinged with Bhakti , advance persons to the highest form of yoga, which is defined in the Vedas as pure Bhakti yoga .

Bhakti yoga is always a progressive path , there is no limit to love , and Srila Rupa Goswami has made a complete analysis of its progression.

The vedas supplementary litratures assist all the yogic paths ,  the jnana path ,the  karma path, and the various other  trancendental paths are all nicely defined.

The Sruti are like the direct commands of God  , the Smriti are like a family members commands  , Puranas are like friends commands ,and the Tantra are like business deals , where benefits are on offer .

The Srimad Bhagavatam contains all these paths and  their different and varying epistemological calculations,  along with the etymology of the specific Vedic and  Vaisnava teachers are highlighted . How they translate and find specified meanings of  sanskrit in particular ways to describe their relationships with Krishna and the relationships of others to Krishna  will also be found in the various commentary of the different acaryas .

The Vedas , on another administrative level , is a living, breathing personality ,  every deed on the ethereal or gross classical plain is calculated by various agencies and the responsive universal order , like a giant automated ” A I ” system , responds,  such is the inconceivable engineering of Divinity .

We know that inside one of your cells are hundreds of nano machines, each playing an essential role for continuous cell representation,  all of which are  self-replicating systems. From Macro to micro, everything is happening by the supream desire of Krishna. This consciousness is Krishna consciousness , the founder of ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said.

As one of the greatest Vedic scholars, Srila Jiva Goswami has said in his Tattva Sandarbha verse 43 , Krishna makes the impossible possible,  by,  for the purposes of increasing Ananda , or trancendental pleasure,  He expands Himself and thus the individuals become simultaneous and inconceivably one and different from Him .

He has ” given Himself away ” , and naturally granted eternal autonomy and free will , never to be revoked.

Another aspect of making the impossible possible is that the individuals are not dead stones , or downloads of Divinity  , that are predicable play things for Divinity , although when the living being places themselves in the prison house of the material world they are extremely predicable to Divinity,  after all they are encased in His energy,  a high court judge knows the destination of the criminal , but not the law abiding citizens.

So in his original intended condition of  the individual expansions  of having a pure loving relationship and attractions for the unlimitedly attractive personality of Godhead,  Krishna or Divinity is placing Himself in the uncertainty of relationships , this uncertainty in relationships , within the spiritual realms is a constant source of ever new and expanding pleasure,  for Krishna and His devotees , and in these higher realms , God never knows what to expect.

Thus, the impossible has become possible.

The material body is the symbol of the gross and subtle form of forgetfulness; therefore the whole atmosphere of the material world is called avidyā, or nescience, whereas the whole atmosphere of the spiritual world is called vidyā, or full of knowledge. 

A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita clearly defines knowledge and ignorance,  unless one understands how ignorance and the lower conditioning works,  one will become subject to its influence,  the Vedas describes the subtle conditioning that influence our consciousness,  broadly described as The three modes of nature , Goodness , passion and ignorance.

These are like the three primary colours,  and as an artist can create many combinations of colours,  or a musician can create many melodies from ABCDEFG , similarly the mental states and motives force individuals to act in  unlimited and certain ways , the lower mode of ignorance is extremely binding and predicted events can easily be worked out by someone in the extream mode of ignorance,  the goodness mode has more freedoms and is less predicable,  in one sense.

Someone who is spiritually advanced is never effected by these three modes of nature , that try to compete for dominance , in all individuals,  even a man in ignorance can see and experience a glimpse of goodness,  and a man in goodness can be momentarily effected by ignorance.

The pure representatives of Divinity are said to be in Suddha Sattva , pure goodness,  trancendental to the material energies , one should seek such persons out , or research their lives and litratures , that is recommended by Divinity Himself.

So knowledge is important , but part of knowledge is having a deep insight as to what is ignorance and what is self-centred passion  , spiritual consciousness is not touched by such lower contaminated conditions..

Just as a conditioned man is constantly thinking of his immediate life , his consciousness fully absorbed,  similarly the top most yogi is constantly absorbed in Radha Krishna Nitya lila .

Rupa Ragganathha and many of our rasika acaryas have left their trancendental expressions and experiences in their litratures.  They are trancendental encounters of the highest order , only one or two verses, can sweep one away in an ocean of ever increasing attractions and bliss , what to speak of all their litratures combined.

Srimati Radharani never thinks of anything other than Krishna and anyone who thinks of Krishna,  automatically , Krishna thinks of them , such is His character. He is always obliged by love .

So instead of absorbing ourselves in our own lives , which are destined by fate to end , Krishna in Bhagavad Gita encourages us and says , come , come join my family and friends  , you have to change your body soon anyway,  come to my family permanently.

Those who have a trancendental taste for ” sophisticated ” city life can meditate and understand Krishna in Dwarka,  for those who prefer more formalities Krishna in the Vaikuntha planets , offers a even more opulance,  but with little less personal intimacy,  more awe and reverence is predominant. So, as Krishna says ,as you do my Bhajan ,or how you want relationships,  I will reciprocate perfectly.

Atoms,  according to how many protons they have , determine what elements they make , gold , and carbon. Oxygen, hydrogen etc etc. all have specific numbers of protons . Such atoms of various kinds using the valence electrons within them ,establish  chemical bonds , causing chemicals to combine thus formation of molecular structures occur. The molecules that are used for cell production are chiral, left, or right-handed . Life and cell production only use left-handed molecules,  but sugars are right-handed molecules,   no one knows why .

When synthetic chemists try to create molecular  chemical structures,  its very , very hard to get pure structures,  if they are not pure ,  (nature makes everything 100 % pure)  , the chemical bonds can break down .

The point is the Darwinians don’t understand the chemistry involved in  the forming of such molecular structures. And how orderly it is and how difficult the chemistry is that created so many perfect chemical bonds , using atomic structures,  that themselves are structured is specific ways  to make specific elements.

Molecules don’t actually move towards life , every thing starts moving towards life at conception,  when consciousness enters and a consciousness is encapsulated by matter , ultimately life comes from life , but atomic and molecular engineering are  already in place,  so the consciousness can form a particular body , molecular structures ACTG forming protein machines , that under coded information form specific body parts .

Such is the obvious order in life and information exchanges using codes that are more complex than computer codes .  In our experience, codes mean intelligence. Simply for the simple heart to understand.

Like most spiritual organisations,  ISKCON is made up of a wide variety of persons , each of whom are at different stations in life , both materially and spiritually , that’s quite natural.

The great systematic progressive path for everyone has been very expertly chalked out by the founder AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,  and it was clear to him , for the widespread dissemination of Krishna , an international society would be a very useful tool , and indeed the successful preaching goes on day by day in all parts of the world. As Prabhupada said, I have built the framework.

But we should understand that ISKCON is always going to be  many things to many people. Some are more taken by the peripherals, some more the  cor . Actually, the two should interact, and so they do , that’s how progress is made in the lives of all the members

The Siksa and Diksa issues and misunderstandings are easily resolved as well as the understandings and positions  of other Gaudia sangas , and so, too, the so-called Ritvic issues , all have their place in our traditions and philosophy , if one approaches in the correct flexible and respecful frame of mind . These trivial points are only a problem for one who has not grasped , the broadness of Srila Prabhupada,  Srila Bhaktisiddanta and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , or has not understood how Krishna consciousness is transmitted , or  the philosophical reasoning and proofs with in the sastra , all branches of a tree look different,  but if the rub the leaves together similar flavours are tasted .

The other problems of management of the temples ,schools and farms and various preaching projects are another matter and remain troublesome,  not only in ISKCON but in Multiple organisations worldwide, and not just religious,  they are always needing to be watched over , carefully ,  like others we  have made errors and have  been lacking in management,  compliance and risk assessments . But let’s not presume ISKCON is full of doubtful characters , but rather in a spirit of cooperation , work to resolve all issues , that have been discussed , and support and care those adversely effected in realistic and practical ways , we have many capable devotees with ample knowhow.

The whole  of the material energies are built and programmed  around  misinformation, and the consciousness is placed within an inferior energy,  other than its own true self , where truth and beauty can be found . With the help of many agencies, the conditioned soul is eternally fooled  into thinking one thing is a truth and another an illusion or a lie , the very word Maya means that which is not .

It’s very easy to deceive oneself ,  what to speak of others who have more karmic influences , having  the power to  deceive us . It is said in the Vedas that once one thing is known, everything can be known.  It is a fact that  one who can  familiarise  themselves with Bhagavad Gita , everything can become clear and clearer still .  We  can calculate that in this world of self-centred illusion, everyone is out to establish themselves as the masters of all they survey and that we truly have a toxic mix .

Deceit is nothing new , and although the internet can help quicken the pace,  it’s the same old game being played by operators who have the karmic powers  to weild undue influences over the unintelligent.

Many unintelligent people think they can catch out the intelligent ,  but its not that easy . Many influences are being played out, and sometimes the demons are favoured , sometimes the Divine . Srimad Bhagavatam shows universal history in its many pages and historic references.

What to do ? The answer given in all theological texts is to come to the platform of knowledge and renunciation by acknowledgement of the Supreme  autocrat,  and understand Him along with His associates and The Supreme Goddess of fortune , who are all our greatest well wishers , by doing so one can clearly lift oneself out of the world of the cheaters and the cheated,  that will be good for us and good for all those we may be able to help to  also give up the illusion of unintelligent  enjoyment seeking of  a fast deteriating situation.
