Technology Technology Technology.

One can wonder , how is it that technology has increased so rapidly in a relatively short space of time , if we consider Divinity is cause of all causes ,what are his purposes in this sudden advent of an industrial, technical and global world , we could see advantage but equally disadvantages , and there are many of them

What are the pros and cons of a technically driven world .

A.C .Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

And where is this technology = Why a dead man is dead man? Where is that technology? You know the technology… When a motorcar is stopped, you know the technology how to start it again. technology to start it again. You do not know real technology. Therefore it is failure.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.7.16

The door is open for everyone, but the lower class, except brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, they are not interested Technology. Technology means śūdra. Technology is not the business of a brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya or vaiśya. No. These are technology. They are meant for the śūdras.

End of commentary..

Interesting analysis and ,of course , spot on , generally those absorbed in technology are awash with sensual and physical demands, and such technology serves as a  stimulus for further entanglements.

It is said even on the lower planetary systems technology is extremely advanced , Space craft ,and the like , sometimes in the approx 115 trillion years history of the universe,  the lower entities  make plans to inhabit and influence the universal order , earth is said to be an influential stepping stone planet. So, in the Puranas,  the historic accounts,  demons make plans to take birth in influential places to increase their hold  on universal affairs. Krishna has to facilitate everything and everyone,  so understanding why things are the way they are is complex .

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur would say , whatever the case maybe,  use everything for expanding Spiritual consciousness , Thus He, his son Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati and his disciple Swami Prabhupada,   used technology in Krishna consciousness and Mahaprabhu has a plan , yhe fast informed technologies have been used , as well as a globalised world to fast spread Krishna consciousness around the globe and to every town and village,  so the spiritual persons fight fire with fire , the  technology has come into the hands of the divine and no doubt,  its the most effective method of communication.

Karl Marx said religion suppressed people &  thought he knew better . A  path to freedom from conformity and authority Karl thought was intellectually mentally and physically highly appropriate and would bring greater happiness. Is it appropriate, though , that a child leaves the authority of the loving parent, who has the widom and experience  to sufficiently nourish a child and who loves the child , obviously, conformity is the best course of action for the child . In bringing  children education and  development both for the teacher and parents, there is a balance to be struck between suppressing a child’s nature and insisting and imposing standards .

In reality,  Marx  sought to control people & bind them to his way of thinking . We  can ask ourselves what knowledge of life’s purposes did he have ? Before accepting any authority, we must know who their authority . AND if we find  their speculative mind has cobbled up a philosophy in life or a world or scientific view , why would we want to put our faith in such speculative subjectivity , every thing needs thoughtful consideration .  It’s important that the principal of knowledge decending rather than only ascending should be examined,  how do you know you know ? and how do you find out how you know you know ?

Generally, we find people are driven by their temporary material senses and minds and reliant on a limited faltering intelligence.

Like five  wild horses, the senses , including the mind, can drag one into unwanted directions , the reigns are the mind, and the driver should be the intelligence.

But an  intelligence is recommended in all theological sciences to be in contact with his eternal passenger, the Supersoul or the holy ghost , the super subjective , along with His representations,  who know Him well . The Vedas indicates contact within the super subjective realm should be sought and identified.

Today, globalists , politicians, and scientists control the people  and, in the name of freedom, bind the people in temporary illusions and  uncontrolled hankering because it suits a particular economic policy that suits the exploitative.  In reality, they, along with their enabelers, get the unthinking to follow the unintelligent.

The horses of everyone’s senses and minds  are completely out of control, and the world is becoming increasingly unstable with widespread suffering that is  getting worse.

We must seek the super subjective realm and bring sanity back to everyone’s lives   helping others do the same, we must all  seek out the real intelligentsia .

The whole of the Bhagavad Gita gives us clear indications of who they are .We must accept the rationale part of our consciousness, and except God has rationale, and thus, communication between Him and His parts and parcels is always  ongoing

A state of eternality  knowledge and bliss is  a  natural state of each part and parcel of consciousness , i.e., each living being . Theologically , the Vedas says , one can increase two aspects of those three qualities by association that  ultimately stems from Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama , Srimati Radharani is representative of the bliss potency and Lord Balarama the knowledge potency.

Without further associations of those who are in association with trancendendence , and are intimately connected to Srimati Radharani or  Lord Balarama and without voluntarily rendering loving services to such persons,  how could one  possibly increase one’s trade happiness , in bliss and knowledge . In our experience, learning and love go hand in hand . Ultimately, the varieties of transcendental paraphernalia and the regions where  they are exhibited , along with the highest excellences of playful and spontaneous exchanges of love can be understood by transcendental love and learning ,  in the association of pure Gaudia Vaisnavas . It is Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama who know the  Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna  , without connection to Them or Their devotees the  Tatasta sakti jiva or the marginal energies of Krishna,  or the spiritual spark of consciousness remains in the relatively lesser bliss of the spiritual Brahman  , otherwise known as a spiritual light , an impersonal spiritual realm . These sparks someone  wonder in the material worlds mistakingly thinking it will  increase  their knowledge and bliss .

Indeed ,within the material planes , sharing, caring, and appreciated one can increase one’s happiness and knowledge, to a degree  and its a fact that  Krishna makes progressive paths that can gradually connect to higher paths . But the ultimate arrangements are always on call , that  anyone at any time can  contact and connect with Krishna’s pure representatives who serve Him by reaching down  and rescuing lost souls , or  as Srila Sridhar Swami puts it ” relief work ” these persons are the intimate associates of Srimati Radharani and Lord Balarama.

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.

This is taken from an article I wrote on Facebook…

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
