Any choice , and no choice .

In the world of reality we are losing control of our  bodies , they are forcibly   changing  day by day , whether we  like it or not , we have no choice ,  cells are  in  fast reproduction mode , the atoms ,elements compounds, and molecules are busy at work , and our leaders in scientific feilds are clueless as to how or why .  Despite their desperate attempt to research ageing  and deterioration of cell reproduction, they  unfortunately remain frustrated and bewildered. The only solution offered is the sticking plaster of plastic surgery,  which never quite looks natural.

It is indeed a great tragedy that should not be accepted ,  beautiful , young  , youthful, and ever enthusiastic for life bodies , are  being forced to change and wither away . Why should youth  be  given up ? Why should we blindly accept this happening to our bodies , along with confused  minds and depleting  wit and intelligence , we should not accept , rather, ask why ?

After all , why  listen to  speculative scientific materialism , such speculations can’t  even understand or account for dualism , ( mind and body as seperate energies) materialism constantly pushes  subjective bias , as fact based science , convincing the innocent public , that they know clearly how the world works , everything chance physical laws with no law maker.

The intelligence should be utilised properly in human life the Vedas say , make the best of your life ,  plan for a  real  future , a future where one  leaves  behind all  previous  past present and futures .  In order to plan properly , you must know your  best options . If you have not enquired about your current condition within a specific body that is given a  specific time , you are not giving yourself what you deserve . Although modern Western societies encourage us to become sophisticated amimals , the Vedas condemnes that approach as ignorance . Ignoring the onslaught of time and accepting death without question is animal life . Vedas says , “Look  into the best of the options  open for you , do so immediately , as  time and tide wait for no man .”

All is revealed in the Vedas and by the professors who know them and live  them.   So know your life better ,   know what  your  best options are . Make your plan , you know for sure   your consciousness is not the changing body ,  the Vedas offer  a body to match the consciousness energies in more ways than one .

Why,  how,  when  who ?

Adhyātma, means ones original pure consciousness , the Atma ,  conditioned by a material body and a material mind.   Bodies are made of atoms , elements compounds, and minds are made of material  ethereal subtle elements . The original consciousness has an opportunity,  by its spontaneous free will to turn either way , like a crab on the beach can run into the water or the land .According to their individual desire , they are given a place by higher authorities  either into  the  material natures  or directly the spirtual realms .

When they choose by their own  attitudes the  lesser energies,  they are supervised by  authorities working  independently of them , in various supervisory rolls  , and they are impregnated into the lesser energies,  and the Demigods monitor  the  reactive and responsive mechanisms that are automated , and karmic synchronicities begin . The  free will and determinism of the consciousness within nature springs into action . This planet  Earth has specific laws of nature ,  but in the  higher , lower, and middle planetary systems , different laws of time and reactions   are taking effect .

The ginormous universal form of Divinity, an  expansion of Visnu,  who is   directly and indirectly responsible for everything,  is lying down in a mystic slumber , and through His” yoga nidra ” sleeping and dreaming ,  is creating the temporary illusory worlds .

They are created , maintained and annihilated in the course of time  , facilitating the activities of each individual jiva .

Everything about the creation,  although appearing impersonal, is personal because  everything of the universal form is ultimately directed by Krishna in His expansion of Maha Visnu. This universal form also  includes  the  cooperation of all the demigods who reside in  different planets. It is  called adhidaivata.

The physical nature that consciousness is  experiencing  and subjected to , which include psychological conditions  , constantly changes , the  material bodies  pass through six stages: they are born, they grow, they remain for some duration, they produce some by-products, they dwindle, and then they vanish. Why this is so , and how the particular physical laws are operating causing the  deteriation of cells , that eventually can not reprocess themselves,  no one knows . The scientific community is trying to artificially slow down ageing and death . This physical nature is called adhibhūta, and it’s under the laws of this part of the universe . Time and physical laws operate differently within the multidimensional universe , the Vedas indicate . After all , why assume these laws are universally the same throughout our universe. The Harvard Prof Lisa Randall assessment of multidimensional space parallels  the Vedas .

The Vedas give deep scientific insight and bring the universal order to light .

Can a microbe living in a petri dish conceptualise anything of the world outside his dish ,  the laboratory where the petri dish resides  , or the  town the laboratory is situated , everyone one would probably give the same resounding answer….NO !

Could a frog born in a well conceptualise the oceans , he has some experience of water after all , and theoretically   could compare his experiences of the water within his  well to the oceans of the world , he might say is the ocean 10 times or 100 times or 1000 times bigger than my well  ? , his well is his only reference point, after all , his own  limited experiences.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita wherever the mind wonders bring it back under the control of the self . A mind is limited , but not the consciousness that the mind covers.

In the Srimad Bhagavatam, there are passages describing great souls leaving their bodies at the time of death . How they, before reaching Goloka ,which the Vedas says is the top most planet in a spiritual realm ,   pass through the many different planetary systems , both  lower , middle, and higher . Traversing  on they are  carried by the speed of their pure minds , past all the heavenly  abodes ,  past  Lord Bramha’s abode , past even all the  Vaikuntha planets , which are also parts of the spiritual realms .  The great souls watch all those  various planet’s  pass  them by before reaching  their destined abode , Goloka Vrndavana.

These passages given in the Bhagavatam give an understanding of the inconceivable  vastness of the material and spiritual realms . It is said that to understand  Krishna or Divinity  it is imperative to  accept that He possesses inconceivable energies . We are like a microbe of consciousness,  God is like the size of the Sun if we want to draw comparisons.

So intellectually using  rationale , we should accept that  just as the microbial creature in his petri dish could never have capacities to understand anything of the vastness of his laboratory  , or Dr Frogg PHD could never really understand the vastness of the oceans by using his well as a comparison . A sane person will  accept the  limited senses , limited mind , as well as  limited intelligence , obviously limit our capacities . Not to say we should not use our God-given intelligence to advance our understanding .God gives intelligence to understand and realise. We should definitely do so , Oxford and Cambridge universities originated  for that purpose . We should understand how great our universe is. But the true greatness of Divinity is beyond our capacity to understand , although a fraction may be comprehended perhaps.   The Vedas says  His  very sweet personality ,  which He is only more than willing to share , along with His playful and artistic nature, can greatly expand, allowing the limited to begin to directly relate with the unlimited . Understanding Divinity is a decending process rather than an ascending one .

Perfectly complete ,  no room for Darwin..

oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate

Translation

The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

The qualified and authentic Brahminical intelligentsia have properly understood matter and consciousness and accept and can see logically and scientifically that the inconceivable energies of our universal affairs appear to work in  set orderly ways , and naturally they conclude that what Krishna clearly says in Bhagavad Gita can be seen to happen ,  intelligence is at work .

The Brahminical thinkers also  accept that such  intelligence behind the universal order in  rationale ways and thus obviously wishes to communicate with all  living beings , His expansions,  and to that end  puts  in place different measures or systems for that to be  achieved ,  communications in many ways are ongoing

Inspiration and revelation , is one such method , which in turn can  take the form of written words , and it should obviously be accepted as a possibility , as much as anyone on any given topic , who has genuinely understood or have  found new original insights  into it will be able to  communicate to others .

Michael Behe from the intelligent design movement has nicely coined the phrase “irreducible complexity.”

I think the above verse  from Sri Isopanisad concurs with his thinking, and Behe being an intelligent and spiritual person seems to have been inspired by Divinity Himself to come up with that phrase.

The Vedas fully elaborate on how  subjective evolution takes place , meaning a mental state is responded to by a universal machine , which in turn offers specific tailored material bodies,  minds, and intellects to suit and that are entrapped in cyclic births and deaths , according to their free will .

The idea of  mechanistically driven chance affairs , without any outside agencies help  being the specific cause of anything , which is  the Darwinian veiw , is deemed illogical and objectively unscientific. In other words, it remains clearly subjective speculation, and as time goes on and more and more  obvious design and order in everything is detected , it becomes more and more  obsurd.

There are many mysterious ways that the machines of the body are manufactured. Here is one such example.

“In biological organisms, amino acids appear almost exclusively in the left-handed form (L-amino acids) and sugars in the right-handed form (R-sugars). Since the enzymes catalyze reactions, they enforce homochirality on a great variety of other chemicals, including hormones, toxins, fragrances, and food flavors.”

Enforce implies an enforcer , an engineer who is making distinctive plans , and it, of course, baffling  why chirality functions in these ways .

All purposes served by a small well can at once be served by a great reservoir of water. Similarly, all the purposes of the Vedas can be served to one who knows the purpose behind them

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is said that there is an imperishable banyan tree that has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas.

Just see how Lord Krishna is using those above examples from  nature to help drive home some important philosophical points in descriptions of the Vedas . Frequently, the Srimad Bhagavatam  uses nature  to illustrate key lessons to be learned.

The Vedas is extremely broad , it can be applied  in different ways at all times in all places with the variety of persons in societies. Whatever their status or current conditioning, they all can all find the benefits

The expert book Bhagavat , those who Vedic pure scholars and pure devotees,  know the art of Vedic application , The pure Gaudia vaisnava who is completely familiar with the purposes of the Vedas , should be sought after and  approached ,  any question can be put to Him or her , naturally a completely balanced and relative answer will be given . Ultimately, the pure sounds of the Vedas are revealed within the heart of someone who is sincere and who is 24 hours exclusively engaged in the services of Divinity , there are no deviations in the hearts of the pure representatives , thus Krishna or God is in relationship with such persons.

Intelligentsia worth following

The Bhagavatam discriminates between an intelligentsia that are worth following in matters of social development, sciences of all kinds , economics , philosophy & religion . The top most  of the intelligentsia  are able to distinguish matter from consciousness , persons unable to do so are not of the highest of the Brahminical intelligensia,  but can be classed as learned Vipras , who are scholars in various feilds,  and who always work under the direction of self realised Brahminical persons .

The Srimad Bhagavatam contains   many references to the proper adjustments to societies. It indicates that we have to understand  academics alongside realized knowledge of the origins of consciousness. In that way, know what are  clearly entanglements ,  illusions, and  deceit as opposed to  what is knowledge . Knowledge of knowledge and ignorance side by side is essential  . There are two energies functioning , matter in gross and subtle forms, and consciousness ,  in this existence of the material universes. In philosophy of science, this is technically called dualism .

Unless one understands these  truths , any knowledge one may have are  like so many zeros , and limits a real progressive path of lifes ultimate purposes and potential

When one is added to zeros, then substantially in every way comes about , the fundermental principles of material nature are elaborated upon in the third canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam , much detail of the ethereal , subtle,  quantum atomic plane and their interactions with the classical plane of physics is discussed .

Time is conspicuous by its absence ,

The Vedas have given  an analogy , it describes a clear pond with many beautiful trees surrounding it .
Looking at the reflection in the water, the trees surrounding the pond have perfect mirror reflections in its water ,  pretty clear details can be seen , but there is a slight shimmering in our vision , nothing steady .

Someone intoxicated might  take the reflection for reality , even though the reflection easily moves and changes in the wind . This analogy is given to give the idea of a material world and a spiritual world working side by side .  The idea is that the  living being is setting  themselves up to be supream enjoyer. The problem comes when the living being is trying to be an enjoyer of a substance that they know nothing about .

They know nothing of their past , little about the  present, and  their future is always unknown and uncertain , what to speak of the origins and workings of nature itself , they are clueless  . Even taking these points into consideration how can one become a real enjoyer in the world of uncertainty and ignorance , that’s impossible.

The form of Divinity , along with His associates  exist in their original spiritual forms that can not be compared to human forms  , but a human form. nevertheless,  is a reflection  of a spiritual one  although  with  many unsteady and unpredictable circumstances .  So, although our material life is completely different , it still has considerable similarities to our spiritual form .

In this material world there is much beauty , much artistry , a huge range of beautiful emotions , a huge range of attractions , especially in the younger youthful bodies , ever enthusiastic and ever new  enjoyment  that can be  experienced in countless ways in youth ,   but  its just a flickering flavour of something , it cannot stay , and time takes youth and  everything and everyone away . The movements of atomic particles and the deteriorating changing cells of a material body are the only real experiences we are having , it’s forced upon us ,  along with an unreliable mind and unsteady,  unsure intelligence.

Time is conspicuous by its absence in the bodies  or realms of Divinity, no atomic energies creating machines for consciousness to live in , rather  consciousness itself expands into form , and exists in a realm of the same consciousness energies . There has never been a time that consciousness did not exist, nor in the future will it cease to be .

Einstein , Teller. Bohr , Schrödinger , and Feynman could understand some of  these concepts , along with the vibrations of atoms and its many possibilities . Its amazing to think of our consciousness plugged into the atomic and classical world,  and that we are situated on a machine made of the material energies,  we are  an observer of our own and others reflections of a reality,  but underlying we are seeking a permanent situation of happiness . Two major events are always with us , to seek happiness and to avoid misery .

When we know for sure about our consciousness,  and look away from an unsteady so called reality and  cease to become absorbed in the flickering reflections , of our body and minds , then we make progress toward the permanent.  The Vedas point us scientifically to its origins and the origins of consciousness  . Any sane person should know the difference between the origin and a reflection , but being intoxicated with fake temporary enjoyments  some stay in the mirrors of their minds .

om tad visno paramam padam sada pasyanti suraya diviva caksuratatam

This verse indicates  that just as the sun rays are extended, they offer their benedictions  and thus, everyone can see the world by the grace of the sun.

Similarly, those who are spiritually awake , have special insight , which means ,and it’s confirmed in every theological science that they can see Divinity, who is  situated in everything and in everybody . By coming in touch , this widom and insights is transfered into a once dark heart , this is achieved  by somebody who is  respectfully inquiring and has a genuine appreciation for the self effulgent person. In so doing, we  can receive blessings and well wishes from a pure hearted soul . Thus, the vision of the spiritual saints  hearts  can be reflected in our hearts .

In the material world everyone is stricken with subjective opinions , such misconceptions are carried with us from many lives , but the essence of all knowledge is simply how to love God . It does not take academia or even much study , it just takes humility and an obliging and loving attitude and a surrender of the  false understanding of ourselves or our illusioned subjective thinking process

The essence of knowledge beauty and blissful life can be easily attained , its an uncovering process , beneath all our layers of doubt and misconceptions we will be able to find a spiritual realm . Divinity or Krishna and His associates are forever calling us , we must learn to recognise the call .

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has made the whole process very  easy.

Just chant any name of God , He is absolute , His name and form are identical , and He is fully present there .

The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra , or any names of God are   spiritually surcharged  and can easily award the highest perfection of understanding God , He becomes  your friend,  relative,  master, father or even your  lover , All names of God carry the callers to specific relationships with Him , along with His associates.

catur-varnyam maya srstam
guna-karma-vibhagasah
tasya kartaram api mam
viddhy akartaram avyayam
TRANSLATION

According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being unchangeable.

Here we see the words of Lord  Krishna in Bhagavad Gita,  so He suggests, there are already in place in  every single nation , an  intelligentsia,  consisting of realised philosophically minded persons who know body , mind and consciousness, along with the  Vipras , various scholars who have an  inkling for various studies,  leading to expertise in sciences ,medicine ,economics, etc etc .  There are also military men , as well as  administrative persons who can easily impose governance and compliance on society managing risks . Also, there are traders ,  buisness men ,and there are ample tradesmen and workers .

So each nation has  self-reliance, built in , regretfully the industrial revolution and later the technological revolution, along with globalisation, have  disturbed this natural balance of nations and their self-reliance has been compromised , they have been used and exploited , this has led to poverty and disempowerment of  nation states , as they try to keep up with false promises of the Globalist dreams of shared wealth , globalist market this illusion to unintelligent leaders , who are not  part of the real intelligensia . This  exploitation is  historically very deep rooted , but now , countries need some reorientation policies set in place , aimed at self-reliance with  its  its own people at the heart of decisions , not  profits for outsiders . All the types of persons needed to  make a successful nation are present in every country , Krishna says so , and we can see it ourselves,  so a conglomerate of nations , each self reliant in Vedic ways , and  not   global  conglomerates creating global networks from the USA or Europe. Practically speaking in real terms , today’s democracies have been infiltrated by the  plurocratic few that are fooling the many to become convinced they actually have democracies.

This will be the future ,  the Vedas call it ,  one and difference. This is the Vedic way and a fundermental truth one word different nations .

ISKCON, and its silent history .

Aug 6th, 2024

So far, an accurate and objective account has not been fully  recorded of the tattva transgressions   that were made during the 80s in  those difficult early days of ISKCON, as  Prabhupāda finished his services  externally, having established ISKCON.

The truths  of Guru Tattva or the origins of the soul have been written upon by the Goswamis and our acaryas, no need ever to  stray independently from their  teachings  , it being the heart of Gaudia Vaisnavism , its a serious mistake to do so  and should be accounted for and corrected.

The founder acarya of ISKCON His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had intended for Gaudia Vaisnavism to continue in  historic traditions under Rupa Ragganatha and the Goswamis,  as Mahaprabhu desired . Research of Sanskrit and Bengali literature is easily done , especially in current times .

Every historical account ever  written by our  Gaudia acaryas  that are contained in the Sruti should  not differ  from  ISKCON philosophy.

The  zonal acarya system set up was incorrect,  as was an over emphasise on Diksa Gurus , and a  reluctance to  teach  the importance of Siksa Gurus , both of  the  current and previous Acaryas , through their litratures,  as clearly described by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , who is presenting our tradition perfectly.

Unfortunately, we are left with a  silent history or, at most vague hints, at what  might have happened  in the past or who made decisions , and still, these effects linger . They were  difficult days,  the men and ladies were young , inexperienced , but Prabhupada instructed them to seek help with Tattva from Srila Sridhar Swami , and instructed Srila Narayana Maharaja to help his disciples understand Gaudia Vaisnavism , along with its  traditions .

Because of  not following the  traditions of  Guru tattva , or other aspects of Tattva speculations were abound ,  early leaders forced Grhastas to become Gurus and take to the Sannyasa ashram  so as to keep the management body strong ,  Guru tattva and management of the society became linked hand in hand , that was not Prabhupada’s desire or  specific orders  at that time , but rather is was a series of cobbled together ideas .

The  GBC , at that time  became  belligerent and head strong , giving the impression Prabhupada had appointed them Gurus , Srila Sridhar Swami and later HH Narayana Maharaja became isolated , devotees were not allowed Siksa from them , although Prabhupada said differently,  and ISKCON devotees found themselves locked into a system of management and spiritual guidance that was wrong ,

Even though  bad errors were made that jeopardised the faith  of the spiritual lives of many and put ISKCON in peril,  ISKCON stayed together as a society and is still functioning worldwide in wonderful ways . Its my belief that this is due to many reasons,  including and primarily because Prabhupada wanted it to , and also  its the desire of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja,  its also my belief that over the many  years the so called enemies of ISKCON,  Srila Sridhar Swami and Srila Narayana Maharaja, have greatly helped ISKSON,  to stabalise and to advance Prabhupada’s movement. Indeed, they were great friends of Prabhupada.

I would also like to see official acknowledgements of these events , to record the accurate histories and to make sure misunderstandings are cleared up and Tattva is reestablished in every way  , currently  there is  still an over emphasise on the position of Diksa , and also a misunderstandings , namely,  the need of   devotees to  study  our acaryas literatures in our historic param para , also still the  misunderstanding of our origins , which is with Krishna from His expansion as Balarama . Ultimately we came from a spirtual world,  because Balarama is in the Spiritual world , He is offering us service there , those that don’t  not take the offer , experience  the Mahavishnu aspect of Balarama, through the three Visnu forms overseeing the independent jivas within the material worlds .
