  • Union in seperation,  seperation in union

    Aug 27th, 2024

      I can say for myself although being in association of devotees and rendering services of all kinds ….and reading Prabhupadas books ……it was not until I heard from Srila Gour Govinda Swami…that the messages of Prabhupada and the teachings of our acaryas began to penetrant somewhat .

    Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja…Once heard  Srila Gour kisore das babaji Maharaja..chant some slokas glorifying Vrsabhanu Nandini, Sri Radharani..
    So although the Babaji was so called illiterate…srila Bhaktisiddanta came to understand his highest learning of bhakti rasa ..and Radha dasyam …

    So hearing and getting blessings from sadhu guru is vital …and Prabhupada gives us that opportunity……after all are we should always understand a pure devotee can make other pure devotees……if he cannot..we could doubt his trancendental potency….
    ..

    Srila prabhupada Preaching something like this … the English cricketer ,and captain  of the  Eaton cricket team as well.as Cambridge University team ,  and could have played for England..but , became an active preacher ..

    He was so enthusiastic to preach , much  like the monks of Iona , who lived in a remote island of the Scottish coast  ,but who later thought yo coming to the mainland to preach , so this this cricketer dedicated his life to others to give the messages of Divinity.

    So he composed this ..

    “Some like to live in the sound of the church and Chapel bell .

    I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell “

    So leaving Vrndavana,  Prabhupada you arrived in the west , although you called English green hell , the USA are the leaders of the modern world,  and some would argue spreading the influences of hell everywhere

    Although become of Prabhupada and his extensive  preaching and  the expanding preaching of  his  ISKCON movement, there is a chance of the world coming to its senses.
    Where everyone is searching in the wrong place for the pleasure the desperately seek ..
    Tragically even fame and wealth never satisfy…and his family are mourning his loss , as so many others who die needlessly seeking happiness through artificial means .

    Climbing into his backyard jacuzzi that overlooked the Santa Monica Mountains, Matthew Perry uttered the seven words that would ultimately lead to his death: “Shoot me up with a big one.”

    The big one, court documents would later reveal, was a dose of ketamine, a prescription anaesthetic and a hallucinogen that has become popular for its off-label uses to treat depression and anxiety. It was the actor’s third injection of the day.

    Prabhupada makes it clear  in his preaching
    That what Krishna says is truth

    It’s very difficult to find the truth of things today .

    We live in a multi media shadow world where so called truth appears in many formats …

    But the following is the judgement Prabhupada makes ..

    SYNONYMS

    Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons, do not surrender unto Me.

    Part purport…
    Those who are not actually philosophers, scientists, educators, administrators, etc., but who pose themselves as such for material gain, do not accept the plan or path of the Supreme Lord. They have no idea of God; they simply manufacture their own worldly plans and consequently complicate the problems of material existence in their vain attempts to solve them.

    As Krishna left Vrndavana to carry out duties,  but always remember the glorious Radharani and the residents of Vraja , and thus union in seperation was felt by Him
    So prabhupada left Vrndavana to carry out duties,  but anytime he could engage in deep bhajan , as he did and was fully absorbed in union in separation.
    Srimati Radharani Herself, even when sitting on Krishna lap ,can feel extreme separation and call out His name , thus, union and separation are trancendentally equal,  prema vicaita .

  • Glorious Prabhupada..

  • Hidden history and history narratives.

    Aug 25th, 2024

    We are always given the impression we have never had is so good , economic development, bulging wallets ,and just about any commodities you want to access and happy, healthy lives lived . Compared to poverty, diseases, early deaths, and much misery of previous era’s

    But just who are writing these narratives and who are they giving comparisons to. Actually while the Europeans lived in caves or shacks and during the industrial revolution upgraded to slums , other great societies flourished with extremely high education within  cultures  that were based on a fair and just social systems, with cleanliness and dynamic  progressively lived lives , not necessarily based on material opulence,  but more an opulence of happiness and recognition of the need to exlore the potential of inner consciousness and an absolute recognition of a controller of universal affairs. Of course we cant paint an absolutely rosey picture,  because we are within the material energies and our karmic synchronicity is chasing us down , but take a look at our modern world , who says we have never had it so good .We could name many many great civilisation  each of who lived happy healthy lives with access to extended educational resources,  both for practical means , and as well  societies who  were philosophically guided , many different types of  sciences were available for study . In society throughout history, there have been and always will be progressive intelligentsia  who wisely guide administrations and society as a whole , unfortunately in this age , they are silenced,  and a different class of person call the shots .

    Caves ,apes, and evolving intelligence are fake Darwinian narratives.

    We are often given false pictures of history,  ask Lucy Worsley,  the famous historian who makes history fun , but also is in no illusion  that history can be a  convenient narrative that is used to promote a false picture to fool the many .

    Thus, Vedic cultures and sanskrit languages shocked the British,  who came up with an obscure excuse ,  that white men must have previously been in India hundreds of years beforehand and integrated and married Indian wives , and that was the source of intelligence in India , so proud were the British who left behind them traces of their cruelty and exploitation when they empire collapsed . Currently, the USA are the temporary leader who have have left a similar legacy of cruelty and exploitation across the globe , and in their case, currently.

    Great cultures based on knowledge of consciousness and the universal connections are still influencing people positively to this day and greatly respected.

  • Krishna and His incarnations come for external and internal reasons, and so do His pure devotees .

    Aug 25th, 2024

    There are many reasons for Lord  Krishna coming to this worldly plane , and in reality, only His devotees know of them , both esoteric  reasons and reasons of  establishing compliance and governance within human societies . He sets standards , by His examples that great men can pursue, and this  is  achieved by  His impeccable activities . Lord Rama particular was concerned with establishing good governance,  and He demonstrates,  that a leader must listen to all the people , and be prepared to make a sacrifice , even if it might be hard to bear .

    In the first Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, we hear of Yudhisthira appearing before Bhismadeva , who was lying on a bed of arrows , preparing for death . Yudhishira lamented  that the battle at Kuruksetra was just to establish him on the throne , and so many had to die for that end  to be achieved.

    But Bhismadeva informed him of several things , that eternal activities within material nature  are all under the control of time,  and ultimately Krishna says” time I am the destroyer of all things . ” Ultimately Krishna wanted , on the battlefield of Kuruksetra,  to destroy political systems that are not based on either proper Vedic standards ,  or  that are based on   personal ambitions  unfit persons  that   were exploiting politics , for their own end , and in doing causing suffering , and disrupting  the natural direction and progression in everyone’s lives , Krishna favours  harmonious respectful societies with Saintly leaders

    The founder of ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami explains in his purports to the Bhismadeva incident ,  when there are  good leaders who are sensitive to all beings , and understand justice and the  regulative principles of freedom then people do not suffer  unnecessarily . Bad leaders create suffering.

    One can tell the current quality of leadership,  look at turmoil in the world .

    Prabhupada was also fond of quoting  a Bengali poet ,

    “One who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong. “

    Thus the mature Vedic student has to realise,  that an convenient answer of ..”.it’s just your Karma..” .has to be balanced out , by seeing to it that anyone in position of power is acting absolutely correctly and impeccably,  if he or she is unqualified , unnecessary suffering ensues , and those subjected to suffering by poor and unqualified leaders , should strongly protest and seek proper justice , but only with the help of an authorised judiciary.

  • A slice of the action in more ways than one ..

    Aug 24th, 2024

    Ethical trading is an important term , just how ethical , ethical trading is , one would have to research the traders and financiers that make such claims.

    What is the Vedic veiw of trading currencies , commodities , oil, stocks, and shares . Practically speaking, this is all carried out in self-regulatory ways . it’s far too complex for fleeting governments to get a handle on .

    The overall results of the historical changes from  micro to   macro economics has been disastrous for 98 % of the population , what to speak of the enviroments and creatures who belong there , the Globalists make  vast claims of taking a world out of poverty , but were  the former localised economies with clean air and healthy food so bad ? Tradesmen were proud to work for a fair days living , you knew your local Baker .

    Today the  public are unaware of what goes on behind closed doors,  with micro second trading ,  easy access to groups of persons setting up insider trading  blocks , its  common knowledge  the dark Webb is full of deceptive crooked persons making the most of  illegal  trading ,  with not a  legislator in sight , or law enforcement  officers .

    Unfortunately, this is all far too acceptable in current times . Central governance are lightweight, with lobby groups working to keep lightweight legislation loaded in their favour .

    The Vedic view , simple , if knowing that others are being exploited ,  one turns a blind eye , casting  ethics and morality  to one side , one becomes implicated and one will recieve by natures laws , both physical and via karmic synchronicities results .

    The Vedic systems would thoroughly overhaul ,  simplify investments , making it more localised and beneficial for home nations and local businesses as well as  local communities , not for  global conglomerates.

    Because  Western democracies,  although originally having good intentions in the early stages , have become infiltrated and overly influenced by conglomerates and global finance companies, global financial powers now rule over the political classes , and democracy has lost its way . The original idea is to vote for good leaders , but unfortunately nobody knows what the qualifications of good leader are , and the  real intelligentsia are being silenced by the media companies who are owned by Globalist , all media companies are political animals ,   now  free thinking honest journalists are few and far between.

    The Vedic reformation, which is under way, will educate people to see through deceit and redirect society for everyones progresssion and benefits , the real intelligensia will return.

  • The limited can only know something of the unlimited

    Aug 23rd, 2024

    Herein lies the problem for the snobby academic with handfuls of PHD s , and the citations he  writes , as if absolute authority,  and they’ll say ,” you can’t possibly understand how my speculations are coming into highly evolved  mind and  intellect, and how much closer I am to real science than you ,”

    You see they don’t accept William Paley and his assessment that if a watch was found in the long grass , by a jungle Dweller 100 odd years ago , the person finding it would immediately cry ,wow who made that ,what is its function ,how was it made .?

    The jungle dweller accepts the logical answer and won’t think , perhaps over billions of billions of years heat melted rocks and formed metal ore , and the wind and rain shaped the metal during the next billion years and during massive historic storms the pieces of metal were shaped further and volcanic eruptions and earthquake engulfed the parts ,and then after billions of further years bit by bit  and by random events the parts of the chiseled metal were situated close together and further storm’s and erosion meant everything amalgamated and this perfectly well explained  what could have happened and how the  watch came to be .

    The Darwinian narrative of an unguided mutational process , is like someone contemplating intellectually by speculations how a watch after billions and billions of years could have formed,  and to accept the easy answer, of someone created it is a sign of weak intelligence But the Darwinian can not give any indication as to how the information evolved in the genome or how the 42 million protein molecules in each cell  might have evolved by a gradual process and how  self selection takes place

    One thing they do know the human body, and its  brain  , far out completes , anything anyone can engineer and this machine self replicates , the thesis,  that it could not have been engineered by an intelligent source , because its just too incomprehensible,  is met with the antithesis,  that where there is smoke ,there is fire , that where you see codes and information you assume codemaker , the synthesis of the two concepts is to understand what Einstein said .

    Science without religion is lame

    Religion without science is blind .

  • Evolution or devolution?

    Aug 23rd, 2024

    DR Jonnathon Wells lists the problems of current Darwinian thinking .

    The Icons

    The 10 “icons” discussed by the book are:

    • The Miller-Urey Experiment: A 1953 experiment that supposedly showed how the chemical building blocks of life could have formed spontaneously on the early Earth.
    • Darwin’s Tree of Life: A branching tree diagram used to illustrate the descent with modification of all living things from common ancestors.
    • Homology in Vertebrate Limbs: Similarities in limb bones used as evidence that vertebrates (animals with backbones) are all descended from a common ancestor.
    • Haeckel’s Embryos: Drawings of similarities in early embryos used as evidence that all vertebrates (including humans) evolved from fish-like animals.
    • Archaeopteryx: A fossil bird with teeth in its mouth and claws on its wings, often cited as the missing link between ancient reptiles and modern birds.
    • Peppered Moths: Photos of moths resting on tree trunks that supposedly provide evidence for evolution by natural selection.
    • Darwin’s Finches: Thirteen species of finches on the Galápagos Islands that are used as evidence for the origin of species by natural selection.
    • Four-Winged Fruit Flies: Fruit flies with an extra pair of wings that supposedly provide evidence that DNA mutations provide the raw materials for macroevolution.
    • Fossil Horses: Fossils once used to show that evolution proceeds in a straight line and later used to show that it doesn’t.
    • The Ultimate Icon: Drawings of ape-like creatures gradually evolving into humans, used to show that we are just animals produced by purposeless natural causes.
    • We can add ,1. mutation mathematics, 2. the real truth of supposed junk DNA , 3. archaeology anomalies, 4 .the hox gene is not the lone body builder , 5 .the mystery of the origins of information in the genome. 6 .Lucy has the gait of an ape , no transitions, or  punctuated equilibrium, speculations are  evident . 7 .The mystery of the Cambrian explosion, 8 .  The mind-body consciousness question, the work of Nobel Prize winner Marie Currie.
    • Life comes from life theological texts say , life means , thinking , feeling , willing , intelligence and planning , as Sir Fred Hoyle said , it appears someone has monkeyed with our universe.
  • “Better be a slave within the superior energy than a master of an inferior one”.

    Aug 23rd, 2024

    Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami, the Godbrother of the founder of the ISKCON , Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , was famous amongst the Gaudia Math ( a spiritual organisation) , for coming up with brilliant philosophical truths coined in attractive and thought provoking ways. The founder of the Gaudia Math Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja,  the spiritual teacher of both Srila Sridhar Swami and AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,  very much appreciated his philosophical and scientific approach to the Vedas , and partly his way of putting trancendental truths into attractive phrases

    What did he mean by the title of this piece ?

    Loving exchanges is the purpose of life ,and it’s what everyone is looking for .

    Appreciation and sharing life and consciousness in such a way that all” discord is harmonized in the absolute” is  another of Srila Sridhar Swamis sayings.

    So , rather than attempting a life of  self-centred mastership of all we survey, with  exploitative calculated exchanges with others , in artificial pretence ,  that are  really only for our benefit , because an  individual tiny consciousness particle  is  unable to fully understand the  inner  needs , along with an  individual psychological yearnings  of others , the tiny individual is not equipped with the unlimited beauty or  capacity , and does not possess the blissful qualities of the originator of consciousness.  Divinity is the lone personality who can expand Himself and simultaneously and  perfectly reciprocate a limitless enthusiasm in spiritual love.

    So better we offer to assist Divinity in His superior realm , than become a master of a flickering life , which is far inferior.

  • The entropy of the cell .

    Aug 22nd, 2024

    Brian Miller , from the discovery Institute ,  gives a very complete analysis of the low entropy of a cell . Low entropy means very orderly,  for instance a teenagers bedroom is likely to have high entropy,  chaotic with signs of high energies and things thrown around everywhere,  whereas his grandmother’s bedroom has low entropy,  controlled energy with absolute order .

    Within the cell there is much energy at play , and various systems to extract external energies from the universal energies,  but it is transformed into neat little units of hundreds of nano protein machines, each working with extream precision maintaining the cell , seeing to its self replicating process and fighting off  various invaders. Very orderly  conditions within the cell , low entropy.

    With such complex systems in play and such order in the micro world of a cell , the Darwinians cannot even fathom how this could have mutated in this way ,or how long it might have taken  , or the mutational math involved. Thus, the irreducible complexity of Michael Behe is  thought-provoking .

    Certainly in Bhagavad Gita Krishna makes several references to order and the manufacturer of bodies , and the placing of consciousness within them , throughout the third canto of the Bhagavatam,  the fundermental of material nature are elaborated upon greatly, with parallels to quantum mechanics mentioned.

    Read up of Brian Miller, the entropy of a cell .

  • Time is conspicuous by its absence ,

    Aug 22nd, 2024

    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 future is always unknown , 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 as a reflection has some unsteady and unpredictable images, so our material life has many similarities to our spiritual form .

    In this 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 enjoyment is experienced in countless ways , but  its just a flickering flavour of something,  and time  takes everything and everyone away . The movements of atomic particles and the deteriorating changing cells of a material body ,is the only real experience we are having , along with a an unreliable mind and unsteady,  unsure intelligence.

    Time is conspicuous by its absence in the body 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 Feynman could understand these concepts , and 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,  and we an an observer of our own and others reflections of a reality,  a permanent situation of happiness we seek . Two major events are always with us , to seek happiness and to avoid misery .

    When we turn away from a steady  reality and become absorbed in the flickering reflections , of our body and minds ,  which are subjected to outside elements, beyond our control , the business of seeking happiness and avoidance of misery become impossible.
