Albert Einstein found it very difficult to accept that what one part of the universe was doing could affect another part billions of miles away simultaneously , spooky action at a distance he called it .
But in the Vedic understanding of the universe all energies are emanating from one conscious source, that Krishna is directly and indirectly conscious of all living beings , and also situated in every atom simultaneously is recorded , another Vedic term is the all prevading Brahman energies . Just as you know what one part of your body does and how it affects other parts , so the great incalculable expansions of the universal form of Divinity are His conscious energies. He is equally conscious of the workings of the classical , atomic quantum , and ethereal planes along with their various actions and reactions , the repercussions which ripple throughout the universe, as the endless possibilities of karmic synchronicities play out . This Vedic reality is defined as the brahman , the oneness, and the innumerable differences that occur in all things , at all times and in all places throughout not just this universe but many many thousands of others.
So many of us spend our time fighting for justice or fighting to show injustices or arguing about what we regard as truth and pointing out deceitful and underhand behaviour But we , the Vedas say , have to remember that there is unity in diversity on one level ,and at the same time, a material world has many, many complex reasons for coming into being , somehow karmic synchronicities must play out but ultimately justice is always an over riding principle as well as arranging for learning proccess for everyone. On a trancendental level, all discord is harmonized in the absolute as Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami would say , we can say not only the spiritual planes but to a degree within the material world.
Ultimately, there is the underlying principle of an absolute truth and a supreme autocrat. The supreme autocrat is the origins of truth , justice, and mercy , as well as the all-important principle of mercy above justice, essential for liberation and freedom. Those who can not understand this unity in diversity on multiple levels spend their entire time in ignorance, like fighting monkeys or dogs, as they desperately try to establish artificial supremacy.
The Bhagavad Gita was spoken on a battlefield. Sometimes, absolute good has to reestablish the highest of principles , as much as a high court judge has a job to reestablish law to protect against those who insist on causing harm to others and that’s the perogative of legitimate higher authority who have wisdom in real terms. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
“Beam me up, Scotti.” Famously expressed by Captain Kirk whilst on a planet and awaiting transportation back to the star ship Enterprise hovering in space It’s, of course, actually based on contrived scientific materialism , that we are simply combinations of atoms and it would be possible at will to break them down move them in a light beam and then reconstitute them in perfect order in another place , certainly matter could be thought of in that , but our consciousness? The vedic understanding of dualism must be understood : is consciousness neurons firing in a brain or something more mysterious? Factually, according to the Vedas , our consciousness has the ability to transport itself instantly to destinations in many other planets and destinations , in fact, death means just that . The gross external body is left behind , and it is made of atoms , elements , and compounds . But even before death by training oneself in astanga yoga , the consciousness can travel in a different type of body instantaneously, whilst the gross body remains where it is , only to be entered into on return. This feeling may be somewhat familiar because in dreams one is lifted out the body, the body is totally forgotten , some people feel themselves ascending or decending from their bodies.
The Darwinians and those who profess to understand life are subjective thinkers , in reality, they are clueless about consciousness, that is a fact . Easy journey to other planets should be read by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , for those wishing to temporarily or permanently traverse the universe and beyond .
The Vedas contains many, many examples of space travel as well as descriptions of all kinds of space ships and so-called aliens . There are, after all, 400,000 different ” humanoids ” recorded in the Vedas http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Love is seen everywhere , in every species, we see affection and love , the founder Acarya of ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami makes this observation to his followers , and thus the Vedas teach humans are not alone in having souls or experiences of love and effection. Who or what are the origins of these feelings, why should they be present in every heart ? The heartless Darwinian claims it’s a mechanism of survival of the fittest , of cooperation and self interest and self preservation, its a strange heartless conclusion.
The Vedas can help us understand the origins of love and playfulness . The ontological truths of love and how it descends and permeates the entire universe are very clearly defined.
The three main personalities responsible for its origins and distribution are Lord Krishna, Srimati Radharani, and Lord Balarama, along with Their many expansions , who are expressing various degrees and different types and variations of love .
Although it’s said that Love is inherent within the soul , love is never a static or fixed , it has an unlimited expanding potential , that’s because the abode of love and the object of love are different . If the object of love is unlimited, this means there are unlimited possibilities within the abode of love . The chief personality who is the abode of love , is Srimati Radharani , and She displays the highest degree of love and is therefore considered the supreme Goddess of fortune . Balarama exhibits a different kind of love , but He also expands as Radharani’s sister to assist in Her love of Her eternal paramour Sri Krishna . So, the highest and most complete abode of love lies within the heart of Radharani . Both Radharani and Balarama are intimately connected to Krishna, and Their love for Him is incomprehensible . If we could acquire one drop of Radharanis’ love for Krishna , the whole of the universe would be inundated . It’s unlimited in nature as much as Krishna is unlimited, so much so that in Radharanis case , Krishna is always trying to understand her supreme and ever expanding love . The object of love Krishna can not understand Radharani’s heart, which is an abode of incompressible and unfathomable love .
Krishna comes to display to the devotees something of this incomprehensible love in His appearance as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Anyone who comes in touch with one of Radharanis intimate associates can aquire a tiny particle of a drop of the nectar ocean that is an unlimited tumultuous ocean of love which is the heart of Radharani , and as before said , just one drop of that ocean can drown the whole world in love of God .
Because there are arrangements between different personalities for transitioning of love , there are examples in the Vedas of one type of love developing or changing in nature, thus for example, Radharani may give permission for one of Balaramas associates who understand love the way Radharani does , and allow them to enter into Her loving domain.
Or someone from Vaikuntha who has love with awe and reverence may trancend the awe and reverence and experiences spontaneous love , this all happens by association.
Thus, we are not dead stones ,and love is never limited and can be transitional.
Can you get insight and see things as they are ? Vedas says yes . The psychology of the modes of nature are discussed, and the mode of ignorance, passion , goodness, and pure goodness are given in Bhagavad Gita and their effects on psychological conditioning One can transport ones psychological condition through the modes and their various mixes and the false impressions they give . Divinity and His agents are the supervisory board, and the methods of acquisition of insightful and realised truths of all kinds are accessible to anyone ..it takes training and lifestyle changes , the many systems of yoga can help us .
The whole of theological culture is designed for social and spiritual development, social mobility, and spiritual upliftment at its heart . Divinely inspired consciousness from within is the goal of life, both spiritual and even materially
If we don’t have that direction, we will receive the inner selfishly driven hankering that drives material consciousness, lust ,anger ,greed, envy madness, and illusion. And by bad association, we can plummet our consciousness to lower and lower levels.
The old old battles between the Demigods and demons are fought on many fronts .
In todays social media society.. Everyone wants to be influenced by an influencer or two . Historically speaking that’s nothing new , it’s just that today you have countless persons who claim to bring you something beneficial in your life , in reality they are influencing you to become even more deeply absorbed as they are , which is in self centred sense gratification or mindless philosophising with no authoritative source http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The impersonal philosophers think they are God but bifurcation has taken place, so one portion of God has been bifurcated, its not possible to bifurcate Brahman or anything connected to God , so one part of God is in illusion , and the rest of Him is not .The truth is that the part and parcel of God have been overcome by God’s superior energy called Maya . Both God the living beings and the illusions of Maya are all God’s energies. One and differences. .
We also have to factually and logically understand that matter is a real substance, although originating from atoms and electromagnetic energies is still a potency that is bewildering , it is not an illusion of a mental state , it is God’s potency .
The Vedas always recommend local development utilising local people supporting local communities and economic development founded on the development of singular countries with self-reliance. Essential commodities and foodstuffs are obviously imported and exported but not unnecessarily so.There are no exploitative global economics , but rather money is invested locally in local talent under strict condition with morals ethics and limited interest for investors . The goal of life and its purposes vastly differ and are supportative, not exploitative. This whole Vedic economic model is based on non encroachment with primarily locally based competition and free markets and the sharing of world skills and recourse. Currently the huge gambling casinos of the stock , currency and commodity traders , with global conglomerates infiltrating just about every country at every level , using social media with algorithms to effectively brain wash citizens world wide , both materially and politically and encouraging them to be nothing more than sophisticated animals with the only goal as satisfying their senses at any cost , its a hopeless senseless society that is increasingly destroying itself , and the creatures who also live on the planet , as well as the planet itself , frighteningly no one knows how to stop it or about turn http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Maya can not stand directly in front of the Lord , the Lord does not like to see His parts and parcels bewildered. At the same time He appreciates the sentiments of Durga Devi to bring the bewildered living beings to their senses and who think they may become separate enjoyers and create their own kingdoms . The reality, however, is Krishna is inherently and fundermentaly the supreme enjoyer, and the living beings who want bliss and knowledge cannot find it outside of the company of God . The supreme Goddess of Fortune knows this well and in Her form as Durga Devi rectifies this artificial enjoying illusion and brings the living beings back to a place that they have long sought a place of no anxiety. Vaikuntha .
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was asked by a reporter, ” What’s its like being a pure devotee?” he said, ” There will be no more anxiety.” http://www.thevedicspectator.com
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 rational ways obviously wishes to communicate with all living beings , His expansions, and to that end puts in place different measures or systems for it to be achieved , communications in many ways are ongoing . How communication takes place exactly is described in the Vedas .
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 .

TRANSLATION
I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas am I to be known; indeed I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.
Divinely has three aspects to Him , the Vedas tell us . 1. His impersonal effulgence that the atoms , elements compounds, and every aspect of electromagnetic energies and light frequency are devolved from , the whole material world is built on this superior energy to matter .
2, He is also situated in everyone’s heart, providing remembrance and forgetfulness , He also reminds and directs everyone’s activities . Inspiration of all sorts originates from His supreme majesty, in one sense everything we have, at least in the material world , are borrowed plumes . 3. Above and beyond those two aspects, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He exchanges love in an unlimited variety of ways with unlimited living beings. These affairs take place within His own abode with all His associates, and we are all invited to participate. Any artist worth their salt will convey something of Divinity and increase our inquisitive natures of life . Art is meant to inspire us to further understand life’s sometimes hidden purposes . We can say the obvious cause of all causes ,because scientifically, everything must have a cause . So , the origins should be thought about and learned about . Something never comes out of nothing after all , that’s an absurdity . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
