Although the Vedic spectator favour conservation of cultures and family traditions based on theological cultures , and it critiques Western led libertine wokeists who have Nato as their private army it appears , they are those who seek to form global monopolies and a one world culture, who use and pay for political influences , in a world where fools vote in fools , ie so called democracy, we know Putin is no Saint , but occasionally quotes Jesus in his talks , and is a traditional thinker who favours nation states ….Still , Krishna consciouseness itself has a lot to offer the world in many many ways , but the basic principle of sattvic persons, who live in the mode of goodness , and have first class characters, that we call the intelligentsia, are having influences within the world by their preaching and discussion and writings .There is much more to come, I feel . The Sattvic intelligentsia are the only ones who can put everything in perspective and call a spade a spade , as Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada did .ie. he called out rascal political leaders and libertine cultures, and especially he called out cheating sciences that present themselves as authoritative.

Conversation with AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Prabhupāda: And to get help for this realization we are concerned with everything. Naturally, politics, economics, science, art, philosophy—everything is included. And that is the perfection of all other subject matter. Everything has got an objective. So any of these departmental knowledge, namely politics, economics, art, science, philosophy, religion…, art, science, philosophy, religion, everything should be aimed to achieve this end, God realization.

Reporter:  thank you. But so, in this way, you have to, in all of the science,  economic, politic, etc etc.  you have to take position, sometimes perhaps. For instance, to  knowing of Kṛṣṇa  consciousness in politics, perhaps, you will choose one system or the other. And in the  sciences, in philosophy, etc etc  Do you..? . those choices should be explained to the people ?

Prabhupāda: Yes, it should be.

Reporter: It should be. Have you…?

Prabhupāda: Yes, we,  have explained it in our book, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, wherever the  possibility arises within the context of the text .

End of conversion..(edited for clearer understanding. )

During his many conversations, Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami would give the Vedic opinions on matters of science,  religion,  philosophy,  economics,  and social sciences.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna speaks about an upside down tree , its roots upwards, and branches down. It’s an upside down tree because it’s a reflected tree . If you travel to a great lake surrounded by trees on a clear and quiet day , you can easily see such upside down trees within the reflection of the water .The idea in the Vedas is that the origins of the “Vedic tree”  lie within the spiritual realms . Its roots are connected to the beginnings of a spiritual plane , but the branches reach into the material universal energies.  The further we reach ” up ”  to the outer branches of the upside down tree , the further we have strayed away from the originator of the tree , and thus forgetfulness increases of the real purposes of life .However, the further we climb ” down ” the tree, towards its roots , the closer we come towards the truth of the tree and learn of its purpose. Ultimately , the originator of the tree and the leaves and branches of the tree are all the  parts of the Vedas , and the Vedas  in totality stems from Lord  Visnu. The eighteen puranas consist of the connections within both  goodness,  passion, and ignorance.  So , it behoves us all , and it’s in our best interests , to climb down the tree , and towards the roots ,  and bit by bit approach the modes of  goodness  ,from the more passionate and even in one sense ignorant very outer branches . Ultimately , pure goodness and the trancendental connections with Krishna and family,  friends, and lovers are achieved by moving in the right directions.

When the Vedic spectator writes about the intelligentsia, we mean those that live Sattvic lives ..
Mode of Goodness
refers to Sattva, which translates to the mode of goodness. It is one of the three fundamental qualities (or gunas) of material nature that govern human behavior, lifestyle, and consciousness, alongside Rajas (passion) and Tamas (ignorance).A Sattvic lifestyle is a way of living designed to cultivate mental clarity, physical health, and spiritual growth. In Vedic culture, transitioning to the mode of goodness is the ideal way to overcome the agitation of passion and the dullness of ignorance.Key aspects of this lifestyle include first class behavioral Principles .A Sattvic lifestyle promotes ethical and mindful behavior centered around: Ahimsa (Non-violence): Cultivating compassion for all living beings truthfulness and honesty: Living a life of integrity and straightforwardness.Cleanliness (Saucha): Maintaining internal and external purity. Daily Routine and Mindsets centred on peace and harmony for all . Practising meditation, prayer, and Bhakti yoga to keep the mind steady and pure with devotion towards Divinity is essential. Action Without Attachment , and performing duties and offering charity with an attitude of service to Divinity and others , rather than seeking personal reward or recognition are Sattvic qualities. Ultimately, it means living in the mode of goodness that acts as a bridge to greater spiritual transcendence.
Society leaders must hear and be directed by these kinds of persons . CURRENTLY societies are led by ignorant and passionate persons, and the results are clearly seen.

What does Krishna say about the mode of goodness ..Krishna’s great servant says..

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati’s core teachings on the morality of leaders include:

• Servant Leadership & Selflessness: A true leader acts not for selfish gain, personal fame, or prestige, but dedicates their life, wealth, and intelligence entirely to the spiritual upliftment of others and see to their wellbeing in all respects
• Integrity (Achar and Prachar): Leaders must practice what they preach. Their actions must reflect the highest moral and ethical standards as well as those spiritual standards found in the scriptures.
• Freedom from Arrogance: Leaders must approach truth with complete submission and humility. They should refrain from deceit (kutinati) and avoid criticizing others with envy,  but only to point out hypocritical behaviour for the benefit for all .
• Defending Truth: He advocated for “fearless teaching of all objective truths in all fields , science,  religion and of social sciences , he must fight  against hypocrisy, and unethical practices, and see to it that both social and spiritual mobility are in place . Leaders are to maintain the integrity and teach fair dealing with lack of encouragement or exploitative profit making at any cost , such leaders must strictly control those who seek to do harm in every way.

Russia is being isolated by EU USA and UK , its all part of the Western libertine plans . Although Russia has created Brics with China and India , they do  have other outreaches . Taiwan and Nepal are China’s and India’s Ukraine….Fifteen Nato countries are bombing Russia directly or indirectly . Their goal is to snatch Ukraine under EU control and force Russia to accept Western libertine ” democracies ” on their doorstep . However, Russia know infiltration with Russian Conservative culture will follow quickly afterwards ….This could be the ultimate clash of cultures .  There are many nations who deplore so called “libertine freedoms” , which are a real threat to traditional cultures along with family and theological values.  This so called free world order in  reality brings  exploitation ,  poverty , bad trade deals , mass immigration and wars .If one  places  power in the hands of  philistines and globalist , who are strict followers of scientific materialism and Darwinian speculations,  the results are clear , look at the world.  ..Krishna Himself came to exhibit freedoms  of spontaneous love but had to leave Vrndavana to deal with Kamsa , who imprisoned His mother and father. He  later fought the Kurukshetra war.. and the Bhagavad Gita was spoken.
ISKCON and spiritual movements have to decide who are the kamsa’s , many  have appeared  .Some part-time religionists within the Western world are quite happy within the “libertine free” world, as long as money can be made , and any how ,  and by any means . They think  that as long as the miseries of wars stay far away from them …the status quo can stay put .
I suspect Putin is very reluctant to increase warfare to another level . He is a sane person, but 15 nato countries directly and indirectly bombing Russia will have to be responded to …….this could be serious……

Everyone has invested everything. NO one will stand down .

Devolution with local services run by local government representatives , along with encouragement , preferences, and support for localised economies is the Vedic way , as opposed to centralised governments , who are allowing global international conglomerates to monopolise essential services including housing , finance , energy and water supplies etc etc. as well as online services .Everything locally required can be localised and supplied by local communities directly or indirectly.
This model applies in all countries throughout the world , greed and exploitation and seeking money by any means including global encouragement is the work of the demoniac mentality , it must be faced down by the philosophically minded , those who understand self-evident truth in regards to the equality of all persons and beings , they are to be helped not exploited or killed , every nation state runs its own affairs with free and fair trade deals , cooperation and sharing.
The Vedic way..
http://www.thevedicspectator.com

That which is replicated by all individuals  learning , that which by knowing all people become completely knowledgeable , that which makes  direct perception and other methods become pure with the highest knowledge ,  that which is self accomplished , without beginning , which is the root of all traditional and pure learning and knowledge, should be accepted as sabdha ,trancendental knowledge. That sabdha is found in  bone fide scripture and in the hearts of who honestly live their lives by them and who can practically understand their applications. Knowledge means Veda . Sabdha is knowledge which is eternal , as the Vedas is , and such widom is  easily realised by one who is  honestly seeking truth

Srila Jiva Goswami tattva  Sandarbha , paraphrasd above , brings us insights into pure knowledge and its accessibility,  knowledge free from self-motivated mental speculations based on sense gratification or impersonal liberalisation.

When one actually comes in touch with the absolute truth, all other  truths are understood and are put into perspective . Sciences of all kinds can be seen to stem from an absolute order in self-evident ways free from subjective speculations that spring from atheistic minds . Both absolute and relative truths can be understood and accepted . Nothing stands outside of the absolute . The absolute truth is all inclusive and can be  easily understood and accepted by sincere searchers , the absolute truth can is very near but can be very far . The absolute remains truth for all time, for all beings , in all places , the crooked attempts to pervert truth but , but like pouring petrol on a fire , truth in all its glory blazes back and consumes deceitfulness . Truthful persons from each culture throughout history , or indeed ,  any part of the universe, are able to and have always been able to , fully  realise, and relate to the absolute truth and can happily together within truthfulness and diversity.

A person of truth  naturally includes everyone and every being  in their realisations  of truth . This is reflected in their effection and care for all beings . Friends and enemies are  state of conditioned consciousness expression . In absolute terms , there are no “friends and enemies ”.  In the Vedas it says from Lord Bramha the engineer of this universe down to the tiny insect , are all parts and parcels of the Supreme absolute truth , Krishna,  who has expanded Himself into many but who has not diminished in the slightest degree in any way Himself.  The purpose of His expansions are to increase His pleasure and share His sense of trancendental joy . Realising the truth lies in reciprocating and recognising the absolute truth . Objective sciences can help us see order , perfect math, and symmetry  within nature , truth is always orderly , and this can help us in our beginnings of appreciation and love , as well as understanding His purpose. When persons with proper attitudes ,  along with knowledge, reciprocate with the absolute truth, all relative truths  are automatically understood . Everything living can be  properly respected and harmonized . Nothing will be veiwed as separate from the absolute truth , everything having a connection to it . Naturally, an inner respect for all beings follows . Even the absence of truth is connected with the absolute truth , the Vedas call this maya , the world of selfish deceit and illusions . The material universe is one of the energies of the absolute truth and is used for relative purposes.  One who knows of the absolute remains free from its influences , and with the vision that all discord is harmonized in the absolute truth.

…A personal account by our teams now in place 

“We are cooking and serving 2,000 meals daily , we are planning to increase to 5,000 meals by the end of the week.

Our main work is continuing in Euston for London’s homeless, but since we have the skills to help struggling people in the aftermath of the earthquake, I thought well why not get involved.

Latest news from Venezuela.

A seven story building crashed down only 10 meters from our kitchen  . We had to relocate under difficult circumstances.

The  most destroyed parts of the city has been sealed off by the army, and unfortunately its no longer a ‘search and rescue’ operation, the people are crying for their loved ones and the smell of death is permeating the atmosphere,  these people are desperate,  and are glad of our setting up kitchens to feed them .

Consequences of libertine and promiscuous societies are historically recorded some will say ..

The downfall of the Roman empire can be attributed to its ultra libertine approach and over indulgence with its progressively sexuilised societies it can be argued, currupt and philistine leaders lost their intelligence. The Vedas indicates sexuilised society leads to lack of intelligence, intelligence is required for everything of this life and the next

While historically proposed by Enlightenment thinkers like Edward Gibbon, the idea that moral decay and hyper-sexuality caused the fall of Rome is largely debated. Most modern historians , although not philosophically trained or theologically so , and as such unaware of the consequences on the consciousness of individuals following extremes in libertine cultures . So, such uniformed historians give the opinion that the Western Empire fell due to a complex mix of systemic political instability, economic crises, military overspending, and barbarian invasions.
The Roman decadence, particularly among the elite, centres primarily on the late Republic and early Empire , can be connected to currupt behaviour and promiscuity. However, among Western historians , you will never find academic consensus that this “libertine approach” directly caused the collapse of the Roman state in the 5th century.

Vedic cultures are traditional, family based, and theologically guided .Vedic cultures steer away from the overly libertine sexualised societies that often cause anxiety , a strong identification with the gross body , depressions and family breakups . Modern  libertine cultures based on materialism can be seen for what they are . The actual bliss and happy spiritual inner consciousness is left far behind, along with the objectives of  spiritual dualism.

Traditional Vedic cultures emphasize a theologically grounded, ashrama-based social structure designed to foster spiritual growth, social harmony, and strong family ties. By prioritizing dharma (duty) over merely material accumulation, this framework provides a stable foundation for culture of consciousness. While this traditional framework remains a cornerstone for many practicing communities, modern adaptations are continually having to be made .Its important that misplaced ideas and interpretations by the smarta Brahminical classes be removed , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has introduced the Gaudia Vaisnava Sankirtana movements for this purpose. Caste consciousness , the lack of spiritual and social mobility,  and the minimizing of women have been reformed .

More on this with Vedic reflections soon .

The never-ending cycles of a material matrix and the universal dream

Einstein spoke of the space time continuum.  This parallels the Vedic scientific truths of the consequences of a jiva within the total material energies along with a free will , or a free wont , free wont means one controls the demands of the mind and senses , and leads a disciplined life .

The past is affecting the present , and the present will  affect the future . The present can also curiously affect the past because atonement and sacrifices change  fate .

Ultimately, it’s said in the Vedas that an artificial independent life of a jiva , who in reality is completely dependent , dependent on Divinity for everything , has been awarded . Its  given and  sanctioned by Divinity . Everything  in a responsive universe is responding perfectly.  This power to act given to individuals   or restrictions placed upon them  are calculated according to previous interactions within the individuals universal affairs . Indeed, Divinity Himself has to give the impetus and the  intelligence for the jiva to enter into the material universe , an artificial life that needs to be learned.  Every is happening under the watch of the supersoul , ( the Christian calls the holy ghost ) . Such are the complexities of the material matrix that Divinity Himself has to demonstrate to the living beings how to be a fake enjoyer .  First Divinity acts , first Divinity sees , first Divinity hears , through His unlimited expansions,  then the entity picks up inspiration and carries out his dream to Lord it over matter and other people.

So, the multidimensional space time entanglements are first enacted by Divinity in one sense .  This is elaborated upon by Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha , and with that in mind ,  consider what Shakespeare said ,” life is like a stage , we are actors ,”  Who is to say that , the 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s  and all of  those  inconsequential activities that took place , inconsequential when compared to the eternal energies , are not constantly  being played out somewhere within the multidimensional universes . After all, how many planets are in our universe, and according to the Vedas,  there are countless universes .

The inconceivable energies and supreme consciousness of Divinity have to be accepted as a reality before one can progress in knowledge of Divinity and His workings . One has to admit one is firmly in the grips of His energies… The Darwinian hypothesis and scientific materialism have to be shed … Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Divinity within a responsive universe.  The many possibilities  of quantum physics mean the  free will will be correctly responded to .

My question or statement to Ai was ….

“Ai scholars say Ai will change the narrative of history and culture and religion and bring  it in time  in the directions of the libertines and woke cultures and the global conglomerate empires narratives.

AI SAYS THIS .

Scholars of technology, sociology, and religion agree that AI will fundamentally transform human culture and institutions. However, while some theorists argue AI is shaping narratives toward secularization, progressivism, or techno-libertinism, research shows that models also reflect inherent biases and are frequently utilized to enforce highly polarized or traditionalist worldviews. [The debate surrounding how AI is shifting society and religion is expansive and multifaceted:1. The Secular and Progressive ShiftTraining Data Bias: Many mainstream AI models are trained on heavily secular, Western, and progressive internet corpuses, leading to concerns that they implicitly promote liberal or secular frameworks when answering ethical or existential questions. Homogenization of History: Historians warn that AI erasure can subtly filter out religious, regional, or marginalized perspectives, standardizing global history into a homogenized, sterilized narrative. Changing Romance and Law: Leading historians, such as Yuval Noah Harari, argue that AI’s mastery of language will eventually allow it to shape human culture, alter religious practices, and even rewrite foundational cultural narratives. 2. Traditionalist and Anti-Woke NarrativesReactionary AI: Not all AI is pushing progressive ideals. Research into specialized AI systems (like Grok) shows they are designed to be less sensitive to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) guidelines. Far-Right Propaganda: Synttic content is heavily utilized by extremist groups to push anti-immigrant and hyper-nationalist narratives, utilizing AI-generated imagery to paint traditionalist futures while demonizing minority or liberal factions. 3. The “AI as Religion” MovementTechno-Transcendence: Some researchers argue that the development of AI is becoming a religion unto itself. Silicon Valley’s pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) mirrors religious apocalypticism, promising transcendence and immortality. Religious Simulation: In academic and experimental circles, AI is being used to generate interpretations of sacred texts and simulate spiritual experiences, leading to debates over whether these tools cheapen faith or offer new avenues for religious resilience. Because AI systems are primarily reflections of the data they are fed, they do not have a single ideological leaning. Organizations like the Consortium for Evaluation of Faith and Ethics in AI study this, finding that AI frequently exhibits gaps and biases when handling diverse spiritual needs. Scholars suggest AI ultimately acts as a mirror of humanity’s deepest questions, meaning the future narrative of history will depend heavily on who builds and regulates the technology.

End .

Obviously, everything Ai says needs to be thought about and reflected upon. Knowledge in objective terms , and truth , originates from a truthful and intelligent person who can , with the help of other truthful persons,  and ultimately from the absolute truth Divinity Himself,  who sits in the heart of the truthful ,  bring about correct assessments . Divinity will do this to those who are honest and sincere and whose lifestyle and character reflect the teachings of theologically based cultures.

So Ai, like any person, needs proofreading.

The unfolding sankirtana movement

Just exactly how the Gaudia Vaisnava Sankirtana will infiltrate and influence world events in numerous ways is indeed something beyond our comprehension .  The clue may be in purification methodologies within the processes and propagation of the Sankirtana movements ,  which are beginning to operate in every aspect of society , and within  an opening of the  educational system .
The current mass media age has a lot to offer and a lot to look out for .  It was Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur himself who said any inventions brought about by the movements of time are meant for the Sankirtana movement . Essentially through the propagation of the Vedic teaching ,  and they must be very  carefully explained by mature teachers , and as well as the  Sankirtana sacrifices of chanting the pure names of God by pure hearted souls , then  greater and incalculable trancendental energies bringing a greater intelligence will build within established societies . Permeating  the globe , it is bringing insights that have been forgotten , purified  intelligence.  With such intelligence, everyone will see through the dark works  of the demons , who are currently the “in charge “. This process is underway but is still  generations away from its perfection,  the foundations are being laid, and the benefits are already with us . Litratures of our acaryas and the devotees  will be taken up and seriously read and learned .
Thus, Prabhupada said, “I have come to create an intelligent class of man “…Krishna will send more and more influential devotees, and with time greater intelligence will develop to understand Gods grace and his plans . People will understand , as the best of theological scholars already do , that different scriptures and cultures each serve purposes  , but that the ultimate purpose is to love God . Any scriptures that guides  one in that direction are good .  With greater knowledge we can understand cheating sciences and cheating religions , and identity rascal leaders who are in reality ignorant, having become blind followers of a failed system and been educated by it .. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu with a kind of new testament , bringing back the original Vedic truths  , as Jesus did , in his new Christian testament ,  is being introduced worldwide . Anyone, no matter what one past , can easily access and understand Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and very quickly learn to love God
Still , old habits die hard
, the old scholars of all religious organisations will fade away in time, and the new will find a  greater harmony in the diversity . A diversity that is quite natural,  we all see things in a unique way and feel things differently .  The spiritual renaissance  period will develop ,  and unity of the real purposes of theological matters will strongly develop….
Including every understanding of the practical aspects of the Vedas . Vedas means knowledge , knowledge of  science, religion, economics, political structure, etc .etc
As John Lennon said .
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one ..

The Sankirtana movements are underway
