Krsna, who is known as Govinda, is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin, and He is the prime cause of all causes.
In the world of physics, one cause always produces another cause.
Richard Feynman speaks about Granny slipping on the ice and going to hospital, what causes ice to be slippery , what causes the need for hospitals, what causes bones to be brittle in old age what causes old age , what causes the consciousness to mix with material energies etc etc etc .
That idea describes classical determinism, but modern quantum mechanics shows that not every event at the subatomic level follows a strict, predictable chain of cause and effect. Classical Physics: The Chain Reaction Deterministic world: In macroscopic physics (like objects you can see and touch), every action has a predictable reaction. If you roll a bowling ball into pins, the physics equations can tell you exactly where the pins will go based on the speed and angle of the ball.
The Vedas indicates unpredictable outcomes are due to consciousness with a free will that is controlled by deterministic processes that are caused , by another cause, another superior consciousness.
Laplace’s Demon: 18th-century physicist Pierre-Simon Laplace proposed that if a supreme intellect knew the exact position and momentum of every atom in the universe at one moment, it could calculate the entire past and future.
He should have read the Vedas.
Indeed, not a blade of grass moves without Him knowing, but we are not dead stones , free will mean freedoms, the more one is aligned in goodness and pure goodness the more freedoms .
In regards to Lady gurus , some point out that Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada did not make Lady Gurus . However, he also did not make the men gurus. He appointed no one . Rather he followed his Guru Maharaja who said, the guru is is self effulgent to the prospective disciple, when this is understood as well as something else that Prabhupada said , ” The guru is one , no question of my guru your guru ” coupled together with Diksa Siksa Tattva we are committed to understanding of Guru Tattva. Srila Gour Govinda Swami would say ” If you want Krishna He will send a Guru ” We should also understand Sastra sanga, the param para acaryas wrote for purposes, ” When will I be eager to study the books of Rupa Goswami, says Narratom das Thakura.
Which current branch of the Caitanya tree is most successful in spreading Krishna consciousness? Everyone in their own way, no doubt, there is no one way .Although there are important foundations, the most important of which is to follow in the footsteps of all the previous acaryas . They have crossed the river , and got to the other side , and sent the boat back , as Srila BR Sridhar Swami once said . We should be sure to jump on the boat and take the full journey using the oars and keeping to the favourable currents .Sri Guru has also left instructions on how to navigate the waters , avoiding dangerous and deceiving currents .
In spiritual life, one must try to practice humility, respectfulness, and tolerance , the more one can , the better off we are spiritually . Offending others or becoming unnecessary angry , or devoping subtle cancel culture is not conducive for pleasing Divinity, who has perfect qualities. One requires faith , because faith takes one a long way , our wrong mentality can result in not having the faith that’s required to take one on the ultimate journeys of trancendance . Another effect of respect problems are one can not hear very well trancendental messages when others speak them or have conviction in the process of sastra sanga .The acaryas warn us all of the consequences of pride and how it delays the journey . A daily offering to Nityananda prabhu so He could give us the intelligence to see though our offences could be a valuable part of Sadhana Bhakti .
The complete journey of spirituality has been delineated by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who were personally taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It must be followed to completion, nothing added or subtracted or speculated upon . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami is his purport to 1.1.2 Srimad Bhagavatam says .
“But the devotees of the Lord rise above such competitions. They do not compete with the materialist because they are on the path back to Godhead where life is eternal and blissful. Such transcendentalists are nonenvious and pure in heart. In the material world, everyone is envious of everyone else, and therefore there is competition. But the transcendental devotees of the Lord are not only free from material envy, but are well-wishers to everyone, and they strive to establish a competitionless society with God in the centre. The contemporary socialist’s conception of a competitionless society is artificial because in the socialist state, there is competition for the post of dictator.”
Opera houses all over the world sing of love and intrigues ,and the condition souls are forever attracted to these types of duplicitous love , a secret love . However, in the material world , there is no purity of purposes. It is full of self-centred duplicitous dealing . What appears one way is most properly something quite the opposite, rascals and cheaters of every kind including within love affairs..Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita “I am your true friend ” and eternally so .”
Inebrieties mean more than just physical drunkenness; philosophically and culturally, they often symbolize a profound disruption, corruption, or “contamination” of clear, rational thought. Throughout history, altered states or revolutionary thinking have been viewed alternately as a sacred bridge to the divine , or a dangerous pollution of the mind and social order .
In regards to the position and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna, He is the supreme Nayaka, the Supreme Autocrat, the Supreme hero , God is all good , what appears bad is good in the absolute, and what appears good in men can be veiwed as bad .
The Supreme and ultimate mysterious workings of the Vedas are revealed to one who is beyond the good , the bad , and the ugly of this world . Thus, in Bhagavad, Gita Krishna says, “Give up all varieties of religion and Dharma and just surrender to Me.” Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur writes in his book “Jiva Dharma” of what Krishna means by His words.
The materialistic are on an imitation programme, but in doing so they may come to understand the workings of the Supreme Autocrat.
Krishna recommended in Bhagavad Gita many gradually calibrated steps in yoga ,and Dharma, but mysterious it is that towards the end of the Bhagavad Gita He says , now give up these lower paths and immediately come to the best of the best ..Krishna says those things , but Srila Gour Govinda Swami points out He did not show how . So , Srila Gour Govinda Swami points out Krishna comes as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and demonstrated how to do what Krishna recommended.
We have to carefully examine cut glass and diamonds.
One can be good at imitating another. The whole material world is a reflected perversion of absolute good , the illusions are so very strong , and everyone becomes mad after the “will of the wisp.”
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” first written by Charles Caleb Colton in 1820.
Famous Quotes on Imitation
Confucius: “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”
Vedic parallels….yes
Herman Melville: “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”..
Vedic thought…not necessarily
Marcus Aurelius: “To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.”….
Vedic thoughts ..not always ..it can be an envious approach.
Jean-Luc Godard: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”..
Vedic thought both the from and to are essential…but .authorities are essential
I wrote a lyric ,” night time dream day time dream ,where will reality be ? stuck inside illusions vaults with my so-called history. “
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami would say life is like a dream , but just a longer dream .
Gambling is very popular in the material world, the biggest casinos pull in big bucks , and the trading floors in every country exhibit the greatest displays of gambling , gambling inevitably means cheating , someone somewhere is fixing the Roulette tables. Insider trading means unsure and unpredictable outcomes. The Vedas discourage gambling and points to surety. As sure as death , so rather spending a life of trying to beat the odds , and accruing things by attempting to cheat the odds of the karmic world, the Vedas points to a world of acceptance and fair play .Naturally, persons are concerned for a future , but one should look further that a fleeting moment of time , take a trip to the grave yards , and don’t put all your ” eggs in one basket ” as the saying goes .
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur writes.
“Forget the past that sleeps and ne’er / The future dream at all, / But act in times that are with thee / And progress thee shall call.”
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur writes brilliantly in his song, “The jiva soul .”
Alas for those who spend their days In festive mirth and joy. The dazzling, deadly liquid forms Their hearts fore’er employ.
The shining bottles charm their eyes And draw their heart’s embrace; The slaves of wine can never rise From what we call disgrace.
Was man intended to be A brute in work and heart? Should man, the Lord of all around, From common sense depart?
Man’s glory is in common sense Dictating us the grace, That man is made to live and love The beauteous Heaven’s embrace.
The flesh is not our own alas; The mortal frame a chain; The soul confined for former wrongs Should try to rise again.
Why then this childish play in that Which cannot be our own; Which falls within a hundred years As if a rose ablown.
Our life is but a rosy hue To go ere long for naught; The soul alone would last fore’er With good or evil fraught.
How deep the thought of times to be! How grave the aspect looks! And wrapt in awe become, O, we, When reading Nature’s books.
Man’s life to him a problem dark– A screen both left and right; No soul hath come to tell us what Exists beyond our sight.
But then a voice, how deep and soft, Within ourselves is left; Man! Man! Thou art immortal soul! Thee Death can never melt.
For thee thy Sire on High has kept A store of bliss above, To end of time, thou art O! His– Who wants but purest love.
O Love! Thy power and spell benign Now melt my soul to God; How can my earthly words describe That feeling soft and broad.
Enjoyment, sorrow — what but lots To which the flesh is heir? The soul that sleeps alone concludes In them it hath a share.
And then, my friends, no more enjoy Nor weep for all below; The women, wine, and flesh of beasts No love on thee bestow.
But thine to love thy brother man And give thyself to God. And God doth know your wages fair– This fact is true and broad.
Forget the past that sleeps and ne’er The future dream at all, But act in time that are with thee And progress thee shall call.
But tell me not in reasoning cold, The soul is made alone By Earth’s mechanic lifeless rules And to destruction prone.
My God who gave us life and all Alone the soul can kill Or give it all the joys above His promise to fulfill.
So push thy onward march, O soul, Against an evil deed That stands with soldiers Hate and Lust– A hero be indeed.
Maintain thy post in spirit world As firmly as you can, Let never matter push thee down– O stand heroic man!
O Sharagrahi Vaishnava soul, Thou art an angel fair; Lead, lead me on to Vrindavan And spirit’s power declare.
There rests my soul from matter free Upon my Lover’s arms– Eternal peace and spirits love Are all my chanting charms.
Professor Albert Einstein in his comment that God does not throw dice , was responding to the many possibilities of quantum physics that both Bhor and Schrödinger put forward as reality. The Vedas agrees with Bhor and Schrödinger, free will within the responsive universes means there are unlimited outcomes, but the outcomes are destined by karmic synchronicities imposed .Gambling can not change destinations but can make them worse . What’s due is due , but however the process of atonement, sacrifice and especially the process of direct devotional services to Divinity changes destiny . So , change destiny the honest way , gambling means someone’s wealth is taken and given to another , in doing so the person becomes entangled and indebted in this life and next .Honest and good faith is the Vedic way and tollerance of difficulties , and an acceptance , but however remembering…..one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong.
The photosynthesis of the sun using specific light frequency reacts on the molecules inside the buds and seeds, that causes light energies to transform into chemical energies and the dna information kicks in and starts to function to spurt a regrowth on the molecular level , the preplanned growth plans are already in place . One of the unlimited Brahman energies, the light , react with another of the Brahman energies , the seeds , that are carrying the informational processes.
“This statement describes the fundamental process of photomorphogenesis and the initiation of metabolic activity in plants, where light acts not only as an energy source for photosynthesis but also as a signalling cue that triggers genetic instructions. [1, 2]
Here is a breakdown of how this process works based on current biological understanding:
1. Light Sensing (The “Wake Up” Signal)
Photoreceptors: Seeds and buds contain specialized proteins, such as Phytochromes (which sense red/far-red light) and Cryptochromes (blue light), acting as antennae.
DNA Activation: When light hits these receptors, they change shape and move into the nucleus of the cell, where they interact directly with DNA. This triggers the activation ofgenes that were previously dormant, signaling that conditions are right for growth.
Breaking Dormancy: In many seeds, light prevents inhibitory proteins (like PIF1) from suppressing germination-related genes, thus “kicking in” the DNA information for development. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
2. Photosynthesis Initiation
Green-up (Greening): Once the light signals germination, the embryonic chloroplasts (called etioplasts) begin to develop into functional chloroplasts.
Molecular Energy: Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, powering the split of water molecules and creating chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
Bud Development: In buds, photosynthesis often occurs in the sepals (the protective green outer layers), providing immediate energy for cell division and differentiation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
3. Growth and Metabolism
Production of Energy: The energy from light creates carbohydrates/sugars, which fuel the rapid expansion of cells and the structural development of the plant.
Genetic Regulation: Roughly 20% of the plant genome can be regulated by light, meaning sunlight is directly responsible for timing when cells start dividing and differentiating. [1, 2, 3]
We simply adore the scientific community who knowingly or unknowing reveals the glorious and unlimited intelligence of Lord Krishna in His Mahavisnu form . Mahavisnu is an expansion of an expansion of an expansion of Krishna. Mahavisnu is manifesting simultaneously millions of universes, each with multidimensional structures ,and housing the 8,400,000 different species of life, of which 400,000 are human like .
The sciences reveal highly specified information that the molecular structures are built from .The whole process from its beginning to its fruits requires a great deal of planning naturally . We would be rather foolish to think everything is simply random physics at work , causing chance chemistry and highly organised biological structures to spontaneously form .
A creative genius can come up with all sorts of original ideas and can solve any problems that might occur during a design process , and consequently , make the adjustments that might be needed . Tried and tested proved engineering designs are often tweaked, and a variety of variations for numerous other purposes are employed. Beauty is also an important part of design . Designed and successful products or machines are generally very attractive.
This material nature, which is one of my energies, is working under my direction, O son of Kuntī, producing all moving and nonmoving beings. Under its rule, this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.
Indeed, if this is true, there must be evidence of fine design within nature. Engineering , beauty, math , symmetry, and importantly, a process of how everything forms should all be present. The dna codes within the genome, a.c .t. g. rearranged like 000111000111 in computer codes are in place . Information exchanges and chemical signalling are the objective sciences that can not be ignored.
In answer to why the dna codes are quite similar, simple answer, engineer different engineering. Tweaked successful designs . NO monkeys bashing out chance codes on typewriters producing Shakespeare scripts .
In a real world, scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis are unreal .
We can understand from the Vedas that Divinity is the energetic source , the Supreme Brahman, Brahman is categorized as the superior spiritual energies , marginal spiritual energies, and inferia spiritual energies.Krishna is the supreme Brahman but because His energies are unlimitedly distributed in incomprehensible ways , Srila Jiva Goswami says they are all addressed as Brahman. An example is given that electricity can be used to heat or cool , likewise all categorized energies are spiritual , even so called material, for Krishna or His pure devotees , everything is Gods pure energies . When used purely, the so-called matter does not limit the spiritual person . Indeed, Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita, ” One who sees me in everything and everything in me I am never lost to him he is never lost to me . There is a verse that says ” The moon is covered by the cloud but by the light of the moon the clouds can be seen ” Material energies can directly connect to the spiritual since they originate from the same source. The Vedas, along with its many mantras , names, and descriptions of Divinity , along with its complete wisdom of all energies , all stem from the supreme superior source , the supreme Brahman Krishna. Divinity is reaching down , making connections , bringing the spiritual wisdom to those who are in maya , and maya means forgetfulness . We should be confident the Lord has multiple methods in place for communication and clear insights about Himself . By way of examples, great scientific thinkers , philosophically minded people, artists, and musicians will all speak about the curious powers of inspiration and gaining insights.
Divinities energies work in very wonderful ways . Although the gross body has many limits , the mind , intellect , and especially consciousness are much more closely connected to the soul .
Thus, although the moon is covered by the cloud , but by the light of the moon , the clouds are seen . Similarly, although our consciousness is hazy, unpredictable, and fluctuating in so many ways , it’s by the original soul that all its fragility is detectable . Our consciousness is like original pure light travelling through coloured , broken , and somewhat strangely shaped class , giving us many distorted impressions. The names of Divinity and the wisdom of the Vedas , that Divinity allows us to understand put our broken and distorted impressions back in their original intended state . In that state, everything becomes clear, and an understanding of Divinity is revealed. Soul on soul vision and experiences ,and not consciousness passing through atoms , elements, and compounds within a distorted subtle ethereal world .
The Srimad Bhagavatam is considered Sruti . “The Bhagavatam is considered apauruseya (not created by a mortal human) and is the direct manifestation of the Lord’s internal potency.” The fact that the Bhagavatam is the “natural commentary ” on the Vedanta sutra indicates its origins are divine, the Vedas originates from the breathing of Visnu.. The Bhagavatam also utilises the Itihasas such as the Mahabharata to bring attention to and clarity to its purpose so it can be easily understood to common men . The Srimad Bhagavatam appears and dissappear in the course of history . It’s like the sun , it is always present but appears to appear and dissappear. The Srimad Bhagavatam is according to Srila BR Sridhar Swami , he indicates , that the Bhagavatam is not subject to the particular or defined opinions of the Vedas or Upanishads which can be relative truths according to individual searchers of truth or particular worshipers , but rather the Srimad Bhagavatam is the supreme, ultimate conclusion of them.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana about the absolute position of the Srimad Bhagavatam and recommended its thorough study and understanding . The Srimad Bhagavatam culminates in one sense to the shining face of Lord Krishna along with His supremely ecstatic pastimes with Srimati Radharani in Vrndavana . Krishna exhibited his opulences in perfect , more perfect, and most perfect ways , Vrndavana lila with Srimati Radharani exhibited his most perfect sweetness .
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu instructed the Goswami’s to elaborate on the Srimad Bhagavatam teachings and the trancendental pastimes within Sri Vrndavana Dharma, and thus, they have given to mankind the most perfect of all Smriti , Lord Krishna in Vrndavana can be only understood through these six Goswami’s and ultimately through the mercy or Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The ministers and prime minister, although only temporarily in post , consider themselves leaders , however, are not to be considered ultimate leaders , rather, ministers of every kind are the representatives of the real leaders . In Vedic times that meant an Autocratic king who , under the directions of the intelligentsia , who were composed of Vipras , scholars of various categories, Brahminical persons , who were advanced in spiritual sciences , and who realised the self-evident truths of the consciousness in all beings , and also the Bhagavat acaryas full self realised persons , fully representative of theological texts such as the Srimad Bhagavatam. These three are essential, and the king or ministers should regard those three as the ultimate authority .So , ministers should never consider themselves our leaders , they are ministers who must follow the intelligentsia. Today’s democracies fail because ministers seriously consider themselves like Kings or they consider they need no guiding intelligentsia. Rather, they choose their own advisors who are as unfit as they are to be advising because they also fail to listen to the real intelligensia..
Prabhupāda: Well, democracy means anyone gives vote to anyone, so the man who takes the vote he may not be trained up, so there is danger in democracy. Just like in America it is now failed. You know such an exalted person president Nixon he is now charged with so many faults. You know that. So this is the defect of democracy, by simply votes you may elect somebody then again you will charge him with so many faults. Therefore the administrator class of men must be trained up, satyam, śaucam, titikṣā, like that. If he is not trained up, simply by votes if one is exalted in a post then again the reaction will be that Nixon was voted again he is charged with so many faults, that is the defect of democracy.
Guest 2: who can train.
Prabhupāda: The university will train, what for this Educational Department, this should be the process of training. The first class men should be trained like this, second class men should be trained like this, third class men should be trained like this.
Guest 2: By whom?
Prabhupāda: Here, the direction is in the Bhagavad-gītā, take the direction, and educational directors may take help and do that.
End ..
The complete Vedic literature of which the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad Gita are bringing key essentials to humanity are available . There is nothing new . To understand the wisdom and apply it , the intelligentsia have their realised knowledge source, the Vedas , and through Sabdha Brahman , pure vibration , and through pure intelligence , of the genuine intelligentsia , every thing is revealed , truth and widom follow the truthful and wise . Lord Visnu, who has created the world for the educational purposes of the living beings, has already said everything on educational matters of all sorts . The intelligentsia understand them by His grace, and by their purity, these two circumstances bring perfection .
Educated democracies under the care of the intelligentsia would work , but ministers must know they are ministers and not leaders .
The Vedic way of justice..
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj and Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami said the Vedic way is to call out injustices,.. one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong . In the Gaudiya Vaishnava lineage, these great teachers (acharyas) emphasized that upholding dharma (righteousness) means refusing to be passive in the face of adharma (injustice or wrongdoing). Tolerating or silently watching injustice is considered a dereliction of moral and spiritual duty, because both the perpetrator of a wrong , the passive enabler ,or sufferer who accepts degradation or as karma ,without a righteous stand miss the standard of truth and the purposes of the Vedas. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The blogsite, the Vedic spectator, writes about the different yoga systems within the Vedas , karma yoga , jnana yoga , niskama karma yoga , astanga yoga , and how by adding progressions in Bhakti yoga , this leads one to the perfect state of pure Bhakti , spontaneous and unalloyed pure love of God . Yoga represents the progressive march of the soul within the material world through the process of natural social and spiritual mobility . Yoga can also be taken to mean adjustment to ones psychology . The idea is somehow our originally intended destination of our consciousness has alluded us , we find our selves locked out looking in , looking inwards helps , but ultimately spiritual yoga is about rediscovered rasa or spontaneous love and entering the land of love and spiritual varigatedness , where Divinity resides along with the supreme Goddess of fortune. Spiritual yoga and spiritual life are not about psychological issues, pe say , but adjustments bringing us back to our natural condition , back home back to Godhead, one may say .
Chapter 6: Sankhya-yoga
TEXT 47
yoginam api sarvesam mad-gatenantar-atmana sraddhavan bhajate yo mam sa me yuktatamo matah
And of all yogis, he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who is Krishna Himself in the mood of Srimati Radharani , has taught the world of the glories of the love that Srimati Radharani possesses , if we want to love Krishna or understand Him in His most intimate and sweetest of moods , then we must learn from Srimati Radharani . Learning from Srimati Radharani means learning from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in this age of Kali. That is the topmost of yoga , a yoga of spontaneous love within the realms of Sri Vrndavana Dharma , without Srimati Radharani it is not learned of .
The soul , using the yoga processes , when it’s linked with increasing levels of bhakti or pure devotional moods , can free the atma from all its entanglements within the material world , billions of lives worth . Ultimately, yoga means to link with God. Goloka Vrndavana and the Vaikuntha planets are where God resides with all His associates .
Yes, The Vedic Spectator explores core themes of Vedic philosophy, viewing yoga systems as a progressive spiritual journey. It emphasizes that true yoga connects the soul (atma) to Krishna, the supreme Personality of Godhead , leaving past material entanglements behind bringing one toward spiritual abodes like Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrndavana through bhakti , pure devotion . Core Themes of Vedic Yoga and Liberation Progressive Elevation: Different yoga branches act as steps for the soul’s upward movement through material and spiritual layers. Role of Bhakti: Combining yoga disciplines with pure devotional service (bhakti) purifies the heart and cuts all material ties. The Ultimate Goal: Yoga culminates in re-establishing the living entity’s loving personal relationship with the Supreme. The Spiritual Abodes: Reaching eternal realms , of which Goloka Vrndavana is the topmost abode where God lives with His intimate associates , spontaneous love is exhibited, with awe and reverence put to one side .
The sciences of yoga .
The scientific yoga …free will , free wont , and neuron interaction.
Lord Krishna speaks about the glorious yoga system . Yoga means to link with God . To link with God, we need to know the uncoupling process , we can not be coupled with the illusions of this world if we want to understand pure trancendental knowledge. It’s like embracing a person tightly and screaming, “Let me go.” The commercial yoga groups understand very little of yoga. It’s a monetary show as far as they understand, good for money good for some fame , that’s not yoga .
Lord Krishna says this in His Bhagavad Gita.
“Everyone is forced to act helplessly according to the qualities he has acquired from the modes of material nature; therefore, no one can refrain from doing something, not even for a moment.”
Lord Krishna has defined a systematic process , from karma yoga to niskama karma yoga, then jnana yoga, then jnana sunya bhakti , this is the beginnings of much more development of the yoga of devotion process which has began to be accompanied by stronger trancendental knowledge. Trancendental knowledge also comes in various stages of development , there is in reality, no limits to trancendental knowledge. Bhakti is accompanied by and takes help from karma and jnana in the beginnings of the Bhakti process. In the phase of jnana sunya Bhakti , the stronger development phase of trancendental knowledge, the devotees hear from pure devotees and increasingly and directly from the Srimad Bhagavatam , and by the blessings and grace of all the param para acaryas they can study some of their many litratures and meditate on the lila pastimes described by them in their books . This process accompanied by rich” jnana sunya bhakti ” leads to increasingly deeper meditation, one could say the perfection of Astanga yoga, so this is pure Bhakti , and it is leading to purely enriched Astanga like yoga , unique because of being soaked with devotion and remembrances of Krishna lila gained through the processes of hearing , chanting and remembrances . Srila Ragganatha das Goswami in his meditations and instructions on Krishna consciousness lead us to the glories and science of yoga , as does Srila Rupa Goswami as well as Sanantan and Jiva Goswami’s. All were taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
The Professor of neuroscience Michael Egnor has made a point that brain neurons fire in different ways according to discipline and habit changes , those addicted to certain behaviours are almost forced to act due to psychological modes of nature . Modes of nature can change, and patterns of life and habits can change, and brain neurons will change with practice and habits . That Krishna is clearly telling us , we have free will , we can strengthen our consciousness and exercise a free wont . Ie .we will not let bad things degrade our consciousness , but we will rather elevate our consciousness through better choices and feel the benefit.
Unfortunately , low class leaders and scientific materialism, as well as the Darwinian hypothesis , have driven everyone to become like street dogs following their senses anywhere and lifting their legs on anyone. The Vedic way is one of elevated consciousness and progressive social and spiritual mobility for all , and the yoga systems are set out for that purpose. When the intelligentsia return, so will real education, the sophisticated animals will be forced back in their baskets .
