The mysterious phenomena of action in inaction and inaction in action are discussed by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita.

The more influential a person may be , influences are fluctuating according to current trends , which vary according to time , place, and circumstance . For instance , in a highly moral setting, an immoral person is completely ignored, and likewise, in a highly immoral settings a moral person will be  ignored. Looking at the current state of the world, its clear  immoral and highly materialistic persons have the key hand and have practically complete control over all kinds of influential tools, which are stamping their mark deep into the impressions of everyone’s psychological states . This is happening on many different levels , all kinds of unqualified persons in sciences,  philosophy,  religious affairs and political and social affairs are posing as authorities and the blind who have been nurtured by them are following practically and  unquestioning . One can say  scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has greatly helped with this initial independent trend as persons anoint themselves authorities. The very concept of one life, one death, no God,  do as you will brings such dark minded persons to power . However, the Vedas brings the reality of the scientific responsive universe , and bear in mind many  physicists won’t disagree with that evaluation of reality,  especially those who have thought about and carried out broad studies of quantum mechanics. The Vedas say the many possibilities of universal affairs means in reality what you might do and might say and that affects others in various ways is solely your responsibility and you are accountable in ways that are unimaginable. Although in todays world, perhaps the effects of algorithms hint at universal algorithmic processes.  Ultimately , in many unforseen ways, the universal order is at work , this is the compliance and governance of Divinity. Ignore it at your peril. There are many witnesses the Vedas say unbeknown to everyone , the Demigods , the Upadevas ,  who have ways and means of making observations are described in the Vedas . The observer effects in the realms of quantum mechanics can be considered in different ways . Any interaction with matter has its effects well beyond an immediate cause and effect . Divinity Himself is situated within the hearts and minds of all , He is the supreme witness and the best of listeners and the best  of advisors . Trancendental life entails  becoming free from any of the good and bad actions that bind one to the material energies . Although good is good and better than bad , it’s still not a trancendental action . In trancendental activities good can be bad and bad can be good . That needs to be understood by taking help  from a wise person who has  trancendental maturity . Krishna explains all in His Bhagavad Gita.

Acting exclusively for the pleasure of the Lord and His associates is something written of in the Vedas and learned from a pure devotee who is completely free from the universal cyclic cycles.

Bhagavad Gita gives the summary of this science of freedom from action .
Krishna says .
” One who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is wise among beings.”

Be sure …

Be sure you are being influenced by the right influencer .

So many seek to influence us for their own selfish interests , and many claim to know the truth of any given topic .
How do they know they know .

What is their epistemology, or what are their motives  importantly what is their state of heart .

Bhagavad Gita indicates the symptoms of true expression and the qualities of those that express it .

Living objectively is important, but also accessibility to a super subjective realm. The origin of absolute truth  the Vedas indicates. .

Love and lust

The most essential feeling a child must have is love ..

Its the inherant nature of consciousness to love and be loved .

The origins of these feelings stem from Divinity…
The further one strays from Divinity , love turns to lust .
The lust to be an independent enjoyer, it’s an artificial and impossible position.
Divinity Himself is the supreme autocrat and the most giving of all  persons , when it comes to love , no one can give more or receive more than Krishna. Although some say in trancendental circles , the Supreme Goddess of Fortune is the supreme giver and recipient of love , and Krishna Himself is always searching searching searching after Radharani because of Her incomprehensible love , which increasingly is experienced by Her .There is an eternal competition of love taking place between Radha and Krishna , and Hare Krishna means “an exchange of love “

That’s the Vedic way….to learn to love and accept love ..

The earth globe is situated mid range within the upper and lower fourteen planetary systems,  and according to some commentaries, it holds certain influences.  From this planet, one may rise to the higher or lower planets within the planetary systems.

Taking control of this planet has its effects on other parts of the universe in the sense of the  influences that could occur ,  the inhabitants of this earth each move to different locations and can greatly influence events , according to who ends up where .

The Vedic literature describes the battle between the divine and demoniac. Its also said when Lord Krishna or Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu come to the earthly realms the Demigods are queuing up to take birth for its from this planet one can become freed from desires for opulences that the Demigods are “plagued ” with .

The Demons don’t like it when this planet becomes overly divine because their universal influences could be affected .Sometimes devotees have the upper hand Sometimes the demons .

When Krishna appeared 5000 years ago, many universal demons appeared as well to disrupt Krishna’s work .Such demons have powers and exhibited them in many extraordinary ways . When Krishna appears here on this planet, it attracts the universal demons to attempt to ignorantly curb the Lord . There are many covert reasons why some particular demons can have the power to face off with Krishna,  which are discussed in the Vedas , and histories go back a long way .

Some demons were localised and had taken birth in Royal families,  an easy way to grab the reigns of power .

Although the demons with such extraordinary powers can also be thought to represent our own demons of lust , anger, greed , envy, and illusion about our standing , still greater and tremendously powerful demons exist in the multidimensional aspects of the universe.

So in reading the Bhagavatam we cannot limit ourselves merely to three demential space .

We should not view these events as allegorical per se . Also, what one particular person may experience others might not , although they may be present.

When Krishna was told that Bramha had come to see Him , He replied, “Which Bramha ?”

Lord Bramha was surprised,  so Krishna simultaneously showed our Lord Bramha hundreds of others,  some with greater powers and heads that he , they were  all in the same room .

When Lord Krishna showed his universal form , only two people saw it .

The discussions on the attempted insults on Draupadi could also be looked at perhaps in this context : Did Bhishmadeva see these events , who was the upholder of religion,  maybe not .Yet others maybe  could because they desired to act sinfully. Within Krishna lila, many unfathomable events occur .

The battle feild of Kurukshetra could not have facilitated so many warriors in three dementions.

More on this soon .

The British Empire were so devious that they set up a Sanskrit college in Hertfordshire in order to try to master the complexities of the language, which they failed to do , and then they reintroduced misinterpreted scripts to try to usurp the great Vedic culture which was full of wealth ,and knowledge of dualism . The tainted misinterpreted teachings of Christianity and scientific materialism were what the British failed to institute in India .The British were so in awe of India that they thought this intelligent culture must have come from the white man. So they brought  in the idea that in the past the superior white man had bred with the ” Indian natives ..
The British were thrown out .
But time moves in different ways empires come and go. The USA is now finding the unipolar moment has passed with the USA dominate ,
Certainly, the British brought things that were destined , like the modern world .
But now the ancient cultures are using modern technologies and reestablishing ancient cultural values, turning the tables on them . This is all the arrangement of Divinity.

In Gaudiya Vaisnavism, one’s own personal service to the pure devotee is essential and comes in many forms . Ones personal bhajan and understandings of Sri Guru along with the previous acaryas through their writings and teachings and their bhajan are essential to understand, and  that in one sense is the greatest service.  From there, many trancendental experiences may decend . Either in this life by grace  or the next life will immediately spring forth .Srila BR Sridhar Swami would say faith carries one a long way .

The clue of the purposes of ISKCON can be found in photographs of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja welcoming members of the British Raj to his Gaudia Math in the 1930s , making many special provisions for them , and also in the same manner welcoming many Western scholars and intellectuals.
The attempts for Srila Bhaktivinod Thakurs’ vision of Devi Varna Ashram had begun . Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj disciple Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami , having spent a life of study and seven years living in retirement in Vrndavana preparing for his mission took his Guru Maharajas’ messages all over the world , they are still reverberating and expanding . Anyone can connect whatever ones condition or status in life and fulfil life’s ultimate purposes.

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja has brought the complete , more complete, and most complete messages of Godhead..

When Krishna appeared 5000 years ago he exhibited His full personality , which is the most complete in spontaneous love within Vraja , and exhibited fully only in the company of Srimati Radharani and Her friends.

Krishna exhibited his desire to establish religious principles in his pastimes in Mathura ,Dwarka and in Kurukshetra.

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja brings full knowledge of the complete , more complete and most complete by his practical preaching activities of challenging materialism in very strong ways,  as well as deviations from legitimate spiritual practices,  no speculations or “add ons ” were tolerated .

But he also, on a number of occasions, revealed indirectly his most intimate spiritual position , that of  Radha Dasyam , in Manjari bhava.

Like Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu,  Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj had concerns for the world and as well he had ultimate personal deeply spiritual concerns for his services with the eternal realms of Vrndavana , executed with  confidentiality in Srimati Radharani’s services , but in another form .

Creating a Vedic world within the world of Kali

Creating a family with  spiritual values ..

His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has made an attempt to use the educational systems of the Vedas and create a  world  free from the  ignorance of scientific materialism and all that brings . In his forming ISKCON, the Vedas has been brought to light to some extent . The Vedic ideal is that everyone can live in a harmonized atmosphere where differences are respected and facilities that everyone needs , including the creatures of the earth ,can be easily obtained . Unity in diversity as well as all discord being harmonized in the absolute is the Vedic gift . This vision is based on the Srimad Bhagavatam,  Bhagavad Gita, as well as the eighteen puranas that bring a natural and  systematic education through its various cultures , The psychological position of the ethereal subtle energies are taken into account within the eighteen Puranas.  Thus, men of goodness , passion, and ignorance are offered facilities and systematic progressive lives . This also naturally allows for all  the specific needs of a ” multicultural ” society , where differences can be lived out in harmony.

Some people may openly criticize ISKCON, or Gaudia Vaisnava societies , and immature thinkers probably dont understand the significance of their work and their long-term vision. When initially creating  structures naturally also problems can be created that’s to be expected especially in young institutions.   Every family has to face problems and learn to deal with them and learn from them. Living in the material world with spiritual ideals will naturally create puzzles.   Critical Vaisnava thinking but based on Gaudia Vaisnavism,  management, and governance, along with compliance, are  essential in any family unit.  Obviously, so in a huge ISKCON family . Within every decent family, frank discussions are sometimes needed to advance understandings  and bring practical   improvements .

We can naturally understand that in creating the great  worldwide family of ISKCON for instance, in such  unprecedented ways , and with such  unprecedented preaching  that is carried out all over the world , the ongoing management of  such a   ginormous family will remain with us . Good governance means to  always address issues in the best possible ways . Every  large organisation is constantly having to do so . Social problems are certainly not unique to ISKCON or any Gaudia Vaisnava group . However, bringing the  greatest benefits of the Vedas , the knowledge of Krishna consciousness  to the world  is a  matter of urgency .

Traditional ashrams or religious cultures , generally have  women and men within their own settings .The Nuns and Monks live separately all over the world . Family life was  absent, and interactions with society were limited.

In creating ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had the vision that the whole world should be  given the opportunity to practice Krishna consciousness together, every varna and every ashram should be included . In so doing , Prabhupada’s ISKCON society has successfully brought Krishna consciousness opportunities to one and all in very practical ways.

If Prabhupada had created traditional Ashram systems , many aspects of society would not have been included in the cultivation of Krishna consciousness . Currently , it’s witnessed that ISKCON is very  successful and is fast  permeating everywhere in the world and within different social groups. Its influences are growing in all of the varnas and ashrams.

Earlier days  in ISKCON were very blissful and revolutionary  but particularly difficult in many respects . Young inexperienced leaders had a lot of responsibilities , and many couldn’t manage well. Consequences of failure can be problematic, but  we can not assume the utopian dream that all is rosey as soon as someone walks into an ashram , persons have come to learn , and unlearn the bad habits of material life . Risks are there in any organisation, and every organisation is now managing them a lot better , as do all  religious institutions .

Certainly, Prabhupada, through his preaching method, has opened up the whole world , every single aspect of society can now access  a Krishna consciousness experience, and the success of  his mission is astounding.

Although it’s claimed by scientists that brain waves are too weak to carry and be picked up by a receiver, they also say even the most weakest  electromagnetic waves can be detected with the correct equipment. The waves of radio and TV Internet are being carried with coded information and can pass through matter. Fibre optics carry information faster but require the  physical fibre , light is blocked by matter , and even the sun can be partially blocked by water vapour,  i.e., the cloud .That’s why optics are used ,  no blocking , rather, continued light signals.

It is a given that there is chemistry between some people,  but not in extreme terms for  everyone,  although everyone is mentally aware of another’s mental energies. They do not interface too much by the arrangement of Divinity , there would be mental chaos. However, the karmic synchronicities of future events are already forming along with the next body , and the  electromagnetic waves of mental activities are logged and received by Divinities agents , and will connect with the suitable electromagnetic atoms that will form around the consciousness bringing the next body and term of life .

Thus the Vedas indicates technology far, far  beyond the comprehension of mankind,  although some understanding is becoming clear .

The Nobel prize winner Marie Curie who discovered X rays was a member of  a circle who studied brain waves  .

• Attendance at Séances: Historical sources indicate that both Marie and her husband Pierre Curie were interested in the occult and attended séances, particularly those involving the famous medium Eusapia Palladino.
• Scientific Approach: While interested in these phenomena, her approach, like that of many contemporary scientists, was rooted in a desire to apply scientific methods to investigate seemingly unexplained events like thought-transference or spiritualism, as such topics were widely debated within the scientific community at the time.
• Think and act ” Vedically “
  Veda means knowledge .
  Act according to Dualism, you have a body but are not the body .
  What was your previous situation?what is your future destination? what determinism is there at play within the responsive universe.? It is a self-evident truth that your consciousness is passing through bodies , children , youth , adults, old people , same person different bodies ..
  Acting in knowledge is the Vedic way . Acting according to the speculative hypothesis of scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis that encourages a life that can be said to be no more than sophisticated animalism . Dying in such ignorance has been taught extensively within educational systems , in the name so-called freedoms of liberalised society , that suits the world of the globalists who all adore consumerists .Live today at any cost , even the deaths of others
  That is an artificial imposition on ones truely inherant nature.

The Western economies are based on borrowing and printed money, when the need arises , and also of promises of what a country and its companies might deliver in the future . This fuels the gambling casino like stock , currency, and commodity markets . Miniscule percentages  of the world benefit from  the gambling stock and commodity markets. Money should be invested in banks that can support local businesses and local economies within nation states . The international financial institutions are out of control , unregulated and are  infiltrated and exploited by a darker and greedy section of world communities . Such persons control governments instead of governments controlling them . The Vedic way are designed to instigate governance and compliance with the intelligentsia at the head . International pillaging and encroachments on international scales would come to an end .The USA leads the ways of debts and formally unipolar dominance. It has a 38 trillion dollar  national debt , it also makes sure it can service debts with approximately 750 military bases in 80 countries throughout the world.
The Vedic way of finance , diplomacy , and trading is based on the self-evident rights of all nation states , on fair trade deals , on sharing of technologies and support for all countries , and developed self reliance .The current unipolar world, which is now fading , is deliberately designed to make all countries dependent on one or two countries. This is completely against the Vedic ideals . Respectful relationships within  a multicultured world and, importantly, local economies, for local people in their nation states .This is possible and practical when scientific dualism is understood and taught , that consciousness development should supersede consumerism,  its the understanding that consciousness is entirely different from matter that will reshape ultimate world economies , and geopolitical matters

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

Translation

In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.32

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s process of mass distribution of trancendental Krishna consciousness enacted through primarily Lord Nityananda’s mercy brings about a trancendental and transformed intelligence that will enable the honest to see things as they are , both spiritually and materially , and to learn how to place faith in the real intelligensia who see the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings. Such persons are well wishers of everyone and are full of compassion,  they genuinely feel the suffering that others are suffering.

Knowledge means to know fully the true potential of everyone and be fully aware of the many forms of ignorance that have clouded truth . Both must be understood side by side .

To realise truth and to indentify ignorance, one needs the help of the absolute truth . From the absolute truth, both knowledge and the conditions that bring  about the absence of  knowledge originate . Both conditions are fully under the control of the absolute truth.

Previously, Lord Krishna established religious principles throughout the world by destroying those that falsely claimed to represent them , He did so literally and on a battlefield.

But times change, and in todays world, ignorance is being destroyed in different ways . The trancendental process of the Sankirtana movements that brings the chanting of the Trancendental sound , its this that bestows trancendental buddhi yoga ,  intelligence to see things in proper perspective . The chanting is  carried out with a  sincerity of purpose  under the direction of the param para acaryas.  In so doing, one revives position as a servant of Divinity . Divinity is served, of course, in numerous ways ,  Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given full details of this great trancendental mystery of Chanting and its results to the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana who have written extensively of the entire process . It includes the reestablishing of the Vedic principles and, most importantly, it reveals the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna and His eternal consort the Supreme Goddess of fortune Srimati Radharani  along with all Her friends . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu revealed this very same Supreme expression of Love that is displayed by the residents of Vrndavana . It is the highest expression of  pure, unadulterated , and unalloyed love of God, and Mahaprabhu  gave everyone the process of how to taste it very easily.

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates the spiritually minded person has , in all intent and purposes , two bodies . Our receding material consciousness along with the duly accepted material body that has been  tainted with various degrees of lust , anger , greed , envy, and illusions  , some of these bodies are more in the mode of goodness , some more passionate , and some more effected by laziness and ignorance  , however by cultivation of spiritual life one begins to move towards predominant goodness . That is a change in itself . However, the different body that Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur is referring to as a “different body ”  is the development of our spiritual personalities and a spiritual form  . This spiritual form is developing side by side of our material form , At times, in the immature spiritual state,  the material form wins out . As the spiritually minded person matures , the material personality is left behind fof good . The exact sciences of how they develop and decline are given by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana , who Sri Caitanya inpired and taught . A spiritual life in real terms is based on the development of a spiritually and mentally conceived spiritual body and that is achieved through the process of Sadhana and Ragganuga Bhakti , Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami havd written extensively on these topics , and thd chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra when chanted with purity and  with no offence , reveals everything , the pure Vaisnava teaches how to chant purely , by his or her grace one receives the seed of devotion and Bhakti devi can bless the prospective candidate . Its  important to systematically and gradually fully understand the processes and workings of the  different yoga practices , such as  karma, jnana , niskarma karma , and trancendental astanga, and ultimately rise to  pure Bhakti Yoga  , which transforms one’s consciousness , thus the spiritual  body is perfectly realised .The current material body can be completely spiritualized , like iron in fire acts like fire .

This perfection , however, is achieved only by the krpa ( mercy ) and blessings  of our acayas , the pure devotees, and ultimately the holy name, which is the means and end of spiritual life .
Automatically, our blissful kind nature comes forth more and more, and we free ourselves from the mundane materalistic concepts and always find ourselves absorbed in relishing and remembeing Krishna lila in one form or another.. Mahāprabhu associates demonstrated that, and Mahāprabhu practically teaches it .
So two bodies , one must supercede the other in time . In  so doing  , sometimes the devotees can be initially cold as they defend themselves from mayas’ influences, but they warm up bit by bit until fully on fire in their truely blissful lives .then all their characteristics become  sublime .

A real free market is most definitely the Vedic way

European and UK leaders have failed to house their own citizens, amongst other failures. They deliberately engineer fixed housing markets controlled by banks , with the help of political friends . Bankers become politicians, and politicians become bankers, so it is said wryly. High House prices mean more profits for banks and financial companies and less money to circulate in other parts of the economy. The government’s are controlled by business conglomorates and financial institutions, who have no interest in housing people at affordable rates , quite the opposite, they engineer shortages of housing , by failures to build social housing and by restricted supply.  Weak governments allow them to . The conglomorates lobby governments and donate to political parties.
The Vedic systems are socialist based, the middle way , with allowance for a legitimate free trade . Free trade is a word banded about in Western countries , but in reality, we have cooperative monopolies and a currupted world  housing market as well as many other types of businesses . There are billions of children living in temporary accommodation and billions of homeless persons . Housing for families if they can be had are blocks of flats with no garden . What good is that for children? Thus , democracies world wide are failing ,they are infiltrated by ruthless businessman who sponsor and donate to political parties,  who advertise their false promises to the uneducated,  who vote it unworthy persons,  slaves to conglomorates  . Educated democracies are needed , where the uncaring politicians are discarded, and the intelligentsia guide political persons who care , and bankers are left out the picture.

The Vedic Way is  localised economies , national economies,  and trading of essential goods as well as other items.  There are no international conglomorates buying up the world . Economies alongside scientific dualism,  society based on cultured caring consciousness,  no encroachments on others lands , but a cooperative kindly spirit , and importantly where the good rule and call the shots , not the bad and ugly.
