  • Two bodies

    Dec 6th, 2025

    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 .

  • Who cares

    Dec 5th, 2025

    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.

  • A searching that never stops .

    Dec 5th, 2025

    Searching searching

    In spiritual life, searching for God never stops .
    There are the beginnings of searching and intermediate searching and advanced searching.
    In the spiritual realms , still , the searching continues.
    These searching for God begin at rudimentary levels at first in philosophically orientated ways but inexplicable and in the topmost spiritual realms end trancendentally and appear externally like a lover desperately searching for a lost  lover . Everything of trancendance from its beginning to its highest pinnacle has been described by Srila Rupa Goswami in his many many writings

    “He /she,” who is eternally searching for krishna , in intimate services carried out on behalf of Srimati Radharani, the Supreme Goddess of Fortune , within Goloka Vrndavana are the greatest mystery of Gaudia Vaisnavism , the Pranaya of Manjari bhava was also relished by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and is described by Krishna das Kaviraja in his Caitanya Caratamrita.

  • Mob rule .

    Dec 5th, 2025

    Skip to content

    Silencing the intelligentsia means mob rule .


    A life is a life , any life , human or in Vedic circles , any creatures life , life is sacred and taking life has huge repercussions for individuals and nations.
    The person of knowledge sees unnecessary killings as the victim’s of circumstances caused by envy  hate and ignorance driven by an ever increasing silencing  and further  suppressions of the influences  of the intelligensia .  Democracies have been hijacked by unthinking and unintelligent global conglomerates who have the political classes and  practically all of the media in their pockets , the unthinking follow the unthinking like lemmings of a cliff .

    The Vedas clearly defines the qualities of the intelligensia who bring wisdom , compassion, and clear thinking to any administrative body . Non encroachment and respect for the lives and rights of everything and everyone that lives and a countries resources and  facilities respected rather than exploited or stolen . Puppet regimes are not true governments , those who sell their countries for self-interest are not leaders .

    The self-evident truth of an  equality of every living being is always within the heart of the self effulgent intelligentsia .  Those who live in darkness and ignorance with a fire fly intellect try to convince others who are also in darkness that they have seen the light . The light of truth can never be covered by the darkness of those who ” democraticaly ” bring the clouds of mob rule that attempts to temporarily cover light with political or zionistic perversions .

    The wise man  of the Vedas says this ..

    A human being who considers the land of his birth worshipable, and who goes to a place of pilgrimage simply to bath rather than to meet men of transcendental knowledge there, is to be considered like a cow or an ass .

    Sophisticated animals are posing as great leaders, and smaller, sophisticated animals are running after the biggest animal. The biggest animals impose mob rule and attempts to silence the good .

  • Get balance , get Vedic

    Dec 4th, 2025

    Extremism brings extremism

    Extremism brings extremism , and then more  extremism . The wise are not only wise , but the  wise are balanced . The wise are those who understand the complexities of life . It’s a fact that once one truth is known, all truths fall into place . What is that truth ? It is to know and respond to an original cause of all causes . Everyone is part of that original cause  , thus, nothing lies outside truth and truth arises from Divinity , and because Krishna or God is the highest truth , all truth is fixed in Him . The Vedas are the breathing of Visnu , a breath of absolute and relative truth . Vedic means one who is in knowledge of all affairs , either directly or indirectly . Nothing is ever separated from Divinity , even illusion is part of the absolute truth . Multiculturalism needs respect, and so do  individual political systems.  The same also goes for religious practices that follow authorities , free from interpretations for personal and perverted reasons of any kind  .

    Extremism has many formats , some obvious , some not so .

    Extremism in political circles destroys family values as well as  historic and worthy traditions . Such libertine following and extremists also generally seek to limit theological influences , thinking modern democracies and their political classes know best . They are attempting to replace valuable cultures with  predominately atheistic speculative sciences , scientific materialism, and Darwinian hypothesis , is the name of the game , but they are presented in educational organisations as fact based sciences , that’s not true .Without knowledge of dualism , such  extremists are  orientated towards liberalism and  preach …”if it feels good, do it.”  into the heads and mindset of children with dishonesty and
    bias science . However, the Discovery Institute and the Bhaktivedanta Institute  are fighting to present a real objective truth . They are presenting objective science rather than subjective speculations . Check out both organisations .
    Scientific materialism , as well as Darwinian hypothesis and of course fanatical fanciful so-called religious teachers who teach exclusivity and hatred of other religions, are the cause of a misguided society , and they have allowed democracies to be infiltrated by unthinking business men , global conglomerates are bad news , they don’t create wealth , they steal from others directly or indirectly and create killing feilds.
    In Vedic Culures, sometimes impersonal energies are presented as being God and   that God is not an individual . This philosophy has some truth to it , but  because such impersonal explanations can not explain how  the order and laws of the universe are perfectly constant or have  come into being , Sankaracarya followers arguments are flawed , the  world is  real and present . It has purposes, and Divinity has set it in motion .An unintelligent  cop out can’t explain truth , a cop out as much as the Darwinians cop out in explaining  order and universal laws as a random chance events .

    Get balanced, get Vedic, get to know scientifically and objectively our life and times

    Einstein said that religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.

  • Whose war ?

    Dec 4th, 2025

    The campaign to spread liberalised conglomerate “democracies “, backed up by scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis and push them to every part of the world as if it were some kind of Holy grail are the causes of far more wars than religion..And in a scramble for the limited resources to pursue their industrial and technological ambition, far more wars to come .
    Only the intelligentsia with knowledge of dualism and respect for every culture can stop the greed of the globalist who control governments and mainstream media, including algorithmic processes..

  • Who is Prabhupada

    Dec 3rd, 2025

    Srila Prabhupada , in following the instructions of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, has in his writings uniquely attracted the whole world successfully in bringing an understanding as to what Gaudia Vaisnavism is about . Both its cor values have been presented in details  and the various systems of gradual development of Krishna consciousness through Sadhana Bhakti and the  progressive yoga systems that Krishna presented to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita have been fully delineated by Prabhupada.  Those that  later Mahāprabhu reshaped and  presented to the Goswami’s , that Srila Prabhupada  also explaines. The song that glorifies the mission of the six  Goswami’s is clear and their mission and purposes are very broad, the very same purposes of ISKCON made clear in Prabhupada’s writings . 

    Scholars and intellectuals from a full range of disciplines have greatly appreciated the books of Srila Prabhupada,  and it was also  Prabhupada’s wish that everyone should understand the writing of all the previous acaryas, as well as the historical roots that his books present .Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja said ” Whatever he writes print it ” That was said for a reason .  His brilliant writings  attracted modernity to veiw and become curious about the glorious all encompasing Vedic conclusions that are within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Caitanya Caratamrita. 

    Nothing is outside of Krishna,  the neophyte devotees see only Krishna in the deity form at the temple , or they foolishly dare to tread prematurely into the rasika realms of Vraj where even the small particle of soil is worshipable .

    The incomprehensible ISKCON moves forward in many ways and beyond the purview or comprehension of the neophyte or offenders , its purposes are immediately served and served long term . Thus, Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu full intentions are  within this very strong branch of the Caitanya tree .

  • The greatest good and the least harm .

    Dec 3rd, 2025

    Vedic societies offer the greatest good and the least harm to everyone and every creature and naturally to the multiple environments they reside in . Why is this so ? because the central orientation of life’s purposes and the goal greatly differ between a worldview based on scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis with their various educational system’s infiltrating students minds and representing those sciences as fact based , and the society that’s based on dualism, the difference of energies between mind , matter and consciousness ,as well dualism brings to light the objective sciences that can  clearly seen to be seen as remarkably ordered , precisely engineered and within which intricate codes and informational exchanges are seen during the assembly of all living systems that remarkably self replicate . The Vedas confirms the words of Sir Fred Hoyle that ” someone has monkeyed with the universe ” The Bhaktivedanta Institute and the Discovery Institute are full of trained PhD scientists but who present objective dualism as the real picture of our world and universe.

    Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , a brilliant author and scholar and pure devotee of Lord Krishna, used to say ” I want the greatest good to those who consider me their greatest enemy.” Jesus Christ, of course, said many similarly spiritually generous and compassion is the nature of spiritually persons.

    The advanced spiritually minded person is beyond the platform of friends and enemies, those calculations are based on the body or like and dislikes , what good and bad for my senses. The spiritually minded lives on another plane of truth and realised sciences.

    That I am black , white , Hindu , Muslim , Christian, Chinese American,  British,  rich. poor , educated, and uneducated are all bodily designations.  The soul or consciousness is well beyond these temporary designations .  One truly in knowledge can be detected as such by their detachment from bodily designations of every kind , even the animals,  birds, and insects are regarded  with respect .

    This is called Brahman realisation in Vedic circles and is the beginning of Krishna consciousness or consciousness of Divinity.

    Western societies led by politicians and scientists who follow scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , offer the greatest harm and the least good to all societies for those speculations and resulting calculations entirely based on identification with a body as who we are and who we ever will be is ignorance , they ignore objective truth to suit their subjective agenda. This guessing goes like this ….One birth , by chance , one death, then stardust , and that consciousness and matter are no different , the same substances.  Complete ignorance of consciousness is akin to living a life of the animals who never question their conscious existence.

    If dualism is ignored or not acted upon, then in real terms, societies degrade into the realms of the sophisticated animals, a sexuilised society with its consciousness in the wrong places .
    The all-important life airs  should be trained to circulate within the brain substances, not in the lower regions .
    The greatest responsibility of leaders is to elevate those they lead , but because we don’t have the intelligentsia currently leading, we are led by the greatest of those sophisticated animals. The lowest classes of mankind are regarded as the highest, and the real intelligensia are cancelled out in current times , as sophisticated animals might crown themselves kings and Queens in a child’s story book .
    That is not the Vedic way.

  • Plumber or brain surgeon?

    Dec 3rd, 2025

    There are different types of persons in society, and that is always the case worldwide.
    They can be initially described in four ways, but with many intermediaries , so not always black and white .
    The vedas define their qualities according to the particular abilities and working tendencies
    It’s very important to make sure that a specific type of person is allocated the correct position within societal and political affairs and the Vedas warns of the dangers of any imbalances and what the consequences might be .
    Weaved into these structures are spiritual and social mobility because consciousness can evolve or devolve . There are no labels that limit anyone , as is commonly thought by Hindus .They can , because of misinterpreted scripts , misunderstand the Prarabdha and Aprarabdha karmic laws as well as the power of purification by Divinity, particularly through His Holy names in current times .
    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the Gaudia Vaisnava bring the truths of the original Varna Ashram system to light .Currently, in society at large, it’s as if we have a plumber acting as a brain surgeon.
    The results are entirely predictable. Take a look at the world.
    Thus , we should understand the Vedic way.

    Actually, very intelligent people are widespread, and you could say fit for purpose. The problems come when many zeros don’t have the number one before them .
    This means knowledge has been stolen by illusion and scientific materialism, Darwinian hypothesis or materially motivated religion have so many zeros, awaiting the number one . The one represents dualism and a scientific understanding of mind , matter, and consciousness. That’s the Vedic way

    Here is example..

    The UK government racks up a 100 million pound bill on a covid enquiry without ever mentioning the word “gain of function research” or “Wuhan lab ” , where virus research and experiments were carried out with genetics , other labs were and probably still are carrying on , with knowledge and backing of USA and European scientists.
    That is the real covid enquiry that will never take place ..

  • Me and my dog

    Dec 2nd, 2025

    It’s unscientific of  both the theist and atheist

    Whenever one goes walking in the countryside, inevitably, you’ll come across dog walkers .  When they stop and chat with each other, it seems the favourite topic is the characters of their dogs .They are either Christian,  Muslim, Jewish, or atheistic, but they all miss the real point . Why ?   They have been spoon-fed, unscientific narratives about the nature of consciousness,  either by their religious leaders of science teachers .

    The fact is clear , the dog has a character,  as much as any individual animal , or  bird , reptilian,  or aquatic etc etc . It’s plane to see . Its self evident,  its logical , and using  one’s rationale, one must follow the conclusion instinctively.

    We have consciousness , we think , feel, and will . So do every  other species of life to varying degees . The religious,  although trying to approach God, must do so not with mere sentiments but with theological scientific knowledge of life . And the so called scientist must understand Dualism,  that a  body mind and consciousness are made up of entirely different energies , that is also self evident.

    Uneducated and uninformed opinions are being paraded by some  religious people as well as  atheistic scientists.

    The reason the dog walkers are speaking about their dogs’ characters is because, they too have consciousness along with a  personality . Its just that their consciousness is passing through the body of a dog , and our consciousness is passing through the body of a human .

    But next life ……all change .

    Read Bhagavad Gita as it is AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains why.
