Is there any connections between King Henry 8th rejecting the authority of the Catholic Church, and effectively setting himself up as a supreme authority of his own church and him later becoming a killer of his wives and a killer of many others , also due to the King’s degrading consciousness and later Cromwell setting up effectively the beginnings of the people ruling themselves that led to immoral exploitative entrepreneurs travelling all over the world conducting thievery and murderous campaign’s, during the beginnings of the industrial revolution , so this path that began from the kings rejecting spiritual authority and ended with the current world situation , and take a good look at all things , it’s bad , from conglomerate monopolies economics , no real free market economics,  a gambling and infiltrated stocks , commodities and currencies market,  scientific materialism that claim to represent truth in sciences along with the Darwinians , with a world so industrialised and so connected to the WWW but so disconnected to the hearts and feelings of others , world governments that kill for metals and earths and oil ..did this all begin when Henry rejected spiritual authority and set himself up as his own authority, did that take the world to where it is today , the British empire began where others followed , when spiritual consciousness is rejected nothing good comes about , rather a slow and steady course to degradation, that’s what we see , hypocrisy everywhere, no truth and the real intelligensia arecignored and some of them corrupted, and merged into the system

Take a closer look at what you identify with and why

When one strongly identifies with a particular outlook of a particular person or persons , for instance, their world view, one should be careful. Such persons  expressing opinion may even present particular strong scientific , philosophical, or political views  that are convincing . Consequently people may invest their consciousness, or align their own veiws even by changing their own  instinctive thinking and give up a certain independence , the results are an unthinking illogical path of an intellectual or mental state that  bring  blind acceptance to various crucial apects of life’s purposes . That can be the result of placing faith in speculations instead of analysing objective sciences . Handing lives over to another person and believing another’s subjective truth as truth is a major step in one personal life . The question is , should we sacrifice our own personal thinking power along with our natural contemplative internal functions and place  faith and trust in another’s  world veiw ? Why take such a huge step and investment of our own futures ? Scientifically speaking, for instance, we can consider the following statements.

A  scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of a natural world that has been vigorously tested and repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment , it’s never guessing but based on real events in a real world.

We can also say for sure , and leading evolutionary scientists will also agree , Macro evolutionary hypothesis is not at all proven as a  fact based science . It’s actually far from it , it’s a hypothesis based on micro evolution .Micro evolution is a natural outcome of environmental changes as well as exchanges of the dna of the  parents , some bodies being suitable for constantly changing environments do better than others . Honest scientists will tell you as much . That guessing and speculations are running wild when it comes to micro becoming macro  in an evolutionary cycle is clearly apparent. Especially because without  the mutational math calculations , it’s a totally unscientific assumption . The absolute truth is macro evolution has not been repeatedly confirmed in any findings or experiments,  in fact the opposite , an experiment lasting many years within the microbial world representative of many thousands of human years only demonstrated micro evolution, no changes in forms of the microbes , no macro,  although different environments were in the mix . Also, through extensive and long-winded experimentations, it’s seen that molecules do not move towards life within the best of  laboratories . A primodial soup of the Miller Uray kind remains totally unproven .It’s been over forty years since Miller Uray , and no progress has been made.

Yet this crucial information seems to pass people by . If we look at the educational systems and the governance of it , it’s hardly surprising . Students have been taught not to be critical of the Darwinian hypothesis and are not taught the alternative, intelligent design. They have, however, been taught to be critical of  philosophy and theological sciences based on dualism. Thus, todays students strongly identify with a Darwinian world view , without scientifically looking at alternatives. The whole investment of their temporary and fast-moving  lives, becomes  solely materialistic and fixed in this Darwinian world veiw . They mostly slot into the finance systems of economics and global conglomerates who instigate fixed monopolies with no real free market economics . Conglomerates visions  are for a forever expanding and exploitative market to make money by any means and by so doing crushing other countries around them and if necessary disposing of their peoples and cultures.

This scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis teaching is deliberate .  It very much suits the conglomerates economic development syndromes  of the crazed and greedy persons, who have no authorities over them who keep on producing increasing amounts of goods of every kind to satisfy ever increasing agitated minds and senses of a bewildered population who  will  never find satisfaction . Dualism teaches that the body won’t be satisfied alone  and that the consciousness needs satisfying along with it . That’s dualism consciousness.  The conglomerates like to think the sources of the materials for their goods are never going to deplete , and they don’t care what it takes to get them .Wars , famine , environmental damage, or natural habitats of animals made into wastelands .

So when persons base their world view on someone else’s world view without any critical thinking , we have got to ask  why ? It means education has  failed, and when a scientific hypothesis is presented as fact based science , it again means education is a cheating process. We need sincere and strong critical thinking of the scientific kind in order to understand mind , matter, and consciousness. Our  worldview  and goals drastically change when science is not a spoon-fed indoctrination but instead based on  the reality of an objective world and the science’s are self evident.

The Return of the Prodigal Son…
In Vedic terms the son thought he had the wealth of his father , but in reality he only had access to the illusory temporarily situated material energies the real wealth although situated eternally within his heart but needed to be brought out .The father mounts a rescue remedy in the form of the instructive illusory energies and most importantly God personally enters into the material world but is not effected by its illusions or attracted to them , as the chief of the prison when entering the prison is not attracted to it or effected by its rules .Divinity importantly sends his representative the spiritual master who infuses the living beings with the taste for pure devotion and association with God , thus the original purposes of their existence is realised, and they enter the lands where they were intended to be .The Adam and Eve story is meant to show how the beings were bound in illusions , the attraction of sex is the binding force , but that is felt in the street dog , there is something much greater, and the origins of all attraction lies in the Spiritual kingdoms and in Divinity Himself, Krishna. .

We should note whilst wondering in the illusions of the material energies every individual particle of consciousness carries with them their own self made prison,  no prison is identical with another prison, the prison has an internal and external compartment , ie. The gross and subtle body . If we could be placed inside the body of a spider , or a cat , or any creature how would we see , certainly this illusory energy is unlimitedly attractive to the conditioned souls who could wonder around it for eternity and still be attracted in one way or another. Thus the expression in the Vedas ” eternally conditioned souls ”

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.9

All occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.13

O best among the twice-born, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve by discharging the duties prescribed for one’s own occupation according to caste divisions and orders of life is to please the Personality of Godhead

Krishna explains in His Bhagavad Gita that everyone naturally has to work and that  one can not even maintain a physical body  without work .

In every species of life, this principle applies . No person or creature can stop doing something not even for a moment,  either physically,  mentally, or intellectually , making arrangements for eating , sleeping , sex and defending territories or gains all require work .

Thus, the practical Srimad Bhagavatam recommends a  therapeutic process of linking ones natural occupational activities in a sacrifice toward Divinity for the purposes of understanding original occupations and the origin of all activity. What ever you do , do it as an offering to Me , live your life dedicated to Me and searching after Me , maintain yourself in a sacrifice for Me,  utalising any excessive energies of funds for My purposes,  My purposes are always for the ultimate benefit of every living being .

This can be done either directly for Krishna and that brings the best of sacrifices or indirectly a slower but systematic progress towards Divinity the Vedas say.

The peripheral goals of the Vedas always link to the cor values of the Vedas . They should be properly understood and  be heard with attention from the pure person Bhagavat , meaning a person who has understood the Vedas and can properly guide.

Depending on one’s circumstances, one chooses a  path suitable that is linked to the Vedas and is  recommended by the saintly persons who are in knowledge. One should stay on the elevator of sacrifice and not hop off on one particular floor and stay there becoming attached. One floor may be suitable for one stage of life but not for all stages .. one must always move forward in sacrifices .

Everything about the Vedas is perfectly complete, and one can find completeness within oneself at all stages of life , but still be forever increasing in knowledge and sacrifice.

The complete systems of social sciences are fully described in the Srimad Bhagavatam from start to finish , all kinds of people at every stage of their lives are facilitated , and the Param Gatim , the ultimate goal of pure loving services to Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead is elaborated on in full .

The Vedic moon ….
Sadaputa analysis is that in an astrolabe model the moon is shown last on the layers of orbits , so it looks like the moon is further away than the sun , but that is just a feature of the astrolabe model.
Srila Prabhupada sent Sadaputa prabhu to South India to consult the followers of Ramanuja Acarya regarding details of 5th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam
So Prabhupada never claimed to be an expert at everything in cosmological matters and wanted Sastra evidence from the Vedas that Sadaputa collected and analysed along with other Vedic texts .
The multidimensional universe can mean the moon is most definitely a heavenly realm within one plane of Vision.Its moonlight flavours the vegetation according to the Vedas , as it transforms the suns rays to moonlight rays . The moons’ powers also pull the oceans’ currents, and it’s seen to affect the minds of the conditioned souls . In the tenth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam the moon causes Lord Krishna to enter the most romantic of all romantics ,Rasa dance , He sees the beauty of the Gopies faces in the full moon ,and romance floods the reals of Vraja .So the moon is no ordinary lump of rock .
But conditioned senses and souls attached to the material atmosphere will not see or have any insights into these aspects of the moon .
Like bulls tethered to a post , they are limited in everything. Prabhupada says.
So , if they did land on the moon ,and the jury is out , but , the moon according to Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami’s Surya siddhant litrature , is 238.000 miles away , they may have landed ,and could simply only see rocks and collect dust ..and not its heavenly features.
Unable to enter into the other higher realms of the heavenly planes, that takes development of consciousness.
Prof Lisa Randall PhD Harvard Prof, writes on the multidimensional universe, akin to the Bhagavatam , recognition of planes of existence not seen with our senses .Her branes Hypothesis, as in membranes,.
http://www.thevedicspectator.com

What Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja has taught, amongst many things, is that the Smarta Brahmanas of India who have gained their position by previous sacrifices propelling them in their Aprarabdha karmic synchronicities into their current Prarabdha state , are in danger of degrading themselves due to pride and misunderstandings and thus they are building up within their Prarabdha state further Aprarabdha karmic synchronicities , and pride and arrogance lead to degraded Prarabdha states .

Meanwhile, those in poorer Prarabdha states , who accept wholeheartedly ,the pure Vaisnava into their hearts are surpassing any influences of such conditioning of their Prarabdha states , and being propelled either into a highly elevated Aprarabdha state in future destinations or as Mahaprabhu has decreed to immediately enter the spiritual kingdoms.  Thus, the power of the Holy names makes the lowest classes of persons the top most Vaisnava, and beyond the Brahminical person, in trancendental terms .

Great cultures throughout history have always left their mark on society literally, by construction of huge buildings, all over the world you will find such structures which keep the memories of the cultures and their teachings alive .
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has done wonders all over the world in innumerable and incalculable ways , none more so than the under-construction Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP), designed to be one of the world’s largest Hindu temples. Sadaputa prabhu one of ISKCON’S greatest PhD scientists had said this temple is the greatest challenge to the speculative ramblings of those societies world wide who teach scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis as fact based sciences, the cheating sciences, in the sense of guessing presented to vulnerable school children and students as facts .
The great multidimensional Vedic universe is being presented and the sciences of Dualism, mind , matter, and consciousness. This temple is a direct challenge to the world veiw of the majority of the planet .When this science is accepted, the goals of life and economic priorities change, and the world and its societies and people’s can be rebalanced as respect for one and all will sweep throughout the world.
Is there anything that Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada could not achieve?.
http://www.thevedicspectator.com

The simplicity of the Vedic messaging is apparent within every text , somehow or another recognise and connect with the cause of all causes , the master of the material and spiritual energies .  Everything anyone does or thinks or intellectualises over is contained within His energies . We have borrowed plumes and borrowed energies granted and bestowed . There is not one of us who is unable to fully connect and fully understand the master of the multifarious and multidimensional energies  that surround us . By sacrifices of many kinds that are mentioned in the Vedas , various aspects of life’s gifts are realised . Everyone should connect to a  sacrifice in one way or another . However, one should be careful and understand the gifts of goodness that are awarded by sacrifices are meant to be used for further gains , and not self centred glory , if not used properly the results of sacrifices can easily degrade one’s consciousness plunging it back into ignorance and passion and away from the progressive goodness , which is its real purpose.

The path of the Vedas is meant to bring us to connectivity to all things and all beings that result  in an illuminated , humble, and respectful heart . In that consciousness, we are able to approach the supreme personality of Godhead Hrisikesa, the Master of the senses and the bestower of the results of sacrifices.  The culmination of all sacrifices brings one the greatest of fortune, which is the blissful association of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune and all the residents of the spiritual kingdoms whose lives are forever associated with Divinity in ever new and increasing blissful exchanges in a playground of spontaneously felt love towards each other .

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates in his Bhagavad Gita purport chap.4 text 36

That if one has been able to acquire knowledge of mind , body , and consciousness to a standard of at least Brahman consciousness , ie. The   knowledge of the consciousness as separate from the material body , known as dualism,  then bliss and peace are established within the heart , and there is no longer hankering and lamenting  or chasing down sense gratification . Knowledge is acquired by sacrifices,  and the fourth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita enlightens us in all processes of sacrifice. Another key feature to knowledge is that it destroys Aprarabdha karma , future sufferings that were due , because the karmic chain has been broken,  the senses are no longer functioning without control like an animals. Senses out of control is the cause of the responsive universe awarding further karmic synchronicities.

Although Aprarabdha karma is destroyed through knowledge, Prarabdha karma is not , so karmic synchronicities follow from previous conditioning in the current body , however Bhakti pure knowledge of devotion to Krishna and reestablished devotion destroys Aprarabdha and Prarabdha karma.

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has brought to this world the easier process of sacrifices,  of knowledge and of pure Bhakti.

Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami explains all and has spread this process all over the world and some of the most sinful persons have very quickly become knowledgeable of Bhakti and devotion to Krishna. By Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu mercy, a lame man can walk , a blind man can see, and a dumb man can compose eloquent poetry.

Knowledge of a higher plane , some trancendental insights,  some faith , and some mercy decending from a spiritual realms can carry one a long way .

Both Lord Sri Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu acted in similar ways , but Krishna predominantly in Union with the residents of Vraja and Sri Caitanya in separation from them . Krishna also exhibited separation from Vraja in His Dwarka lila pastimes , but again, in His Kurukshetra lila , He met them all again .

In trancendental tattva in the highest trancendental realms, the two opposites meet .The Tattva of Union and separation are elaborately explained by all our Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.

When Krishna was carrying out lila pastimes , he danced in the forests of Vrndavana, He gave  counselling to the Pandavas , the residents of Vraja  and the residents of Dwarka,  and famously He gave counsel to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu also carried out similar activities, giving counsel,  preaching and teaching Krishna consciousness within all kinds of society members from the greatest of the scholars of the day to the general public by His chanting and dancing that everyone could access . In the house of Srinivasa Acarya, deep meditative chanting behind closed doors where union and separation became one in esoteric Kirtan of the highest orders , spilt out into the towns and villages of Mayapur and in other parts of India , and the process of how to systematically advance in Krishna consciousness began to be taught to one and all . In Jagganath Puri towards the end of Mahaprabhu’s lila He exhibited the highest realms of the Vrndavana lilas by revealing  some of the glories of Srimati Radharani in Her moods of separation from Krishna , the Caitanya Caratamrita brings full details of the glories of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Devotees of the highest order appeared with Mahāprabhu, as they did with Krishna .  So , both in Krishna lila in Union with the residents of Vraja and in separation within Mahāprabhu lilas in Mayapur and Jagganath Puri  , the devotees  exhibited these moods of Union and separation .

The current devotees follow Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and become absorbed in their preaching activities,  but who are they preaching about ?

Thus, the most advanced preachers are living in two lilas, the lila of Mahāprabhu in Mayapur and Puri and the Lila of Krishna and the residents of Vraja . The Acaryas have written on the daily activities of Krishna in Vraja and the daily activities of Mahāprabhu and demonstrated this union and separation tattva .
