THE VEDIC PHILOSOPHY

"Religion with philosophy is absolute knowledge and the absolute knowledge is Krishna.”

“A man who tastes the bamboo sticks in illusion of the sugarcane can never predict the taste of sugarcane until. He tastes it. If he does so it is a speculation"

And so is the philosophy one can’t say who is god without knowing the philosophy and the philosophy results in the fact that the supreme lord KRISHNA is god and we are the part and parcel of him. To study the Vedic philosophy is to study supreme Krishna. Without that everyone is speculating things.

Because of some joy and sorrow, sometimes we feel that there is fortune on our side and sometimes it no where exist. When we remember all those moments we feel happy but soon become sad as the consciousness return back. The conclusion is that, time will never come back, (time is also the energy of Krishna) almost everyone know this and far per my thinking everyone does the same. We try to remember the days of childhood when we are grown up as adult, and would remember the adulthood days when we would grow old after few years from now and we in this way misinterpret the art of living and growing old. We consider our self as individual body thus live in ego and illusion like coconut is covered by strong conch and inside that coconut is the oil, the covering outer the oil is so dense and stiff that even the sunlight can’t enter in it. Our soul is just like that oil covered by great illusion of material pleasure, sometimes even great knowledge of the Vedas doest affect us. So the point is we have forgotten that we are the part and parcel of the super soul, Krishna (Vishnu). Once we would be aware of this fact that we are the dual energy of the lord i.e. soul and body (soul- spiritual energy, body-material energy) and thus we should act for the service of the lord and whatever we do it should be done for the satisfaction of the god and be done with full faith and devotion. Then we would over come the effect of our work and be free from all those moments we remember to become sometimes happy and sometimes sad, for so we will come in the state of permanent happiness i.e. the mode of goodness.

         The Vedic philosophy explains that our senses are controlled by our mind and our mind is controlled by our intelligence. And intelligence is what we have learned till now from our relative, friends, society, parents, school, teachers, etc. thus it is the biological fact that our body is regulated by our mind but when we study the Vedic facts we knows that mind function per our intelligence, thus when we speak it is our intelligence that whatever we have learned i.e. the way how to speak, where and whom one should respect etc which then regulate the mind, mind the regulate the senses. Thus our tongue acts. And the most important part of the art of living happily is- the intelligence is regulated by our soul (which is the higher consciousness) and it is the property of the soul that it will remains in contact of god only then she would be happy and remain the same but because that the soul has come in this material world, so that contact is broken. Now if we want to be happy again permanently then we have to make that contact again. It is said by the lord Sri Krsna Caitanaya(the incarnation of lord Krishna born in west Bengal some 480 years ago) that the way to make that contact again is the chanting of maha mantra (which is also prescribed in Vishnu purana) -

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

When we do that, the contact is re-established and the love for Krishna which is in dormant stage in our heart starts to sprout as devotional service for god. Thus at that level our intelligence is regulated by soul and our mind and thus the senses are controlled by the soul, now because the soul is happy our mind would be and our senses would then be acts for the satisfaction of the god. And then by the grace of the supreme lord we come in the mode of goodness. Now whatever we does our upper portion (soul) would be in contact of him and so we will remain be in the state of happiness and bliss and above all under the direct protection of the supreme power, power of god.

While doing this we have to follow four regulative principles

1 . No eating of meat, fish, or eggs.

2 . No intoxication.

3 . No gambling.

4 . No illicit sex life.

Control your senses and be a leader not a slave. Your senses are supposed to be your servant, don't be a servant of them.

I believe that, happiness is directly related to Krishna consciousness, 100% Krishna consciousness 100% happiness.

HARE KRISHNA

GOD BLESS US ALL!
