AgtSP!!! Paoho..... 🙏 Talking with Radha-krsna Das, Sriman Gopinatha Das . . . we have the same perspective. In more detail, personally we think that this Karuna-virus is God's end to the Industrial Revolution.
"O.K. the Vedas have been dispersed all over the world again, and you people are about to destroy your selves and the planet we live in, so I (God) am pulling the plug on celestial powers, flying around in the sky and whizzing across the Earth like demigods."
When we (NIOS) organized the "Symposium on the Contribution of Ancient India Toward Making a Better World" with Justices of the Supreme Courts of India, Governors of West Bengal et al, et al, under the Direction of our NIOS's Principal Advisor, Dr. Prof. Samaresh Bandyopadhyay, the result kept coming back in again and again, the same way. God has designed the world to work where almost everyone lives in a Vedic village.
Of course, you have contact with your local town and then with your Big City, and the whole world is actually running under one government, but your life, medicine, education, culture, art, clothes, architecture, music, drama, government is all local.
We see this in South America, Chile, Peru and when we were in Russia with Visistha Das, Jitakrodha Das and the devotees. We finished a surrealistic preaching tour of the Golden Ring cities around Moscow and then we stayed in a village outside of Nizni-nagar or some such city in a log house owned by devotees.
It was a normal Russian village but for us it was like going back in time.
There were maybe 25-houses in the village. One was the old house of the Rich-man, another was a new but simple house of the Poor-man. There was a 300-year old church falling down and being pushed back up. Grave stones.
There are two winters in Russia. The White Winter and the Green Winter. We were there at the beginning of the Green Winter, May, and Nature knew that she had like four months or so to do everything, sprout, blossom, impregnate and fructify. It was like Nature, the dense forest, just exploded out at us.
Then we would go for a walk on the narrow little dirt road from North to South,coming out of the forest at both ends of the village, and Grannys, Babushkas, with their scarves tied over their heads, sitting outside of the house, shucking peas, surrounded by a few goats, toddler and chickens, would wave to use and smile and say, "Dosh vidonya", and we would smile and wave back and say "Hare Krsna" and I suspect all the news about us had reached the other end of the village before we had even walked there.
THE THREE FASTEST FORMS OF COMMUNICATION:
- Telephone.
- Telegraph
- Tell a Woman
We would look at the Tombstones, the Rich and Poor man's houses, and the green fields cleared from the forest and say, "Dostoyesvski was not a great writer! Even an idiot with half a brain could write great storys in this atmosphere." We could just see the Archetypes: The Poor-man's son falls in love with the Rich-man's daughter... There was life everywhere, physical, biological, cultural.
Ahhhh! Take a deep breath and live!
The young Ayurvedic doctor in the village goes to his grand-father and say, "Poppa, I cannot cure Mr. So-in-so. He has these symptoms," and Poppa says, "Oh, yes that family has had that agitation of 'pitta' for as long as we know. You know that herb -blah, blah, blah- that grows down by the old mill stream? That will works for them".
Local pharmacology, generations living together. Bicycle distance through the forest to the next village if you don't have Ayurvedic doctor in your village and then...
... A narrow, paved road, going East from the village that makes 12-minute walk to the road where buses are passing every twenty minutes to take you to the city to have tea with your nephew and Aunt and maybe Uncle, and buy needle and thread etc.
Krsna has designed the world for us to live in the village. Go to the city for big politics. See the Count (of the County) in his Seat and come home.
Not primitive. Access to the sophisticated electronic technology if you need it, but who needs it!?! Local puppet shows will knock your socks off. Two or three dozen television sets for the whole world? Develop 'mystic' powers? Simple living and high thinking.
The only thing that can stop a pandemic is isolation, no? Bubonic plague, Spanish flu, controlled by isolation. Need Achintay-bheda-abheda-tattva. Each family, village, independent but integrated.
"Hey, County, we got some plague infection. We're keeping it in our village. Let people know. Send some help!"
"O.K. Little Village. Help is on the way. Same thing happening in the Other Little Village. We got it controlled".
This is a summary of what we think will happen.
We've tried the modern science look, understand everything as a centralized machine, and it won't work for everything. God's sending viruses to bring us back to reality. So, so, so much about how to live a natural life in Srila Prabhupada's books.
Sankirtan.
Everyone build your community based upon Sankirtan. Start to develop orchards, they don't require such intense surrender as cows right away, and they give good results right away for kids to adults.
Adjust this life in this Reform School so it can do its job. Reform your sub-conscious.
Not everyone will join. It is voluntary. Some countries will be Govinda's and some will Maya's.
Yes, there will be air travel, but you will have to put on a HazMat suit before boarding and be sprayed with disinfectant after your arrive, but why go anyway? Your grand-kids can travel on flying carpets and can communicate by radio waves through the piezoeletric crystals that are growing in their pineal glands.
