Fall from Vaikuntha
I am posting this thesis by Realist [under 'Spirtual Discussions' Thread ~ "fall-theory = mayavada" post #16] because it is so well stated:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
Our original position is eternal, we are all eternally nitya-siddha which IS our original and eternal position, presently covered while we dream away in the material creation.
The Brahmajyoti or Krsna’s effulgence, IS the entire creation, divided up into three zones of conscious thought, from devotional activity in the Vaikunthas, to conditioned activity in the mahat-tattva, to inactivity in the dormant dreamless state - All are aspects of the Brahmajyoti
These different aspects of the Brahmajyoti can be achieved or experienced by free will and choice however, ONLY Krsna's abode and the Vaikunthas, that make up 75% of the Brahmajyoti, Spiritual Sky or creation, are without end and situated in the personal active 'eternal present' of Krsna's perpetual pastimes.
The other 25% of the Brahmajyoti is made up of those who have chosen to forgotten their nitya -siddha body in the 'eternal present' and have entered that part of creation known as the perishable mahat-tattva and later on may enter the temporary impersonal Brahman, both in a 'dream consciousness' known as the baddha-jiva.
This devotional active original fullness of the Brahmajyoti is eternal personal, which means it is made up of ALL living entities that are perpetually represented there in their perpetual nitya-siddha body serving Krsna
For a living entity, who has transmigrated through the lower species to the human biological body, simply means that the living entity had FIRST chosen to ‘consciously (like in a dream), fall down from Krsnaloka, long, long, long ago, from also the eternal body that is their real perpetual ‘self’ (nitya-siddha) whose only activity there is serving Krsna or God.
This was achieved by free will and choice; the marginal living entity therefore is able to leave Goloka ‘consciously’ as their secondary lower baddha-jiva consciousness and travel to the heavenly planets within the mahat-tattva creation of Maha-Vishnu.
The baddha-jiva may then travel further to the middle planets, then the hellish planets, and the then to lower species of biological life.
Some baddha-jivas may also take shelter in the dormant aspect of their own baddha-jiva consciousness that is collectively, along with other baddha-jivas who have also chosen the dreamless dream state, known as the impersonal aspect of the Brahman effulgence
The impersonal characteristic of the Brahmajyoti or Brahman IS the nitya-baddha souls in a collective of souls that IS the impersonal aspect of the Brahmajyoti.
The brahmajyoti is full of jiva-souls; the word sarva-gatah means life IS the Brahmajyoti and is everywhere. So, what is the Brahmajyoti?
The Brahmajyoti or Krsna’s effulgence, IS the entire creation, divided up into three zones of conscious thought, from devotional activity in the Vaikunthas, to conditioned activity in the mahat-tattva, to inactivity in the dormant dreamless state - All are aspects of the Brahmajyoti
1.The Vaikunthas and Krsnaloka those are always active in service to Krsna or Vishnu
2. The mahat-tattva or material creation of Maha-Vishnu that is where the marginal living entity can CHOOSE to go to lead their own way of life without Krsna
3. When those who have entered the mahat-tattva become fed up with the temporary frustrating nature of the material world and the vessels or bodies they move around in, they often seek an inactive dormant state of consciousness.
They only seek out such an end to their existence because they still have no memory or recollection of their eternal body in Krsnaloka.
Therefore, due to this ignorant state the baddha-jiva is in, they choose to learn through the yogic process, to ‘close their consciousness down’ and stop the generation of thought. (which can be achieved, but is also a temporary dormant 'state of the baddha-jiva's consciousness".
This dormant conscious state of the baddha-jiva is known as the impersonal Brahmajyoti, which means it is the ‘inactive ‘state of consciousness of the souls that make up and IS the Personal Brahmajyoti – hence its reflection is the impersonal aspect of that same Brahmajyoti.

You always post other people's writings. It looks like you can't think for yourself. Anything you've written yourself didn't make sense.

Your exposing your public angel hairs!
You nasty.
Blooming Naga babas Now?!
I could have guessed. Any excuse to exposed your proclivities.
Long live Fredy Mercury and his acolyites.

But really Bhaktajan prabhuji, I don't understand much of what you say. I think it is because I am too fallen. Your words are so high for me, that to me it seems like a bunch of funny jokes. I am too fallen to understand the rahasya of your madhura vani, your sweet words of the highest spiritual truths.
I think perhaps with me you need to take some time and explain things to me, because I am very dumb in spiritual life.

I know everything about the fall of the jiva issue. Just because I know about the fall of the jiva issue doesn't mean I automatically become a great devotee.
I think this simple part of jiva tattva has become more like a big political thing. Just a point of view of a neophyte 14 year old.

Indulekha Ji, I think you understand a lot more than you think. Bhaktajan just doesn't make much sense.

.................................................. ..........................................
Deciphering my sarcasism:
Your exposing your public angel hairs!
[RadhaMukunda has changed his avatara to which I was referring to here--His avatara was a Sitting Naga-Baba (aka, naked Sadhu) with scantly visable Pubic area. 'Angel Hair' is a type of very thin Spagetti.]
You nasty.
[In my experience: Young Black Children would say "You nasty" to someone saying or doing an inappropriate/illicit act.]
Blooming Naga babas Now?!
["Blooming"--British-ism, expressing 'astonishment'; also, form of word Blossom as in Flower Blossom. From Shivite-ism to Naga-Babas (aka, naked Sadhus)]
I could have guessed. Any excuse to expose your proclivities.
[Since RadhaMukunda is a shameless 'up-start' (aka, trouble-maker) I could guess that he would post arresting visuals . . . that expose his private propensities (aka, proclivities)]
Long live Fredy Mercury and his acolyites.
["Queen" was a most influential British Rock 'n Roll Music Band of the 1970/80's; their lead singer was Fredy Mercury, whose style was very Homo-erotic. Acolyites means dedicated followers -- IOW, a charasmatic pop idol and his followers. Fredy Mercury died of Aids.]
Of course my statements were rude and low and especially "OFF THREAD" --not that there's any thing wrong with that!
Bhaktajan
PS: "not that there's any thing wrong with that" --this is a line from the American TV Comedy called 'Seinfeld'--where the two male lead characters where thought to be Gay partners
by a Columbia University Student Journalist trying to interview them.
To which the male lead characters exclaimed,
"We are not Gay, not that there's any thing wrong with that!"

3) [On 'Advaita' Section RadhaMukunda started a new Thread] where RadhaMukunda says: "Bhaktajan & PrinceGotham! I challenge you both to debate your position" --(Shiva is God vs. Vishnu/Krishna is God).
.................................................. .................................................. .......................
So RadhaMukunda has spoken out of one side of his face only to
then find it worthy to extend to ME an invitation to debate --so if I am
so un-able to make my sober opinions plain to readers,
then where is the dignity in RadhaMukunda's request?
RadhaMukunda desires to hear a fool speak?
RadhaMukunda always fosters fools to speak? --While berating
the invited person on his way to the podium,
that RadhaMukunda is hosting?
.................................................. ...............
ATTENTION EVERYONE --I started this thread with these words:
"I am posting this thesis by Realist because it is so well stated"
[as found under 'Spirtual Discussions' Thread post #16]
This is how I show respect to my senior mentors. I can do this because I can see who is in what position,

I liked your name BHAKTAJAN. But I request you to kindly change it to Prabhupada Bhaktajan or Chaitanya Bhaktajan. You hate Lord Shiva, you hate the "Maayavaadi"s. You hate Adi Shankara, You hate Advaita philosophy, Your time starts only from the period when prabupada made his existance. You live in a limited boundry and try to say that all the world exists within those walls and not outside it. So broad is your perspective. Try and break the barriers that you have built for yourself in the form of your organisation that you are loyal to. Truth is something beyond a Chaitanya, prabupada and even for that matter Sri Adi Shankara. Realise yourself from the present and not waste time in glorifying the past. It is not going to happen again. So, what is going to happen is what you do. Be your own mentor NOW!!!

The child has stepped to a path and thinks that being Missionary is a Seva done to his seniors. He doesnt believe in uplifting himself to their or beyond their level. He believes that they should lend a helping hand to lift him which is next to impossible. The person who has lost belief from himself can only depend on the bookish quotes made in the past or he will experience and tell the world what he really is.

Hey RadhaMukunda & Srikanthdk71 . . .
Surrender!
Surrender Now!
You must surrender to a senior Vaishnava or
you will surrender to a lesser authority.
"Following your bliss" is a concept that requires the
"Absolute Truth" otherwise you will follow "Subjective Truth".
Such Subjective Truth(s) are only as good as the species of bodies you possess for some short (or long) life span.
Your priorities are evidently start and end with your pleasuring your senses--that is all you are preaching.
Having said that, I presume that you are unaware of higher pursuits other than sense-gratification, ie:, fame, adoration & distinction and especially first and definitely not least of all, Sex pleasures.
You don't know these things, Right?
Your suggestions are all about pursuing your dreams in a world of wars, famine, death, exploitation, querrel, hypocracy, lust and the repetition of birth after birth via blind faith in your petty sized insignificance.
May your pettiness end,
Bhaktajan
