Jagabandhu das: I always like reading the comments on dandavats.com and especially liked their recently published blog about saying no to vaccines! I often wish I was in closer geographic proximity with the commentators\/contributors because I think we could really have really nice discussions\/really good conversations towards harmonizing many apparent ideological incongruities for the the true mutual benefit of all suffering jivas.<\/p>\n
As we know skepticism is considered to be a sign of true intelligence, especially if doesn’t cause the heart to become cold with cynicism. I’m not into conspiracy theories and never have been. When the Y2K scare arose I joked with friends and co-workers, “Why not 2K?” “Why 2K? Because it’s there.” However, I think we can’t simply ignore how the world we know is now in severe flux in a possibly very Orwellian manner and that our supposedly beneficent governements and civic leaders are perhaps less than trustworthy or truly benign.<\/p>\n
I agree that vaccines have saved lives also. Previously. And that they’ve even wiped out some serious diseases like small pox and polio. We have an autistic daughter yet we didn’t believe in the supposed ties of vaccines with causing autism. The tests didn’t substantiate this conclusion because when mercury was removed from the vaccines rates of autism per birth did not decrease (although it’s actually debatable whether or not autism really is on the rise or are there simply more rates of diagnoses because of ADDH and Asperger’s—we’ve seen supposed autistics who act more well-behaved and lucid than so-called “regular” children). And as we knew from our own experience our child was already really strange even before she had vaccines (as her father may have also been decades before her or his childhood vaccinations):-).<\/p>\n
Personally, I don’t automatically trust the medical profession wholesale, largely because of the mercenary\/profiteering aspect of primary motivation amongst a majority of “healthcare” professionals. How much can you really care if you’re being paid to care? Do you care more if you’re better rewarded for your services? After working at many hospitals doing remodel work (including teaching hospitals) and observing the overwhelming prioritzation of the commercial aspect\/money factor, with my usual sardonics I’ve often joked how doctors and hospitals scare me because they seem to kill people for money (it may be interesting to note that Srila Prabhupada himself was less than fond of hospitals). In spite of this, I can nonetheless still accept that there remain some good doctors (and lawyers) who really care about the people they’ve supposedly dedicated themselves to serve, rare as that may seem in our modern world of extreme exploitation.<\/p>\n
I was also interested to read of the Fifth Canto interpretational controversy on dandavats.com and wondered if the whole cosmological controversy might be harmonized by considering parallel realities\/alternative dimensions which we cannot directly perceive with our blunt sense perception alone bust must invest faith and trust in the descriptions of our nearly infinite superiors. Also, if someone has a hellish mentality that causes them to be cruel to others in a particular way, in a sense haven’t they already “gone to hell” because of their hellish consciousness? For me it’s enough that Sukadeva and Srila Prabhupada simply stated what is—even if my puppy brain is unable to fathom the specific particulars. At any rate, when I think of the Fifth Canto I mostly reflect about the Rsabdev-Jada Bharat story because of Rsabdev das being my good friend and mentor, my own great fondness for forest critters and my severely autistic\/mentally retarded daughter who now often acts like Jada Bharat did in being extremely uncooperative throughout every endless day’s long journey into night. When I wrote “Critters” I was hoping someone would mention the Rsabdev\/Jada Bharat angle and I thank Suresh das for that. <\/p>\n
Obeisances to Dandavats, their much esteemed international audience…and all the best to everyone… <\/p>\n
P.S.- Re: Saying no vaccines! A couple of weeks ago I found the following very important article about the “swine” flu vaccination possibilities on some Canadian friends’ website for alternative news, views and heirloom vegetable seeds that aren’t genetically modified. Somehow the article linked below was completely missed by both mainstream and most “alternative” news sources). I thank the publisher and his good wife at www.lacunatrust.com for helping to make us all more aware of what possible danger we might all now face. <\/p>\n
It’s a little ironic to me because several years ago at the beginning of the annual “flu season” —-with my usual somewhat sardonic gallows humor I had sarcastically suggested to family, friends and co-workers that the flu was probably started by the pharmaceutical companies in order that more would feel compelled to purchase the vaccine. Based on the article below it certainly does appear that this is quite possibly what might have happened along with draconian messures of vaccine enforcement by governments under pandemically mandated guidelines (just for fun scan the gist of the daily headlines at the drudgereport, worldnetdaily or the milleniumark.com).<\/p>\n
It certainly brings to bear the veracity of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta’s observation that this world is no place for a gentleman. Although at the same time I’ve begun to worry a lot less about all of this (and other troubling things happening in the world) because I can barely manage my own family life already.<\/p>\n
Life is eternal and all each of us can do is become is keep on trying\/keep on growing from within to become better and deeper in all situations. I find detachment helps a lot. And surrender. So the whole world ends. So what. No big deal. The whole universe and all the cosmos has been destroyed in entirety and again reborn\/recreated many times within Maha-Vishnu’s dream. Whatever will be, will be and all I can do is just be a soul (or sometimes an asoul:-)). Same as it ever was.<\/p>\n
But our family won’t be taking flu vaccines—that’s for sure!<\/p>\n
