 What if a person experiences the
world through the right brain?
• He will perceive images.

• How will he express this to others? He will

use words, which may not be able to fully
express what he saw. He will communicate
his vision with whatever words and images
can be understood by persons using the left
brain.
 Vision through Scripture
• Scriptures sometimes present the right brain
vision of reality.
• This will be hard to grasp by a person
conditioned to left brain thinking and may
seem imaginary or illogical.
• A person who uses both sides of his brain
could accept both versions of reality.
 Example: the universe
• Fifth canto of Bhagavatam gives a version of
the universe quite contrary to left brain
scientific observation.
• It speaks of lotus shapes, a huge Meru in the
center, and concentric islands spreading
horizontally across space.
• It speaks of upper and lower planetary
systems which are invisible to our eyes.

– Structure of universe
– Analysis of elements: 5 gross elements, mind,
subtle senses, 3 gunas, ahankara, mahat tattva,
prakrti

• Perception of Spiritual realm:

– Forms of atma and God
– Spiritual world
 Consolidation
• Problem:
Communicating right brain material so that it
is comprehensible to left brain majority of
people
Solution:
Raising consciousness of majority of people to
right brain awareness: implementing spiritual
sadhana.

Superior Science of

 A complete conception of God

• Unique Perspective to Solve all Religious

Quarrels
 A complete conception of God

• Brahman: God is beyond material words and

form

• Paramatma: God is the creator and witness of

all actions

• Bhagavan: God is endowed with the most

attractive spiritiual form, qualities and action
God
All realizations of God

Brahman Paramatma

Bhagavan
Bhagavan is One, but Unlimited in
Forms
If God has a form is God an Old Man?
Bhagavan is a beautiful youth
 What does God do besides create the
universe?
• God has unlimited attractive activities.
Is God to be feared? Is he merely a
punisher?
Bhagavan is the object of varieties of
love
Then why do we suffer?
Suffering is self-created
by the Law of Karma
Are we condemned forever after
death?
We have many chances in many births

Is there one way or many ways to
perfection?
Vedas offer a variety of paths for
various types of people
Karma Yoga
Jnana Yoga
Astanga Yoga
Bhakti Yoga
 The highest practice is love:
Bhakti yoga
• yoginam api sarvesam
• mad-gatenantaratmana
• çraddhavan bhajate yo mam
• sa me yuktatamo matah
• Of all yogis, the one with great faith who
always abides in Me, thinks of Me within
himself, and renders loving service to Me is
the most intimately united with Me in yoga
and is the highest of all. That is My opinion.
 Bhakti yoga brings Success to All
Endeavours
• yatra yogesvarah krsno
• yatra partho dhanur-dharah
• tatra srir vijayo bhutir
• dhruva nitir matir mama
• Bg. 18.78
Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all
mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the
supreme archer, there will also certainly be
opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and
morality. That is my opinion.
