Geopolitics, Globalization and Worldpower
– A Vaisnava Perspective –
– Part One –
Kṛṣṇacandra Dāsa – Vṛndāvan: Geopolitics is a term used to describe the causal processes involved in the interrelationships between the control of territory (land and sea), politics, economies, finances, law, etc of the world’s various nations. In the modern context however, geopolitics has come to be synonymous with Globalization.
However, there exists a dichotomy involved in the modern day geopolitical sphere where many nationalistic members of various nations see that their individual national identity or sovereignty is being ‘homogenized’ into a global system of unification, which ultimately aims to establish a centralized one world government and believe that should this state be achieved, they will stand to lose not only their national cultural heritage, but also their ethnic heritages and national identities.
On the other hand we see the globalists, who believe that the world would be better served if there was one government of single purpose to lead the world, one military to maintain the peace, one economic stratagem to streamline trade and commerce, one law to maintain law and order, one educational system to teach the peoples of the world and ultimately one religion which sees a higher power or god that supports the people to live in peace and harmony.
THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD SO FAR… THE DEMISE OF ROYALTY
In the Kali yuga, the lord of this earthly world is the demon Kali. This Kali yuga, which lasts 432,000 years, commenced with the departure of Lord Kṛṣṇa some 5,000 years ago. The demon Kali is the main influential entity that rules supreme over the earthly realm for the duration of this yuga and appeared in the time of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s grandson, Mahārāja Parīkṣit’s reign on earth. After obtaining boons from Mahārāja Parīkṣit that enabled him to gain controlling influence in this yuga, he set about seizing power and control.
Kali knows full well that the only way that he can gain power and influence is to remove the loyalty of the people from the Kingly or Royal class of men and their faith in a personal God and place it on his plan. He is also well aware of the fact that in order for this to happen there needed to be radical changes made to the psychology of the people in general by disconnecting people from their cultural and ethnic heritage. This ultimately means that human society needs to be disconnected from religion.
Religion played a large role in the operation of a kingdom/nation, but it was also a very important aspect of a person’s cultural and social psyche and until the middle of last century played a vital role in the common man’s life.
Kings or Kṣatriyas in the past were protectors of Dharma and the Brahman class or the intelligent class’s role was to advise and support the Kingly class of man to rule and administer the various kingdoms under God’s law as given in the Vedic scriptures and their corollaries.
Kali knew that to remove or to debilitate the Kingly and Brahman class was vital to his agenda to rule mankind. The Brahmins, as the intelligentsia, advised on spiritual and material matters while the Kṣatriyas, by strength of arms and administrative prowess, governed the land.
Without the head (Brahmans) and arms (Kṣatriyas/Kings), human society was effectively leaderless, which afforded Kali the ability to implement his tried and tested strategies which aimed at bringing about chaos and schisms within human societies.
Kali is the great-great grandson of Lord Brahmā and the great-grandson of Adharma (Impropriety) and his wife, “Mithyā” (Falsehood). Adharma was originally created from Lord Brahmā’s back as a “Maleen Patākā” (a very dark and deadly sinful object). He is the grandson of “Dambha” (Vanity) and his sister-turned-wife, Māyā (Illusion). Kali is the son of Krodha” (Anger) his sister-turned-wife is “Hiṁsā” (Violence).
Kali has ruled in countless Kali yugas, his knowledge is vast and as he operates under a time scale far different than mankind’s he can easily see what has worked in the past and what is needed in the present.
Kali, being invisible, can enter into the ‘hearts’ of man and influence them to align them with his agenda. Similar to when he is said to have entered into the gold crown of Mahārāja Parīkṣit and influenced him to throw the serpent around the neck of the Brāhmaṇa. He is also said to have entered into Lord Śiva and caused him to write evil Scriptures. What to speak of lesser mortals. Another classic example of how Kali functions is that he assumed the body of Duryodhana, the first son of Dhritarasta.
Kali began his rule by arranging for the elimination of Mahārāja Parīkṣit, thus depriving the world of a ruler who upheld high Dharmic principles of varṇa and ashram and so these principles began to corrupt into what can be now termed a ‘classless society’.
However, the various varṇa’s and ashrams are ‘archetypal’ in essence and so the various classes of people as outlined in the Vedic knowledge are deeply ingrained in the psyche of mankind and can never be removed, they can only be temporarily covered by another system.
Kali also is aware that his true identity, purpose and plans must be hidden behind a screen of secrecy and so knowledge of his personal form, past and activities are relatively unknown to the general public. The only culture who is aware of this agenda is the Vedic Culture as detailed in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
“Therefore, O chief amongst the protectors of religion, please fix some place for me where I can live permanently under the protection of your government. Sūta Gosvāmī said: Mahārāja Parīkṣit, thus being petitioned by the personality of Kali, gave him permission to reside in places where gambling, drinking, prostitution and animal slaughter were performed. The personality of Kali asked for something more, and because of his begging, the King gave him permission to live where there is gold because wherever there is gold there is also falsity, intoxication, lust, envy and enmity.”(SB.1.17.37 – 39)
As evidenced by the above description it can be inferred the demon Kali will receive the protection of the Government while being the controlling and corrupting force behind gambling, intoxication, prostitution, meat eating and gold. As Vaiṣṇava’s who are in knowledge of the personality of Kali we can clearly see his activities and plan as it unfolds throughout the centuries.
In order for Kali to assume control of the world, changes to the Kingly system began by removing the Brahminical advisory role from the Kings decision making and eventually replacing it with the Merchant or Financier class with gold being the standard of financial transactions. Kali is well aware that the Brahman or Priestly class of man was more connected to the nation’s cultural and ethnic background, while the Merchant was only connected to greed and therefore it was essential to sever the link between the Brahminical classes, successfully disconnecting the people from their ties with their cultural traditions. The introduction of Secularism has greatly decreased the relevance of the Brahminical/Priestly class and increased the influence and control of the quasi materialistic sciences within human society.
In more modern times, democracy and communism are political theories that have further systematically destroyed and dismantled the remnants of Royalty and upper classes. Although Royalty in its pure form is not present in the administration of nations, the class structure is still in existence with the difference being that in the past one was born into the various class structures according to karmic results, whereas now anyone with ambition can gain access to any class they desire.
As the Kali yuga progressed, the merchant class became more influential in the administration of countries and subsequently controlled conquest. The minister or Brahman advising the King evolved into the merchant controlling the King, to its modern day equivalent where the merchant/moneylender class evolved into the multinational financial institutions that more or less control the world’s economies and geopolitical sphere, thus rendering the Kingly or Brahman class superfluous and counterproductive.
For the sake of relevance to modern history, the following part of this paper is mainly focusing on the historic development of western society and its influence on Geopolitics from Roman times up to the present.

It doesn’t matter what kind of politic is that but it’s the last shelter of the rogues used to say SRILA PRABHUPADA. Politcians are the worst hypocrits, they learn how to make friendship and how to make enemies as well, it’s said that dhuryodhana was a incarnation of kali devi, therefore our serious battle is more with kali then with maya sukaya in this shortest cut through the four ages. Kali means also black empty etc… as we can see the citizens of this kali yuga are already completely rotten i mean at old age they still go in the pub and in the booking to play gambling, they forgot to save themselves and this is just the beginning there are 427 thousand years of kali yuga still to come, it’s the shortest age but the consciousness is so low that it look like the longest age.
Some animals live better then human being in this age because we can’t understand who is human and who is animal unfortunately through the degradation of the advanced influences of this kali yuga. SRILA PRABHUPADA also used to say is better to chant Hare Krsna and get out before things get worse then nowadays, all the rajarsi saintly kings got killed in the beginning of this kali yuga says the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM because of the evil influences of this age, there is not room anymore for dharma in this age, it will last for another 9.500 years then all the religiousity, dharma tapa, satya,dama, sama,etc.. will disappear completely. The girls will be mother at five years old age and they do the children to eat them because there is not food not rain not sacrifices, all the planet earth is just rocks and everyone is starving, the duration of life gets reduced to 30 years not more then that because of papam increasement of sinful activities the few Hare Krsna devotees remaining hide themselves in the mountain because the demons look in for them to eat their soft vegetarian meat i mean the cannibalism is spread almost everywhere.
This is the beginning of the barberian civilization after the golden age time of SRI HARINAM SANKIRTANA will be over. Kalki will cut off the head to all of them at the end of this kali yuga by announcing another satya yuga age which is the opposite age of kali yuga, we hope to be there in the next satya yuga if we fail to to go back home in this kali yuga because satya yuga it’s the best age the duration of life is ten thousand years like the demigods and everyone is very religious even more then that because the demigods visit the human being of satya yuga very often.
It’s said that in kali yuga the demigods don’t pass through the planet earth even to go in toiled because this age is situated in the opposite side of dharma but SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU is so magnanimous that created so many oasis through the prithivite ache by spreading the holi name everywhere until it will be over when this shortest cut will finish with the beginning of the barberian civilization.

abhaya carana seva das Prabhu ; NO need to wait and appear in the Satya Yuga as you said.
Why NOT, prepare one hundred percent right now while you and I are in this present BODY to go home back to Godhead ?
Let us say we are not ready perhaps but in our next life we can take a birth possibly in the family of a Vaishnava to continue our respective KC where we left.
I know it is easier said than done. But at least we can give hundred percent while we are in this body having the knowledge of KC by the grace of our Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada.
That is what some time I think it to myself but due to my sinful life for sense gratification it does not look that easy but we have to TRY sincerely and seriously, nevertheless.
That is the only way to go. No other way, no other way, no other way but to chant the Holy name with whole heartedly to make our respective lives sublime. That is what I am striving for but it is not easy to get out of this material web created by us life after life. But we have to continue try, try and try again to get out this material web.

We already been trying since many kalpas, how you say it don’t come so easy hard work first then samadhi, we are already lucky to appear in this first kali yuga of the divine appearance of the most magnanimous avatara SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU that’s even more auspicious then to take birth in satya yuga. We can take birth in a vaisnava family only by the deserving of our actual guna and karma, it’s a scientific process is not a mechanic system based on the own will but on the own spiritual qualities coming from constant manasa seva through the vani seva of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA.
Of course we try our best to get out from the samsara cakro not just from the material web in this same lifetime by reaching the platform of saranagati through loulyam kalatvam by practicing ahituki apratihata but as we knowsthere is just one thing that is sure hundred per cent sure and that’s the so called death the change of our vasamsi jirnani old dress until one gets the complete vijnana practical knowledge that all the forms of life comes from SRI KRSNA and will go back to SRI KRSNA again. The only problem is how to go back to SRI KRSNA by finding out that blissful spiritual body which is beyond birth and death.
It’s easy to know the way but it’s more diffcult to get the right speed through the way because everyone is running without listen the UPADRASTANUMANTA CA BHARTA BHOKTA MAHESVARAH bg,13.23, all the guru hoaxers are the evidence about this running which is not according to the will of SRI KRSNA. Actually nobody died in reality says Krsna to ARJUNA you don’t need to cry for no one because it’s just a change of dress the so called death that the karmis can’t understand by taking it like the time of the pralaya devastation because they thing everything is here and everything will finish here which is pure ignorance but the soul don’t care about all the transformations have to pass through under the three gunas of material nature because within the deep of his heart the soul is conscious that have nothing to do with the business of all these temporary dresses and rotten body machines.
Many distressed souls commit suicide because they know it’s just another journey with another yantrarudhani mayaya unwanting body machine even if they haven’t realized it but the supersoul allowed and give permission to us in understanding the way out. The third canto of the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM says that without the permission of the supersoul nobody can wake up to the reality, therefore more you are trying to become serious to go back home in this life and more one get trapped sometime because there must be there a called a order to close the samsara by the permission of the supersoul, that’s why is better to appear in satya yuga if we have not received that special called for that time yet.

abhaya carana seva das writes ; ” ….. that’s why is better to appear in satya yuga if we have not received that special called for that time yet. ”
As it seems that a Karmi who is cultivating Karma Yoga, perhaps, desires to appear in Satya Yuga because he has not been called for that special time yet on account of lacking Sukrati i.e. accumulated Spiritual merits.
However for a person who has come in contact with KC on account of a little Sukrati may desire to accumulate more Spiritual merits by following the Divine Instructions given for this age of Kali and try to get out of this Samsara while one has this opportunity in this very life time.
That is for that wise person special call ….. Jiva jago, Jiva Jago as we learn it from that beautiful song.

You don’t understand that until we get that special called you are destined to finish your life in is not this, wake up and stop dreaming be practical see what we are at the moment and what we require to come to the platform of yesam anta gatam papam. So many lives already gone and you have not enough sukrti yet be practical. SRILA PRABHUPADA also said i been trying my best to live in a comfortable situation in this world but i been called by the special mercy of my guru maharaj, you need to take birth again without that special called because you haven’t got enough sukrti yet to understand that you will finish you life in is not this without that called, bahunam janmanam ante but you are still sleeping on that merciful called which will take us off from all the shit coming from people who didn’t understand yet that we need to be called to not finish our life in is not this.
We are more karmi than devotees at the moment, we are not real devotees we are trying to be devotees but you need to understand that you need that special called to become a genuine devotee, otherwise there are more prajalpas anarthas coming from mental speculation that’s all, jiv jago jiv jago to that special called how long you want to sleep with the witch without be called? Don’t be happy just by writing down some comment be practical, used to say very often SRILA PRABHUPADA

abhaya carana seva das ; you are blowing your own horn as it seems from your writing. Isn’t it ?
Does your comments answer any near to my question ; ” Why do you want to take birth in the Satya Yoga ” ? as you are presently commenting ?
When you use Srila Prabhupada used to say very often, please make sure that you do quote actual wording of Srila Prabhupada as a reference to it.
Hope it finds you well.

We are already in satya yuga with LORD CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU divine appearance so we don’t need to take birth again.

abhaya carana seva das writes ; ” ….. that’s why is better to appear in satya yuga if we have not received that special called for that time yet. ”
I ask an enquiry as to ” why is better to appear in satya yuga ….. ”
He answers with this reply ; ” We are already in satya yuga with LORD CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU divine appearance so we don’t need to take birth again. ”
From the above, it appears that acsd changes his point of view very quickly without any explanation.
The reason why I am bringing it out is that we visit this public forum site to learn and understand better about the topics in discussion and share our respective knowledge of understanding it with like minded people.
If some one ask question, the answer must be given with respect regardless we agree to it or not.
So let us continue a healthy discussion which means one can give constructive criticism providing the solution to which one intends to criticize it as it may seem. That is how we reach to a certain conclusion and learn from that discussion.
By the way, as abhaya carana seva das finally says: ” We are already in satya yuga with LORD CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU divine appearance so we don’t need to take birth again.”
Yes, no need to take birth in Satya Yuga for a practitioner of KC., where life span of a Human being lasts 100,000 years practising meditation. Whereas in this Yuga of the Golden age, one can practise chanting the Holy name of the Lord as recommended by our Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada in order to make our respective lives sublime in such a short life span of a 100 years or less. This is the greatest benediction of the Lord upon the conditioned Jives.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada Ki Jaya.

Yes i agree with you on this point we are just discussing different points of our Krsna consciousness. SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU IS the most magnanimous avatara because gives the sambandha jnana at whoever chant Hare Krsna maha mantra regulary that’s the special called the eternal relationship with SRI KRSNA this is the only thing that SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU want from us and can be achieved in just one lifetime only for serious sadhakas bhaktas who practicing nama gane sada ruci.
We are the most lucky jivas souls to be connected with this first kali yuga of the divine appearance of SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU was not for HIM the planet earth was already all rocks nowadays without any yajna and rain. SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU created a small satya yuga of ten thousand years within this polluted and darkest age and only fools let this golden opportunity to go with empty hands better to follow kirtaniya sada hari and get out without listen the barking dogs of the false ego but just mind the own business of the sambandha jnana until that special called become brahma nistham in this same life by the causeless mercy of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA
