Russia News: What about Russia's Karma?

I am sometimes asked about the prospects for Russia, Putin, rallies in Russia, the people and so on. In fact, for reasonable people, everything was clear for a long time, as it was clear in the early 20s of the 20th century that the Second World War, or more precisely, the First World Civil War, would begin, all the prerequisites for this were long before the beginning. It's the same with Russia, so I'll just voice a common understanding, open facts that ordinary people do not always see and cannot connect and analyze.

Despite the prophecies circulating on the Internet about the special fate of Russia, its special purpose, in reality everything is very sad, all these "predictors" forget or, more precisely, they simply do not know -- that they live in Kali-yuga, where it is impossible to just do Satya-yuga. 

To do this, you need to work hard, and not any way you want, but following the strictly established regulations of the sastra and acaryas, as the sick patient follows the doctor's recommendations, otherwise imitation of "treatment" or "pious work" will become a screen for Kali, who, unlike these lazy people, does his job well. 

In Kali-yuga, tamo-guna, the mode of ignorance, dominates, which leads to three things: degradation, decomposition and annihilation. Even rajas (the mode of passion) is not strong enough in itself now, rather everything ends with tamo-guna in the present situation. 

Russia is presently under the influence of tamo-guna, so it is easy to understand what we are waiting for. As the Russian Empire collapsed into component parts and ended its existence, as the USSR collapsed into its component parts and ended its existence, so Russia will fall apart into its component parts and end its existence: conditionally into the Moscow principality (where the Russians will live) and the countries formed by nationality type: Tatars will get something, Ukrainians, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Chechens, Armenians, Belarusians, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, and so on. It will disintegrate into nationalism, tribes and factions eventually.

It will happen as suddenly as the Russian Empire collapsed, which existed for 196 years, as the USSR, which existed for 69 years and collapsed in 3 days, the same will happen with Russia.

I would like to note another point that some people stubbornly do not want to believe in this trend, and just observe in their own private basement studio, branding those who say the opposite of their fantasies -- that these are the intrigues of the enemies of Russia: the countries of the West and the United States, maybe even China, but I assure you that it is more profitable for the enemies of Russia that Russia remains whole. Why? Here are some reasons:

1) If Russia collapses even with just various parts spinning off, then a huge arsenal: nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles and less powerful types of weapons and equipment will go to no one knows who or where, and this is a potential threat to all mankind, nuclear and ballistic missiles can fly to the capitals of Western countries and the United States. We should therefore hope the overall Russia state continues. 

In addition, there are many nuclear power plants in Russia, who will get them? And God save us all, if these nuclear reactors will be damaged, or there are accidents, bad management at nuclear power plants -- we are familiar to mankind and the consequences of them, and in the chaos that will begin after the collapse, the risks of accidents are greatly increased.

2) All of Europe is now dependent on Russian natural gas, if after the collapse of Russia the supply of natural gas to Europe stops abruptly, then it will be a disaster for the whole of Europe, and therefore the world.

[PADA: It is very ironic that the West funds Russia, and China, and we are very dependent on getting raw materials, gas, food, manufactured products or other goods from these folks. We have sort of built our own Frankenstein monsters, which could come back to bite us. This has happened many times in history, the empire becomes dependent on some sort of trade with another land, then the trade is attacked or disturbed for some reason, and the empire suffers or cannot sustain itself.] 

3) The Russian economy is financed by the West. 

[PADA: Yep, we made them what they are today, a well oiled war machine, by funding their economy. It is our shared karma with them at this stage. Or as they say, "you bought it, you own it"!]

The collapse of Russia will lead to a loss of funding. The Russian economy is not so much money as a raw material economy, export of raw materials abroad, the same gas that is vital for Western countries, but natural gas is more important than all other raw materials, therefore it was taken out in a separate item, but in a sense 2 and 3 points are related.

To summarize, the disintegration of Russia promises the enemies of Russia economic, political, social problems, or even simpler: a threat to their survival and reproduction or expansion (in all senses or spheres). Therefore, when or if Russia breaks up into separate countries, there will be occupation by enemies, first of all, the seizure of the arsenal, and then of raw materials.

As for Putin, it is clear that he is not an ideal person, but despite his short comings, he fits well with the place, time and circumstance, because if you take others and put in his place, then everything will only get worse right away, either, if we imagine that an ideal person, a saint king, has come to replace Putin, and he begins to establish religious principles in Russia, even by the standards of the Bible or the Koran, then the first thing he will have to do is to close all slaughterhouses, shops and markets, which sell meat, as well as restaurants, cafes and other establishments that prepare and sell meat dishes. 

After he does this or simply says about it out loud, then 10 million in Moscow and 100 million throughout Russia will take to the streets and demand the impeachment of this sectarian, separatist, idealist, crack-brained, mentally ill person, demand to put him into prison, even kill him or some will themselves be ready to eat him, it is only the people, not to mention the government and elites of the country. 

Even those who may be loyal to this bill, simply fearing for their lives, will not support it. So it turns out that everything is in its place, that is above, then below. Putin is a reflection of Russians, and Russians are a reflection of Putin.

But why then do the people go out into the streets, to rallies, why discontent? Gross atheists and materialists think that being determines consciousness, gross establishes subtle, but in reality everything is the other way around, as Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita, but the consciousness of an ordinary person is controlled by his karma and everything will happen according to what is inherent in his karma. 

Therefore, all events are a consequence, a person's karma is a cause. The karma of a person pushes him to rallies and protest, and since the karma of people in Kali-yuga is basically sinful, the consequences are predictable, nothing good will come of it.

Then it turns out that the people are hostage to their karma? Yes and no. At any moment, a living entity who is above the gross, subtle and karma can change his destiny, but he will not do this. Why? 

Here we come to a true understanding of everything that happens, which lies at the basis of everything, a living being (jiva) creates for himself the karma he wants. Karma is the consequence, and the jiva is the cause. The living entity itself puts on the shackles of karma. 

How to understand this in the sphere of our events? And that means that the Russians and Putin themselves created the events that happen to them, otherwise they would take the necessary actions day and night to change their karma, which are prescribed by the sastra, at least from sinful to pious, and it would be even better to strive to moksa, or even better to prema. Putin is an actor hired for Russians by the Russians themselves, and Russians are actors hired for Putin by Putin himself. Everyone plays their part in the tragedy called "Russia".

Returning to Putin, his future is not very good: prison, death or leave the country. I repeat, he wanted it himself, even because this happens in business, he, as a businessman, had to understand this, and the Russians wanted such a ruler-businessman, whom they could choose, and then put him in prison, kill him, or send overseas without restitution. 

And in general, this already looks like a tradition, when the rulers in this territory do not finish very well. And the Russians are waiting for hunger, losses, and so on, also nothing good. What do you want? This is Kali-yuga. 

It's time to be realistic. In Kali-yuga, tomorrow is worse than today, how can you then expect something good and bright without trying to change it tomorrow by the methods established by God, but simply hoping? You get nothing but disappointment and problems. "Society of cheaters and cheating" or "Society of hypocrites and fools" - as the Gaudiya Vaishnava acaryas said. 

We came to this again. It is necessary to change this while there is time, but only a few will be saved as predicted, the rest will be grinded down by Kali-yuga. So think about whether to stay inside the wheel of samsara or get out of its influence. Everything is in the hands of a living being: to remain a slave or to become free. 

Here lies the Rubicon, not on the streets with posters "Freedom to Navalny" or the overthrow of Putin. No matter how much you go out into the streets, no matter how much you do Maidan movement, no matter how much you overthrow the government, you will still remain slaves with the shackles of karma, which you have put on yourself. The caged bird chooses its own cage.

[PADA: Yep, there is just too much heavy duty karma floating around here. We cannot stop the flow of karma easily. Even devotees have gone to various protest meetings to supposedly give out books etc., and yet some other devotees said this is bad because we are then branded as supporting the protest. Probably not a good idea?

And ISKCON has the same basic problem as the tamas guna politicians, they have banned, beat, molested, sued and killed people, tamasic guna behaviors. And now the legacy and -- the karma -- of all that will affect and infect the society and the people of that society in various ways. Karma always acts, even if it takes its time. OK might explain, at least in part, the cancer epidemic among so many persons affiliated with ISKCON. 

Anyway, this is an interesting take on events from Russia itself. Something to think about. At the same time another devotee wrote to me, he is more or less in favor of all this is happening, so everyone will start to get away from using oil and creating hell for the climate. Yep, that is why they call karma, the interknitting knot. One entity's misfortune is another's gain. And when we die, all sorts of microbial entities will be very glad, because now they can eat us up without stop, interknitting indeed, hee hee! ys pd]
