Hello Mr. Gordon,
I'm just a big fan of ISKCON
tho I can lay no clame to bring of any extra spichel qullafacations, only a person sincerely interested in the stark truths and respect for the realaties being reveled regarding the spirit souls eternal constitutional position, in regard to it's relationships with The Head God'(s) and His eternal position with us.
A realist one might say' but not an impersonalist.
I recognize the perspective of all things being different darivatives of The HeadGods energies some internal & others external, but all are but perels strong on a common thread. Known as A personality called Krishna-Govinda,!
And alltho this head of the gods is not completely known, nor cannot be completely known by our mortal facelties, the methods for realizing His position and understanding the methodollagieys for approaching God and ultimately others is comprehensible Via. Bhakta yoga, and other 'praticed' devotions that simotsineuesly re'erect our standings as more than just a common anamalistic beastly non'spacific living intaty.And in so doing one can accomplish Universal recognition as a human - being!
And thus gradually over time & Via duty fully serving others' that are sincear in their asperations to please Govinda and gradually be re'astablished as a friend of God and His created managestations, with an ultimate aim of 'returning ones permanent residence in Gods eternal abode' which is freed from the partels of jullusy envy and greed and the greef of repeated re'birth and death for everyone!
I can also understand that the Vish'navah Guru's are the key elements in this evolution from an existence within this physical state of dwelling within the darkest of egnorance in desires, to realizing the ways and means of delivorence of all the generations via the inspirations of such universally inlivining and spiritualy inspiring practices.
And Thus' All glorious are due to all the Vishnavas andtheir Guru's and their exhausted teachings practices and associations!
As they truly have realized and therefore can offer the most bonnafied & binnafishal path twords pleasing and directly' serving The Head God and acomplishing eternal self re'realizations.
I also understand that the Head God only appears once' during the four Sessions of Time and that is during ZThis present KallyUgga, and pleasing the 'Head God is the religion of the only religion needed in any age and repeating or pleasingly' chanting His holy names- Har'ray Krishna & Rah'mah plus+ other 'direct services offered to His missions & His representatives is the most direct pleasing, effective and swiftest way to please God & everyone else! Indeed it is the Only way back to home back To the GodHead!
The God heads are eternal and material nature is temporary, the Godheads are Light and nessence is darkness, where there is the GodHeads darkness does not normally exist!

Servent of the servents of the Vishnavas and their Guru's!
