There is always a sweet sound to the well choreographed army marching boots at the sound of military music. Discipline is the over-riding factor here, not sense gratification. Hare Krishna!!!

Military marches are also a kind of a dance, perhaps comparable to Lord Shiva’s dance at the time of destruction. Whence the use of the word choreography. Here is what the MacBook dictionary gives for the word choreography:

choreography | ˌkɒrɪˈɒɡrəfi | noun [mass noun] 

the sequence of steps and movements in dance or figure skating, especially in a ballet or other staged dance: the rumbustious choreography reflects the themes of the original play

• the art or practice of designing choreographic sequences: as well as dancing she did a great deal of choreography

We note that it does not make reference to military marches at all. The word choreography can however be used very adequately in this military context. Just see the discipline in this army!!! Just see the “esprit de corps” of this army!!! Just see the cohesion of this army!!! The repetitive melody is fabulously pleasant-sounding, strong and hard-hitting and extremely intoxicating as well. Also their steps are quite naturally elegant and not as pretentious and ostensibly artificial like that of some other nations, which we may not mention. The boots definitely crackle in unison. Obviously a strong, impressive, and well discipline army to defend a people of 1.4 billion souls. China has a great culture of its own, is very careful to protect it, and we may be inspired in our determination to execute our own Krishna conscious duties by viewing this glorious images! All glories to the-for-the-time-being unknown author of this march. Would you be prepared and agree to die at the sound of this music???

And all glories to the ladies in red!!!

And all glories to the ladies in navy blue!!!

And all glories to the ladies in white!!!

And all glories to the ladies in military green or khaki!!

But nothing warrants sexism in reverse:

So all glories to all men as well that participated in the parade.

If my information is correct and please correct me if I am wrong, it would appear that Srila Prabhupada said the Chinese will be last to join the Krishna Consciousness Movement and they would be THE STRONGEST. Last definitely does not mean least.

But this is all sectarianism, which sounds a bit negative. There is of course another cultural dimension to it. Every human body comes with its own culture, its own cultural variants and above all with its very own unlimited mixture of the three nodes of material nature. Krishna, being God, the Supreme Being, certainly does not lack imagination and resources and is thus able to satisfy each and everyone-soul in their expressive expectations. In the Vedas, it is said there are 400 000 human species.

“The living entities are described as ananta, or unlimited; nonetheless, they are said to belong to 8,400,000 species. As stated in the Visnu Purana:

jala-ja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati
krmayo rudra-sankhyakah paksinam dasa-laksanam
trimsal-laksani pasavah catur-laksani manusah

“There are 900,000 species living in the water. There are also 2,000,000 nonmoving living entities (sthavara), such as trees and plants. There are also 1, 100,000 species of insects and reptiles, and there are 1,000,000 species of birds. As far as quadrupeds are concerned, there are 3,000,000 varieties, and there are 400,000 human species.” Some of these species may exist on one planet and not on another, but in any case within all the planets of the universe — and even in the sun — there are living entities. This is the verdict of the Vedic literatures. Ref. VedaBase => Caitanya Caritarmta Madhya 19.138

We have the Chinese sect on display here. Their immediate competitor is the USA sect, which is not really the expression of one ethnic identity, as is the case for the Chinese. The same applies to Australia, which seems more to be an international gathering of individuals of higher moral standards. And let us not forget the original people of Australia to whom we pay our respects. It is very striking that some aboriginal expressions are so close to the Sanskrit language just like a village in New South Wales called “Mandurama”. More research is required in this field.

Then there is the Russian sect who are unjustly wreaking havoc on their immediate neighbour, the Ukrainian sect. And the world is thus divided in another 185 or so other sects as well. We should note that 5000 years ago the world was ONE, with its administrative head in New Delhi, India. Because we are not being taught these matters at any level of our western schooling, we may say that we are misinformed at the best, brainwashed at the worst.

Under the direction of the Krishna Consciousness Movement the tendency now is to become ONE again , because the human nature whatever its origin or location on the planet is after all ONE. The Krishna Consciousness Movement is the only movement that has got the right ideology to unify the whole planet. The Krishna Consciousness Movement is the only movement that has got the powerful Krishna ideology to unify the whole planet. The Communist Movement tried the same but failed. Globalisation minds for Krishna consciousness from all countries please come forward and unite.

Because I think that the land in which I have taken birth is worshipable and because above all I think I am this body. I am Chinese, I am American. I am French, I am black, I am white, I am female or I am male, I am dog, I am cat . This is technically called false ego or in Sanskrit “ahankara”. It is a wrong or false identification. To use President Trump’s expression: it is “a fake identification”. Just like in the mad house someone may think that he is Hitler or someone else will think she is Cleopatra. If we do not know what is our real identity, then we are mad or crazy and the world becomes a very dangerous place to life in. If you present false identity papers at customs then you are in all sorts of trouble. Similarly because of our false identification, we are in all sorts of problems. As particularly explained in the first part of the second chapter of Bhagavada Gita As It Is, there is however real identity. My real identity is that I am spirit soul part and parcel of the Supreme Spirit or God, Krishna. The Sanskrit Mantra is ” Aham Brahmasmi”. So that if I want to be a soldier let me become Krishna’s soldier, as Arjuna did. Amazingly some people when asked “What is your identity” give the correct answer on the spot: “I am spirit soul” That is real knowledge and real learning.

It is summed up in Bhagavad Gita, Version 3, chapter 2, verse 12:

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.”

Bhagavad Gita As It Is, version 3, chapter 5, text 18 also states:

vidya-vinaya-sampanne
brahmane gavi hastini
suni caiva sva-pake ca
panditah sama-darsinah

Word for word rendition

vidya — with education; vinaya — and gentleness; sampanne — fully equipped; brahmane — in the brahmana; gavi — in the cow; hastini — in the elephant; suni — in the dog; ca — and; eva — certainly; sva — pake — in the dog — eater (the outcaste); ca — respectively; panditah — those who are wise; sama-darsinah — who see with equal vision.

TRANSLATION

On account of his true knowledge and humble nature, one who is thus situated in Krishna consciousness, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog eater (outcast)

PURPORT

A Krsna conscious person does not make any distinction between species or castes. The brahmana and the outcaste may be different from the social point of view, or a dog, a cow, and an elephant may be different from the point of view of species, but these differences of body are meaningless from the viewpoint of a learned transcendentalist. This is due to their relationship to the Supreme, for the Supreme Lord, by His plenary portion as Paramatma, is present in everyone’s heart. Such an understanding of the Supreme is real knowledge. As far as the bodies are concerned in different castes or different species of life, the Lord is equally kind to everyone because He treats every living being as a friend yet maintains Himself as Paramatma regardless of the circumstances of the living entities. The Lord as Paramatma is present both in the outcaste and in the brahmana, although the body of a brahmana and that of an outcaste are not the same. The bodies are material productions of different modes of material nature, but the soul and the Supersoul within the body are of the same spiritual quality. The similarity in the quality of the soul and the Supersoul, however, does not make them equal in quantity, for the individual soul is present only in that particular body whereas the Paramatma is present in each and every body. A Krsna conscious person has full knowledge of this, and therefore he is truly learned and has equal vision. The similar characteristics of the soul and Supersoul are that they are both conscious, eternal and blissful. But the difference is that the individual soul is conscious within the limited jurisdiction of the body whereas the Supersoul is conscious of all bodies. The Supersoul is present in all bodies without distinction.(This purport is still subject to version three verification)

Please chant

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

ALWAYS or at the very least chant 1728 Hare Krishna mantras daily, i.e. about two hours of Hare Krishna meditation. Also please follow the regulative pinciples of freedom. This expression regulative principles of freedom is found in the Bhagavad Gita 2.64 Version 3, as follows:

2.64 Being freed from all attachment and detachment, a person who has control over his senses through the regulated principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.

The regulative principles of freedom are 4 in number as follows:

No illicit sex

No gambling

No intoxication

No eating of meat, fish and eggs.

If one adopts this lifestyle over an extended period of time and is able to maintain his position, then he can achieve “the complete mercy of the Lord” i.e. his or her life becomes perfect . Hare Krishna!
