HOW I WILL MAKE THIS PRESENTATION
I will be presenting the Bhagavad-gita As It Is with verse translations by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada; and his personal written “Purports” which means:
“The meaning or sense of something, typically a document or speech.”
Synonyms: gist, substance, drift, implication, intention, meaning, significance, signification, sense, essence, import, tenor, thrust, message, spirit.
THE FIRST POST : "The FORWARD". This post will also have Audio Narration by Siksastaka Dasa ; krishnapath.org.
THE SECOND POST : "The PREFACE". This post will also have Audio Narration by Siksastaka Dasa ; krishnapath.org.
THE THIRD POST: Will be “The INTRODUCTION” written by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. This post will also have Audio Narration by Siksastaka Dasa ; krishnapath.org. .
FOLLOWING THE ABOVE POST: I will present each of the chapters, total of 18, one at a time, which will contain the verses in English, translated by Srila Prabhupada; with most of the verses containing a “Purport” by Srila Prabhupada. Each of these post will also have an Audio Narration by Siksastaka Dasa ; krishnapath.org.
The following is a personal comment communication to the Steemit community; because I am sure Mr./Mrs./Miss./It Cheetah and the pet Robot will more than likely post a comment reply to most of these post that I will contribute to the Steemit community.
Dear Mr./Mrs./Miss./It Cheetah and your pet Robot.
There are three reasons for this comment that I post. The following is the “First” reason and the “Second and Third” reasons will be at the end of this comment
FIRST REASON: If you have the right and power to accuse me of being a cheater by implying this fact by your name; then I have the right and power as well to defend myself. The following is in defence of my posts, which will follow this one, and there content. Also see “Third Reason” at the end of this comment
My source for a lot of what I will post on Steemit, especially the works of my spiritual master, comes from my own personal copy the Bhaktivedanta Veda Base which is a Folio computer application containing all the works of my guru.
These Vedabase CD's have been distributed for free for the past 30 years or so. And they will continue to be so available for free from several sources. The Bhaktivedanta VedaBase is available on the internet; as a free download. In fact, I will soon offer these files and instructions on how to install them on a computer. Also you should know; all of my guru's works are now in the public domain.
Several of my god brothers and sisters have organized and established websites for the purpose of making all the works of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada which are contained in the folio application database called “The Bhaktivedanta VedaBase”. Two that come to mind are http://www.krishnapath.org/ and https://vedabase.io/en/ . Both of these sites use the Bhaktivedanta VedaBase as the source of their presentations.
Each of these two sites have a lot to be desired, at this time, and are a long way off from fully placing all of Srila Prabhupada’s works online; so to speak. Therefore, I have plans to do the same with my own website which will come on-line by the end of 2018. Moreover, I am currently endeavouring to do the same on Steemit.com In both cases everything I will post is pre-1978 original works of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I will not get into the details in this regard and will only say that in 1978 the International Bhaktivedanta Book Trust in Sweden, which is an illegal hijacked version of the real Bhaktivedanta Book Trust established in the USA; began changing the contents of Srila Prabhupada's books and works, and have continued to do so to this date. There are some disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are keeping track of these changes; for the public good.
Whatever source Mr/Mrs/Miss/It Cheetah’s pet Robot says is another source of my post; you may be assured that it is not. The reason it is not is because the source of my post is my own personal copy of “The Bhaktivedanta VedaBase”.
As in those sites and a well as what I post in Steemit or Dtube or Dsound; everything is FREE for download to your computer or smartphone.
ln Srimad Bhagavatam, the most important scripture to Vaisnava’s:
“Completely rejecting all religious activities which are materially motivated, this Bhagavata Purana propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are fully pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful Bhagavatam, compiled by the great sage Vyasadeva [in his maturity], is sufficient in itself for God realization. What is the need of any other scripture? As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of Bhagavatam, by this culture of knowledge the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.” SB 1.1.2
I am personally trying to fulfil that portion which I have highlighted in bold and italic font;
“The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all.”
At this time, I do not see that the Steemit community has this content available for their discrimination and contemplation.
The facilitators of these other websites are also devotees of Krishna and surely many are disciples of Srila Prabhupada; just as I am. They have the same mission as I. Therefore, in pursuant of the above quoted verse, I want to make these works available to the Steemit community for their welfare; just like these other Vaisnava’s are doing on these other web-sites for the general internet community.
It is not one intention of Steemit to promote fruitful dialog. I believe these works will be appreciated by a select core of Steemit community. This stuff is not for everyone.; and for them I say, “If we agree on everything; then we have nothing to talk about.”
My hope is that I will stimulate a dialog with Steemit community members regarding the contents of my posts; both if you are for or against or if you simply have some question or doubt. I offer the Steemit community the opportunity to present thoughtful comments to my posts.
SECOND REASON: Is that your pet robot is very impersonal and not so intelligent; and it would better serve the Steemit community if your pet could point out useless voting scams and schemes just for the purpose of making $$$$$$, or in other words root out the cancerous effect of GREED.
THIRD REASON: Your name of CHEETAH, implies that someone is a cheater. This is rude, unjust, unfair, unwarranted and plain wrong. You have no right to accuse me or anyone else as a cheater without any REAL EVIDENCE, OR RELEVANT FACTS TO THE CONTRARY. You are simply way too IMPERSONAL. You need to become more intelligent and become more PERSONABLE. If your intentions are good; you should change your name to perhaps “WARRING” or “CHECKTHISOUT” or “LOOKATWHATIFOUND”. Please do not imply, suggest, or infer to anyone that they are a cheater. I believe sincerely that the Steemit platform’s intention is not to facilitate ROBOTS OR BOTS. The Steemit platform’s intention is to provide a facility for HUMAN BEINGS of this planet Earth. Why do you not just let the HUMANS in the Steemit community decide for them self’s the merits of the contents of any post; regardless of where it came from. Who cares anyways; it is either a good post or it is a piece of shit. The Steemit community has the right to determine this way or that way. FREE WILL.
And also remember this “Everyone has the right to be Wrong”
