Dear Mr Robot aka Cheetah..
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 application containing all the works of my guru.
These Veda Base 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. Also you should know; all of my guru's works are now in the public domain. Ok! if you want to buy a book published by the proper authorities; you can do that.
Nevertheless, I intend to present, on Steemit, all these works; just as they are presented on many websites on the internet i.e. FOR FREE.
In the case of the website you will surely mention; you will find that all the media on this website is free to read or hear on-line or to download the file you are interested in.
In 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 fulfill that portion which I have highlighted in bold font;
“The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all.”
By making these presentations of Srila Prabhupada’s books, in all matter of media, to the Steemit community. At this time, I do not see that the Steemit community has this content available for their discrimination and contemplation.
The facilitators of this website 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 various web-sites.
It is not the 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.
So far, there have been several comments like, and I am quoting them:
“OMG! This is SUCH an AMAZING post! Thank you for sharing! I gave you a vote!!”
“This is the best post on Steemit. I gave you a vote now, ya heard?”
This is my intention and not $. Nevertheless, what ever money I may earn by these posts will be donated to many possible Krishna consciousness projects. It is not my intention to make money for my self; there is no need. The reason being is that Krishna has kept his promiss in Bhagavad-gita 18.66 i.e. He has provide me with a handsome retirement pension so to speak.
Therefore, Mr. Robot Cheetah; whoever programed you should do a better job and make you smarter. Another point to consider is that it is highly unlikely that any Steemit community member is aware of any of the websites you may post as other sources of my posts. Hence; personally I am doing the Steemit community a great service and my spiritual master I am sure will be pleased with me.
