Srila Prabhupada’s 1969 Sri Isopanisad Back in Print

When the BBT editors made extensive unauthorized changes to Srila Prabhupada’s Sri Isopanisad in 1977 Prabhupada, when he learnt of the changes, was very upset and directly ordered the BBT to return the next printing of Sri Isopanisad to the original way it was published without any unauthorized changes. Now, twenty-six years later, the BBT have reprinted Prabhupada’s original Sri Isopanisad. It is very good news.   ...Read More

Prabhupada Reading His Own Books [original pre-1977 edition]

Entering Srila Prabhupada’s quarters was always an enlightening experience. Sometimes Srila Prabhupada sat and read His books. Whenever He read it seemed as if someone else had written His books because He didn’t read with the mind of an author who might be looking for editing mistakes or grammatical errors. He read them with the relish of a pure devotee reading the pastimes of the Supreme Lord to whom He was completely attached.   ...Read More

Srila Prabhupada’s books Should Not be changed!

Post-disappearance editorial revisions by conditioned sould to the sacred, memorialized realizations of an exalted Acarya are nothing less than crude, insulting and offensive. Yet, this is precisely what has taken place for two decades and continues to take place by those who, ironically, have a special spiritual duty to preserve Srila Prabhupada’s literary legacy at all cost.   ...Read More

Where Angels Fear to Tread

Recordings made from 1972 until 1977, six years, demonstrate how Srila Prabhupada often personally read excerpts from the Gita in classes, room conversations, engagements, etc. Many times he also instructed devotees present to read aloud as he listened. There is no evidence indicating that he ordered extensive revisions for the next printing. As the current chief editor wrote; “To my knowledge, Srila Prabhupada never asked us to re-edit the book.”   ...Read More

BBT Admits Books Changed To Fit GBC Philosophy

The BBT could not allow Srila Prabhupada to teach that Jagannatha Dasa Babaji actually *initiated* Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, for that would indirectly sanction Srila Prabhupada *initiating* for many generations to come simply via his transcendental knowledge, with the ‘formal initiation’ administered via the Ritvik system that he set up.   ...Read More

The Case Against Changing Prabhupada’s Books Part III

While planning to print the unabridged version of the Bhagavad-gita, Srila Prabhupada often referred to it as the revised and enlarged edition. When the BBT published its unauthorized adulterated Gita years later, they would henceforward refer to the 1972 printing as the original edition while calling theirs the revised and enlarged edition. This appears to be a subtle act of deception meant to validate the irreverent practice of changing Srila Prabhupada’s Books…   ...Read More

It Has Always Been Clear to Me that Prabhuapda’s Books Should Never be Changed…

It has always been clear for me that Prabhupada’s books should never be changed, specially once they were edited and accepted by their author, who used them himself to lecture while present. That is why I am keeping the original version of Bhagavad Gita (1975 MacMillan) and not reading from other editions. The message is so clear when you read Srila Prabhupada’s original but when I try to read from the most recent version in some cases the verses, although once familiar to me, become quite unclear.   ...Read More

Arsha Prayoga - Part One

BBT Misleads Devotees with Changed Books

I am inspired to submit a short statement about the new CC’s just as an alert to devotees who want to buy or distribute them. I recently purchased the new 9 vol. compact set of CC’s ($99) from BBT. I received them yesterday and am unhappily returning them. On looking at the first volume, after reading the Forward, there was a small footnote saying that this printing is revised from the original edition. I am interested in the original edition. There was no mention in the ads that I’ve seen that these are the revised editions. Also, out of honesty, I think the BBT should note on the title page that these are revised editions. No where on the front or back of the title page is this noted. Any published book has this information prominently displayed on the title or verso page — not hidden in a footnote at the end of the Forward. How many people are going to see this? What’s also disturbing is that it says on the title page “with the original Bengali text, roman transliteration, English equivalents, translations and elaborate purports.” This is mis-leading, text has been changed by the editor’s admission on page xviii in a note. My request is that at least in the ads for the CC’s, it should be mentioned that this is the revised edition. Interestingly enough, there is no where that I know of where you can find the changes that were made to the CC like you can with the revised BG. I’m not here to debate about revising Prabhupada’s words, though you can probably guess what I think. I’m just asking the BBT to be up front about what they’re doing so devotees have a choice. I’ve also sent a note to the BBT and krsna.com to re-consider the ads and revised edition note. Thank you.   ...Read More

BBT Reprint Changed Caitanya-caritamrta — Without Knowing What has been Changed!

Although it was decided by the BBT to reprint Srila Prabhupada’s original Caitanya-caritamrta Jayadvaita Swami and Dravida, the devotees who changed the books, have managed to convince the BBT trustees to reverse their decision and print their changed edition instead. However the BBT has no idea at all what changes have been made in the books!!!   ...Read More

Just What is Jayadvaita’s Point?

I was one BBT trustee along with Srila Prabhupada and Bali Mardan when I went to Srila Prabhupada and suggested we reprint his Original Bhagavatams for the pleasure of his devotees who liked the old Indian version… Before finishing my proposal, Srila Prabhupada admonished me saying, no–whatever Hayagriva has done is perfect, I have full faith in him as the editor of my books. This was quite some time after the publication of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita. He went on to say “whatever he (Hayagriva) has done is perfect, do not touch it, I have full faith in him.”   ...Read More
