**Unauthorised changes to Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-Gita made by Jayadwaita

swami** Note: spot the difference between the old version and the new.Here he

has inserted **souls** and **they** Bg 4.34 (new version by Jayadwaita

swami)Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire

from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized **souls**

can impart knowledge unto you because **they** have seen the truth.Note: here

he has ADDED a text which was NEVER there in the original.**Nor by independent

study of books of knowledge can one progress inspiritual life.**PURPORT Bg 4.34

(new version by Jayadwaita swami)The Bhagavatam (6.3.19) says dharmam tu saksad

bhagavat-pranitam: the path of religion is directly enunciated by the Lord.

Therefore, mentalspeculation or dry arguments cannot help lead one to the right

path. **Nor by independent study of books of knowledge can one progress in

spiritual life.** One has to approach a bona fide spiritual master to receive

the knowledge. Bg 4.34 ( Srila Prabhupada's Original untampered version)Just

try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him

submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized **soul**can impart

knowledge unto you because **he** has seen the truth.PURPORTThe Bhagavatam

(6.3.19) says, dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam--the path of religion is

directly enunciated by the Lord. Therefore, mentalspeculation or dry arguments

cannot help one progress in spiritual life. One has to approach a bona fide

spiritual master to receive the knowledge. The changes made are **very

significant** because they change the**entire** meaning of the text.Diksa

(transcendental Knowledge) is imparted by one self-realizedperson--the acarya

(Srila Prabhupada)It is **one singular** person uttama-adhikari(Prabhupada)

that transmits diksa (see antya 4.192-4.194) into the madhyama-adhikaris heart.

Krishna's pastimes reflected in the heart of Prabhupada are transmitted

(televised) in the Madhyama-adhikari's heart when he chants offenselessly

---this is transcendental ksnowledge(diksa).Therefore the plural words "The

self-realized **souls** can impartknowledge unto you because **they** have seen

the truth" are totallyincorrect.Adi 1.35 A devotee **must** have only **one

initiating spiritual master** because in the scriptures acceptance of more than

one is always forbidden. Next change, the ADDED text in the purport.**Nor by

independent study of books of knowledge can one progress inspiritual

life.**Srila Prabhupada's books are not ordinary books of knowledge. Therefore

this change is totally meaningless and unjustified. This are**

not**Prabhupada's words in the Bhagavad-Gita.Here it appears Jayadwaita swami

is trying to manipulate the devotees into searching for a "guru" of the

concocted 2/3 majority votes. Is it not?Srila Prabhupada and his books are not

different.Adi-lila 1-35There is **no difference between the spiritual master's

instructions and the spiritual master himself**. in his absence, therefore, his

words of direction should be the pride of the disciple.Note: Srila Prabhupada's

words of direction----Srimad-Bhagavatam there is no difference between Srila

Prabhupada's Instruction and himself (the uttama-adhikari is powerful to give

diksa from his books).SB 1.7.22 The spiritual master, **by his words**, can

penetrate into the heart of the suffering person and **inject knowledge

transcendental**, which alone can extinguish the fire of material existence.SB

2.9.8 the potency of transcendental sound is **never minimised** because

thevibrator is **apparently absent**.
