Revised BBT style sheet

[Guest guest]

Thanks Maharaja. I'm happy to see that the BBT is being thoughtful and

reconsidering some of it's old styles. I particularly appreciate the idea of

lower case for pronouns for Krishna, Radha etc.

"Address comments and suggestions to Jayadvaita Swami"

 

A humble suggestion: Why not consider celebrating the fact that Krishna's

name is an English word in the dictionary and drop the diacritics.

 

 

Your servant,

[Guest guest]

Echoing Madhavanandaji's two points enthusiastically. I myself use the

phonetic spelling of Krishna (in Dance of Divine Love book as well as

all scholarly articles, etc.) since it is more accessible to the

English reader than any work, including "krsna", with diacritic marks.

I also have never utilized upper case letters for the initial letter of

pronouns for those whose antecedents are names of personages within the

divinity.

 

Warm regards to all!

Your servant,

Garuda Das
