Thank you very much Hari Sauri prabhu for time to write a comment to my

letter. I agree with the points that you made but I wonder if they are

relevant to my request?

 

As I mentioned the devotee who I think is called Sri Nandanandana (?) and

hoes recording I am listening to sung all the songs at the seminars on

Vaisnava Acaya's Songs held by Tamala Krsna Goswami. BB Govinda Goswami

engaged him in some of his seminars as well.

 

This already gives him certain credibility in my eyes but perhaps even more

importantly I noticed that in two or three out of five songs that we sing

every day during temple program we are adding few words or even few lines to

the original text of the songs. In Guru Vandana song there are no lines

"dui pade loila araŠa" and "prabhupada-patita-p€vana".

 

In VedaBase which is authentic source of reference for ISKCON these two

additional lines are mentioned after the text of the song as "extra words".

Similarly Within Gaura aratika there are few more lines added in original

text which are regularly sung by devotees.

 

The lines that I am looking for in Bhuliya Tomare song are similarly to

added lines of Gaura Aratika song variations of words from previous verse.

 

Once more I thank you for your feed back but considering the above I am

really not sure how relevant it is to my request?
