What two versions of the Gita? This is total nonsense. This is Prabhupada's

Bhagavad Gita and Hayagriva & Jayadvaita have done some service correcting

the english etc. They can take no credit in the writing just like a janitor

cannot take credit for running and funding a school even though if the

janitor doesn't do the job properly everything becomes hellish. If they have

screwed up in some placed due to their

imperfect senses and material conditioning, that doesn't make different

versions. I cannot believe that Prabhupada's Gita can be characterized in

such a frivilous manner. It is ridiculous and offensive. Actually, it is

beyond being

just plain stupid!

 

Can you imagine people in such illusion can suggest that the footnoting of

the Gita. Should we laugh or should we cry? I think we should cry.

 

Hopefully, this will be my last posting on the issue. I apologize if the

truth hurts.
