Talk about the mental platform...whew! I don't care about the meaning of the changes. Changes weren't necessary - that's the aparadha if there is any. > If Krsna has accepted his service, IF is a pretty big word. > it remains Bhagavad-gita AS IT IS and you > are in thick soup (which I believe you already are in). Been here in thick soup for a long time and will be for longer no thanks to people like you. > If Prabhupada was here physically, would you criticize Jayadvaita Swami > without Prabhupada's approval? Wouldn't need to because Srila Prabhupada would do it himself just as he did when Ramesvara and his gang were making unauthorized changes. I'm taking Srila Prabhupada's side in this battle. They are his books and we do not have the right to change them without his approval. It's simple respect and honor. And this still doesn't answer the simple questions that you guys keep avoiding: If Srila Prabhupada were here (bodily), would they make edits/changes and publish them WITHOUT his approval? And if not, why wouldn't they publish them without his approval? (I know it's obvious to some of us but I'm still curious to hear the answer).
