Guest guest Posted August 29, 1998 Report Share Posted August 29, 1998 I have no opinion. A reliable source informed us that Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura objected to the term "Gita Jayanti." We wrote our resolution accordingly. I have no opinion about other terms. Nor would I care to speculate about what Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura's reasons were. By the way: Posting one's texts widely to users who have expressed no interest in the subject matter, and to conferences where the texts are unlikely to be considered relevant, is considered a display of bad COM manners. By persisting in such behavior, one offends other users and places one's own user privileges at risk. Please stop. Thank you.
