After that Prabhupada started dictating onto tape but as soon as the tapes were transcribed the tapes were apparently used again, recorded over, so as far as we are aware no dictation tapes exist for the Bhagavad gita. And the original typed transcriptions also may not exist, what is there is a collection of typed 'manuscript' pages from various points in the editing process. And for some chapters there are not even any 'manuscript' pages. Those chapters the only thing that exists is the printed 1972 Macmillan Gita which is the real, authorized version of the book...

And they did not exist also in the early 80′s when Jayadviata Swami revised Srila Prabhupada’s Gita. I once wrote an article about this: “No Manuscript, No Problems…” I will try and find that and post it again… There is no manuscript available for these chapters. Actually this is not really the “manuscript” at all. It is an early draft of the book. Srila Prabhupada personally worked on this early draft with Haryagriva to produce the actual manuscript which was presented to Macmillan for printing. That is the real “original manuscript.” And that is almost identical to Srila Prabhupada’s original Macmillan Gita. Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

I assume the masters for chapters 14, 17 and 18 are missing, right? Thanks so much for posting this nectar. I assume the masters for chapters 14, 17 and 18 are missing, right?

This is quite a scoop! Jayadvaita Swami has had plenty of opportunities to publish these but hasn’t done so. It will be interesting to know what he has to say about this. Wow! This is quite a scoop!
