They made changes so that this multiple guru system can authorized…!

The problem is that ISKCON did not follow this clear instruction of Srila Prabhupada that he repeated over and over again, “Do not change my books…”

Instead they have made at least 5000 changes to his Bhagavad-gita As It Is, and in 99.9% of the changes there is no error in the original book to correct. So why have they made these changes against the clear orders of Srila Prabhuapda not to change?

You say I have not mentioned any changes, I have mentioned almost 100 specific changes that significantly change the meaning of what Srila Prabhuapda says at:

And I have provided a complete computerized comparison of the original “Bhagavad-gita As It Is” and ISKCON’s “Revised and Enlarged” edition at:

http://bookchanges.com/iskcon-bhagavad-gita-changes-complete-list/

Here you can clearly see all the changes that ISKCON has made to Prabhuapda’s Bhagavad-gita As It Is. So please spend some time studying these changes. Particularly read the original book and see if there is any error in the original book that needs to be “fixed.” And keep in mind that Prabhupada’s instruction is “They can not change anything.”

Of course if there are real errors in the English and Sanskrit then no one will complain if they are corrected. That is proof-reading not changing. If I fix a spelling mistake or a grammar mistake that is not changing. But you will not find many of this sort of bona fide correction, there are some, but the huge bulk of the changes to Prabhuapda’s Gita, thousands of changes, have been made when there is absouletly no problem at all in the original book that needs to be “fixed.”

This has been the greatest mistake ISKCON have made. And they have made a lot of mistakes. But nothing comes close to this attack on Srila Prabhupada’s books.

Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

For the last twenty years I have felt that the changes to Srila Prabhupada’s books were also a threat.

Whenever I tried to point this out to the authorities, my objections fell on deaf ears. The main excuse was – oh, they are just fixing the typographical errors! This is absolute bull dust as they have gone far beyond just fixing typo errors.

We both know that a small change here and there will eventually destroy the original meaning.

You have my full support and I am so glad that the original books are available through your store.

Your servant,
Vasudama das.
