Prabhupada on Editing Bhaktsiddhanta — Don’t
Changes, Prabhupada — By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on December 1, 2007 10:12 amKīrtanānanda: Why don’t you write some purports to that? (Srila Bhaktsiddhanta´s Sri Brahma Samhita)
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Kīrtanānanda: To Bhaktisiddhānta’s Brahma-samhitā. It would be nice if you would write some purports to it.
Prabhupāda: Purports?
Kīrtanānanda: Yes. Some of us have difficulty understanding Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So if I get time… My time is very limited. So even there is difficulty, let them read over and over and again. Then they will understand. Why should we change it? Let it be presented as Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī has given.

We are adamantly opposed to editing Prabhupada’s books. How can you improve on perfection? All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Ravindra Svarup told me in 1997 that he was put in charge of making the changes in Srila Prabhupada’s Books by the GBC. He said because Jayadvaita Swami was the closest thing to a Fundementalist he let him do it and he himself just checked for spelling.
