The BBT is pleased to announce the release of the annotated scans for chapter seven of Bhagavad-gita As It Is. They are now online at http:\/\/www.BBTedit.com\/changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a historic chapter because here is where Srila Prabhupada switched from typing manuscripts himself to using a dictaphone.<\/p>\n

What sort of difference did that make? Included with the scans are twelve sample pages from the manuscript, including both typed and dictated portions. So you can see for yourself.<\/p>\n

In the annotated scans, you’ll find examples of both big changes and small ones. Check them out and see what you think.<\/p>\n

On page 362: Why the change from “greatest opportunity for progress in Krsna consciousness” to “greatest opportunity to become a perfectly Krsna conscious person”?<\/p>\n

On page 370: The book used to say that adherents of monism are “misleading themselves and others.” Now it says they are “guided by a faulty and polluted opinion.” Why?<\/p>\n

On page 371: The text used to say that one “cannot create matter out of nothing.” Now that’s gone. Why?<\/p>\n

On page 373: The book used to speak of Krsna’s “kindly supplying water to quench man’s thirst.” Why does it now speak of “tasty water”?<\/p>\n

On page 374: Why does the book no longer say that the omkara transcendental sound “emanates from” the Supreme Lord?<\/p>\n

On page 390: Jayadvaita Swami took out a whole Sanskrit verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam and put in an entirely different one. Why?<\/p>\n

On pages 390 and 394: Why all those changes to the word-for-word meanings for texts 19 and 22?<\/p>\n

In the annotated scans, you’ll see all these revisions and more.<\/p>\n

And finally, on page 400, you’ll see how it came to pass that the first edition had Srimati Kuntidevi offering a prayer from the Isopanisad.<\/p>\n

See all this for yourself in the annotated scans for chapter seven, now online at http:\/\/www.BBTedit.com\/changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’ll see all the revisions done for the purports, along with explanatory notes. And for nearly all the changes you’ll see images from the earliest manuscripts in the BBT’s files.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re for “the changes,” against them, or neutral, here’s another opportunity to see what the changes actually are.<\/p>\n

The changes for the Preface, the Introduction, and the previous chapters are already online. See them all at www.BBTedit.com\/changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
