“WE MUST READ WHAT SRILA PRABHUPADA READS. ABOVE IMAGE SHOWS SRILA PRABHUPADA READING THE 1972 SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM FIRST CANTO. NO MORE ARGUMENTS AFTER SEEING THE SPIRITUAL MASTER HIMSELF TAKING PLEASURE IN READING THE FIRST EDITIONS.”
If there are still any oppositions on this, it is to be understood that these misleaders are opposing Srila Prabhupada himself. Why would he ever want to reject the books on which we delivered 100s of lectures?
Another thing to note is that when Srila Prabhupada says the original way, it means original paper quality, font size, pictures, front covers, content, everything. These instructions were given in 1976 to Ramesvara Dasa.
The 10 volume supporters changed everything, front covers, font size, paper size, revised content, everything. They do not even know the definition of the original way, yet they claim their bogus set is fully original.
So now we have another group of devotees promoting “non-original” as original. They are as dangerous as book changers because they are involved in changing everything.
If they are criticizing BBTI for changing content, front cover, paper size,etc, then why do these same people do what BBTI does, i.e, change everything and play with Srila Prabhupada’s books as is done with the 10 volume SB?
Another example of this is the pocket edition of 1972 BG that has cut off synonyms and sanskrit verses. Nowhere do we find Srila Prabhupada approving such bogus work.
If this rascal business continues, then in future anyone will start printing their own version of “originals” as is being done these days. Will Srila Prabhupada like this?
In no case will we ever support their corrupted work and will continue to raise a very strong voice against all those who try to massacre and play with Srila Prabhupada’s books the way they want.
