The new BBT book changes web page informs us that the transcripts for the last six chapters of Srila Prabhupada's dictation of "Bhagavad-gita As It Is" were lost "sometime before 1972." Most editors would have some difficulty in editing a book to "make it closer to the original" if they did not have the original to work from! But it's no problem for our BBT editors! They still managed to make hundreds of changes in these six chapters without any original material from Srila Prabhupada to work from at all. It appears to be all their own work. It seems they had NOTHING to work from except Srila Prabhupada's original unabridged "Bhagavad-gita As It Is" and the final version of the manuscript that was used by the typesetters to produce the book [which must be practically identical to the printed book.].

"'Original manuscripts' means different things... for the last chapters it refers to the old retyped manuscripts from which the 1972 Macmillan edition was produced. The 'retyped manuscripts' for the last six chapters were copied from original transcriptions on which much editing had already been done. The typist followed the edited version, adding what the editor had added and deleting what he had deleted. Sometime before 1972, the original transcriptions themselves were apparently lost. (This loss is why the revisions in the last six chapters of the Second Edition are particularly light.)" [Jayadvaita Swami from his BBT book changes web page]

A few examples of the changes that appear to have been produced out of the minds of the BBT editors only are given below [there are SO many more]:

Without Humility Understanding is Harmful?
BG 13.8 Original Version		Revised & Enlarged Version
...If anyone wants to compete with God and at the same time make advancement in spiritual knowledge, he will be frustrated. It is clearly stated that without humility understanding is harmful. To think oneself God is most puffed up. Although the living entity is always being kicked by the stringent laws of material nature, still he thinks, "I am God" because of ignorance. One should be humble and know that he is subordinate to the Supreme Lord.		...If anyone wants to compete with God and at the same time make advancement in spiritual knowledge, he will be frustrated.

Acting in Goodness Leads to Knowledge?
BG 14.6 Original Version		Revised & Enlarged Version
O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions.

Acting in Goodness Purifies One?

The Soft Line for Ksatriyas
BG 16.1 Original Version		Revised & Enlarged Version
The word tejas used here is meant for the ksatriyas. The ksatriyas should always be very strong to be able to give protection to the weak. They should not pose themselves as nonviolent. If violence is required, they must exhibit it.		The word tejas used here is meant for the ksatriyas. The ksatriyas should always be very strong to be able to give protection to the weak.
