Small Word, Big Difference

An essential esoteric point is lost in this speculative edit:

    "For one in such Krsna consciousness there are no material activities because everything is done BY Krsna."
    (Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Original 1972 Macmillan 12. 2. purport)

    "For one in such Krsna consciousness there are no material activities because everything is done BY Krishna."
    (Original manuscript)

    "For one in such Krishna consciousness there are no material activities because everything is done FOR Krishna."
    (The changed Bhagavad-gita by Jayadvaita Swami)

This video clip with the Prabhupada-disciple Bhagavat prabhu further illustrates the point:

    "When I sit here to write, Krsna comes personally. He dictates to me what to write. I take dictation from Krsna and I write these books." ~ HDG Srila Prabhupada
    (As told by Bhagavat das)



There is also this popular quote:

    Guru Das: "Prabhupada, you're laughing at your own books."

    Prabhupada: "I did not write these books, Krsna wrote them!"
