Here in OT BGAII 3.17, Srila Prabhupada positively sets up a trap for all foolish editors to come, and Jayadvaita walks right into it like a foolish animal that he actually is. What Jayadvaita subsequently renders as BGAII 3.17 also makes him look like a total monist and philosophically a fool as well, more epithets that he consequently deserves. So altogether impersonalist, monist, usurper, traitor and pretender, and above all, philosophically speaking, a FOOL.

Actually Jayadvaita has no principles whatsoever. He only works for his vanity. And his thinking is purely reactive: meaning to say if Hayagriva writes black or right, Jayadvaita out of his smart ass mentality will sometimes write white or left. This is just about the apogee of his thinking. There is nothing beyond that in Jayadvaita’s mind. His first principle is to bluff and mislead the innocent, the GBC and the whole world as well, and to impudently pretend he knows better than Srila Prabhupada. What a Maha-Aparadhi! What a Maha-offender at the lotus feet of his Guru, Srila Prabhupada! And so far he is successful in his foolish enterprise. Who is going to stop him and when is he going to be stopped?

He is a third class man or Vaisya, representative of his community, trying to be a first class man or Brahmin. Nothing wrong with that. It’s an open competition and every willing player gets his chance. It’s a bit like in a svayamvara ceremony. He is trying to be a peacock but in reality he is a crow only and always will be. Again from this particular instance, we may say that the Governing Body of ISKCON, who adopted Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita in 19?? or 20?? did not display much due diligence either.

Hayagriva, however, being much more intelligent and much smarter than Jayadvaita gets it right. All glories to him. Despite superficial defects of BGAII V1, this episode represents the undeniable proof that BGAII V 1 is much better than BGAII V2 by Jayadvaita and the GBC of Iskcon should without further delay revert to it as the official version. In French high school we used to call this “la preuve par 9” or undeniable proof. Not quite sure where the expression comes from though. Would be interesting to find out. What’s it got to do with 9?

The collective GBC must have thought: “This is new and we need a change. Let’s adopt it. Whatever is new is good! All glories to our deepest wisdom! We shall worry about eventual problems later. This “later” is here now!” What a throughout thoughtless philosophy and action!!! How many times did Srila Prabhupada strongly chastise this merry-go-round mentality, how many times?

To correct this mistake the Governing Body Commission of ISKCON (the GBC) ought to immediately and officially revert to Hayagriva’s version one of Bhagavad Gita As It Is. It is the very best we have at this time, there is no doubt about that.

The most crucial question therefore is:

WHEN IS THE GBC OF ISKCON GOING TO WAKE UP TO IT and once and for all STOP THIS NONSENSE??? GBC of ISKCON, you are misleading the whole world by your wrong choice of Bhagavad Gita. And the whole world will fight back at you. This is the law of karma. You better be prepared for that impact. The sooner you act the better. But the consequences are accumulating still. Therefore there is great urgency and the best time to act is NOW!!! Please immediately and officially retract the appropriate resolution on the adoption of Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita and revert to Bhagavad Gita As It Is by Hayagriva. There is no alternative. Just do it!!!

Srila Prabhupada remains as cool headed as ever. He must be laughing. Srila Prabhupada is a great mystic. No one can cheat Him. You try to cheat Him and you will only cheat yourself. You think you outmanoeuvred him. But he tricked you big time. You are lying on your back in the mud, covered with cow stool and urine, which is very auspicious indeed. Hopefully it will get you to your proper senses. And the world is laughing at you: “Well done, well done. What a farce this ISKCON! Serves you right for betraying its founder.” The so called “karmis” understand very well the concepts of faithfulness and loyalty which you have abandoned. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was asked to commit suicide because he was perceived to having betrayed the Fuhrer, Mr. Hitler. And as a professional soldier, he did it.

Let me ask you two simple questions:

Most important question One:

“Is everyone of the 30 or so GBC members strictly chanting 16 rounds minimum of Japa daily?” What is your answer? I am challenging you! What is your answer please??? Those who don’t chant at least 16 rounds of japa daily are disqualified from being members of the GBC board.

Question two:

” Is everyone of the 30 or so GBC members strictly following the four regulative principles of no ILLICIT SEX, NO GAMBLING, NO INTOXICATION,. and NO EATING OF MEAT, FISH or EGGS. Again I am challenging you. What is your answer please???? We hope that everyone is following the four regulative principles but those who don’t are not qualified to be members of the GBC board.

Let us see some ACTION NOW, PLEASE!!!

I am now starting to understand what sometimes seems to be some mysterious, contradictory and consequently baffling translator’s and commentator’s strategies by Srila Prabhupada and need to scrutinisingly redouble my attention and concentration on the Original Transcript (OT) by Srila Prabhupada. Thank you Srila Prabhupada for your tests.
