Here is what Srila Prabhupada writes in OT for BGAII 4.10:

“Being freed from attachment, fear and anger and being situated in full Krishna consciousness, many, many persons in the past became purified by transcendental knowledge about the Lord- and thus all of them became perfect devotees.” 

Now, do we see any want or any defect in this sentence???

I personally do not.

Perhaps change “about the Lord” into ” of Me” as both editors have done.

Besides that Srila Bhaktisiddhanta used to say the better a class, the more “Krishna” words you will find, which would apply to BG verses as well. So Srila Prabhupada wins from that point of view too as His rendition contains the word “Krishna” and both editors’ doesn’t. They actually have the audacity to erase the holy name “Krishna”, when the Acarya Himself put it there. This is demoniac madness!

And there is only ONE Bhagavad Gita AS It Is. There aren’t TWO. One is fake and the other is authentic. You guess which is which.

For once both editors agree on the following much lesser value rendition:

“Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me — and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.”

We think easily and conclusively that BGAII, 4.10, version 3, should read:

“Being freed from attachment, fear and anger and being situated in full Krishna consciousness, many, many persons in the past became purified by transcendental knowledge of Me– and thus all of them became perfect devotees.” 

whereas current reading in Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva and current reading in Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita is as stated above.

Let us stop his global farce to express it mildly.

Today is Putrada Ekadasi, January 10th 2025, another quarter century gone.

I remember in 1976 / 1977 in Vrndavan, UP we did get the best prasadam on Ekadasi.

That is the Krishna conscious way. That is the smart way.

Last but not least.

As I was typing Putrada Ekadasi, the computer so-called corrected me and replaced Putrada with the detestable word “putrid” instead. This inappropriate and uncalled for action reflects the mood of the times we live in and we better watch our each and every step.

That’s also the style of these Bhagavad Gita editors, both of them.But the second one is worse, because he should have adjusted things properly. We may call them computer brains in a negative sense, meaning mechanical and completely conditioned. No independent thinking, no real thinking. Hare Krishna
