Here we find the typical smart ass, whimsical and kick-in-the-face-of-Srila-Prabhupada fake alteration.

In the original transcript Srila Prabhupāda writes verbatim:

“Body is therefore immaterial and thus Arjuna was advised to fight without consideration of the material body and sacrificing the cause of religion.”

Granted the last part of the sentence is a little ambivalent and therefore requires interpretation. Consequently Hayagriva interprets it in one way and Jayadvaita in a second, different, way.The question then is: Who is right and who I wrong. Can the two be right? NO! When writing this Srila Prabhupāda had something in mind. And what that is we have to find out.

But let us go back to the “smart-ass, whimsical and kick-in-the-face-of-Srila-Prabhupada fake alteration.

Without hesitation smart ass Hayagriva jumps and replaces Srila Prabhupada’s more elegant “immaterial” with the common “unimportant” thus misrepresenting Srila Prabhupada and lowering the literary quality of the whole presentation. And puppy Jayadvaita just follows on this point only. Later he wakes up. Besides that dictionary will give “unimportant” for “immaterial”. So the meanings are the same. But Srila Prabhupada “immaterial” is just more elegant English. So if the meanings are the same and if one formulation is more elegant than the other. Then we know who to choose : Srila Prabhupāda Therefore there is no reason to replace it and there are all reasons to keep it. Gentleman editors Srila Prabhupāda just reflects your foolishness and is much smarted that you give Him credit for. In these ways these unqualified editors are constantly lowering the literary value of Srila Prabhupada
