Sign the Petition – Save Srila Prabhupada’s Books

Devotees are waking up.

For decades, silent changes have been made to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books!

BBT International has tried to justify the post-1977 changes by saying things like:

  • “We are restoring the books to Prabhupāda’s original manuscript.”
  • “We are making them closer to Prabhupāda.”
  • “We are only fixing grammar, commas, and capitalization.”
  • “We are simply correcting earlier editorial mistakes.”
  • “No unnecessary changes have been made.”

But when you actually examine the evidence, those claims don’t hold up. The documented changes show that BBT International has:

  • Deleted Srila Prabhupāda’s own chosen words, lines, and philosophical emphasis—even when those same lines do appear in the so-called “original manuscript.”
  • Added new words and sentences of their own, which, by definition, have no manuscript support and were never spoken, typed, or approved by Srila Prabhupāda.
  • Replaced Prabhupāda’s personal Sanskrit translations with reinterpretations that subtly change meaning and mood.
  • Introduced needless stylistic rewrites and sentence restructuring that sanitize his voice, shift tone, and move the books closer to a modern editorial product—and further away from the Founder-Ācārya.

No previous ācārya’s books were treated like this after their departure.
No tradition in the paramparā legitimizes post-samādhi revisions.
And no devotee can ignore this once they actually see the changes.

If Prabhupāda’s original words are sacred, then why are they being rewritten?

👉 If you care about preserving what Srila Prabhupāda actually gave us, add your name:

Sign the petition to protect the original books.

A movement that cannot preserve its founder’s words cannot preserve its future.
Make your voice count before someone else speaks for you.
