Authentic Gita transmission requires following established ācāryas, rejecting impersonalism, and offering devotional experience—not speculative interpretations.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Brahmānanda: [discussing the Gītā Pratiṣṭhāna conference being held there]...they offered him respects. This Bajaj, he was speaking something to him, offering him some respect. He was sitting in the front. This morning they just had their organizational meeting, and they've asked one of our representatives to come and speak about our activities.
So Akṣayānanda Swami will speak, and he will speak in Hindi. One of the things they mentioned... 'Cause I was saying this morning that we're having difficulty also getting the younger people to join, so they thought that one reason was that our men are not able to speak the Indian languages. These people are also very attached to Indian language. They're pro–Indian language.
So if he speaks in Hindi, that will be interesting to see [indistinct]. Prabhupāda: He is Māyāvādī, Akhanda? What is? Akhandananda?
Brahmānanda: I didn't see... You remember you went to that Kurukṣetra meeting? Prabhupāda: Yes.
Brahmānanda: About two years ago? Mainly the same people are here also that were there at that meeting. Then this Swami Chinmayananda [indistinct]. Prabhupāda: He has not come. Brahmānanda: No. They were just talking about him. Prabhupāda: Don't bother to come here, then. Brahmānanda: No.
But they treated you with much respect, though. They said that they had wanted Your Divine Grace to come, because you are also a member of their steering committee. [indistinct] representative. They also had a proposal to produce a series of different books, small books, pamphlets, forty, fifty pages, comprising selections from the Bhagavad-gītā.
And these would be for specific types of persons. The books would be Bhagavad-gītā for students, Bhagavad-gītā for businessmen, Bhagavad-gītā for scientists, like that. So they want us to produce the book for the scientists, taking various quotes from Bhagavad-gītā with a short explanation of the verse. So I said one problem is that all these different groups who are assembled here will all have different interpretations of the verses.
