Why you are taking advantage of my book and misleading others?

Why should you interpret my intention with your intention?

Srila Prabhupāda: “Oh, yes. You have no right. Suppose I have written one book. So I have got some intention. So why should you interpret my intention with your intention? What right you have got? You have no right. If you want to speak something of yours, then you write another book. Why you are taking advantage of my book and misleading others?
I want to speak to the public something, I have expressed my opinion in that way. But because it is popular, you are taking advantage of my book and expressing your views. How much cheating, how much cheater you are! Therefore he is suffering, Dr. Radhakrishnan. He has lost his brain. We went to see him, Dr. Radhakrishnan, when I was in Madras.”

“You can tell them if they change one word from my books it will spoil everything I have done” (Srila Prabhupada, Vrindaban, India, June 22, 1977 to ynd)

Change means rascal

“Change means rascal….Anything change means it is the domain of rascals, pandemonium”. (Srila Prabhupada, morning walk, Delhi 14/12/75)

Religion means the word of God. And if yearly or quarterly you change the words, that is not religion. That is not religion. That is mental concoction. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. No change. Others, they are interpreting in their own way. That is not Bhagavad-gita. That is something else. (to devotee:) Keep it there. He will take. In the words of God there is no question of changing. You cannot change. As soon as you make a change, immediately it is material; it has nothing to do with spiritual world. The same example, the law of government is one, and if you make change, that is not law. Government says “Keep to the right,” you have to keep to the right. You cannot make “Keep to the left,” no. That is nowadays happening-which edition of Christianity? There are so many. Therefore it is, the purport of Christianity is lost.” (Room Conversation 1976)

Do not make addition, alteration.

Results of making additions and alterations.
“Many times they give me very great credit that I have done wonderful. Yes, I have done wonderful. But what is the reason? Because I am not a rascal. I speak what Krsna has spoken. That’s all. Very easy. Everyone can do that. Not only I. Any of you, you can do this. Simply speak what is…, what Krsna has said. That’s all. Don’t make addition, alteration. Then you become rascal. Immediately you become rascal.
(Srimad-Bhagavatam Lecture 1.5.29 Vrndavana, August 10, 1974)

Prabhupada on Editing Bhaktsiddhanta — Don’t

Kīrtanānanda: Why don’t you write some purports to that? (Srila Bhaktsiddhanta´s Sri Brahma Samhita)
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Kīrtanānanda: To Bhaktisiddhānta’s Brahma-samhitā. It would be nice if you would write some purports to it.
Prabhupāda: Purports?
Kīrtanānanda: Yes. Some of us have difficulty understanding Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So if I get time… My time is very limited. So even there is difficulty, let them read over and over and again. Then they will understand. Why should we change it? Let it be presented as Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī has given.
