I noticed that even the Preface was re-written in the Teaching of Lord Chaitanya. I guess its not what Srila Prabhupada writes or speaks but what He meant to write. The part about Junior Haridas and how Lord Chaitanya was strict like a thunderbolt with those in the renounced order of life but soft as a rose to householders was almost taken out of the newer version of TLC. Srimad Bhagavatam dasa (10-09-01) Maybe they were trying to make the Introduction shortened to two pages like
something that happened to Bhagavad-gita AS IT IS when it was shortend down
to a couple of chapters or something almost as bad. Srila Prabhupada isn't
here to tell me how to make the TLC, I know he liked the 1972 version so I
just present it without adding or taking anything away. Its in paper back
$15 at www.krsna.tv eventually I would like to make a hard bound. Maybe I'm
supposed to have Jaya Adwaita re write this email so that its not what I
wrote but what I meant to write.
