About the Original Edition

This ZIM contains Prabhupada's books exactly as he wrote and approved them — the Macmillan 1972 Bhagavad-gita and original BBT editions, before any posthumous revisions were made.

All texts include full Sanskrit diacritics (Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavad-gītā, Vṛndāvana) and proper italics for book titles and Sanskrit terms, faithful to the original printed editions.
