1. A widely discussed and accepted editorial policy shall be adopted by the BBT . This editorial policy shall be encased in the new bylaws of the BBT.

2. The books originally edited and published under the authority of Srila Prabhupada are to be considered free of defect or mistake by those who would consider themselves to be disciples. Srila Prabhupada instructed likewise in reference to seeing "mistakes" in his spiritual masters books. He called this spiritual principle "ashraya prayoga" or seeing a mistake in what the spiritual master has given as his legacy, as disrespectful and a faulty mentality. Only his editors, directly authorized by him to correct any errors, could do so, and that too only for the duration of that service to him understood to be until the editions were approved by Him. No modifications, corrections or explanations can be made to an Acharya's books once he has approved Them. This fact is more applicable now that he has left our physical presence.

3. Exempt shall be those errors specifically identified by Srila Prabhupada to be changed in the next edition. The first editions containing these errors shall be corrected. The overall principle shall be to follow Srila Prabhupada's instruction "to print the books in the original way", i.e. first editions + changes asked for by recorded instruction of Srila Prabhupada.

4. As for the argument of the current editors that there are many genuine grammatical or factual errors (introduced by Srila Prabhupada’s transcribers or editors and not by Srila Prabhupada himself), those few specific errors can be considered:

      a. to be printed in an errata separately from the books; or

      b. to be published on its website; or

      c. as footnotes: where the correct spelling or word could be written as a footnote.

5. Current BBT editors have used these few errors to make a case for wholesale unnecessary changes to Srila Prabhupada’s books. These changes range from philosophical to the original writing style which are thoroughly unnecessary. This faulty editorial policy shall be condemned in strongest terms and historically recorded for educating the future generations.
