Description
Posthumous Editing of a Great Master's Work: Special Focus on the Writings of A.
C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada examines how a leading figure's hallowed written and published works, which remain so important to the religious community, should be editorially treated following the leader's departure from this world.
The volume addresses the theological, ethical, social, and legal implications of posthumous editing—and even improving—a great master's works.
This book focuses on the extensive posthumous editing of the works of A.
C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the original world-teacher of Krishna bhakti of the twentieth century.
After Swami Prabhupada departed from this world, some of his disciples, without the expressed approval of the author, attempted to improve on his authorized published work, which resulted in the publication of a continuing series of inauthentic altered editions.
This extreme editing of Swami Prabhupada's works precipitated the scholarly research and inquiry into the posthumous editing of a great master's work that forms the basis of this book.
