How dangerous is it to try to rearrange the words already approved by the Pure Devotee in His books?
We can only say fools rush in.
Actually they should have their hands cut off.

This is hypothetical... it is not a documented book change, as of yet, but it illustrates what can happen.
How an entirely different meaning can be screwed out by word jugglery.

From the preface to Krishna Book.
Srila Prabhupada has written..
"... there is no meaning to the word Godhead."
You can find this in the preface. He has indeed written that.

However the full sentence reads...
"Outside the principle of all-attraction, there is no meaning to the word Godhead."
"Outside the principle of all-attraction, there is no meaning to the word Godhead."
"Ridiculous!" you say, "That this kind of thing would ever happen."
Perhaps a more careful study of the profound effects of the impersonal interpretations of the writings of Srila Vyasadeva as given by Sankara Acharya would be a good idea.
