I suppose that if anyone hasn't found these, then they are a little dim.
Let anyone justify any version of The Bhagavad Gita. The exercise is a little
pointless as we cannot truely identify the correct version. I suspect there exist
Sanskrit 'incorrect' versions so to speak.
As I've said before, let the human beings read ALL the books s/he desires and then
choose the one that is most morally dharmic for them. All that we must do is
ENSURE that none of the so-called VEDIC literature is perverted to become non-dharmic.
Then everyone is happy, even the headstrong vaishnavs.
BTW : Hasn't anyone else wondered why if Krishna or Rama are the true incarnation,
just why the hell didn't they incarnate when the Vedas were being written and put
everything in there? Could it really be that they were human beings? ;-)
