My dear Satsvarupa, ¶
Please accept my blessings. I hope that everything is going on well there with the production of Bhagavad-gita. In this regards please make the following addition to the text: ¶
Chapter IX, The Most Confidential Knowledge, in the purport of the 34th verse you will read “Krishna is not an ordinary human being; He is the Absolute Truth, His Body, Mind and He Himself are One and Absolute”. Immediately therefore you can add the following: In the Kurma Purana, as it is quoted by Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami in his Anubhasya comments of Caitanya Caritamrta, 5th chapter Ādi lila, verses 41-48, “deha dehi bibhedo ‘yang nesvare vidyate kvacit” which means that there is no difference in Krishna, the Supreme Lord, between Himself and His body. ¶
This evidence is given here to show that there is no distinction between Krishna’s body and Himself since such commentators as Dr. Radhakrishnan make such distinction. ¶
Hoping this will meet you in good health. ¶
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ¶
