A footnote is needed here about the variance in sequence of these ten offences (*the original list comesfrom the Padma Pura) when compared to the list in the book Harinama Cintmai, for the benefit offollowers and devotees of His Divine Grace r rmad A. C. Bhaktivednta Swm Prabhupda:

In all our Iskcon temples and homes, we recite the ten offences daily just before we begin our japameditation. However we find that the sequence in this book differs a little from what we recite (whichis extracted from our rla Prabhupdas Nectar of Devotion Ch. 8, 3rdparagraph ). This is due towhat could be called a tiny historical error, (though I hate to use that word in relation to a puredevotee as it sounds offensive, yet some explanation is needed here). Somehow or other, what we

(For the list of 10 Offences as we recite them daily in our temples,please seehttp://www.tenoffences.on.to/)

rec te as o ence o. .. mag nat on.. o. ..mun ane nterpretat on n our temp es are

merged in No. 5 in this book. That is why at the end, we always recite additionally, It is also anoffence to chant inattentively. In conclusion, both versions are non-different when taken in theirentirety and in the pure consciousness of both our rla Prabhupda and rla Bhaktivinoda hkur,who only desired the greatest good for all mankind. Furthermore, rla Rpa Goswm has taught us inhis Nectar of Devotion, that even if we see differences in teachings between various bonafide Vaiava

cryas, we should note that differences are there only in the details but never in the principles ofwhatever is involved. Jaya Srila Rpa Goswm Prabhupda ki.. JAYA! rla Bhaktivinod hkurMahrja ki JAYA! rla Prabhupda Patita-pvana ki JAYA! rla rpda Mahrja Gurudeva ki
