It's a typo, 2 is close to 3 on the keyboard, but Gita is not that
difficult to search through.

:))) Of course your sweet little Prabhupada didn't translate upanisads
and Sankaracarya's comments, so you really wouldn't know anything
about amrtabindupanisad and vivekacudamani? How bad. ;) At least he
didn't corrupt them. I would really like to see him try to translate
advayatarakopanisad or yogakundaliniupanisad, or yogacudamaniupanisad.
It would really be funny to watch him find Krsna there, too, when they
speak about brahman. ;) His attempt to translate isopanisad was very
"original". :)

If that's the biggest thing you could find to argue with my point,
then I hope that you enjoy defeat.

Bwahahahaa... That must be Prabhupada's "translation". :) Of course
you have problems with understanding. All other translations that I've
now read to double-check myself are in alignment with my translation,
so I don't see why I should be concerned with Prabhupada's ignorance.

You ask Prabhupada about Kundalini? He was not even
Kundalini-awakened, and neither was his guru. Caitanya was, however,
and so were his direct disciples. They were displaying kriyas and
other symptoms of awakening (you would call those symptoms of bhakti).
