Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Dear tw, I agree with you tw... I have had quite some experience, since long...during the early days...the proof-reading and sometimes even proper editing had been very difficult to decipher,especially when I was at the early stages of learning K.P., particularly the Magazines, then known as Astrology & Adrishta...contained articles which were at times written in difficult-to-decipher language,by some authors,but we used the "reference-to-context" method,reading between the lines etc., to truly understand the message...Fortunately,these days,comparatively,the editing is much much better than in those days...although, proof reading as you know,is a specialised art by itself... The best proof-readers are supposed to be available in Govt. Presses and with reputed Indian & Foreign Publishers & Printers...even they sometime let errors creep in...inadvertently...! I guess keeping this in mind,and the general decline in the standards of the English Language( "an alien" language, to boot..."), the K.P. readers are O.K. The problem in India,it seems,is because the 'learnig of English is in a vernacular school,the 'thinking' is done in the vernacular,and it is translated into English verbatim,mentally as it is written/spoken...I have observed certain pecularities that invariably occur with the English spoken & written by Maharashtrians who think in Marathi,Andhraites who think in Telugu,Tamilians who think in Tamil,the Bengalis who think in Bengali...and so on...hence the grammar is vernacular and the language is English,more often than not, leading to this kind of mis-match...! ?

May be the same with other Readers of old and new Edt because who knows or dares or has the authority to change Guruji KSK's original findings or theories. In my personal opinion, the real theories and methods can be learned only from those originals with some errors and disctrepencies which were written over a span of time while doing research as mentioned by Punit ji.
