Its better to read and kee both editions . Why to take risk ? It may be or may be not . Instead of entering the controversy , its better to have both the editions and read them both . Personally , I'm more comfortable with the pre 1975 edition .
So its better to have both . Otherwise knowingly or unknowingly we will make offense against the new editors , and that will a great loss to offend the vaishnavas .
The changes are authentic and are justified ...the explanations are given in vedabase 2011.. If you don't have vedabase, you can find them here : http://www.bbt.info/browse/browse
There are some class of people who are deviant from ISKCON who try to spread these rumours. Please do not get carried away.
The BG as it is -- is as per Prabhupada's purports even now..proof : Many people are seeing a positive transformation in their lives and become Krishna conscious by reading Bhagavad Gita As it is even now.
