| Petition against banning of Bhagavad Gita in Tomsk, Russia |
|
Petition to help stop the court case against the Bhagavad-gita As It Is Bhagavad-gita As It Is, one of the most respected holy scriptures of the world today, is under the threat of being banned in Russia. The court proceedings will resume in Siberian city Tomsk, Russia, on Monday 19th. The persecutors in Tomsk suggest that the widely distributed book translated and commented upon by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada should be included in the Justice Ministry's list of banned extremist literature. Bhagavad-gita As It Is is translated in more than 80 languages. Over 100 million copies of this book was distributed to date all over the world! Millions of people in the world today consider it as the main book in their life. Please find attached file which conveys what eminent personalities have said about the Bhagavad-gita. The persecutors with great determination and vigor are pushing through this absurd case. During the first three court hearings, the testimony of the Tomsk experts upon which the persecutors built their case for the court was recognized as <inadequate>. However, the Persecutor's office ordered the new testimony. Noteworthy, that the testimony was requested not from the well-known experts of Hinduism from Moscow, but from some unknown experts from Kemerovo State University. This move clearly suggests that the court decision is already predestined. This practice brings to memory the Middle Age Inquisition, Witch hunting, burning of books and the persecution of the dissidents during Soviet period of Russian history. We as Indians should definitely provide our support and raise an objection towards such injustice and prejudice! Please provide your support by signing this online petition.
