Bhagvad Gita ban - case dismissed in Russia. Missonaries attempt failed.
A Russian court today dismissed a petition seeking a ban on a translated version of Bhagvad Gita for being "extremist", bringing cheers to followers across the world.
"The court in the Siberian city of Tomsk has dismissed the plea," Sadhu Priya Das of Moscow ISKCON said soon after the verdict was announced.
State prosecutors in the Siberian city of Tomsk had filed an appeal against a lower court's dismissal of their original plea seeking a ban on Bhagavad Gita As It Is, written by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
"We are grateful to the Russian judicial system," Mr Das said.
When the petition was dismissed by the lower court in Tomsk on December 28 last year, India had welcomed the verdict as a "sensible resolution of a sensitive issue".
Bhagavad Gita was first published in Russia in 1788 and since then it has been republished many times in various translations.
