Russian Court Rejects 2nd Narrower Attempt To Ban Bhagavad Gita Commentary

According to The Hindu, earlier this week a Russian court for a second time rejected attempts by prosecutors to ban the Russian translation of the book, Bhagavad Gita As It Is.  As previously reported, in December a court in Tomsk dismissed an attempt to classify the book as extremist literature. Following that, the prosecutor changed the petition to seek a ban not the text of the Bhagavad Gita but only on the Russian translation of the comments to it written by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.  However the court also rejected this attempt.
