Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita

There are certain class of men who are simply philosophizing and there are certain class of men who are simply blindly following religious ritualistic process. So Bhagavad-gītā is combination of both. That is scientific.
Lecture on BG 3.1-5 -- Los Angeles, December 20, 1968:
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "In this verse the Lord explains the same more clearly. Sāṅkhya-yoga or the analytical study of the nature of spirit and matter is the subject for persons who are inclined to speculate and understand things by experimental knowledge and philosophy. The other class of men work in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, as is explained in verse sixty-one of the same Second Chapter. The Lord has explained also in verse thirty-nine that by working under the principles of buddhi-yoga or Kṛṣṇa consciousness one can be relieved from the bondage of action and furthermore there is no flaw in the process. The same principle is more clearly explained in verse sixty-one, that this buddhi-yoga is to depend entirely on the Supreme or more specifically, on Kṛṣṇa, and in this way all the senses can be brought under control very easily. Therefore both the yogas are interdependent, as religion and philosophy. Religion without philosophy is sentiment or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation. The ultimate goal is Kṛṣṇa."

Prabhupāda: There are certain class of men who are simply philosophizing and there are certain class of men who are simply blindly following religious ritualistic process. So Bhagavad-gītā is combination of both. That is scientific. You should be religious, but should understand everything philosophically. Otherwise one becomes fanatic, religious fanatic. In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta it is clearly said that caitanyera dayāra kathā karaha vicāra. You people, you try to understand the gifts of Caitanya Mahāprabhu by your philosophical understanding. Not blindly, philosophically. And vicāra karile citte pāibe camatkāra. If you are actually a wise man, then you'll find it is sublime. And if you simply stick to your own religious ritualistic principles, don't try to understand the philosophy of everything, then you become a fanatic. So we should not become religious fanatics, nor dry mental speculators. Both these classes of men are dangerous. They cannot make any advance. The combination. You should be religious, but try to understand each and every line philosophically.

bhagvad gita as it is by srila prabhupada should not be banned under any circumstances as this will be a big loss to manking in Russia as well as else where in the world.

it gives us good knowledge.

Bhagavad-gita by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the best book I ever read, it changed my heart and made me closer to understanding of God.

Please stop this band. In 2011 it's unbelievable.

Plz world! don't ban Gita in Rasia.

stop that..

From one angle the worlds first communist is Bhagvan sri Krishna who reminds the world to consider every human being and every gods creation equal as the same divine power dwells in everything created. Communism says to consider everyone equal because the color of blood in everyone is the same. Analysing these two things who is the worlds first communist. It is Bhagavan Sri Krishna.Hence banning Bhagavad gita is like banning communism in Russia.Let the Russians contemplate over this.

Pls don't ban Bhagvat Gita for the welfare of future generation .Pls..

Gita has far better spiritual guidance than any other religious script on this planet. Banning gita is a shame.

Its a spiritual book and spirituality does not belongs to any nation, caste or creed

The Bhagawat Gita is one of the best scripture of the world. The Bhagawat Gita shows the way towards god. It teaches people how to live life peacefully.
