Gita: US-based Hindu leader hails court's ruling

Chicago, Dec 30 (CMC): Hailing the Russian court's decision to reject imposing a ban on translated version of Baghavad Gita, a US-based Hindu leader on Friday termed the verdict as "right" and "sensible". 
Zed argued that attempt at banning the sacred book was apparently an attack on religious freedom and belittling of the entire community. 
He stressed that this "philosophical and intensely spiritual poem, often considered the epitome of Hinduism, was highly revered by Hindus." 
"Besides being the cornerstone of Hindu faith, Bhagavad Gita was also one of the masterpieces of Sanskrit poetry and a world treasure and had been commented by hundreds of authors and translated into all major languages of the world," the Hindu leader added. 
A group linked to the Christian Orthodox Church in Siberia has described the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita as 'extremist'.
