more books. As a part of Book Marathon, devotees presented Srila
Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is to the Honorable Chief Minister of
Karnataka, Sri Sadananada Gowda on Wednesday, 21 December 2011 during
the Legislature Assembly Meeting of BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party). The

Bhagavad-gita in Russia, they also elicited the assembly’s support in
protesting against the ban which was very much welcomed and appreciated
by everyone. All the dignitaries were presented a copy of Srila
