Joining the other Hindu groups, Shri Ram Sena has also welcomed the Russian Court's decision to reject the proposed ban on Holy Hindu book, Bhagavad Gita.

SHRI RAM Sena Jammu-Kashmir, State President Rajiv Mahajan welcomes the decision of a Tomsk Court rejecting the petition seeking ban on Bhagwat Gita in Russia. The petition was filed by a group of Orthodox Catholics seeking ban on literature on the grounds that the literature promotes social discord towards non-believers.

A Tomsk Court on Thursday, in its judgement said that the Russian translated version of Bhagavad Gita by some top functionaries of Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON) in Russia is not correct. "Court is not taking with the core Hindu scripture itself, but rather with author’s commentary and poor translation in Bhagwat Gita, as it is."

"I would like to emphasise that this is not about Bhagavad Gita, a religious philosophical poem, which forms part of the great Indian epic ‘Mahabharata’ and one of the most famous pieces of the ancient Hindu literature," the judge observed and dismissed the petition.
