The news has gone in media all over the world.

Now, we are working on a song about the protest:

Please Don’t Ban the Gita
(Protest Song)
Intro

The Bhagavad Gita is the book
that causes all of us to look
within – - -
To read a book is not a crime
Plus this one has words divine
withhin – - -
The song of God is very fine
Song of love and peace divine
within – - -
What you give comes back to you.
This song tells that lesson too 
within – -

Please our Russian Friends
Don’t ban, Don’t ban

About the Gita, Einstein said
God and the universe wed
within – - -
Emerson had his praises too,
said the Gita was as vast as the ocean blue
within – - -
The time will come, the time will pass.
When all of us will have to ask 
within – - -
How on this world, we’ve made our mark.
Did we promote the light or dark
within – - -

Please our Russian Friends
Don’t ban, Don’t ban

When I was just a boy, only 15 years old,
My sister gifted me the Gita – my fortune untold.
I became transformed, a sinner to a saint.
Let the Bhagavad Gita sing, sing without restraint.
Let the Bhagavad Gita sing, sing without restraint.
Let the Bhagavad Gita sing, sing without restraint.
