Protesters belonging to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)-- World Hindu organisation, hold a copy of the of one of Hinduism's most important and scared texts, the Bhagavad Gita during a protest against a court case in Russia seeking to ban the text, outside the Russian consulate in Mumbai on December 21, 2011. The protestors condemned the court case in Russia seeking to ban the "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" -- a translation of and commentary on the original text by Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the international Hare Krishna movement, ISKCON. The case filed by state prosecutors in the Siberian city of Tomsk claims that the the renowned translation of the text, first published in 1968, titled "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" is "extremist literature" and should join Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf on a list of banned books.
