Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita

In Tomsk, December 19, the trial began on the recognition of the book "Bhagavad-Gita, as it is" extremist. This book is a major doctrinal document for such organizations as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Naturally, all sorts of opponents of Article 282 of the Criminal Code, as well as the guardians of "freedom of speech and religion," as well as lovers of Krishna began to actively resent another "obscurantism" of our "bloody gebni." How onaya "gebnya" prejudice, crushes and represses the poor skinhead boys and girls, wrapped in orange sheets (sari and dhotti).
The network has been many publications on the topic of good and bad Krishna Tomsk court. I've managed to participate in this kind of network controversy. He answered it more briefly and references, but I feel it is necessary to give a detailed comment on all disputed points. All the more so as this article, 282-I, is ambiguous, it requires a lot of people cancel, and the organization itself ISKCON lately on hearing, and the citizens probably forgotten what it is. And the very question of the "Bhagavad-Gita As It Is" requires separate consideration. Judge is not an organization, but a book. So far.
So, let us point by point.
1. Some facts about the history and activities of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
According to the handbook "Religions and sects in modern Russia» (http://www.ansobor.ru/articles.php?id=44) ISKCON, as it is born in the USA, New York, 1966-1967 . Agree, not very similar to traditional Hinduism, Hare Krishnas, although you will tell the story of their sect begins with the so-century XV, and not in the U.S. and in India. But here you might wonder how fast the Indian guru pereosvyaschayut their temples after a visit to these temples are a group of European, Russian or American Hare Krishnas. Learn how to say, many new and interesting.
I must say that according to the same directory, ISKCON almost since its inception has acted on a large scale and ... peculiar, for a peaceful religious community. Here are some facts: "In 1984. held a trial on the suit of George family against ISKCON followers on charges of certain leaders, and Krishna movement in the deprivation of Robin George of free will, moral damages, defamation of her mother and the actions that hastened the death of her father, ran the verdict in favor of family members, George , in recognition of their reasonable charges. " Or "... in 1986. in New Vrindavan (USA) Adept Krishna local community has been charged with murder. Suspicion also fell on the head of the community Bhaktipadu and his closest associates, who were accused of committing another crime series. At trial, the guilt of some of them had been proved. In March of 1987. Bhaktipada was expelled from ISKCON, which was motivated, among other things, the fact that he and his entourage to act contrary to the beliefs of ISKCON. But despite this, the proceedings continue Bhaktipady published after his official expulsion from the organization. "
Well, or, here's another case: "... at the end of 1996 at 20 years was convicted leader of the community in West Virginia, the" guru successor "Prabhupada for two contract murders."
Here is what one member of ISKCON, though, for the sake of accuracy, I must say that ISKCON leaders immediately expressed the view that the person in the organization never was made with an Orthodox priest:
"... The night before the vernal equinox, March 21, 2000 fan of the Hindu god Krishna killed a Russian Orthodox priest in a remote Siberian village of Tura. The priest - Fr Gregory - November 4, 1997 he was rector of a house of worship in Tura Evenk district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. According to Colonel Ivan Panov, head of Internal Affairs Evenki area, murderer - Roman Gavrilov (born 1973), armed with home-made with an awl, at 3 o'clock knocked at the door of his father Gregory. The priest opened the door, and the killer stabbed him in the heart of an awl and two in the neck. When Gregory's father fell, his head snapped Gavrilov pocket knife, breaking with a knife. Next bigot went along with the head of the murdered priest in the temple room, surrounded by his head around the throne, so that the blood dripping on the floor, formed a circle and then put his head in his father Gregory to the throne. Father Gregory opened the door of the offender, because he was acquainted with him. How to tell the locals, before he helped the restless Hare Krishna gave him warm clothes, and repeatedly fed a lot of time talking to him trying to back down on errors. The murderer was arrested the next morning. During the arrest himself as Roman Gavrilov Harievichem Krishnitsem. In deed the crime of the murderer did not repent. At his first interrogation he admitted that he performed the commandment of God: Krishna appeared to him in a dream and a detailed description of what he should do. "
By the way, if someone is interested in this information, I advise you to find online book "Monkey on a stick" or "monkey on a pole." There are some of the details of the internal aspects of community life ISKCON.
But, of course, that all these arguments correspond to the Hare Krishnas in the spirit that "no one is immune from the fool." That is, psychopaths and other fundamentalists happen in any religious organization, in any denomination. And here let's talk about the doctrinal text ISKCON, that is about the "Bhagavad-gita As It Is." Since the court is now trying to Tomsk, including, to resolve the issue, whether motivated by the content of this book, adherents of this cult is here to conduct.
2. "Bhagavad-Gita As It Is," and what it teaches its followers.
In this case, we will take sektovedcheskuyu examination of the information portal "to the truth." The benefit of it as detailed as possible. Complete with a look at it here: http://www.k-istine.ru/sects/mosk/mosk_bhagavat-gita.htm
We walk through the main points of this examination, so to speak, as a general reference. So, as a raw material used by the "Bhagavad-Gita as it is" / / A.Ch. Srila Prabhupada: Lane. from English. - 3rd edition, revised. - The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust Internation, Inc, 2007. -816 Sec.
The first thing you need to know the untrained reader, is: "The easiest way of understanding the science of the soul - is to take instruction" Bhagavad-Gita, "which told the great spiritual master, Lord Sri Krishna, and not in the least deviate from them" (BG 2 : 29,.. 118) That is, we understand that ISKCON follower, must strictly follow the thesis of this book. In essence, it is the law.
Now, actually, let's see what this book teaches, and how adept ISKCON must "grow spiritually".
Here, for example, that in the "Bhagavad-Gita as it is" encouraged to do with women: "In the same" Manu Samhita "clearly states that women should never be given freedom. This does not mean that they should be turned into slaves, no, they should be treated like children. Children will not give, but that does not mean that the slaves of them do. Current demons ignore these instructions, and state that women should be given equal rights with men. " (BG 16:7 with. 683).
Here, for example, how should a family regular Vaishnava (follower Krishnaism, dedicated): "... to conceive a child who has divine qualities, it is necessary to Vedic ritual garbhadhana-samskara," ie, "the ten purificatory ceremonies ... Sexual relations nepredosuditelny, If their goal - serving Krishna "(BG 16:3, with. 675).
Thus, all children conceived without this ceremony, do not possess divine qualities, and all people, even entering into the legitimate from the standpoint of the state and other religious organizations without the intention of serving Krishna - committed reprehensible sexual relations from the viewpoint of the author conceive of people " like cats and dogs "(BG 16:3, with. 675).
But as Vaishnavas should assess their surrounding community and Hare Krishna, ISKCON is not included in: "There are two types of people dedicated and demons. The Lord chose Arjuna, to tell him this great science, because Arjuna was His predannym.Demonicheskie people are not able to comprehend the hidden meaning of the "Bhagavad Gita". There are many editions of this great book. By one of them wrote comments devotees and others - demons. Comments predannyhperedayut the true contents of the "Bhagavad Gita", while kommentariidemonov false and useless. Arjuna acknowledges Sri Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and commentators "Bhagavad Gita", following the example of Arjuna, to serve this great science with true devotion. Demons also refuse to accept Krishna as He is. Instead, they are stuffed with your comments and insinuations about Krishna interfere with the reader to follow his instructions. This verse Krishna warns us that we need to beware of such commentators. We should try to go the way of teachers belonging to the chain of spiritual masters, which stems from Arjuna, - only a great science, "Srimad Bhagavad-Gita" will bring us good "(BG 4:3, with. 211). Well, that was absolutely clear: "The whole world, excluding only the demons, from time immemorial Krishna recognizes the supreme authority."
And here is how to deal with nekrishnaitami, that is, the demons: "According to the" Bhagavad Gita ", a sadhu (saint) - a person with Krishna consciousness. Someone who fully possesses the Krishna consciousness should be regarded as a sadhu, even if it does not seem very devout. A word duskrtam refers to those who neglect Krishna consciousness. Even if such a wicked are educated, they are all fools and ravnoostayutsya lowest of people, then as a man, absorbed in the activities in Krishna consciousness is a sadhu, although it may not be of high education and culture. As for atheists, then, to destroy them, the Supreme Lord, there is no need to come himself, as was the case with the demon Ravana and Kamsa. He has a lot of helpers, it is able to cope with this problem "(BG 4:8, with. 219).
Well, actually, "cherry on the cake» (http://www.ansobor.ru/articles.php?id=44) the idea that you can in the name of Hare Krishna Krishna: "Any person acting in Krsna consciousness ... even killing, not committing murder ... as it does not address the consequences of such an act "(Gl.18-17).
Now let's summarize. According to this expert evaluation on the "Bhagavad-Gita as it is" turns out that the people - this is only the Hare Krishnas. All the rest - is subhuman. And for perhaps subhuman any action if it is committed in the name of Krishna. Moreover, such actions are regarded as "Krishna assistance" to remove demons.
In general, let's see what other interesting finds Tomsk forensic examination. In the meantime, you can say from the above data that the illegal actions of ISKCON, inciting strife between various social groups attached doctrinally. And the behavior of some followers of this cult is not some kind of deviation, this behavior is directly caused by the provisions set forth in their main doctrinal book. And follow the provisions of this book, as noted above - was erected in an absolute priority.
