Is Bhagwat Geeta an instigator of violence, disputes and social unrest in society. Hindus may read some deeper meaning in the holy book.
But others may consider this just as a story of fight over land between cousins, namely Pandava and kaurava. Oterwise peaceful citizens may be instigated by this book to settle their differences on land and other private maters through violence. This is what a section in Siberia (Russian territory) feels. So, a ban on this book is being considered.
any comments?

[quote]Let us be sensible. If what ever happens is good and whatever would happen must be good, why we should talk and plan anything. We must ignore all such senseless Geeta saar.
Gulshanji explain in some details.Do you want to say that we should not follow Geeta?[/quote]
We may follow Geetha but with an open mind. I feel that the 'Geeta saar' printed by so many commercial concerns is not real. What sense it makes to say that whatever happens is good and whatever will happen is good. If nothing bad ever happened, and will never happen, there is no issue to struggle or fight. Just see the "Geetha Saar' in this link and you may conclude.
The Geetha saar says'
whatever you got you got from here. What you lost and why you weep. "
What sense this makes. If so, why were pandavas quarreling with kaurava. They had also not brought anything and what they were to lose.
The real Geetha differs from the fake 'Geetha saar' used by politicians and commercial concerns.
OK Gulshanji .thanks for your kindness.Now I can undrestand what do you want to say.Is there any rule or laws to protect this type of missuse?
Public interest litigation is the only way. we need to spend time or money for that. The best thing is not to bother about such messages.
A few years back, I had sent a legal notice to a tobacco manufacturer for misusing 'Tulsi' and 'Tulsidas' a great saint and author of Ram Charit Manas. They gave some reply. But it is not feasible to litigate against them. They are influential. The best we can do is to either ignore them or tell our friends and colleagues not to get carried away by such people.
