“…It is with great honour and privilege that I present this special copy of the Bhagavad Gita , which has been duly blessed at the headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in Mayapur, India,” explained Nila Madhava das. “We humbly pray that the Bhagavad Gita is utilised in the House of Commons by Hindu Members of Parliament and alike perpetually”.
