Satyanarayana dasa: Dr. Khalifa Yaseen Bin Aradi, Director of Arabic & Islamic Studies at the University of Bahrain (located just 24 km. from the border of Saudi Arabia) receives a personal copy of the Arabic Bhagavad Gita As It Is from Sridhari Madhava Prabhu of the local ISKCON branch.
The professor was so thankful and impressed to receive the Gita As It Is in Arabic that he personally took our Prabhu across campus to see Mr. Hedi Talbi, Director Of Library & Information Services at the University. Dr. Khalifa Yaseen Bin Aradi was prepared to insist that the university library take a full set of the Arabic books… …
He didn’t have to insist. As the royal succession of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s monarchy appeared to look over the historical scene from their photos on the wall, the library director happily accepted the Arabic Gita and the three small Arabic books for immediate addition to the Library’s general collection, for access by the entire student population…
Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!
