Bhagavad Gita could easily be misinterpreted

I respect the writer’s views in “Why Modi’s yoga push is agenda-driven” (June 27), and wish to express mine.

The Bhagavad Gita uses yoga as a term to mean “path” to achieve our goals, and “moksha” (or oneness with God) is one of them. Man has other goals such as wealth and pleasure, and the Bhagavad Gita guides one to acquire these ethically.

Most importantly, the Bhagavad Gita does not differentiate between men on the basis of religion and is a text that must be read with a teacher who is proficient in it, otherwise it is easily misinterpreted.
