Bhagavad Gita lays stress on equality, says writer

Writer C. Radhakrishnan said here on Monday (July 14) that the Bhagavad Gita encompasses the virtues of equality and echoes the message to reject power.

He was speaking after inaugurating the Bhagavad Gita Vidhyalayam launched as part of the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Travancore Devaswom Board at a function held in Aluva.

He said that some were using the Bhagavad Gita as a means to acquire power. “The Bhagavad Gita Vidhayalaya will help in enlightening the youth about the values of our culture,” he was quoted as saying in a release.

He released the book Bhagavad Gita Bhashyam - Sowparnikamritham by handing over a copy to poet V. Madhusoodanan Nair on the occasion, it said.
