I share most of the sentiments that you have described in your column. If people could just get over the fact that Hinduism is not the cause for most of the misgivings (that have been wrongly attributed to it), we will realize that it has so much more to offer (I believe this is true for most religions!) and Gita is one such immortal piece. If everyone lived by the Gita-there would be no need to go in search of a "heaven"
