Although a scripture related to Hinduism, scholars have studied the Gita in relation to different pursuits of inquiry from various theoretical perspectives. In this regard, this study intends to explore the verses in the Gita from deconstructive perspective and identify the occurrence of differance in it. For this I have introduced deconstruction and differance, and reviewed some studies guided by deconstructive reading. Although the Gita has been studied in relation to other disciplines like education, psychology, politics, environment and interspirituality, I have found no study until now guided by deconstructive reading. So I have employed deconstructive reading of the Gita as a method of textual analysis to identify differance as its theme and relate it to deconstruction. Thus I have explored the verses in the Gita grounded on deconstructive reading and concluded that the Gita contains differance as its verses designate contradictory and multiple meanings allowing their free play in the text. As this study has established the interrelation between the Gita and deconstruction, this paper justifies the significance of the Gita in the present-day postmodern context. This suggests the potentials of the Gita for the study of postmodern spirituality.
