Oh refers to! In other words it's an interpretation, not an actual direct translation. I have and read few different variants of Gita, none of them ever mentions any thing remotely as impersonal brahmajyoti.
You may be impressed by those scholars and their endorsement of your guru, that is no evidence that translation is correct.
In fact I be happy if you said the author arrived at that conclusion, as far as I can see in the Sabda kosh (dictionary) there no such word as impersonal brahmajyoti = Brahmano.
There is a tendency in all the sects to stretch the meaning to suit the doctrine, they all do it, don't be surprised if not everyone shares your sentiments.
What is your authority on the gita?
Hare Krishna.
I think its a cheek of you to ask what is my authority, if you must know it is my own family tradition and ultimately Bhagvan.
I don't see lord Krishna mentions anything about brahmajyoti let alone impersonal, unless off course he did not have this vocabulary and left it with us poor souls to work out the correct meaning.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
