    Has anyone come across similar sentiment? Has anyone read it at home?
    Oh I have never heard this before. I have only read it at home, online version to be exact. Surely this rule doesn't apply for the Bhagavad Gita?

    No, this doesn't apply to Bhagawad Gita, never heard anyone say a similar thing for reading the Gita. I've read Gita at home and did not have any negative consequence out of it - only positive psychological/spiritual effects!

    I think it can be read at home.after all it is 5th veda.only pictures of mahabharat war(or any war for that matter )should not be put up in the house.
    तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया ।
    उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्वदर्शिनः ॥

    उस ज्ञान को तू तत्वदर्शी ज्ञानियों के पास जाकर समझ, उनको भलीभाँति दण्डवत्* प्रणाम करने से, उनकी सेवा करने से और कपट छोड़कर सरलतापूर्वक प्रश्न करने से वे परमात्म तत्व को भलीभाँति जानने वाले ज्ञानी महात्मा तुझे उस तत्वज्ञान का उपदेश करेंगे. श्रीमद्*भगवद्*गीता-4.34
