Conversation between Krishna and Arjuna

Episode#47

Krishna replied "Have you forgotten that they abused your wife's modesty in the Royal court and also encroached upon your kingdom? You have to fight for justice; it is your duty as a Kshatriya" He continued "And where does this nobility come from? Is it generosity or fear; wisdom or ignorance or just cowardice?"

Arjuna replied "Oh Vasudev Krishna how can my devotion to my guru be termed as cowardice? How can you deem my devotion to my grand uncle Bhisma Pitamah as an illusion? I can hear the cries of widows and children and my ears cannot bear those sound of wailing and weeping women! My heart tells me there is no need of this war, how can you designate me as a coward? I don't want to fight a war in which I no longer believe! Please try to understand me Vasudev Krishna."

Krishna replied "Arjuna, you will bring shame to all the warriors by refusing to do your rightful duties as a Kshatriya. There is nothing greater for a Kshatriya than to wage the war for righteousness, even the high-heavens wait for the brave Kshatriya who dies on the battlefields."

"Duryodhana has never followed the path of righteousness, all his actions are guilt and fear ridden from the sins he has committed in unison with Sakuni, Dusshasana and Karna like trying to burn you all in the House of Wax, by outrageously humiliating Draupadi modesty, cheating in the dice game - these are such sins have not been committed by Pandavas any time.

His actions originated from fear and jealousy; he rejects those who threaten him. The purpose of the war is not for you, Arjuna, but for the world at large to adopt civilized human conduct. The point is not to win or lose the war, the point is not to kill enemies and acquire their lands, this war is to establish righteousness and in doing so discover the soul. That is why I am here on Earth as your charioteer; to guide you to the path of righteousness to remind all the humans of moral values and milk human kindness (compassion) which can lead them towards righteousness!

This attempt will not be in vain if one is able to discern the intellectual path that leads to the soul, away from the ego! Every time man feels lost and confused and succumbs to his ego, he created a spate of ill doings and misgivings that are not befitting to the human race! I come to this Earth to set things right. This has happened before and shall continue to happen again! This is the sole mission of my different incarnation."

To be continued...

Mahabharata war - Day 15 Fall of Acharya Drona.

Episode#69 On the fifteenth day, the war did not cease even after the sunset but continued as mentioned before in Torchlight. The Kurukshetra field presented strange sight with burning torches - the generals and soldiers on both the sides we're engaged in battle, thousands of torches burnt and were used as signals, devised for night time. Ghatotkacha and his troops of demons (who are stronger at night) found darkness an additional advantage and violently attacked Duryodhana army. Duryodhana heart sank when he saw thousands of his men destroyed by Ghatotkacha and his demon army moving in the air and attacking in strange and unexpected ways. The warriors begged to Karna "Kill this fellow at once, Karna, for otherwise, soon our whole army will cease to be. Finish him without delay!" Karna himself was angry and bewildered, having been wounded by one of the Asura arrows. He had with him the spear which Indra had bestowed to him, but as warned, it could be used only once, and...

Gandhari: My son Duryodhana was invincible...!

Episode#81 Gandhari says "I do not envy the victory of Pandavas and ibagree that my intense grief has robbed me of my understanding! These Pandavas also are my sons. I know that Dusshasana and Sakuni brought about this destruction and that Arjuna and Bhima are not to be blamed! My sons deserve the fate they have met - only because of their flase pride and vanity I do not complain about it. But in Vasudev Krishna presence,  Bhima challenge Duryodhana to battle and knowing that Duryodhana was stronger and could not br defeat in a single combat, Bhima struck him below the naval and killed him! Vasudev Krishna continued to be an indifferent onlooker! This was against righteousness and it is this that I find it impossible to forgive." Bhima, who heard this, came near and said "Mother, I did this in self-defence, whether is was right or wrong, you should bear with me. Your son was invincible in combat a d I had to resort to self-defence what was undoubtedly wrong,  but then ...

Mahabharata war - Day 14 Fall of Jayadratha

Episode#68 News of Arjuna's oath reached the enemy. The spies informed Duryodhana that Arjuna, having learnt that Jayadratha was the cause of Abhimanyu death, had vowed to kill Jayadratha before sunset the next day. Vriddhakshatra, the illustrious King of Sindhi's was blessed with a son Jayadratha. During his breath, a voice was heard to say: "This prince will attain great glory in the happy regions above after being slain in the battle. One who, among the warriors of all ages, ranks among the most illustrious, will in the field of battle shall get his head severed from the body." All living beings must die but truth is always bitter! Vriddhakshatra was grieved to hear the voice declare his son's end. In his disturbed state of mind, he uttered a curse "He, who shall cause my son's head roll down on the ground, his head shall be burst at that very moment into fragments." When Jayadratha grew up to his manhood, Vriddhakshatra handed over the state ...
