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."

Mahabharata: Moral of the story

Episode #98 The End This is the last episode of my book Mahabharata Janani Janmabhoomi. Mahabharata is the history of kings and sages, essence of all sacred texts, beautiful in language, with subtle meanings and logic. It is a great storehouse of knowledge adorned with beautiful words and rhyme. With the evolution of the universe, evolved the inexhaustible seeds of all it's inhabitants, movable and immovable, earth, water, wind, years, seasons, all came into existence.  The epic covers a time period of about one thousand years, roughly 800CE to 400AD. It is the longest epic written till date. It is the handicraft of multiple authors. It traverses a time span of one thousand years and not a single day or year. In olden days, who spoke Sanskrit were called Aryas and who did not are Mlecchas. But today's context Aryas stands for ethnicity.  Mahabharata is classified into eighteen Parvas (section) each Parvas has many Adhyas (chapters). Each Adhyas has number of couplets or shloka...

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...
