US General George Patton acknowledged that he intuited that he had lived past lives as a warrior . . .

 

So as intimates of the Vedic schools --how shall we bring education to new cadettes, and also, to retired Generals who should be seeking solace, repose, and reconciliation?

 

What would be the curriculum for a 'Finishing School' for Military Generals, CEOs, CFOs, MBAs, MDs, & Phds?

 

Let us compile a prelimanary prerequisite working list of topic to teach/preach/inform/update our Ksatriya stewards.

 

For example:

 

You know a retired 4-Star Brigadier Military General, or, Admiral and if you had the invitation to lecture this General or Admiral --what topics would you deem neccessary?

 

Remember: "Let us know the facts, then search to understand the cause" --Aristotle.

 

Remember: What would Chanyaka advise?

A primary Lesson:

There is a system in the varnashrama institution [as per the Vedas] by which before death one has to undergo the process of atonement for his sinful activities.

 

One who is always engaged in sinful activities must utilize the process of atonement called the "prayascitta".

 

Without doing so, one surely will be transferred to hellish planets to undergo miserable lives as the result of sinful activities.

A primary Lesson:

[Krishna says himself, in the Gita]:

 

"Happy are the Warrior-Class (and/or Civil Administrative workers) to whom such fighting [tests of excellence] opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets."

A primary Lesson from the Bhagavad-Gita:

 

"Happy are the kshatriyas** to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets."

 

[**the societal warrior/protective class of Worker; ie: Police, Fireman, Civil-service etc]

 

Krishna condemns the attitude of Arjuna, who said, “I do not find any good in this fighting. It will cause perpetual habitation in hell.”

 

He wanted to become nonviolent in the discharge of his specific duty. For a kshatriya to be on the battlefield and to become nonviolent is the philosophy of fools.

 

Arjuna had no reason to refrain from fighting.

 

If he should conquer his enemies, he would enjoy the kingdom;

and if he should die in the battle, he would be elevated to the heavenly planets, whose doors were wide open to him.

 

Fighting would be for his benefit in either case.

 

In the Parashara-smriti, or religious codes made by Parashara, the great sage and father of Vyasadeva, it is stated:

 

“The kshatriya’s duty is to protect the citizens from all kinds of difficulties, and for that reason he has to apply violence in suitable cases for law and order. Therefore he has to conquer the soldiers of inimical kings, and thus, with religious principles, he should rule over the world.”
