Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

Krishna made Dharmaja utter the lie " asvatthama hatah, " Asvatthama is

killed, adding in a low tone, " kunjarah, " the elephant. This led to

the death of Dronacharya. Was it proper on the part of Krishna to

make Dharmaja tell a lie like that?

 

This is a foolish question. As the facts are not known to you

correctly, you think like that. Here, there was no mistake on the

part of Krishna and there was no mistake in Dharmaja too. It was

entirely the fault of Drona that was responsible for his death.

Dharmaja said loudly " asvatthama hatah, "

 

Asvatthama died and also said softly " kunjarah, " an elephant by name

Asvatthama died. Dronacharya did not listen completely to what

Dharmaja had said. He heard only the first part " asvatthama hatah, "

 

Aswatthama died. Out of his attachment to his son, Dronacharya died

immediately on hearing the first part of Dharmaja's statement. He

died of the shock. His attachment was the only cause of his death. So

the fault finally lies with Dronacharya, not hearing patiently and

completely what Dharmaja said. How do you accept that Dronacharya,

who loved Arjuna more than his own son, could be prepared to fight

and kill Arjuna? Being a teacher and a Brahmana for that matter,

should he fight like that? So, the mistake was Drona's only.
