Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Namashkar In the Gita Krishna goads Arjun into battle even when he doesnt want to. The Anti-war crowd, as well as anti Hindus dont like this. Mahatma Gandhi specifically said this battle that Krishna is only internal, never external. On the other hand Yogis like Aurobindo said that the battle maybe internal, but we shouldnt hesitate to fight external battles when required. Osho also said that Gandhis obsession with non-violence was stupid, & that sometimes external wars were good as they helped remove Tamogun. He said that pure pacifists like Gandhi & Russel are as bad as dictators like Hitler, since both stand on one leg & keep preaching the same thing, while people like Krishna are more real as they make decisions on Dharma, not on dry philosophies. So what is the correct message of Krishna- is the battle he wants us to fight purely internal(like Gandhi says), or can it be an external fight too? What is the message for our century?
