Beautiful Discourse of Lord Krishna

[Guest guest]

When Arjuna came to ask Krishna for help before the Mahabarata, Krishna told him and Duryodhana that he would take part in the war, but would not lift a weapon, Many of you do not know that he also said that he would not get down from his chariot at any point of time, Everybody knows what happened afterwards,Durydhan a was overjoyed as he got all the armies with the Weapons etc., Arjuna was overjoyed that Krishna was with him. As the war raged on Bheeshmacharya' s was causing havoc everywhere, The Pandavas army was getting battered and could not do anything. During one particular day, When Bheeshmacharya was at his roaring best trampling everybody and everything on his path,Arjuna told Krishna to take him to where Bheeshma was fighting, When Arjuna got there he was shocked the Scene where Bheeshma had destroyed everything, As Bheeshma and Arjuna Rained arrows , it became Clear that this was the decisive battle of the day, if not of the

war. The Gods in heaven and the Soldiers on the ground stopped to look at this great battle which raged on, Suddenly an arrow struck Arjuna on his left hand, and he fell down from the Chariot, Everybody was shocked, they had never seen Arjuna fall down during any battle, Was this the end of the War? everybody thought, Krishna could not just keep watching,He took of his Armour,Jumped from his Chariot, Took a wheel of a broken Chariot and strode towards Bheeshma, It was like Lord Vishnu with his Sudharshan chakra going forward, Bheeshma got down and started shouting "Kill me Lord, Take my Life, Iwant to die in your hands,what greater happiness can one get, Please kill me?",And as Krishna stopped for second, Arjuna who had come running behind inspite of his shoulder Injury, pleaded with Krishna "Lord: Please you promised that you would not lift a weapon during the battle, If you yourself break your vow, What about others, Please Lord, I pray to

you, Come back.". Krishna turned back without a word. The turning point in the great Mahabarata war was Krishna setting his foot on the Battlefield, not the fall of Bheeshmacharya, Dronacharya or Karna,Krishna never got down from his chariot again on the battlefield, Not even when he preached the Gita, or even when Jayadratha was being killed. When Krishna's foot touched the earth for the only time,It limited the Powers of everyone in the Kauravas army, That was when Vidhura said during his Commentary to the aged Dritharastra "Krishna has got down from the Chariot,It is like Vamana crushing Mahabali, The war is soon to end My Lord". Such is the Power of the Lord.Arjuna' s Love, Devotion towards Lord Krishna transgresses everything even that of Lakshmana's Love for Lord Rama, i.e., why Krishna turned back immediately when Arjuna pleaded with him to come back. Everybody thinks that the Mahabarata war was won due

to Arjuna's power of yielding the Bow or Bhima skills with the Mace, No!, It was won because Krishna gave them the Power to exercise their skills. That is why Vidhura at the beggining of the War toLd the Blind Dritharastra " Wherever there is Krishna there is Victory of this there is no doubt".
