[Guest guest]

Swami's Wonderful Discourse on the Mahabarata - June' 1965 People ask as to why did not SriKrishna stop the war, why had so many people have to die for the sake of a kingdom, Swami's answer is that God does not interfere with the course of nature. God never stops the natural Course of things, It is only that God teaches people lessons from the Course of nature so that people become better human beings. The Greatest Lessons from the Mahabarata is that God never leaves those who pray sincerely and give up their Lives for him, Yudhistira never once during all the periods of trials that he went through, questioned Sri Krishna's Divinity, everyone of his other Brothers did not understand that How could they be be subject to so many troubles even with Sri Krishna on their Side and Krishna always with them, Even in the

Court During Draupadi Vasthrabarana and the other Humiliations that the Pandavas were going through, never once did Dharmaja even think that SriKrishna had deserted them, that was the greatest Love and Devotion that he had for the Lord, Whnever Krishna wanted to sat something to the Pandavas, Dharmaja was the first to whom he said it to, Dharmaja followed every word that Krishna told him during various times, that is why Swami says that apart from being the Upholder of Truth, he was also Srikrishna's greatest Devotee, He never once questioned SriKrishna's actions and words. Swami always says have faith in God, His actions always have a meaning, a reason, that will always be beneficial to you. Have faith In God, have Love for God and have Great Devotion for the Lord, If Love, faith and Devotion are pure then God's Blessings shower on you and you will receives God's Blessings. During the War when Karna was

destroying the Pandava army, Arjuna told Krishna that No one would survive this Onslaught of Karna, such was the Karna's Power, SriKrishna smiled and told Arjuna that "He who had felled The Great Bhishmacharya should not fear Karna", Krishna told Arjuna to be prepared for the "Final Battle with Karna", this was the only time that Krishna, Arjuna and Karna were face to face during the battlefield, When Karna was destroying everything in his path, came the sound of Krishna's Panchajanya, That Sound meant that Arjuna's chariot was near, this was what Karna was waiting for all his life, to fight Arjuna, he had promised Duryodhana that he would Kill Arjuna, three times before this he had got the News Arjuna was surrounded, but before he could reach there, Krishna had drawn Arjuna away from the Scene of Battle. Krishna's Powers never let anyone touch Arjuna, that is what Pure Love of God does, It protects you always from everything and anything, God will always be with

you. Sri Krishna always wanted to be left alone for an hour after the war was over for the day, Nobody knew what SriKrishna was doing at that time, Once Dharmaja by mistake went into Srikrishna's tent during that time and to his Horror saw huge amount of blood pouring from SriKrishna's palm, Yudhistira was stunned, he was shocked beyond Belief, he asked in shocked and choked tones as to what had happened, SriKrishna smiled and said "Oh;Dharmaja, every arrow which is Fired at my chariot at my Horses and at Arjuna are absorbed by me" Yudhistira could not control the tears in his eyes, this is what Is the Love of the Lord. The Lord's Love is Pure and never asks anything in return. When Krishna took Arjuna to Karna in the battlefield, Karna's arrows killed the Two charioteers beside Arjuna, Karna was playing havoc in the battlefield, Arjuna was staring helpless, Karna had stopped his chariot to refill his Arrows,

this was when SriKrishna stood up and pressed his Foot on the side of his chariot, Suddenly Karna's chariot started sinking in the Mud, Karna got down and started pulling the chariot up, Krishna commanded a Hesitant Arjuna to shoot at Karna, Karna got up and with Anger asked Krishna" You pride yourself as Divine and as one who is always adhere to truth, Is it not a sin to try to kill a person who is unarmed and in trouble" and saying that he started accusing SriKrishna of everything and anything, Krishna calmly listened and then told Karna "What Truth are you talking about, What bravery did you exhibit when you killed an unarmed Abhimanyu, what bravery did you exhibit when you were silent when your Brother's Wife was Humiliated, what bravery are you talking about?, for your selfish ends you talk about bravery, but with others it is cowardice, you deserve nothing but this kind of death" so saying he commanded Arjuna to kill Karna who was bare and unarmed and that ended

Karna's Life. People have questioned Krishna's actions, Swami always says never questions God's actions, Karna deserved to die the way he did because he lived a life full of treachery, so he deserve to die the way he did, You sow what you reap, Always do Good actions are you will always reap the fruit sof them, always feel that if you do wrong things, all the Good things that you have done will not come to your help. Good things done will always help you anytime and everytime.That is Why Swami always says Always Think Good about others, Do Good to others and above all Have faith is the Lord. The Mahabarata teaches everyone Two important lessons that How Adherence to Truth and Goodness will always do good to you, Nothing could harm Yudhistira because He always adhered to the path of Dharma and Righteousness, The Second is The Divine Will of SriKrishna - God's will is supreme, everyone of the Pandavas who were

steadfast in their Devotion of SriKrishna ultimately prospered in everyway, This Proves one having Pure and Great Devotion to the Lord will always get Benefit by The Lord's Grace. Om Sai Ram
