Gita preaches that
war isn't result and it should be avoided at any cost. But if it couldn't be
avoided, also one should perform its part as a legionnaire. The Bhagavad Gita
starts with a scene on the battle front at Kurukshetra, wherein Arjun (or
Paarth as he's also appertained to) prepares to face the Kauravas. As with most
great chronicles, there's some confusion as to the exact dates of the
Kurukshetra war. But numerous experts believe that the Lord recited the
Bhagavad Gita in 3102B.C., just before the battle commenced. This means that
the war should have taken place about 2500 times before the Buddha and 3000
times before Jesus Christ descended on this earth. What is the meaning and message of The Bhagavad Gita, as understood by Mahatma Gandhi Lord Krishna Himself becomes
charioteer of Arjuna ( hence the name Paarthsaarathi) and drives his chariot)
into the battleground. On seeing his own family, the fabulous Bhishma Pitaamah
and his Practitioner, Acharya Drona on the other side of the battleground,
Arjun is beleaguered, submersed by swells of sadness, anxiety and emotion. He's
induced that he'd be committing a reprehensible and inexcusable sin by rubout
his own kin and kin. Arjun suddenly feels, frail, seedy and shuddery and
sprawls down on the chariot, laying down his arc and arrow. He proclaims to
Krishna that he'd not be well to paycheck war against his own cousins and
requests him to take him down from the battleground.
When Arjun’s confidence takes a downcast plunge and reaches
subsurface position on the battleground, Krishna decides to make him understand
the real meaning of life. Krishna asks Arjun to exfoliate his anxiety and
caginess that encumber his duty on the base and co-operate to reinstate the
dharmic balance of the macrocosm. What is the meaning and message of The Bhagavad Gita, as understood by Mahatma Gandhi Krishna warns him that if he were to leave
the battleground at this point of time, he'd fail despondently, desolately in
his duties, throwing the entire macrocosm out of balance, obscuring and
exterminating all good from the face of the earth. Krishna takes a Vishwaroopa
( massive icon) and reveals Himself as but one aspect of the Supreme
Mahavishnu. He shows him the cycle of life and how souls live and die and pass
through the colorful stages between the processes, while in this mortal world.
