The Srimad Bhagavad Gita!
@subratagolapi
Introduction by the author :
As I am requested and inspired also by many scholars and devotees of the Lord Krishna to present a simple view of the Holy Book , The Srimad Bhagavad Gita and I being one of the most humble among the purest of the devotees of Lord Krishna and His magical greatness in the making of this wonderful world and the Universe, I present my own respectful submission about this great Holy Book !
I expect to receive an optimistic reply from the great scholars , devotees of Lord Krishna and the readers and followers of my posts and publications from all the corners of the world as usual and I shall be obliged to them for ever for their positive comments and inspiration in support of my effort inspite of my very little knowledge about such a magical creation by the Lord Krishna Himself !
I assume with a deep respect to my readers across the world that the simple explanation of the Great Holy Book , The Srimad Bhagavad Gita will be interesting to all the older and the younger generation of the world today .
..................................................................
Arjuna , the greatest among the archers of his time and Pandava III in front of the thousands of enemies in the battle line of Kurukshetra suddenly became reluctant to take part in the incumbent war against the Kauravas.
He lost all his wishes to hold his weapon and in all his dejected mind losing every hope and spirit of his life , duty and role to play there in the battle field started asking a few questions to the Lord Krishna who was the 'sarathi ' of the chariot of Arjuna and looking at the completely frustrated and confused Arjuna in his body and mind, the 'sarathi' Krishna in his ever smiling face took a front role to uplift the morale of the warrior .
In the reply of the questions asked by Arjuna , the Lord Krishna in his role as a 'sarathi', advised Arjuna to stick to his immediate duty as a soldier in the battlefield of kurukshetra ignoring all the aspects of profits and losses and the future consequences of his acts and in doing so Arjuna must equate pain with pleasure to complete his duty selflessly .
Lord Krishna's reply was not for Arjuna only but for all the human beings for all the ages from all the walks of life and the divine message was to deliver to the mind of Arjuna who was the representative of all the ordinary people of all time and all the ages , past , present and even the future and the questions and confusions appeared in the mind of Arjuna were the common questions and confusions dotted with doubts and riddles.
These often tease and tear the minds and brains of all the common people in the world in their daily life . So , the Lord appears today as the 'sarathi' of Arjuna that means as the guide of every common man and woman in the world to wipe out all clouds of confusions and doubts from the human mind so that he or she must not deviate from doing his or her duty in real life .
If a person like Arjuna could be crippled in such confusions what would be the effect of those questions and confusions in the mind of the ordinary people ? Therefore , it was an urgent call for the protection of duty and justice for Lord Krishna who knowing all the issues beforehand attended the call promptly and produced logical reply to all the questions which were extremely important and relevant in His eyes .Arjuna was entrusted with the most important duty to render justice to the victims of conspiracy , evil acts , humiliation and injustice from misdeeds and deliberate wrong in the hands of apparently mighty Kauravas .
Arjuna had to do his duty for the protection of the weak, the upright religious people , women in the then degrading society .Lord Krishna could have finished all the evil forces at that time by application of His supreme power but the Lord Himself acted as the sarathi of Arjuna , the guide and friend of a common man who opened his mind to another man who was infact a divine God , the Lord Krishna Himself with all His magical and transcendental authority to control all the forces of the Universe !
The Lord Krishna in the battle of Kurukshetra never used His power nor appeared as a supreme commander rather He embodied himself as a sarathi and just guided Arjuna in the path of duty and in order to enlighten the sense of Arjuna and to eliminate all llusions and distractions from the path of duty the 'sarathi' Krishna showed His magical and supreme divine power only visible to the eyes of Arjuna .
Lord Krishna turned the view of Arjuna from the distraction to destination , from defeat to victory and this was for the cause of duty and justice in the establishment of 'Dharma' in the society and the human life in the whole of the world.
