In this week’s reading I found it interesting to read about
the face that Shri Krishna was very positive about the power that Yudhishthira
possessed. Shri Krishna wanted to stop the battle, so he wanted to visit Kurus
to stop the war. Shri Krishna knew that no one could stand Yudhishthira in a
battle field. Shri Krishna wanted to stop the slaying of hundreds and thousands
of people if this battle between Kurus and Pandava was to happen. Shri Krishna
tries to reach an agreement with Duryodhana to give the throne back to Pandava.
It is amazing to learn about how hard Shri Krishna tried to stop this war
between the two brothers. Shri Krishna talks with Vidura, King Dhritarashtra
and even Duryodhana to stop the war and save all those innocent life that would
be lost if the war was to happen. After numerous attempts to stop the war, all
those attempts proves to be useless and the preparation for the war begins.
It amazes me to learn about Bhishma. Even though Pandava
brothers were fighting against the Kurus with Bhishma on their side the war
began with the permission of Bhishma. Yudhishthira took permission with Bhishma
for to begin the war. The respect and love that Bhishma has seems untouchable.
The words spoken by Bhishma while he granted permission to Karna to fight
sounded wise. Bhishma asked Karna to fight with the desire of heaven. He asked
Karna to fight without anger, without any guilt and with power and courage.
