In Mahabharata, we learn about the five brothers who fought
for each other and who fought for their kingdom with their own blood, their
brothers and family members. It was the fight between the right and wrong.
Pandava brothers had a strong bond between them. However, in this week’s
reading I found it amazing to read about the dispute between Yudhishthira and
Arjuna. When Yudhishthira found that Karna was still alive in the war, he taunted
Arjuna in anger for being a coward and saying that a better man deserves the
Gandiva. Upon hearing this Arjuna drew his sword and vowed to slay
Yudhishthira. Shri Krishna came as a savior and talked Arjuna out of his vow to
slay the man who asks him to give Gandiva to another man. Arjuna first thinks
he should kill himself for the disrespect but again with some good reasoning
that Shri Krishna gives him, he vows to slay Karna.

It is
amazing how deep connection that these five brothers shared that you would
think that it could never be broken. But, if Shri Krishna was not there at that
time to consult Arjuna, there would have been a huge fight between Arjuna and
Yudhishthira for the disrespect that Yudhishthira did to Arjuna, while he was
angry about Karna still being alive in the battlefield.
