Peace!


Sri Krsna said to Sanjay: You have audacity to speak about morality now, but at that time when Draupadi was insulted, you too had remained silent. Because Karna spoke crudely to Draupadi, calling her Kauravā’s slave while urging her to accept another husband, because Dushasana chided Pāndavās as they dressed in deerskin preparing to depart for forest & because Sakuni arrogantly suggested that since all else was lost Yudhisthira should wager his wife-these 3 are doomed for destruction. Their only atonement will be if they voluntarily give Yudhisthira his kingdom with great respect


He continued: Just to give them the opportunity, I’ll personally go to Hastināpur. I’ll give Duryodhana good advice & try to settle matter peacefully. However, only if Kurus pay Me due respect upon My arrival & agree to My proposals unconditionally will they be saved from clutches of death. Pāndavās are just as ready to wait upon their old, blind uncle as they are prepared to fight. The choice is in Dhritrāshtra’s hands. You should return to Hastināpur & relay to him all that I’ve said


Sanjay took permission to depart from Maharāj Yudhisthira & begged: If the words I spoke from core of my heart were in any way offensive to you, pls forgive me


Yudhisthira said: I can assure you that you’re very dear to me & my brothers, just as Vidura is. On my behalf, pls meet all classes of citizens upon returning & assure them of my well being. Also enquire about their welfare


In addition, I want you to relay this message to Duryodhana: You obsession of ruling Kurus without rival is most unreasonable. Although thought of sharing kingdom with us must torture your heart, you’ll have to give Indraprastha willingly or else fight. Appeal to Dhritrāshtra by reminding him how he raised us in our childhood & then bestowed upon us our kingdom when we attained maturity. Ask him for what reason we should now be denied sovereignty


Remind Bhisma of how he had helped to revive the line of Shantanu when it had almost become extinct. Ask him how he can now encourage this fratricidal war that will completely destroy Kuru dynasty. Assure all Kurus that we are willing to forgive all insults received from them, even Dushasana dragging of Draupadi, provided we're given at least one province or even 5 villages to rule. We are anxious to achieve a peaceful settlement so that Kurus may not be unnecessarily annihilated


Convince the Kurus that I’m not saying this out of fear, for we are living here quite happily & are fully confident of our prowess


Peace should always be given the best chance. But giving chance to peace doesn’t mean that the other party is fearful of outcome, it just means they are courageous enough to opt for the harmony in between cacophony. Violence should be the last option & should be used as a deterrent but should always be an option. Let’s get out of the trappings of the matrix of our own creation & see realities


Also it starts with the PEACE Within

  Never Fall down!   Arjun released an Agni weapon that brightly lit up entire sky. Karna invoked a Varuna weapon that quenched the fire by creating clouds with a Vayavya weapon & then released a favourite weapon of Indra that made thousands of arrows issues forth from his G ā ndiva bow   While being pierced all over, Karna countered Aindra weapon with a Bh ārgava weapon & proceeded to kill many of the foremost Pāncāla warriors. Seeing this, Bhima’s anger blazed up like fire. He chastised his brother by saying: O Arjun, how can you allow these great warriors to be killed within your very sight? Please remember how Karna had insulted Draupadi? Give up your indifference & kill him without delay!   Sri Krsna said: Dear Arjun, you must exert your full prowess now, if need be, you can take help from my Sudarshan Cakra!   After momentarily considering the purpose of his appearance in this world, Arjun replied: Lord, with your permission as ...

  Make or break!   When Salya agreed to drive Karna’s chariot only on condition that he must be allowed to speak freely whatever he likes, Duryodhana and Karna readily agreed & thus a contract was made. Duryodhana flattered Salya by comparing him to Lord Brahmā, who formerly became Shiva’s charioteer at the time of destroying Tripura   Duryodhana concluded his long talk by saying: Dear Salya, Parasurāma delivered the entire science of weapons to Karna. Therefore, we must intelligently conclude that Karna cannot really be a sutā’s son. He must be the offspring of a demigod born in a Kshatriya family & then abandoned at infancy. Otherwise, why would Parasurāma agreed to instruct him in the complete use of weapons?   Salya replied: I have heard on numerous occasions the story of how Lord Brahmā became Lord Siva’s charioteer. You should not place so much faith in your plans, because even if Arjun is killed, Sri Krsna will exterminate the entire Kaurav...

Real compassion! Duryodhana who was hiding inside the lake, became very depressed hearing the bitter words from Yudhisthira, but since there was no alternative, he finally made up his mind to accept Yudhisthira’s challenge & fight. He said: I’m only one, whereas you Pandavas are many. Therefore, pls do not demand that I fight with all of you at once. Kindly allow me to combat you one at a time. In that way I will be able to kill all of you & thus repay the debt to the great warriors who died for my sake   Yudhisthira said: O Duryodhana. It is very commendable that you have accepted my challenge. Now you can choose whichever one of us you would like to fight with the choice of weapons will be yours. If you are able to kill any one of us Pandavas, you will be given back your kingdom. Otherwise, if we kill you, you will attain a heavenly destination   Duryodhana said: You have amply displayed your noble character by allowing me to fight against only one opponent...
