Bhagavad Geeta - Unity in Diversity



For a casual reader who comprehends a single sentence or a solitary syllable will find Bhagavad Gita to be a sublime, and for the refuge a spiritual sanctuary securing comfort, consolation, confidence and candour. Lord Krishna, the practical philosopher par excellence, has been the author of this way of life distinct from the doctrinaire approach of didactic dogmatism. Unity in diversity is the soul of whole message of Gita. I am citing the above because the way in which Krishna played his role as a great Acharya, statesman, diplomat in many situations reflects his proactive wisdom. In an incident, sage Vyasa quotes that Krishna questions Arjuna before the commencement of the war that can Pandavas think of victory if veterans like Jarasandha, Bakasura, Kichaka, Hidimbasura, Shishupala were alive  they would have joined the side of Duryodhana. It was a logical question as the above named persons were systematically exterminated by Krishna's diplomacy. Sometimes, we see that it appears like victory to adharma which is not true. Sage Vyasa who was regarded as 'walking encyclopedia' has explained the above lucidly. 
Perhaps you may differ with my views. Still I solicit them.

S.Govindan
