Agnijaat
Book 8, Saraswatipuja 1425
Agnijaat
Book 8 contains shlokas (translated by Swami Ramsukhdas, their
English translations done by me) from Shrimadbhagwat Gita. These
shlokas or hymns are from Gita, the words of Gita were the sermons
Lord Krishna gave his friend Arjuna before the war of Mahabharata.
When Kaurava and Pandava- two sets of cousins were about to fight
each other to death!
Arjuna
was one of the five Pandava brothers who after much harassment in the
hands of wicked Kauravas led by Duryodhana their cousin decided to
fight them and retrieve what was rightfully theirs from their
unrighteous occupation.
When
the two armies gathered in the Kurukshetra battleground Arjuna was
aghast, he refused to kill his own cousins and decided that he will
give up his rightful kingdom and become a hermit. Krishna counseled
him to fight the war that had to be fought to destroy corruption from
world. Because nothing about Kaurava was just or righteous! Anyone
who has read Mahabharata can vouch on that.
These
shlokas are not a counsel for war-craft, they are an amazing
collection of how human beings should live! They are awesome believe
me!
