Re: request clarification

From the Bhakti List Archives

Anand Iyengar • December 11, 2002 


Swamin,
Yudishtira was the eldest among the pandavas and
kauravas . When the throne belonged righteousely to 
yudishtira , the kauravas did not want to hand over
the throne to him which was preventing the pandavas
from performing their "ksatriya" karma. The pandavas
tried to work along with the kauravas on various
occassions , but all in vain . And finally when
nothing woked out and war was the only option left out
, they had to fight it out .

Thats the reason why Sri Krishna was supporting them
as perumal said "Yada yada hi dharmAsya ...." and
preached the bhagavat gita to arjuna distinctly
seperating each of the "Gnayana", "Bhakti" , "karma"
and also empasised that one should not be giving up
his karma in the pretext of bhakti.

The above explanation is totally adiyens
interpretation from the upanyasams that adiyen had the
bhagyam of listening to . In case of any wrong
interpretation adiyen requests the learned bhagavats
to correct adiyen.
