00:06
you have given me
00:08
second life
00:09
I will never ever be able
00:14
to leave you
00:15
always stay with me
00:18
sir my question
00:22
is
00:23
as
00:26
Shri Krishna
00:27
is teaching
00:29
Arjuna to fight against
00:31
Kauravas
00:31
as Kauravas
00:33
are against Dharma
00:34
what should one
00:37
consider a Dharma
00:38
in real world of today
00:40
and fight against
00:42
with the truth
00:43
Kaurava also denied
00:44
the rights of Pandavas
00:46
and one step further
00:48
they conspired to assault
00:50
Kunti
00:51
and tried to harm Pandavas
00:53
in every possible way
00:54
there is lot of
00:57
a Dharma in everyday life
00:58
should we keep quiet
01:00
sit back
01:01
if somebody
01:02
does a Dharma
01:03
with you
01:04
even if
01:05
not at the level
01:06
that
01:07
that was between
01:08
Pandava and Kaurava
01:10
Dhanyeva
01:11
there is always
01:15
there is always
01:15
only one
01:16
a Dharma
01:17
to
01:21
to keep
01:25
a person
01:26
tied
01:26
to his
01:28
or her
01:29
animal
01:32
center
01:34
the center
01:36
the center
01:39
of the jungle
01:39
the center
01:42
of Prakriti
01:43
and evolution
01:44
that is
01:45
a Dharma
01:46
Dharma
01:49
is an ascension
01:50
arise
01:50
arise
01:54
towards
01:55
what you actually
01:57
are
01:57
are
01:58
but
02:00
must
02:02
always
02:05
still
02:06
aspire
02:07
to be
02:09
given that
02:11
you do not
02:12
start
02:12
from
02:13
what you
02:14
actually
02:14
are
02:14
if you look
02:20
at a human
02:20
being
02:21
his journey
02:24
according to
02:24
him
02:25
starts
02:25
from
02:26
the day
02:26
of
02:26
his
02:27
her
02:27
birth
02:28
we say
02:31
I began
02:33
on such
02:33
and such
02:34
day
02:34
that's
02:36
the
02:37
common
02:38
understanding
02:39
is it
02:39
not
02:40
yes
02:41
first of
02:42
January
02:43
1970
02:43
I began
02:44
my journey
02:45
so when
02:46
you begin
02:46
your journey
02:47
you do not
02:47
begin
02:48
your journey
02:48
from
02:49
the right
02:50
center
02:50
yes
02:52
so the
02:54
entire
02:54
journey
02:55
is
02:55
about
02:56
reaching
02:58
where you
02:59
anyway
03:00
are always
03:01
located
03:02
it's about
03:06
becoming
03:06
what you
03:08
anyway
03:09
are
03:09
it's about
03:12
unbecoming
03:14
what you
03:15
have
03:15
erroneously
03:16
become
03:16
yes
03:18
so that's
03:22
dharma
03:23
that's
03:24
dharma
03:25
why was
03:29
the war
03:29
fought
03:30
because
03:32
power in
03:33
the hands
03:34
of
03:34
duryodhan
03:35
would have
03:37
meant
03:37
policies
03:38
that would
03:41
have
03:41
stimulated
03:44
the animal
03:45
center
03:46
in
03:48
at least
03:49
millions
03:50
of people
03:50
hastinapur
03:54
was one
03:54
of the
03:54
larger
03:55
kingdoms
03:55
and one
03:56
of the
03:57
most
03:57
influential
03:58
and powerful
03:59
ones
03:59
what was
04:03
happening
04:03
in
04:06
hastinapur
04:06
would have
04:08
sent
04:08
ripples
04:09
throughout
04:11
the sub
04:11
continent
04:12
it was a
04:13
very central
04:14
kingdom
04:14
yes
04:17
haryana
04:19
delhi
04:20
western
04:20
up
04:21
that was
04:22
the area
04:22
so you
04:23
see how
04:23
centrally
04:24
located it
04:24
was
04:25
and very
04:28
powerful
04:29
kingdom
04:30
so
04:31
whosoever
04:32
controlled
04:32
hastinapur
04:33
would have
04:37
had
04:37
a
04:37
very
04:40
important
04:41
and
04:42
strong
04:43
effect
04:43
on the
04:44
population
04:46
of the
04:46
entire
04:46
sub
04:47
continent
04:47
in
04:51
his
04:52
interactions
04:52
with
04:53
duryodhan
04:54
in his
04:55
experience
04:56
with
04:56
duryodhan
04:57
Krishna
04:59
would have
04:59
clearly seen
05:00
how
05:01
dangerous
05:01
was it
05:02
to
05:03
let
05:03
power
05:04
come
05:05
to
05:05
this
05:06
fellow's
05:06
hands
05:07
power
05:13
in the
05:13
hands
05:14
of
05:14
duryodhan
05:14
would have
05:15
meant
05:16
rampant
05:17
adharma
05:18
all
05:21
pervasive
05:21
adharma
05:22
because
05:25
we
05:26
are
05:27
people
05:28
who
05:29
get
05:29
influenced
05:29
yatha
05:33
raja
05:33
ha
05:35
praja
05:36
if the
05:38
state
05:39
policies
05:39
themselves
05:40
promote
05:42
adharma
05:42
then the
05:47
effect on
05:47
the
05:48
population
05:49
would
05:51
definitely
05:51
be
05:53
derogatory
05:54
therefore
05:58
the war
05:58
therefore
06:02
it was
06:02
seen
06:02
that
06:04
in spite
06:06
of the
06:06
number of
06:07
lives
06:08
that are
06:08
likely to
06:09
be lost
06:09
in the
06:10
war
06:10
it was
06:12
still
06:12
important
06:13
that the
06:13
war be
06:14
fought
06:14
the war
06:19
was not at all
06:20
for the sake of
06:21
arjun
06:21
or the
06:24
pandaf
06:24
party
06:25
no
06:25
it was not at all
06:29
for the sake of
06:33
giving one back
06:34
to duryodhan
06:34
oh you have been
06:36
unjust and treacherous
06:38
all the while
06:40
so let retribution
06:44
come
06:44
no
06:45
that was
06:45
not what the war
06:47
was about
06:47
there was nothing
06:51
personal
06:52
about the war
06:53
it's not that
06:57
krishna had a soft
07:01
corner for arjun
07:02
or favored the
07:03
pandavas more
07:04
therefore he
07:07
aligned with the
07:08
pandavas
07:08
it's just that
07:12
power could not
07:14
come to duryodhan
07:15
it was certain
07:17
and therefore the
07:18
war had to be
07:19
fought
07:19
it's not
07:24
about who
07:27
really was the
07:28
rightful
07:29
lament to the
07:32
throne
07:32
even that was
07:33
not a very
07:35
important question
07:36
people often
07:38
quarrel over
07:39
those details
07:40
dhritarashtra
07:43
or pandu
07:44
and therefore
07:47
yudhishthir
07:48
or duryodhan
07:48
a lot of people
07:50
argue over these
07:51
things
07:51
it was not about
07:52
dhritarashtra
07:53
or his blindness
07:55
or pandu
07:57
or his illness
07:58
or yudhishthir
08:03
or duryodhan
08:06
it was not about
08:07
these fellows
08:07
it was about
08:08
having
08:10
the one
08:12
right fellow
08:13
on the throne
08:15
who would
08:17
help
08:17
the entire
08:20
population
08:20
navigate
08:21
the path
08:22
of dharma
08:22
so i dare
08:27
say
08:27
that krishna
08:31
would have
08:31
tried to
08:32
put
08:32
a dharmic
08:38
person
08:39
on the throne
08:43
even if
08:44
that dharmic
08:45
person
08:46
were not
08:49
the rightful
08:51
hire
08:52
by
08:55
traditional
08:56
logic
08:57
or ritual
09:01
why are we
09:04
talking of
09:05
yudhishthir
09:05
or duryodhan
09:06
here
09:06
because they
09:07
were the
09:07
senior most
09:08
in their
09:09
lines
09:09
but had
09:12
it so
09:13
transpired
09:14
that the
09:17
two
09:18
senior most
09:19
brothers
09:20
on either
09:21
lines
09:21
the
09:21
core of
09:23
line
09:23
and the
09:24
pandu
09:24
line
09:24
were both
09:25
rank
09:27
scoundrels
09:28
then krishna
09:32
would have
09:33
supported
09:34
and picked
09:35
maybe the
09:38
youngest
09:40
brother
09:40
as his
09:42
choice
09:43
for the
09:44
crown
09:44
if the
09:46
youngest
09:46
one
09:46
were dharmic
09:50
so it's
09:54
not as
09:54
if krishna
09:55
is trying
09:55
to settle
10:01
things
10:02
in a
10:04
just
10:04
way
10:05
in a
10:08
matter
10:08
between
10:09
brothers
10:12
it is
10:14
not
10:15
a thing
10:16
between
10:17
two
10:19
parties
10:19
of
10:20
brothers
10:20
it is
10:22
a thing
10:22
that
10:23
concerns
10:23
an entire
10:24
population
10:25
are you
10:30
getting
10:30
it
10:30
krishna
10:32
is not
10:32
saying
10:32
oh
10:33
you know
10:33
you
10:33
send
10:34
these
10:35
people
10:35
off
10:35
to
10:35
the
10:35
jungle
10:36
and
10:38
that
10:38
was
10:39
illegitimate
10:40
therefore
10:42
now
10:42
you
10:42
should
10:42
pay
10:42
up
10:43
no
10:45
no
10:46
it's
10:47
not
10:47
that
10:47
oh
10:49
you
10:49
know
10:49
these
10:49
fellows
10:50
they
10:51
have
10:51
fulfilled
10:52
the
10:52
condition
10:52
of
10:53
being
10:54
away
10:54
for so
10:54
many
10:54
years
10:55
in
10:55
the
10:55
jungle
10:55
and
10:56
then
10:56
for
10:57
remaining
10:58
incognito
10:59
agyatvas
11:00
for one
11:01
more year
11:02
so they
11:03
have fulfilled
11:03
all the
11:04
conditions
11:04
so you
11:05
should
11:05
give
11:06
them
11:06
their
11:06
territory
11:07
it's
11:07
not
11:08
about
11:08
all
11:08
that
11:08
even
11:14
if
11:14
traditional
11:15
justice
11:16
were
11:16
to be
11:17
on
11:17
Duryodhana
11:17
side
11:18
Krishna
11:20
would
11:20
have
11:20
still
11:20
supported
11:21
the
11:21
Pandavas
11:22
because
11:23
it's
11:23
not
11:23
about
11:24
traditional
11:24
justice
11:25
it's
11:26
about
11:26
higher
11:26
justice
11:27
traditional
11:31
justice
11:31
says
11:32
give
11:33
the
11:33
throne
11:34
and
11:34
the
11:34
crown
11:34
to
11:35
the
11:35
elder
11:35
most
11:36
brother
11:36
the
11:39
eldest
11:39
son
11:39
that's
11:41
traditional
11:41
justice
11:42
Krishna's
11:45
justice
11:45
is
11:45
dharmic
11:46
not
11:46
traditional
11:47
he
11:48
says
11:49
the
11:52
eldest
11:52
is
11:53
the
11:53
one
11:53
who
11:55
is
11:55
the
11:55
wisest
11:56
wisdom
11:59
is
12:00
the
12:00
criteria
12:01
for
12:03
determining
12:04
elderliness
12:05
the
12:10
eldest
12:11
one
12:11
by
12:11
age
12:12
is
12:13
not
12:14
necessarily
12:14
the
12:15
wisest
12:15
wisdom
12:18
is
12:20
the
12:20
touch
12:21
stone
12:21
I'll
12:22
see
12:22
who
12:22
is
12:23
the
12:23
wisest
12:23
one
12:23
I'll
12:25
see
12:26
who
12:26
is
12:26
the
12:26
most
12:26
dharmic
12:27
and
12:29
that
12:29
one
12:30
I'll
12:30
take
12:30
to be
12:30
the
12:31
eldest
12:31
and
12:32
he
12:33
shall
12:33
rise
12:33
to
12:34
the
12:34
throne
12:34
that's
12:35
Krishna's
12:37
justice
12:37
because
12:38
to him
12:40
it's not
12:40
about
12:40
these
12:41
two
12:41
quarreling
12:41
parties
12:42
to him
12:42
it is
12:43
not
12:43
about
12:43
five
12:44
odd
12:45
people
12:45
here
12:45
and
12:45
hundred
12:46
odd
12:46
people
12:46
there
12:47
to him
12:48
it is
12:49
about
12:49
the
12:50
millions
12:50
that
12:51
that
12:51
are
12:52
there
12:52
in
12:52
the
12:52
whole
12:53
country
12:55
we
12:59
often
13:00
fail
13:00
to
13:01
put
13:04
the
13:05
war
13:05
in
13:06
perspective
13:07
we
13:10
miss
13:11
the
13:11
bigger
13:11
picture
13:11
we
13:15
feel
13:15
it
13:15
was
13:15
about
13:16
avenging
13:16
the
13:17
atrocities
13:18
that
13:19
Duryodhan
13:20
had been
13:20
committing
13:20
you know
13:21
he
13:21
misbehaved
13:22
Vidraupati
13:22
you
13:25
know
13:25
he
13:25
tried
13:25
to
13:26
kill
13:26
the
13:26
Pandavas
13:27
in
13:28
Lakshagra
13:28
you
13:32
know
13:32
he
13:32
tried
13:32
to
13:32
poison
13:33
Bhim
13:33
hmm
13:38
you
13:38
know
13:40
he
13:40
was
13:40
always
13:41
being
13:41
unfair
13:41
he
13:42
was
13:42
always
13:42
conspiring
13:43
therefore
13:45
the
13:45
Pandavas
13:46
should
13:46
fight
13:47
for
13:47
their
13:47
own
13:48
rights
13:48
the
13:49
war
13:49
was
13:49
not
13:49
about
13:50
the
13:50
Pandavas
13:50
rights
13:51
the
13:52
war
13:52
was
13:53
not
13:53
to
13:53
avenge
13:54
Duryodhan's
13:55
atrocities
13:56
against
13:56
Pandavas
13:57
in
13:57
the
13:58
past
13:58
the
14:01
war
14:01
was
14:02
to
14:02
stop
14:03
Duryodhan
14:03
from
14:05
wreaking
14:06
havoc
14:07
on
14:08
the
14:08
entire
14:09
country
14:09
in
14:09
the
14:10
future
14:10
it
14:14
was
14:14
not
14:14
about
14:15
squaring
14:15
the
14:16
past
14:17
it
14:18
was
14:19
about
14:20
aborting
14:22
what
14:24
was
14:24
coming
14:24
in
14:25
the
14:25
future
14:26
revenge
14:31
and
14:32
retribution
14:32
these
14:33
are
14:33
small
14:34
things
14:34
for
14:35
a
14:35
wise
14:35
man
14:36
like
14:36
Krishna
14:36
the
14:40
wise
14:40
ones
14:40
do
14:40
not
14:41
get
14:41
hurt
14:41
easily
14:42
why
14:43
will
14:43
they
14:43
clamor
14:44
for
14:44
revenge
14:44
what
14:52
is
14:52
dharma
14:52
then
14:52
please
14:53
always
14:53

the
