Despair to bliss-The message of Bhagavad Gita

By P.V.S. Suryanarayana Raju and Mr P.V.S. Suryanarayana Raju. Raju

Bhagavad Gita is a sermon given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna when the latter out of non-understanding wanted to escape from his duty as a warrior. Arjuna went into despair when he realized that he has to kill his own cousins to win the war and rule the kingdom just to enjoy pleasures. This thought upset Arjuna and he felt that it better to opt out of war rather than to kill his own relatives for the sake of kingdom.His cousins not only refused to give their rightful share in the kingdom which they are entitled for, but they even refused to give even five villages to each of five Pandava brothers. His cousins Kauravas wanted to throw away from the kingdom and to see them as beggars.Sri Krishna is on side of Pandavas and he took the role of charioteer of Arjuna in the war. Seeing Arjuna's despair Krishna took that opportunity positively and he turned the focus of attention of Arjuna towards truth. So Krishna is successful to convert despair of Arjuna into longing for truth.
