Shri Krishna: A great lover of true religion

At that time, the Kurukshetra ground of the Great War of Mahabharata had been destroyed. Most of the warriors from all over India gathered to kill each other. So the camp of both the Kauravas and the Pandavas had already made grand preparations for this great battle.

But in this genocidal war that took place in the mythological history, Ahimsa Prem Shrikrishna played a major role as a protagonist. He then became their facilitator to help the Pandavas, and joined their side. Lord Krishna wanted the Pandavas to win this great war. That is why they were involved in the battle of Mahabharata. Yet Lord Krishna took a vow that he would not carry a weapon in his hand during this war. What kind of pledge is this? One thing is acceptable, to join the war is to take up arms, weapons! So why did Lord Krishna vow to remain unarmed in the Mahabharata war?

Before knowing the reasons for taking this awful vow of Lord Krishna, it is necessary to understand the commitment of 'Shri Krishna Charitra' behind it.

There are two great higher values ​​in human life. Truth and love! From a pedagogical and cohesive point of view, all the basic truths in life are at the heart of these two great values. If a nation, a society or an individual faithfully adheres to these two highest values ​​of life, then all the virtues of the world are nurtured.

In general, there is no opposition to the observance of these virtues of truth and love. They both complement each other. But sometimes there is a difficult situation in life that when one has to follow the truth, one has to sacrifice love for the sake of circumstances, sometimes one has to sacrifice the truth if one wants to give priority to love.

During the Great War of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna was also put in such a dilemma. When the Pandavas and Kauravas urged him to join their side in the war in the Mahabharata. Then Lord Krishna very thoughtfully went to the side of the Pandavas. If you want to understand Lord Krishna in the true sense, you must understand the state of mind of his Mahabharata.

In the character of Lord Krishna, high values ​​like truth and love were revered at the highest level. They needed a lover, but they also had a special love. Lord Krishna went to the Pandavas because there was truth on the side of the Pandavas. The victory of the Pandavas in the war was to be the victory of truth. In order to restore the prestige of Satya Dharma to Satdharma, the victory of the Pandavas in the Great War of the Mahabharata was necessary. Such eternal values ​​and devotion to Satdharma were what inspired Lord Krishna to side with the Pandavas.

But Lord Krishna was absolutely truthful. At the same time, he had a firm belief in basic non-violence and love. If he had taken up arms in the war, he would have killed many innocent young people. Whose sin cost him as a responsible person. That is why, in order not to commit the sin of killing to practice his love religion, he took the path of unarmed.

Thus the supreme saint Krishna joined the side of the Pandavas for the victory of truth. So for the values ​​of eternal love, he chose the option of non-violence. Lord Krishna did his best to prevent this great war. But due to Duryodhana's ego, the deadly violence of this war could not be avoided. Yet in the end Lord Krishna became the ultimate greatness of the age by preserving these basic great truths in the world.
