he could have averted the war- but never did so
धृत -रा one who has caughthold of his post and position
Dhritarastra यु ध थर - य ु ͬध र one who can remain undisturbed even during war
Mamakah Pandavascaiva Didn't consider Pandavas as own Not only Physically Blind Also Spiritually Blind I and Mine concept
Inside he doesn't want compromise in war -but externally showing as if he wants compromise in the war Lesson 1
Take itas it is - Srila Prabhupad 's commentary Lesson 4
Brahma sampraday
Rudra Sampraday should be in Guru Parampara 4 Bonafide sampradaayas-Padma Puran Sri sampraday
4 Kumars Sampraday
free fromInterpretation and motivation- mood for reading Bhagvad gita should teach uswhat Krishna wants us to teach
Kurukshrtra= Body
Dhritarastra & Duryodhan, were crooked in 5 Pandavas= 5 senses nature,why they are placed in Bhagvad gita? Bogus interpretation 100 Kauravas = so many negative desires
Arjun= Soul
DHRITARASTRA’S INQUIRY 1.1 Krishna= Conscience Lesson 2
Why Only Kurukshetra was chosen as place for fighting? why not any other place?
was very huge place, not just restricted to the present place - war extended till sonipat/panipat/karnaal/ambala
place for pilgrimage from earlier times Any tirtha increases the benefit 1000 times
parshuram did tapasya & made some kundas as a place for atoning the killing of Kshatriyas 21 times
COMPASSION Seeds are protected Pandavas will be protected 1.28-1.30 PREPARATION FOR WAR 1.1-1.11 Allowed him to do Cultivation of dharma/ धम King Kuru did Tapasya here क खेती= े =खेत Lord Vishnu was pleased सै य िन र ण योग weeds are upoooted Kauravas will be annihilated LOSS OF ENJOYMENT (Sanjay/Duryodhan/Arjun) Kurukshetra 1.31-1.35 As his sons are adharmik - they might get defeated Chapter 1 Bhagvad Gita Dhritarastra - was worried because FEAR OF SIN As Pandavas were dharmik- hey might get victory ͬ 1.36-1.38 अजनु ा योग Once Lakshman felt ill feelings for Raam when At that place fight happened between Sunda they came to place during exile and Upasunda for Tilottama DESTRUCTION OF FAMILY Importance of Place - Just like we chose a good place for a cricket match TRADITIONS 1.39-1.43 Example of someone If someone asks ,What did one Dhritarastraasking Silly question do, surely one would eat Question doesn't make sense What did they do? given a plateful of Lunch Lesson 3 INDECISION 2.6 Almost every Character in Mahabharat has a past life history Duryodhan- Personified Kali Yuga Shakuni - Personified Dwapar Yuga

Dhritarastra was diplomatic
Sanjay answers diplomatically by addressing as Raja sanjay answers your sons will not compromise BG 1.2 Why Sanjay addresses asRaja Although Duryodhan wasn't king yet, but Yuvraaj
Last time they would be addressed as Raja- they would not remain Raja after the war
Also asked about the secret how they could be killed in war How Yudhisthir acted before war Took Blessings Of Bhishma, Drona, Kripacharya DURYODHAN’S FEAR & DIPLOMACY 1.2-11 goes to Drona - Not Bhishma, although he was general Lesson 5 Eklavya Discussed- Drona wasn't partial
why not he could teach Eklavya If he could share art of weaponry to wouldbe killer Power of Blessings Insults Guru Drona indirectly Finds fault in his training Dhristadyumna If a militant is given the science of ballistic missiles, what he would do? How Duryodhan acts before war But he did train Dhristadyumna- because he Lesson 6 wasqualified to receive it
