| Acharya Javadekar maintained that the Bhagwad Geeta laid down a code of conduct for the guidance of the kings to the followed in the wars. Lord Krishna and Arjun both were Kshatriyas (warrior Castes) and they had Kshatriya ideals to follow. The Geeta told us about the concept of the ideal warrior kng and Kshatriya's place and function in the society. Taking Arjun's Kshatriya characteristics and his duties as a warrior prince into account the Geeta espoused its teaching Mamnusara Yuddhschha. Mahatma Gandhi interpreted this axiom of the Geeta to mean “fight non-violently for truth” – and Mahatma Gandhi maintained that this interpretation was in keeping with the teaching of th Geeta. For, though all the wars were ended, the message of the Geeta was that “The war for the truth would always continue and always guide the warriors of truth”. Mahatma Gandhi thought this to be the chief message of the Geeta.1 |
