Chapter 1: Arjuna Viṣhāda Yoga – Transforming Grief into Yoga / Verse 13

Sanjaya, the expert narrator for Dhritarashtra, was faithful, critical, suggestive and wise in reporting what all transpired in Kurukshetra. His aim was not only to inform the blind King the war events, but also to enlighten his mind and heart. Remembering Dhritarashtra’s words – “What did my sons and Pandavas do after entering the Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra” – he first stated his son’s discourteous action, and how the Grandfather had to stop him judiciously.

Following Bheeshma, all the warriors on his side raised war cries, blowing and beating a variety of instruments. There was no order, rhythm or sequence in what they did. It was tumultuous, but failed, despite their larger number, to have any effect on the opponents in front.

It is important to discern the play of the Invisible in any human effort. Whether recognized or not, Dharma has its sovereignty everywhere in all matters!
