The Mahabharata and its people

BIG FACE COULD BE LOST IN A VERY BIG WAY

Lord Krishna said to Arjuna – go and fight, because other people will shame you if you don’t? but it’s a pressure?

Guruji: you will be shamed, you will lose face in front of other warriors.

but why did he care?

Guruji: he was preparing all his life for this battle: suddenly you cannot back when everybody gathered. You will lose face. It was not a sudden program, it was well-prepared, well-thought, very well-planned thing. You cannot back on the last moment.

he was a king, big face?

Guruji: Big face could be lost in a very big way. He was not a king – his elder brother used to be a king.

but there were his cousins on the other side?

Guruji: I think it’s all over the world – for the kingdom and for the throne. There is a bloody war between families – it happens. Take it physically but think also metaphysically.

VYAS JI

Watch the video

I’ve read almost every mythological book available in India; all religious books, all philosophy, and some portions of the Vedas also; some rishis stand out.

One thing which Vyas Ji did, no one has ever done before. It is written in the Mahabharat that when Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, Kunti, and Vidur – maybe Sanjay also – went to the jungle to do some tapas and just pass their last days, Yudhishthir decided to go there.

So 1.6 billion widows followed him there. You can imagine the sorrow and the atmosphere there: 1.6 billion widows – those who had lost their husbands in the battle – following Yudhishthir.

They found them, and while they were just greeting each other, Vyas Ji came. And He simply said: “I will call every dead person who died in the battle by the bank of the Ganges.”

He went into the water and invoked them. Every dead person who had died in the battle started to come out of the water. It is the biggest miracle I’ve ever heard of.

The whole night they were there, and even all those Kauravas and Pandavas were seeing each other, and very friendly they were talking the whole night.

Then, in the early morning, when the cock crowed, Vyas Ji said: “Any woman who loves her husband can go with her husband.”

All the ladies, when they started to go into the water, jumped in with them. And then it is said that they were sent with their husbands to different dimensions, wherever they were going.

This miracle stands alone. I’ve never, ever come across any similar episode.

When this story was told to Janamejaya, he doubted it. Vyas Ji was there, and in one second He called his father there. Just like that!

No other rishi has done it. They have performed great miracles, but to call 1.6 million dead people and send their wives with them – unheard of.

I think it was the biggest miracle. So we respect Vyas Ji and hope He will bless us.

HONOUR TO DIE AS A REAL KSHATRIYA

it was Krishna, who killed Ekalavya in battle?

Guruji: we read it somewhere; he was actually supporting Shishupala – and it wasn’t in battle, he just finished him.

what kind of proposition Krishna gave to Drona and Karna that they let to kill them?

Guruji: nobody was able to fight with Dronacharya – he was Guru and direct disciple of Parashuram. And I’m very proud to say – he was my ancestor. It was decreed that they asked him, how he will be killed. Dronacharya himself said: no one can kill me. But if you give me the very bad news and I leave all my weapons – only then someone kill me. When they told Dronacharya, that Ashwatthaman is dead – they actually killed one elephant, called Ashwatthaman; Dronacharya said , that I will believe, only if Yudhishthira say this. It is a very famous thing when Yudhishthira came and say: yes, Ashwatthaman is dead – but in a very small voice he said: the elephant or a man. Dronacharya just sat down, left his bow and everything, make padmasan and left his body himself. Then Dhrishtadyumna, brother of Draupadi, came and cut the head of the dead body. This was taken as a great insult by Ashwatthaman and as a result he killed them all, last night in the camp. Karna also; because he was not fighting – the wheel of his vehicle was tucked and he was trying to lift it up. Krishna said: now! Kill him! – and he was killed. So what was the point of this question?

I thought that Krishna may have some suggestion or proposition for Dronacharya and Karna – so they agreed on such death?

Guruji: no, it’s much deeper than that. I think Karna was only legitimate child of Kunti: all others was born when she was married to Pandu. All Pandavas were not the biological sons of their father. But Karna was – so he deserved to die from the weapon, like a real kshatriya. And Krishna was protecting all the Pandavas so much that they die the very different type of death. That maybe the reason.

WEAPON OF SHIV

why brahmastra could neutralize all other celestial weapons?

Guruji: it was the most powerful weapon; the giver is the creator himself, Brahma. Everything which was created under the creator, could be neutralized by this weapon.

what about pashupatastra?

Guruji: that was from Shiva – no one can neutralize it. And it was never used. Like Ironman said: the best weapon is the one that never used. Only for testing.

for what Shiva created it – if it will be never used?

Guruji: if someone just know that someone has pashupatastra – who will dare it? I don’t remember any record somewhere, that Pashupatastra was used.

how it works?

Guruji: that only Shiva knows. Shiva himself is called Pashupati and what he created is called pashupatastra.

Krana is the great warrior & real friend.

I will give you an example from Mahabharata – it’s the very great example of Karna, who was the first son o

f Kunti and the Sun god. She abandoned him and chariot driver brought him up. And when the battle was about the week – Krishna went to him with the message from Kunti, that you’re actually her son – he simply refused. He agreed that she is his mother. But he said: that people carried me when I was absolutely helpless – they give me shade and take good care of me – I will consider them as my real mother and father. Now I simply can not abandon them. And I’m absolutely agree with him. Till today he continued to be called by the name of foster mother: Radheya. Her name was Radha, and he always was called as the son of Radha. Even if my father was a poor man – I must be proud of him. It is not that I must continue to regret – my father should be a king, or a count, or a billionaire, he must come and take me away – I will do my level best to support my father, who may be very poor and very low person in society. It doesn’t matter to me – he is my father and I am proud of him. And if I will have enough capacity or enough talent – I’m sure society always recognize that and enough money comes. If I have not talent – I will have enough power and I’m fine with that. Suppose that I’m not talented at all and I’m a poor person: what is my role in the society? I’m providing comparison to the talented person – don’t you think, this is very important thing? At least, I’m an example: look at him, look how he is poor etc. this is my duty, god created me only for this. For comparison.

I think it’s funny when it is said that such people are children of god

Guruji: if I’m son of god, it means that I’m feeling great complex about my biological parents. I’m ok with them, I’m extremely proud to be their son and I’m fine with it.

same thing if microbes, living on me, would think that I’m the creator?

Guruji: yes, they can believe in you. But what is believe? Believe means to be able to live on someone. That is believe, be live.

And I will say – no matter what happen, the circumstances – being very humble or poor: always support your people. Your friends. No matter of consequences.

Karna also supported his friend

Guruji: yes, and he stands out best character in Mahabharata. Recognize his greatness: Krishna himself did all the last rituals for him. That is amazing. If I remember correctly – Krishna did last rituals only for Karna. One and only example. That makes him the very great person indeed. An avatar like Krishna doing last rituals for someone – just imagine!

what happened to him? He never take another birth?

Guruji: no. he died in a battle, with the weapon – it make us sure that he take a very high realm. And he was officially son of Sun god. For all the Pandavas - the real father was one, official was someone else: but for Karna there is no doubt. Only foster parents – they brought him.

what do you think – Hanuman supported Arjuna?

Guruji: he promised Bhima to sit on his flag. He look after Lord Krishna, because he was looking after Lord Rama also. Krishna was not lift any weapons, he remain without weapon – Hanuman was sitting there. For any case – if something goes wrong. To protect and to survey, if the need rises.

now when You said that all married men were smiling

Guruji: only on such occasions that smile comes. Behind every successful man there is a woman; and behind that woman – successful man’s wife with the knife( laughing). So : they were discussing very high mentality, which average man will never understand. Pure concentration, pure focus after you have taken the major decision: I must achieve. Never doubt yourself. He was giving consult to the world’s champion warrior: you can just imagine the level of their mind and discussion. We need to consider this fact. And it is our great fortune that it was recorded by Vyasa so we can read it.

that is the great point because the majority is taking Arjuna as a normal man

Guruji: he is not normal at all! He did enough tapas, saw Shiva face to face, got Pashupatastra from Him; he went to heaven and were sitting on the half throne of Indra- he was his offspring; his achievements are great. One thing I remember – in Mahabharata it is written, that he was able to kill a fly, which was two miles away flying on a pace of a boar’s ear. Not even with rifle we can do it now. And it will give you some idea, how strong physically he was. But his brother Bhima was even more strong. And his eye could see that fly, flying over the boar’s ear; adbhut! They were great warriors, we need to remember that.

It was my great fortune, that 5-6 world champions came: it was very easy to talk with them. Discussions are different, their understanding of the matter is different, their take is different, their perspective is different. They know the meaning of hard work and they know what is focus, what is concentration.

“Guruji, I couldn’t find the passage in Shiva Purana about Ashwatthama being a Rudra incarnation.”

Guruji: “They deleted that section in the edition of Gita Press, Gorakhpur. See, here’s another example of sectarian fanaticism: since they are vaishnava and since Ashwatthama is considered a villain by vaishnavas, they deleted that passage from the text. Find the original full text; the one published by Chowkhamba is good.”

“Did they make modifications in Mahabharata as well?”

Guruji: “There have been some modifications, but not a whole lot. In the 4th chapter, Ashwatthama’s physical description is given – after Karna’s death when Duryodhan goes to him. It’s an amazing description! Sitting in Himalayas in his camp, body is like gold, Dronacharya got him after a long penance of lord Shiva, his eyes and shoulder and voice were like Shiva’s vehicle, Nandi, has curly hair, all the knowledge of vedas, etc. And his experience when he’s about to kill the Pandavas in their camp: it’s an amazing description. Just imagine, he’s still alive today!

“All incarnations of Rudra are immortal, which is a strange thing. Well, who can kill him who is everybody’s death.

“Have I told you about the end of Pandavas? Since you’ve now touched on Mahabharata, listen to this as well:

Pandavas had a major feud with Ashwatthama. Krishna also took Ashwatthama’s gem from his forehead after Vyas-ji told him to give it. The enmity that developed as a result of that gemstone was so fierce that first of all all Yadavs died. And Krishna’s death is also a mystery. One who’s entire family has died in front of his eyes, do you think he would go take a stroll in the woods? And what kind of a stupid hunter would confuse a human foot with the mouth of a deer?? It’s not possible. And then, someone who was able to tolerate such horrifying missiles and weapons (astra shastra), could he die with a simple arrow wound to his foot? It is also a mystery how he died; he was just found dead in the woods.

“Also see the calamity on Pandavas’ family and Krishna’s family: nobody was left alive after enmity developed with Ashwatthama. When Arjuna reached home after cremating all family member of Krishna he must have been terrified. Even on the way home the punishment had started: the wives of Krishna were looted by the tribal. The Pandavas were so terrified after seeing all this that as soon as they reached Indraprastha, they immediately took off. And the manner in which they left is really strange! They got rid of all their clothes, all their royal signs and paraphernalia, and put a pebble in their mouths and took off. Nowhere in the old scriptures it is mentioned that one should leave like this to die. The chapter is called “Mahaprasthanik Parva”, and if literally translated in English, it would be called, “The Great Escape”.

“After their flight, not for one instance they ever looked back. Dhristhadhumna’s death was still clear in their minds, who Ashwatthama had kicked to death and didn’t use even a single weapon to kill him; he was killed like a dog. And they ran so terrified that they didn’t even stop for water and not even to cremate the body when they started falling one by one. As a Hindu you know that without cremation or last rites, there’s no transition (gati) of the soul to the next level. And we have the proof of that: when Yudhishthir went to heaven – that must have been due to the effect of Ashwatthama’s gemstone -, he saw that all his brothers and wife were in hell.

“And look at their family: Parikshit was cursed to die by snakebite. He took all precautions and did all due diligence, even read Maha Bhagvat, but ultimately died by snakebite. And people who die by snakebite are not cremated, so even he didn’t transition over after he died. And if he had been liberated as people claim – think of this as our deduction and I’m Sherlock Holmes and you are Dr. Watson -, his son, Janmajeya, must have celebrated. Instead, he did a big yajna (sacrificial rite) to take revenge on snakes and killed thousands of them. And even then he couldn’t kill Takshak snake who had bitten Parikshit. Parikshit was also killed in the womb by Ashwatthama, he was just living on borrowed time, and ultimately died of snakebite only.

“After Janmajeya, nobody knows what happened to that family. I’ve seen people with Kaurava surname, but not with Pandava surname.

1) Mahābhārata (Vana Parva)

The story of Agastya drinking the ocean is narrated in the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata (specifically in the section where the gods ask him to help expose the Kalakeya demons hiding in the sea). In this epic it says pretty clearly:

• The asuras (demons) hid in the ocean.

• The gods approached Agastya and he drank the ocean’s waters to expose them.

• Once exposed, the gods fought and defeated the demons.

• Later the gods had to ask Vishnu or Bhagiratha to bring the waters back.

This is referenced in Mahābhārata, Book 3 (Vana Parva), Chapters ~101–105.

another example: Dronacharya and Drupada?

Guruji: they were already friends, but Drupada rejected that friendship and insulted him

if Dronacharya was in a higher state – why this situation came?

Guruji: the arrogance and ego of the person starts so many events. Dronacharya could kill him then and there – but he chose to teach him a lesson.

Just try to imagine the mentality of the warrior, who is the best disciple of Parashurama himself! And knows all celestial weapons and was the greatest warrior of that time. He was so poor that he was mixing flour in water and giving it to a son saying this is milk. He was doing nothing to make money.

That was Brahmanical thing in those days: brahmins will do nothing to make money; whatever will come on its own – they will accept. Such a warrior of this calibre was not doing it! But that insult: he was the first person who go to king and start teaching here.

but he gave the kingdom to his son?

Guruji: half of it he gave back to Drupada saying: now we are equal, now we can be friends; but Drupada started a big conspiracy to kill him. Egoistic people are insulted very easily.

From inside you – you won’t have greed also, you won’t have jealousy also: you will have nothing, that things will disappear.

in yourself; but in others?

Guruji: who cares for them?

Dronacharya was a warrior after all; when some person insults you – it’s nothing. But old friend insults you – it’s something.

ASHWATTHAMAN, KRISHNA, VYASA

“Kartum” – all the possible deeds that can be done. “Akartum”: what nobody on this planet can do, impossible. “Anyatha kartum” – if beside these two things something is left – he can also do it. These three are the direct recognition of tenth avatar. Simply assuming that “ he might be an avatar” – that is not enough. It should be expressed openly. And no avatar has ever become accusative so far.

All Shiva avatars are immortal. And they live on Earth. But they have enough power to visit any place.

what was the story about Ashwatthaman’s curse and Vyasa?

Guruji: Vyasa suggested him to do that: it is described in Skanda purana – kartik masa you go to the Rama’s bridge and take a bath there and worship Shivalingam which Rama installed. Then Shiva appeared in front of him and he was cured. Rameshwaram; usually people didn’t read books, puranas, also didn’t visit the holy places – so the legends about Ashwatthama that he are roaming around with the wound on his forehead, asking for oil to put it on - sometimes appears. But read Skanda purana: Vyasa removed the curse of Krishna – just imagine that! – within one month! And if you visit Rameshwaram temple – there is a plat: Ashwatthama’s curse was removed there. but still people believe that. Krishna cursed him for 3000 years only. That means – 2000 years before the curse ended; but it was done in 1 month time. Vyasa I think was the most powerful being there – in all history.

what was the reason for Krishna to put such a curse?

Guruji: he was knowing that Vyasa will remove it. To lead on Pandavas.

what happened with the stone?

Guruji: it was given to Draupadi. And Draupadi gave it to Yudhishthir – the eldest Pandava. That was the beginning of their end. They died a very unwarrior-like death: running away, hungry, thirsty; nothing was done for them – no last rituals, no cremation, nothing.

maybe that stone was the point which made them to became like this?

Guruji: no, the fear of Adhwatthaman. Never ever make an immortal person your enemy. You can do nothing: and he will continue to live and will remove every descendant of you as well.

but after their death – the stone must be hidden somewhere?

Guruji: there is nothing mentioned in any book, what happened with that. Maybe Ashwatthaman followed them – if we go by fictional thing.

I think he must return the jewel?

Guruji: for sure.

Q : Arjuna has situation like this?

Guruji : Arjuna’s motives are different. He’s not a right example.

Q : why so?

Guruji : he was a warrior and he was ready to kill all his family for money, property and all these things. His example is not proper.

Q : who was Arjuna in previous life? Which karma push him to this situation?

Guruji : he was the son of the king of the gods in heaven.

Q : what happens with him now? Where is he?

Guruji : very doubtful. With his birth all his father’s career was over, the heaven was taken over by king Bali and his people. Everything is lost – so we don’t know, where he is now. No longer in power.

DRAUPADI AND PANDAVAS

I was hearing somewhere that Draupadi was making some tapas to please Shiva Ji; when He finally came – she asked for the husband; but she was so afraid and agitated that she asked for the husband 5 times?

Guruji: in some places this is written, yes. But my explanation may be different – which me not be suitable for social. They were children of gods from heaven; and it is written in many places that in heaven you share everything which is there. So – they were sharing. And she was not an ordinary woman: she was born out of fire, to create the situation of the destruction for Dronacharya – but everything became just instrument in it.

again it must be someone’s involvement: as I remember they planned to create only Dhrishtadyumna?

Guruji: they were planning to create something, which will destroy Dronacharya. She also came out of it to create the proper situation.

but Drupada was not planning to have a daughter?

Guruji: the mantra has its own power.

it was his mistake or lack of knowledge of mantra?

Guruji: he simply said it to some rishis – and they were doing the fire ritual. Then two powers came.

why Krishna insisted for the battle? Kauravas and Pandavas were one family…

Guruji: but biological father of Pandavas were not their actual father. Their fathers were different gods and the legal father was someone else. Whose father is not their biological father – such problems will always follow. Now I think you will begin to understand one of the promises you have to make in receiving Kriya yoga: “I will respect a married woman – married to another man - like a mother”; so no such complications will arise because of you.

but what was the reason for killing so much people?

Guruji: property, land, money, power. Greed. Why this happens? You’re the human being – we all are human beings – and the basic instinct for every human being is: only I must survive, everybody else should die.

That instinct begins from the time when you were just a sperm and running in the dark for forming the union with the ova with million of others sperms and thinking that – only I must survive and everybody should die. That instinct subconsciously continues. This is the basic of every problem on this planet.

Kriya yoga lineage is the most mysterious in the entire world. Our first Guru is immortal, who introduced this to. And I think – He decides, who will carry on. Without His decision nothing is possible. Even some Russians asked me – who will come after? Babaji will decide, this is not my responsibility. This is not my lineage, I’m just represented it. The lineage belongs to Babaji and he will decide. We’re relaxing – but working very hard, maintain the standard.

why in Gita it is said that dharma can go down? In fourth chapter?

Guruji: people are not behaving according their agreement for the career. Then you’re making a career – even if you’re a mafia man – even they have certain conditions. If you broke them – you will be shot then. If you’re working in some private company or some government department – you will have to agree on certain conditions. And you have to follow them. If you will move aside them – you will be punished or fired. Arjuna was a warrior: he was trained all his life to be a warrior. In the last moment you cannot back out. He collected millions of people for the war and in the last moment he cannot back out.

you have to follow brahmin’s or kshatriya’s dharma?

Guruji: genetics is there. Brahmins were also warriors and they have great knowledge and wisdom also. They could kill and guide you afterlife also. Kshatriya were warriors and they were trying to rule and enjoy everything on this planet. Even now the nature is same.

BRAHMINS OR KSHATRIYA’S

why Pandavas not protect Draupadi when Duhshasana tortured her in front of them?

Guruji: their working conditions don’t allowed them to do that.

but why Bhishma or Drona didn’t protect her?

Guruji: You need to understand one thing very clearly: when president in the meeting sit quietly – no other secretary or minister has any right to say anything in between. Dhritarashtra was emperor, almighty ruler, and they all were serving him. if he is agree with something – they cannot go against him. it’s simple political rule. Try to understand the power of politics and politicians; and we cannot imagine the power of the genuine emperor, who rules over life and death. It was a court of the emperor. You cannot fight alone against almighty army. They were ruling from the peaks of Himalaya to the shores of the ocean. Their army were almighty – and Pandavas were working very hard to create the army for themselves. Alone they were good warriors – but no warrior can fight alone against the army. Only one man has been known to fight alone: it was Parashurama. He always fight alone, never creating any army. Only one assistant were serving him – that’s it. We need to visualize the whole situation of that particular time.

he was not participating in Mahabharata?

Guruji: his disciples were participating – indirectly he was involved. He created five lakes of kshatriya’s blood. He was knower of all celestial weapons, but axe was given to him by Mahadev himself; then he became Parashurama – “parashu” is name of battle axe in Sanskrit. He received it from Shiva; his real name is Rama – then he became Parashurama. You can see big parashu behind Babaji’s murti.

it was his mission?

Guruji: it became his mission. There was one great king and warrior; he visited Parashurama’s father ashram. He had a cow, which has the power to fulfill any kind of wishes – the divine cow. With the help of that cow he was able to provide any kind of luxury for the king and his army. He was simple Brahmin. The king became greedy of that cow and he tried to take her away – but couldn’t. then one day his son came and killed the father of Parashurama while he was sitting in Samadhi. When Parashurama came back from jungle his mother was weeping – and she beat her breast 21 times while crying. Then Parashurama resolved that: I will finish all warriors 21 times from this planet – which he did. He fill five lakes with the blood of Kshatriyas, offer it to his ancestor; then ancestor appeared and say: now stop, enough punishment has been given.

but he killed everyone?

Guruji: only that would able to fight – not children and not old people. Dangerous times. His father was such a powerful rishi that simply by his blessing he became immortal. The history of indian mythology is very long.

REVOLUTION AGAINST VEDAS / BE ONE WITH THE TIME

in the battle of Bhima and Duryodhana their power were equal?

Guruji: Bhima was stronger physically but Duryodhana had more skills with gada. He was also very powerful – even Dhritarashtra had the power of 10000 elephants. They were superbeings.

can we say that all Mahabharata is just display of powers of the gods and asuras, incarnated in warriors?

Guruji: it was the change over time – the heavenly gods to be removed and from raja Bali asuras ascend heaven. If there are too many warriors – it will always be war.

it exists such hidden idea in Ramayana?

Guruji: in Ramayana is very plain that Ravana was going everywhere to win and he actually won all the worlds – all heavenly gods were defeated by him. Even Rama’s ancestor was killed by him in a single combat – and he cursed him, that my descendant will kill you. It was the duty of Rama to kill him. Quotation from “Scorpion king”: this is the destiny of all kingdoms – it end one day.

was Ravana defeated by someone?

Guruji: only by the disciple and by Kartavirya Arjuna. Bali was too powerful for him – his children defeat him. Ravana was the grand-grand son of the creator: Pulastya was the son of the creator, Pulastya’s son was Vaishravana rishi, and Vaishravana rishi’s son was Ravana and Kubera – and others also.

can we compare them by force?

Guruji: Scanda is Scanda, no match. But he was born much after. Daksha yagya was after Rama and Ravana, between Rama and Krishna avataras. Scanda and Ganesha was born after Ravana.

That time was of superpowers and too much powers; that situation was not appropriate for human beings to survive. Maybe now it’s evolution or some special situation, created for human beings. Too much warriors will always have wars. Some kind of different discipline will be introduced: because astral beings, heavenly gods – they all mixing up freely.

what do You think – for all that beings, who was live before humans – there was no yoga discipline?

Guruji: yoga discipline started from Shiva, no other gods were having any yoga discipline. Shiva is supposed to be the foremost and the first yogi and Guru of yoga. Out of compassion He gave yoga to human beings. Remember, the home of Shiva is smashan, and only the human beings are cremated. He was carrying for us. Many mysterious things are involved here – so we can understand.

See the link: the creator was so arrogant to told the useless things for Shiva - and Shiva make Kalabhairav appear. Kalabhairav cut the fifth head of the creator – then the battle for creation begin. Creator was forced to marry his granddaughter to Kalabhairav; Kalabhairav and Shankar are the same. Then the conflict continue and the climax was the destruction of Daksha yagya – all heavenly gods were given the severe beating. All the chain of events up to Krishna - they all finish vedic gods and ghosts and spirits took over.

why Dronacharya – such a great being, great warrior and magician, could not create the peaceful situation..

Guruji: peaceful situation is extremely boredom. We need some activity to occupy this.

he was the real friend of king Drupada?

Guruji: when they were students they were friends.

so he deliberately create the situation of that war?

Guruji: it was the arrogance of Drupada, which was the root of this conflict. When you’re a warrior – you will become arrogant after some time, when you killed many.

but Dronacharya could create the kingdom himself?

Guruji: you see – that’s the beauty of brahmins: they were almighty powerful but they still chose to live most humble situation to keep their ego in balance. This was the challenge from the beginning. He was might enough to do it and he was my ancestor.

is it possible situation that Arjuna avoid the battle?

Guruji: he was trained all his life for battle. It was just the emotional outburst for the short time – he was preparing for this battle all his life. Just before starting he supposed to have some emotions, nothing much.

when Arjuna saw Krishna in the form of the whole Universe – he was in Samadhi state?

Guruji: no, he just said – I’ll giving you the divine eyes so you can see my form – that’s it. It was grace from Krishna, not Samadhi.

Bhishma was one of the ruler of one of directions of Earth, Vasu. His Guru was Parashurama, his mother was river Ganges – he was divine person. Without his will nobody could kill him also – he was very powerful.

and Parashurama killed all Kshatriyas?

Guruji: 21 times.

Bhishma was kshatriy or Brahmin?

Guruji: he was beyond that. He was sort of kshatriy – but he was half divine. Parashurama was his Guru – he never taught Kshatriyas, but he accepted Bhishma as disciple. Parashurama is immortal and now he’s waiting for Kalki appearing – he will be his Guru. He will give him more knowledge of celestial weapons and other things – the secret of immortality as well. Then Ashwatthaman and Kripacharya will assist Kalki. This is the story – he will kill all the bad persons in entire face of Earth, give the Earth to brahmins and go back to do some tapas. If such a person will become immortal - the earthlings will remain disciplined all the time. Main work of Parashurama is to teach or give weapons to avatars: he gave weapons to Krishna and Balarama also, he gave his mighty bow to Rama also – his work is different.
