Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the historical and practical context of Shri Krishna's role in the Mahabharata, clarifying that Shri Krishna was not necessarily in the best position to fight the war himself. He explains that Shri Krishna moved toward the southwest to Dwarka to avoid a hostile environment, while Hastinapur remained the central power with the largest army and resources. He emphasizes that a wise and compassionate being acts for the general welfare of the masses and the relief of others' misery once they have no personal desires left. Acharya Prashant further notes that in the field of nature, no human being is omnipotent or supernatural, including Shri Krishna as a human being. He describes Shri Krishna as a person doing the maximum possible within the natural constraints of human life to prevent suffering and ensure the welfare of the population.
