kurukshektra...the great battle field, which has seen the vishwa roopa darshnam of vishnu 3 times!!
dhridharastra raja was a blind person, he couldn't be present in the battle field, so he asks sanjay to narrate to him the course of the battle...sanjay narates the battle, when he also narrates bhagavad gita. hence gita is a dialogue between sri krishna and arjuna told by sanjay to dhridharashtra. this came as a surprise to me when i started gita, i was conceived gita to be a first hand dialogue when i read i realised it was a narration by sanjay.
so in the very first chapter, sanjay just discribes of how everybody is standing in the battle field, and where they are all placed. he mentiones everybody and also their relationshiops among them. i dont quite remember most of it, gimme a days time let me go through them and then come back to write...
well... so the ppl who are placed right in front of arjuna is the caue of his down fall....his own kith and kin!
here in the first chapter we will be refreshed with the relationshipd ppl share on the battle field and what is the situation evrybody is in. then by the end of the chapter the 'shunk' will be blown... to begin the fight... just then..arjuna stops...
