What does that say?

They were not Indians, there was no India at the time. It was about cousins killing cousins and other relatives, an estate battle.
Arjuna pleaded with Krishna for help, so he did by being his charioteer. Arjuna got to see Krishna in his Cosmic Awesomeness. They all died by the way, including Krishna. He was shot by a hunter, I think.


The Indians with the British is a very different story. It is history not mythology. Both have lessons though.
Mahabharata (the Great War) - Everything that is born dies in the end.
India's independence from the British - A son of India is now the Prime Minister of England. Pretty nice work by Krishna, I think.

And they are not Indians. They are Hindus.

Just to sum up.
There is only one Maha mantra.

That is Hare Krishna mantra.
Not Hare Vishnu. Not Hare Brahma. Not Hare Shiva or Ganesh or else.
It is Hare KRISHNA.


Namaste


Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare



Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity. When we hear the transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived [...] This chanting of 'Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare' is directly enacted from the spiritual platform, and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciousness – namely sensual, mental, and intellectual [...] As such anyone can take part in the chanting without any previous qualification.


(please, recall, what I said about Consciousness being the ultimate and final beginning of all beginnings and giving function to everything. Here you go. Krishna is nothing more, than that Consciousness)

Thank you for proving my point because now everyone can see the battle was even more worthless and useless than I pointed out.

Worthless to those who only know pulp fiction or cartoons with stick figures, materialists. To others it is a treasure trove of literature and always current, always fresh. The Bhagavad Gita (which appears in the epic, for those who learn everything from the internet) is a source os inspiration for people allover the world and translated in several languages.

Repped you.
Bhagavat Gita" is one of the most priceless artifacts of the human civilization. Of course, unless you try to read it as comics book.

To be honest, I expected more. After previous page volume on Hinduism.....

Well, I'd rest assured that I managed to show that KRSHNA is the ultimate as pure Consciousness.


Hare KRSHNA


Namaste
