We all now the outcome of the war between Pandavas and kauravs.The Pandavs won but it was only because Krishna was with them. If Krishna wasnt on their side then they couldnt not win the war..he helped them because theyre were on the side of dharm. Am curious what the thoughts are from tge mahabharatforum waasis..

Well, Krishna was a non-combatant on the Pandava side, so not of much use, aside from strategizing. But the Kauravas had the overwhelming advantage - 11 akshaunis vs the Pandava 7, and also, every major warrior was on their side - Bheeshma, Drona, Kripa, Ashwatthama, Karna, Shalya and more.

Had it just been the 100 Kauravas vs the 5 Pandavas, Bhima alone would have wiped them out. The Kauravas were cowards who didn't have the guts to fight w/o outsiders on their side, including stolen ones like Shalya. Whereas on the Pandava side, it was Bhima & Arjun who did the heavy lifting, w/ some backup from Satyaki, and while alive, Abhimanyu & Ghatotkacha.

Krishna was a walking talking intel service that seemed to be available to the Pandavas during wartime almost 24X 7. He somehow knew about every weakness and strengths of almost every major opponent of theirs. He was also a very accomplished warrior himself and a strategist par excellence. He is said to have also had the knowledge about past, present and future events. Having such an ally on one's side even without actve participation as a combatant would obviously turn the tides in one's favour!

Krishna supported Pandavas as they were on side of Dharma .
