arjun represents the soul which is enlightend by the paramaatman himself, that's why arjun is the hero, cause through him, we have got geeta.

I always wondered about this, thought on this and pondered a lot over why 'Arjun' is the hero, here during the same time, greater men with greater virtue existed.. This post of yours gave me an insight to why is Arjun the hero!

The last lines..

This clearly explains the reason..May be he is considered to be the representation of all human beings where one is thought to devout oneself completely to Lord. Surrendering yourself to God is the biggest challenge in a person's life. For you tend to fall into the tempations and relations in this material world but to overcome is truly a great achievement. This further explains to me on why Lord himself was his mentor and best friend. When you keep God above all then God himself will help you in your life and your relationship with others.

lovely Post ...I must say it is thought provoking ...Arjuna is definitely the hero of Mahabharatha and the most celebrated warrior of the era...He was impulsive , Harsh ,proud and arrogant ...I personally like his grey shades ...But at the same time his concentration ,razor sharp focus ,love and respect towards family and brothers are very commendable...We relate most to him because he is most human character of MB he has pride attitude and valor but at the same time the most courageous warrior who could win the world with Krishna on his side decided to surrender everything if the cost of being victorious was slaying his own kinsmen...Whatever he has acheived right from his childhood was with his might and sheer hardwork ...I would say from Gaandeev to having Krishna on his side he has proved his mettle to achieve everything .He is an austere warrior a very rare combination ...He has composed Durga stuti at the same time slayed ocean of soldiers and Maharathis alone .I would say a one man army...Then he has resisted that celestial nymph who can entice austere sages...Many say he had things easy I would say he had performed though penance to impress Indradeva also ...He had attained the diademn by proving his might...He has conquered Novatakavachas and Paulomas and fought the illusions .But the most glorious moments of his life were when his gaandeev slipped from his hand facing his kinsmen ..He is the reason for exsistance of Geeta hadn't he represented the mankind and clarified his doubts we would never have Geeta ...

Hey,I have never really commented on this forum about Arjun.. But your post is so well written that I could not help but appreciate..👏for me the reason why Arjun is considered hero in Mahabharat is in these lines..'Arjuna shows us that while we can admire a person's loyalty to their friend, loyalty to their family and dedication to their principles and promises ... all of these things must never be allowed to become an obstacle in doing what is truly for the benefit of the greater good.'

This is an extraordinary post. Thanks for such a lovely post. Indeed thought provoking. To me Arjun was the most human character of Mahabharat and a good human being. This quality is very rare. He is indeed a hero! And that is why, his Han qualities made him the bearer to the Geeta. See, all the words in the Geeta are actually our own. Krishna is in us. And Arjun, having a balance of all kinds of character traits, was the chosen one. He was emotional at times, angry at times, irritated and unmindful at times, dedicated and focused at times, and the best at times. A hero should always learn to express when needed, which Arjun did very brilliantly. Your post is very very well written. I am not saying being a fan of Shaheer or Arjun, but by reading it, you have successfully proved your point.

Good analysis of Arjun as a hero, but if by saying HERO of MB, one means the main protagonist of the story, then I feel actually Yudhishtira is the one. MB when you look at it in detail is the evolution of Yudhishtira, his ideals, his mistakes in the name of dharma and his repentance, and finally after all the trials and tribulations, his final test and his rise to the heavens in his human form. Arjun is the perfect complement to Yudhishtira - Arjun is the karma yogi and Yudshistira, the gyana yogi.

I do agree that Arjuna was Krishna's favorite because of his unconditional surrender to the Lord, his other faults notwithstanding.
