Dhritarashtra asked Sanjaya to narrate the incidents at Kurukshetra with the Devine vision he got by the blessings of VedVyas.Sanjaya told him how Yudhishtir walked to Pitamah GuruDron and Kripa and sought their blessings. All the three wished him victory in war. The blind king was miffed and said. ' I know Sanjay they are fighting on our side but they wish well for Pandavas.Now tell me the war happenings.Dharma Kshetre Kurukshetre Samaveta ...Mamakah Pandavachaiva Kimakurvata Sanjaya" Sanjay concentrated and described thus.' Maharaj Listen to me what I had been fortunate to witness ,the conversation between Krishna and Arjun..." Krishna drove the chariot to the middle of the armies to enable Arjun see both the sides. Ofcourse he did it on the behest of Arjun.But what happened then? History had been created in that crucial moment. Arjun looked at his Pitamah,GuruDron and others with concern and kindness He looked at his friend who is rock steady in his driver seat.He placed his hand on his shoulder as if to gain support.Arjun said in a feeble voice.' Drishtvaimam ... Madhav,My body is shivering and my mouth dries up on seeing my relatives and friends who are gearing up for war.My skin is burning Gandiv is slipping from my hand.I can't even stand.Na Cha Sreyonu pasyami...I can't understand Madhav what benefit I will have by killing my own people.I don't even desire the pleasures of kingdom.Madhav I see my Pitamah GuruDron my cousins and others standing against me . Even though they want to kill me I don't want to kill them.The lure of three worlds also can't make me fight.If I kill my wicked cousins,I incur sin.How can I be happy after killing my own people? If our clan is lost our tradition will get lost.If Dhritarashtra's sons kill me it is fine.I am ready to die Madhav,but I won't fight." Arjun collapsed in his seat throwing away Gandiv and quivers.He is sad. He is confused. He is indecisive.Krishna looked at his dearest Parth who is in need of him.Yes the moment has arrived. His soulmate should be enlightened...Panchali who sat in meditation opened her eyes.She wondered why her mind is restless.Why she feels her heart tugged in pain.What is happening in battlefield? Arjun.. Is he fine? Some instinct tells her he is not fine. Then what happened? The commencement of war is indicated by war drums. But that is not heard.Panchali got up walked to the window and looked at the Sun that already advanced in full vigour. He Govind Guide him well. He needs you." Panchali's prayer reached her Govind who smiled at his emotional cousin,friend,devotee and stood in the chariot spreading his splendour all around.

Krishna looked at Arjun with affection and compassion.He then asked showering his grace on Arjun.' Kutastva kasmalamidam Vishame Samupasthitam." Jishnu,From where did you get such despicable thought? It will bring I'll fame to you.You have to fight at any cost." Arjun nodded his head with impatience.' No. I won't fight Madhav.Look at him. He is my Pitamah. In my childhood I used to climb into his lap with dirty feet. He never scolded me. He pampered me like I was his own son. How can I shoot him with an arrow? I see no pleasure in that. And my Guru?
He loved me more than his own son Aswathama. How can I wound him? And my foolish cousins. How can I send them to the land of death? No way. Never." Arjun firmly stated his feelings and became silent. He has tears in his eyes.Krishna spoke with a strange calmness that Arjun never saw before.' You mourn for those who are already dead? Do you think there was ever a time when you were not there or I was not there? You think with death all those kings cease to exist?Never.Every one is always there in Eternity."
Arjun did not get convinced.' Let them have it all. I don't like to eat blood stained food. Madhav don't persuade me to fight. I won't." Arjun looked into Krishna's eyes and found them deep like ocean and distant as he never felt before.Arjun persisted.' I can not fight. I am confused. I don't know what my dharma is.Karpanya Doshopahata Swabhavah Prichami Tvam Dharma Sammodha chetah. I lost my peace of mind. I was disillusioned.Madhav,Guide me further.Instruct me my dharma.I can't decide by myself.But I remind you I can not kill my Elders for selfish reasons." Arjun took resort to silence having said thus.The future of Aryavartha hung in balance.If Arjun refuses to fight the Devine plan set by Krishna to reduce the burden of earth will not get fulfilled.Krishna took Arjun's hand into his.' Parth listen to me.Happiness and Sorrow will come after one another like winter and Summer.An intelligent person should not grieve both,Such a person surely deserves to get Moksha.Soul never perishes. No one can destroy a soul.But body will get destroyed by all means,If you keep that in mind you will realise that you are not killing the soul.Vasansi Jeernani Yatha Vihaya..Just like we leave old clothes and wear new clothes soul will change into another body.Nainam chindanti sastrani...Soul can not be pierced by any weaponIt can not be burnt by fire.It can not be drenched by water It can not be swept by wind." Arjun stared at his friend trying to grasp the essence of his words.

Since today is valentine Day I thought it apt to present a valentine day Episode keeping aside Geeta Gyan a bit. So let us have a flash back and enthrall ourselves in ARDI love... Arjun looked frustrated.' You never try to understand what I am going through. Twelve years I left her to her fate and drifted apart. I married Arya,Chitra and your sister. Not to forget the one who is partially responsible to break my vow of Brahmacharya and you know who she is." Arjun stressed the last words and Krishna smiled.' Ofcourse I know who she is. She is your redeemer Ulupi." Arjun knitted his eyebrows and asked.' Redeemer? How?" Krishna explained patiently. ' Yes Parth. I must say she is your redeemer.When you took on pilgrimage for breaking the vow you were totally shattered.Depressed within inside. Though you put up a brave front and left Indraprasth you could not reconcile with the fact that you have to be away from your love from your Krishnaa for such a long time.Am I not correct?" Arjun honestly confessed.' Yes Madhav. I was heartbroken. I blamed myself for sharing Krishnaa with my brothers. I know how much she loved me from the very first moment of our face off. I spent sleepless nights wondering what must she be doing staying away from me.I got angry with my Eldest and you know why.But..I was helpless and committed to my brother." Krishna again smiled and teased his friend.' You know Parth for every problem there will be a solution.And Ulupi was god sent.She helped you unleash your fury your passion and your distress. Otherwise you would not have reconciled with your fate and that would have resulted in breaking the unity of The Five Brothers." Arjun reminisced the moments he spent with Ulupi. He was aggressive,careless,unconcerned in fulfilling her desire. But she did not complain.She bore every thing with a smile and enjoyed the moment.After that night he felt relaxed and stress free.He looked at Krishna and admitted.' Fine. I agree she was my redeemer.But why are you diverting the topic? I am worried how to cajole my wife to forgive me and accept me. As much as I try I failed in winning her heart again.You know But a small ray of hope is there as I found her react positively when I touched her hand." Krishna assured.' Relax Parth,Draupadi can not ignore you for a long time.You both are meant for each other.Let us see if tonite during the lavish dinner arranged for the prominent people of Indraprasth if you can interact privately with your Yagya Seni." Arjun could not help but exclaim.' What! The dinner is given in honour of your Bhrata Balram and Revati Didi who brought gifts and presents. And what do you think Subhadra will do,if she finds me missing when we both are meant to be together. Madhav,sometimes your ideas will sound wierd and impractical to me. " Arjun desparately tried to make his friend sensible enough to realise the absurdity of his plans. But Krishna is adamant and unrelenting. He simply struck to his word.' I tell you again. I am hopeful of your stint with my Sakhi. Remaining depends on your skill and charm . I am sure the most desirable warrior of Aryavarth can melt the heart of his most beautiful wife. " Arjun understood the taunt and smiled finally accepting the challenge. His hazel eyes mirrored his love and passion for his Krishnaa and Krishna smiled with understanding.

Indraprasth is lavishly decorated for the reception in honour of Balaram and Revati and Ofcourse the newly weds Arjun and Subhadra.The grand dinner is about to start and Panchali is too busy looking after the arrangements. Bheemsen took special interest in getting many tasty recipes prepared along with the favourite milk sweets of Yadavas. But Draupadi bears the responsibility of arranging proper seats for the esteemed guests. On the stage the two Simhasanas are kept decorated with gems and flowers. Subhadra just entered along with Revati and got onto her seat on the stage. As for Arjun he is busy chatting with the guests who are too excited to interact with him as he was away from Indraprasth.Krishna approached Draupadi and commented.' You know Sakhi,The guests are confused regarding the bride. Luckily Subhadra sat on the Dias. Otherwise you both look like Parth's new brides." Panchali replied sharply.' I wonder in what way I am looking his bride. I hardly had time to get ready as lunch was extended and continued further. After that immediately I attended on the kitchen work.Govind the bride is looking every bit ravishing.Who will think otherwise?" Krishna smiled and continued .' You know technically speaking you are still the bride for Parth.Am I wrong?" Panchali's face turned red.' Your friend has no deficit for brides. Arya,Chitra,Ulupi,Subhadra and the list continues.He doesn't need to bother about his first wife." Having said so Panchali politely took leave and proceeded towards the maids.Arjun asked Krishna,' What is going on? What did she say?" Krishna replied laughing.' She is counting your brides and getting ready to welcome more." Arjun understood his friend's hint.So she is still hurt and offended. How could he convince her? His face became dull and Krishna patted on his shoulder.' Be bold. You will definitely get a chance." He assured.As the dinner is about to commence Krishna told Revati something seriously and after discussing with Balaram Revati went to Kunti and said.' Bua as we can not take her to Dwaraka for Patphere We will take her tonite to our mansion and send her day after tomorrow.That way was approved by your preceptor also." Kunti agreed and accepted the suggestion.After the dinner is over Balaram and Revati took Subhadra to their mansion.Arjun understood who is behind this. His Madhav.He did his thing. Now he should do his part.Satya told Panchali Krishna and herself would like to spend some time with her on the terrace of her mansion before going for sleep.Panchali could not say no though she is tired and exhausted.She ordered Malini to make arrangements and went to her chamber to change her attire.After taking bath she wore simple clothes and went to the terrace. There is no trace of Krishna or Satya. The moonlit night is soothing and cool . The jasmines and Malati flowers are filling up the surroundings with their fragrance.Malini arranged white silky cushions with Takiyas. Panchali who is too tired lied down relaxingly thinking of Krishna and Satya.' Why did they not come? Did they change their plan? They must be tired and could not come." Panchali wanted to get up and go down but suddenly she felt two masculine arms surround her waist preventing her from getting up.Before she could react Arjun pushed her curls back and whispered.' Krishnaa please forgive me." Panchali looked into his hazel eyes brimming with passion and love.She asked though in a soft tone.' Why did you come here? Oh. I forgot. Your Subhadra went to her brother . So you have enough time to persuade me. Right? " Arjun's face became serious.' Think what you want. I can not convince you anymore.Believe it or not. I came every day. I watched you in sleep and went off. If you want you can check with Malini." Panchali asked him.' Why? You left me purposely for twelve years. You intentionally broke the vow.To get out of Indraprasth,to move away from me. Now you came with your new bride to prove the fact again.That you don't need me at all." Arjun got up and walked to the railing.He said as if he is talking to himself.' Yes. I broke the vow intentionally. I can't live like a stranger to my wife whom I loved and won. It tortures me.I went off. I married again and again. But I was not able to forget your lotus eyes.They haunted me,lured me,blamed me,but never left me not even when I was with my wives.I agree. I am selfish. I did not think about your plight. Krishnaa punish me if you want. But not with your silence. It kills me." Arjun looked back and saw her hiding her face in her knees. He understood she is crying by the heaving of her shoulders.He sat beside her and hugged her.He murmured in a broken voice.' Love you Krishnaa,I will love you till I breathe my last." Panchali looked up and closed his mouth from uttering more.' I hate you Arjun," She kept her head on her knees and sobbed.Arjun insisted.' I accept. But call my name again." Panchali looked into his eyes and admitted.' I hate you. But I can not stop myself from loving you. I hate myself. You are my weakness." Arjun smiled disarmingly.' Please hate me always but don't stop loving me. I live by that truth." He made her lie on the cushion and took her beautiful face in his hands.' Krishnaa you are mine. My own. Let me feel your passionate love and float in the nectar of bliss." Panchali blushed and submitted herself to her Arjun and made him mesmerised and enamoured. ...Panchali who closed her eyes reminiscing her past suddenly got up as Malini came and informed. ' The war did not commence yet Princess. Every one is waiting for Rajkumar Arjun and Govind to blow the signal." Panchali looked at her dazed and confused.
