One of the golden lessons of Mahabharat...


Like we all already know ... the Kauravas who may have had a softer side for themselves ... were termed adharmi's because of the various torturous vicious games they played throughout their lives which finally outweighed everything else ... they were just left with no alternative ... karma had to get them somehow!


But there is probably a very important lesson to be learnt here ... in the Kurushetra war the Kauravas as a team lacked unity ... they had Bhishma, Drona, Karna ... on paper they were pretty much invincible ... its shows your team might have the biggest of warriors but if they are not united and they don't see eye to eye ... a victory may seem impossible ...


Maybe it was Lord Krishna's leela to have Shalya on the side of the Kauravas to create a further rift between the Kauravas ... destroying their will power to an extend ... mind games also play their a part in the bigger picture ... if you spend most of the time demeaning and fighting within it starts to eat away your team spirit ... pieces just keep falling off ... and there is a point where you feel mentally unstable and defeated ...


Just like a soccer match ... you may have the biggest of names on your team but if a team doesn't play as a unit in coordination they lose focus of the ultimate goal ... which is scoring the goal ... instead they start playing their individual games ... for their individual fame!


Whereas, Lord Krishna on the panadavas side always kept them grounded and united ... he was indeed the best team player anyone could ask for ... he always gave them a moral boost whenever needed ... guidance whenever they were unsure ... blessed them with the luck factor ... grounded them to ensure their confidence never turned into overconfidence!


The golden lesson here ... we can emerge victorious only through a unit of combined effort ... UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL !!!

Yes, TJ
Also, the Pandavs were fewer and had a smaller army but they were not only united but had a common mission

The Kaurav army had many stalwarts but each had their own agenda to prove

Bhishma wanted to defend Hastinapur but in his heart supported the Pandavs

Drona wanted to kill Drupad and support his son

Karna wanted to kill Arjun

Except, Dury, no one really cared about their whole army or team...

Great post.
Individual goals were what work for the Kauravas during the Dice Game and that was the same thing that worked against them in the war. All those warriors were quiet during the dyut sabha because Shakuni has used their personal agendas to support his actions and Duryodhan's revenge what the Kauravas failed to understand that these warriors will still support their personal agendas when it came to protecting them as well.

Pandavas on the other hand had always been a unit even before they met lord Krishna. Though Krishna was the charioteer of their souls. He guided them on the path of Dharma and never let them become overconfident in their abilities. The Pandavs put each other before themselves. Arjun took a backseat when bheem has to fulfill his vows. They made a strategy and stuck to it. And shared the blame when something went wrong rather than pointing fingers at each other like the Kauravas.

Great post...
Unity is very important before achieving anything big.
Kunti was an intelligent woman and despite her flaws, made sure that her sons remain united.
She loved Nakul n Sahadev equally, n thus ensured unity and unflinching loyalty amongst them.

I appreciate the unity part, but without The sutradhari Sri Krishna, pandavas would have been no where.
