It is pretty clear that Bhishma possessed a misguided sense of Dharma!

It is this blindness that makes him abduct the three princesses. It is this blindness that makes him a mute spectator to Draupadi's disrobing. It is this blindness that makes him tolerate every atrocity committed by the Kauravas. It is this blindness that makes him fight against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra war. And in the end, it is the final consequence of this blindness that Krishna calls out in the Bhagavad Gita (11.34):

Dronanca Bhishmanca Jayadrathanca|
Karnam Tathaanyaanapi Yodhaveeraan||
Mayaa Hantaanstvam Jahi Maa Vyatishtitaa|
Yudhyasva Jetaaasi Saptanaan||

Slay Drona, Bhishma, Jayadratha, Karna, and other great warriors who are already killed by Me|
Do not be distressed, fight, and you will surely conquer your enemies in battle.

This verse simply means that Krishna"God himself"had recognized that this was to be Bhishma's ultimate for siding with Adharma (injustice, non-righteousness, etc) and that Arjuna's duty was to merely put an end to Bhishma's physical body.

(Thanks a lot for sharing this verse from Bhagavad Gita Srujadi🤗)

Right and wrong could be subjective at times. Seeing things in hindsight it is easier to judge. If people could foresee the future as Krishna seems to be able to do (tri-kaal darshi) they would perhaps behave differently. 😊

shikandi was one of the reasons for this death.
I'll explain the story if anyone is interested.

Bhishma wasn't wrong in doing what his Raja Mata wanted him to. And Krishna did not kill Bhishma. It was Amba who took a rebirth as Shikandi due to some tapas she did after the rejection and vowed to kill him :)

to be short guys that is my personal view that beeshma thou was wrong his blind love towards his father had laid him to this regarding his death no one killed him he had eicha mrityu vardaan in short he promised his father that when he will see that hastinapur is in secure hands n will no not require his services he will die n when pandavas won completely in Mahabharata then he died on his shar shaiya which was due to amba AKA shikhandi n arjun . So in short no one killed Bheeshma guys plz look at the second episode you will recover every thing

It can be taken in a broader way that whatever happens in the universe does so as per God's (Krishna's) will. Arjuna was just a tool to carry out what was already pre ordained. Lord Krishna showed his Virat roopa to Arjuna where the whole cosmos was contained within Him. God is beyond space-time.

since we're on the topic would like to add that Krishna's talisman in the end of the episode makes the show more meaningful.
i wish someone could compile it in thread
or the VM makers can wrap it in a VM too.
someone can also open a thread for detailed discussion on his teachings.

thanks.

But I wish SRJ should speak with more gravity in his voice as the sutradhar Krishna.
