Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 11, Verse 34 (for Reader Prashant's Appreciation)

Submitted by Robert (United States), Oct 28, 2022 at 16:11

Dear (Reader) Prashant (USA & India),

As I reminded you previously, most Westerners only know about your great Mahatma Gandhi, who was a Pacifist, which India could afford because of its huge population. But Westerners are misled by this fact and are unaware of the existence of the God of War in the Hindu scriptures. And this gives India and its Hindus the capacity to confront contemporary Militant Islam (Islamism) in kind.

Accordingly I quote here below from your Hindu sacred text:

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 11, Verse 34:

"BG 11.34: Dronacharya, Bheeshma, Jayadratha, Karn, and other brave warriors have already been killed by Me. Therefore, slay them without being disturbed. Just fight and you will be victorious over your enemies in battle."
