What message Shri Krishna gave us in his life and what we can learn from them to live a better life today.

• When Karna said to Krishna that Duryodhana should be king because he is son of king. Then Krishna said why is it necessary that always a king son should be king, a king can be king based on his ability, you are also king, but you are not a son of king. This teaches us that even you are born as richest person still you need to fight for your part, and you need to earn your dignity.

• During war between Kauravas and Pandava Krishna decided fight with Bhishma because Arjuna was not fighting with full potential, because blood relation with Bhishma. Then Arjuna asked Krishna why are breaking your promise for not fight in this war. Krishna said to Arjuna, I am breaking my promise of not fight to support truth. Wich shows a mirror to Bhishma as Bhishma was supporting wrong and nonethical just to full fill his promise, Bhishma was just fighting because he was bound with a promise which he took long time ago. It means a promise is of no use if it means to encourage wrong and nonethical. We should break the promises if it is not for correct reason. Most of the people who were fighting in support of Duryodhana was bound with promises., which thy should break to support truth. Here we are learning that in life many times we take a decision which might be good at that time but not be good for current society, it is possible that promises we are taking today tomorrow there will be different circumstances, so based on the situation we should change our decisions. It is possible today there are no crime so one has decided not to fight any one but tomorrow there can be too much crime in society so we should change the decisions if it really required.

• When arjuna saw on battlefield that his own uncle teacher and brothers are in opposition he was not able encouraged himself to fight in the battle. Then Krishna said this fight is not with you and your uncle or with your brothers. This fight between good and bad. This fight is for Draupadi, this fight is for providing rights to correct people. You need to think about your current role, you were very good in your relationship and obeying your elders, but this is battlefield, and you know you are fighting for good. Here we learned that we should work on current role with full heart, we should stop focusing on the other roles. Or in simple we should do exactly what is required at that moment instead of focusing on other things.
