Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 78

 Chapter 18 verse 78               

“Wherever there is Shree Krishna, the Lord of all Yoga, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be unending opulence, victory, prosperity, and righteousness. Of this, I am certain.” 

This is the final sloka of the Bhagavat Gita in which a definitive conclusion is made by Sanjaya, the narrator about the outcome of the war and side of the victors. Considering that the kaurava army was far more powerful and larger than the pandava army and that the prediction was made to the emperor on the side of Kauravas, it was indeed a bold prediction by Sanjaya. However Sanjaya was driven by his conviction that where there is God and His devotee, that side cannot lose. The side of God is the side of virtue, truth, both material and spiritual opulence and hence victory has to happen. Likewise in life, as devotees of the Supreme Lord, we need to be on His side by leading a virtuous, truthful and good spirited life and be constantly on the path of spiritual bliss. I am extremely humbled by the opportunity to reflect on the great teaching of Bhagavat Gita over the last 18 months. All praise be to the Supreme Bhagawan!!! “Kaayena Vaacha Manasa Indriyehi va, buddhi atmanava prakruthe svabhavath karomi yadyath sakalam parasmy narayana ithi samarpayami- All my actions performed by body, speech, mind, senses, intellect and soul-soul and my inherent vasanas are surrendered in the Divine feet of the Supreme Lord Narayana and let Him Bless us with His GRACE”.
