KashiHOST
The whole story became very bad, and the whole war took place just because of that.
KashiHOST
If Dhritarashtra was a good king, if he did what he knew was right to do, And everybody told him that, including Bishma and Drona and many other people came and told him, you have to restrain your son.
KashiHOST
You have to restrain Duryodhana.
KashiHOST
This is evil.

Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami MaharajaHOST
One Dronacharya was teaching the sons of Pandu and Dhritarashtra, that is, Yudhisthira, Arjuna, Bhim, Nakusha, Dev and Duryodhana.
Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami MaharajaHOST
He told, I am giving lesson for tomorrow.

And for this time, it was well that they should assiduously prepare themselves.
S.K. EdisonNARRATOR
There lived at the court of King Dhritarashtra an old man named Drona, who had trained many princes in the art of war.
S.K. EdisonNARRATOR
One day, this man went to the king and begged him to call the princes together to a great tournament, in order that they might display their skill and prove which was the most powerful and enduring.
S.K. EdisonNARRATOR
The blind old king eagerly consented, instructed Drona to measure out the tournament ground without delay, and gave orders for the erection of stately white pavilions by the side of a green meadow at the edge of the jungle.
S.K. EdisonNARRATOR
The festival was proclaimed far and wide, and a great crowd of nobles and common people gathered to watch the feats of arms, for they knew that if archer Arjuna and his brave brothers were to be present at the tournament, the eyes of all would be delighted and the hearts of all would be deeply stirred by the skill and bravery of the famous warrior and his brothers.
S.K. EdisonNARRATOR
It will be noted that the five tall sons of Pandu had won the favor of the Kurus by their quiet acceptance of the second place in the kingdom and by their uncomplaining endeavor to perfect themselves in all manly exercises instead of grumbling about their lot.

The passion of the princes rose as the fight proceeded, the people surrounding the lists took sides, and the combat which began as a friendly trial of skill seemed likely to become a battle to the death.

R. BalasubramaniamGUEST
Look at the way he starts off.
R. BalasubramaniamGUEST
His own mentor, his own guru is very callous about him while describing him in the first chapter when he, uh, looks at Drona.
R. BalasubramaniamGUEST
And then he still brings in the fact that he trained Dhris- Dhrishtadyumna and, you know, the way he, the, he brings in, uh, the context of his son, the Draupadi s- uh, Draupad's son- Yes ... and, you know, all these things he brings in the conversation.
R. BalasubramaniamGUEST
Then he boasts saying that, "I have such a powerful army." That is actually a expression of insecurity.
Michael JamesGUEST
So w- when they finally came on the battlefield, Arjuna was overwhelmed by the, uh, the, the consequences [laughs] of what was about to happen.
Michael JamesGUEST
That is in the opposite army was his beloved grandfather, Bhishma; his, uh, beloved guru, Dronacharya; his own, um, um, v- very close relatives were there.
Michael JamesGUEST
Almost everyone, all the main characters in the opposite army were people who were very close to him from childhood, and he had to fight them.
Michael JamesGUEST
So it was a great dilemma for him.

Balaji RamaswamyHOST
that he is fighting a righteous war and that he needs to kill his enemies, he has to establish dharma and others.
Balaji RamaswamyHOST
Then what happens? The moment he saw Bhishma and Drona, he started arguing that this is not a righteous war.
Balaji RamaswamyHOST
Because what happens? The desire, the attachment to control, it covered his intellect and made the intellect talk according to the desire that he had.
Balaji RamaswamyHOST
So at that point of time, what happens? He sees whatever is right as wrong, whatever is wrong as right.

SrikanthHOST
And it's very interesting.
SrikanthHOST
As I was doing research about your work, I couldn't but kind of call this particular piece out, Sanjeeva, which was the Ekalavya to Dronacharya moment.
SrikanthHOST
If you know what I mean, you started as a person with no formal teacher, learning purely by watching.
SrikanthHOST
And the award that recognizes your coaching now carries the name of the guru from the Ekalavya story, that's Dronacharya.
SrikanthHOST
Do you think about your own journey in those terms? And if so, what's the part of that story people usually get wrong or they don't have a full understanding of it?
Sanjeeva SinghGUEST
See, the journey from being an archer to becoming a coach, It's a difficult phase.
