The Despondency of Arjuna
















This image represents the opening of the Bhagavad Gita in the Mahabharata: Arjuna is ready to kick butt in the impending Battle of Kurukshetra and asks his cousin and charioteer Krishna (who just happens to be God Incarnate), to show him the armies arrayed in awesomeness for war. Once he gets out there, Arjuna realizes that many, many people, including friends and relatives, are about to be killed on both sides - many of them by him - and he becomes paralyzed by grief and moral doubt. Krishna then succinctly explains to him the nature of the entire Universe.
