Two powerful sides wanted the same thing, but neither expected what happened next. Before the Kurukshetra war, both Arjuna and Duryodhana went to Krishna seeking his support. Duryodhana believed he had an advantage because he had reached Krishna first. Arjuna, meanwhile, quietly stood near Krishna’s feet with folded hands. When Krishna opened his eyes, he saw Arjuna first. What followed was one of the most remembered decisions before the Mahabharata war. Krishna offered the two sides a choice that revealed something far deeper than military strength.
