Pearls of Bhagavat Gita - Chapter 1.19

                                                       

Bg 1.19

sa ghoṣo dhārtarāṣṭrāṇāṁ
hṛdayāni vyadārayat
nabhaś ca pṛthivīṁ caiva
tumulo ’bhyanunādayan

Translation:

The blowing of these different conchshells became uproarious. Vibrating both in the sky and on the earth, it shattered the hearts of the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra.

Import

1) The Supreme Lord Sri Hari reciprocates the way we approach him. The same divine sound of the Panchajanya was soothing and encouraging for the Lords's devotees but the same sound shattered and destroyed the hearts of his enemies namely the Kauravas.

2) In Ramayana, after Ravana defeated lakshmana, he tried to lift him with his 10 hands; but he was unable to accomplish this, but Hanuman belonging to ordinary Monkey Clan lifted Lakshmana easily.

3) Although the Supreme Lord deviced many incorrect ways to win for the Pandavas, one cannot question Sri Krishna, because, the Supreme Lord has taken the pratijnai to protect those who has surrendered to him. Therefore instead of questioning the lords mysterious and partial attitude towards his devotees; one must be intelligent enough to surrender to him and become his Bhaktha.
