A Decision That Determined the End of the War!
A brief word from Pujya Maharaj Ji — to listen to the full discourse, watch the video above.
The Full Discourse
When Gandhari Ji heard that Bhim had vowed to break Duryodhan's thigh, she said to Duryodhan: Come before me naked. I have not used the power of my marital virtue until now. Today I will. I will open the bandage from my eyes, and whatever part of your body my gaze falls upon will become hard as thunder.
Duryodhan was going naked before Gandhari Ji's gaze. In the middle, the Lord appeared to him. He said: You are a young man. Your mother has instructed you—you are a child, a young man. At least you should have some shame.
What could be done? Mother has said so, but tie a leaf around your waist at least. So he tied it. By this leaf, you violated Gandhari's intent—then why didn't you become completely naked? Now what did Krishna say? Go—you will be struck from here. Your whole body is hard as thunder, but from the waist down, you will be killed.
Before Bhimsena's fierce blow from his mace, Duryodhan hid, propping himself in the water. The fight went on. They left him. Thrashing and suffering, he died, and no one would give him water. They left him there.
