Guest guest Posted September 10, 1998 Report Share Posted September 10, 1998 This is about the question about SriKrishna being able to recite all of Gita at war time. It turns out that there are only 700 verses which could be recited in a couple of hours or less. I know a group of people who recite the entire Gita on Gita Jayanti day in about two hours. As you know the war at that time was more deliberate than now. They had specific rules about when to fight, how to start the fighting etc. Moreover, SriKrishna was a well respected authority whose words everybody would certainly listen to even if they don't follow. So it is not unreasonable to think that He narrated the entire Gita just before war. Since most people's serious doubts resurface just at the beginning of the major undertaking, Arjuna needed it at this juncture rather than some other time.
