Chhhoto chhoto gaiya
chhoto chhoto gwal
chhoto chhha maro madan gopal,
hari chhoto chha maro madan Gopal
The song played in music track reminds me many things.Krishna ,Madan Gopal is the realisation of a human being. As a naughty child (maakhan chor), mischevious teenager (raas-lilas), passionate lover (gopis), valiant warrior (killed many rakshasas other than Kansa), powerful saviour (Goverdhan Lila), shrewd statesman (established Dwarka), dear friend (Sudama), wise guide (Arjuna), virtous teacher (Geeta saar) and an extremely manipulating strategist (Mahabharata), he has shown a whole spectrum of qualities a man must possess in order to become a legend that is chanted through the ages.
He was not perfect, not even close as far as I'm concerned, but he did justify the quote- 'Ends justify the means". The bottomline being, if in order to fulfill your Dharma, if you have to twist a few fingers than so be it. That is the reality of the world as we know it even today 4500 years after he existed.
Krishna deals with realities of the universe, battles between worlds, and stakes that are way higher . Krishna has no problems holding centre stage. The sheer weight of the Bhagawad Gita should remove all doubts as to who is the more heroic of the two.
As for the means Krishna used, I have no problems, for, as in the Gita, through Arjuna, when he said, "I'm the beginning, and the end, and all that lies in between", cleared up Arjuna's karma yoga so he became the full realization of his potential as a warrior.
