The Bhagavad Gita is not a mythological story.
Brought up as most children are, on a diet of comics and super-heroes, it is natural for us to speak of Krishna as one more fictional and mythic hero.
Nevertheless, Krishna is not a myth. He is not the figment of the
imagination of Veda Vyasa. He is not like Superman, Batman, or a hero from Star Wars. He is a genuine historical personality who walked on this earth more than 5,000 years.
Off the coast of Saurashtra, an Indian archeological expedition extensively explored a submerged city, several thousand years old. Dr. Rao, the Chief Archeologist declared, "This underwater city cannot be anything other than Krishna's Dwarka!"
Another archeologist from the former Soviet Union, Professor A.A. Gorbovsky unearthed from the fields of Kurukshetra (north of New Delhi) - a human skull. He took this skull back with him to his country to study and carbon date it.
His evidence revealed that this skull belonged to a man who died in a war 5,000 years ago - the approximate date of the battle of Kurukshetra.
Amazingly, the skull emitted radiation similar to that of an object exposed to a nuclear blast.
In the Mahabharata, there is a graphic description of the explosion that follows the use of a Brahma-astra (nuclear weapon). The vivid Sanskrit prose describes in great detail the classical mushroom shaped cloud, the intense heat and radiation, the nuclear winter that follows, and the horrible effects on its miserable survivors.
It is only recently after Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the modern world was able to understand all the horrors of nuclear war that Veda Vyasa recorded in the Mahabharata 5,000 years ago.
Krishna is not a myth but a historical personality. The battle of
Kurukshetra that took place 5,000 years ago, is an ancient conflict fought with nuclear weapons. And the Bhagavad Gita is an actual conversation between Krishna and Arjuna, faithfully recorded in a historical text (itihaasa) - the Mahabharata.
