Avijit,
This is little too naive..and people who have gone through
verses of Gita will not be offended but ignore because
it is clear that you have not gone through the verses or tried to understand
it.
If you go by Darwin's theory, it is unlikely that the world will be
free of war as long as evolution will continue. There will be
war among nations, corporates and peoples as long as evolution
of human beings will continue.
Krishna's logic of Dharmayaudhya or for that matter, Moahammad's logic of Jehad
can not be neglected as it is in line with Darwin's interpretation. Only
problem
is how and whom do you define as 'Dharma' or 'Kafir'. That's where Gita and
Koran got screwed up because Mohammad or Krishna have no right to
define what is ethical and what is unethical. It should be based on
understanding of biological and social science.
And in order to establish the science as the source of true ethics,
we have to follow Krishna's logic of war. History taught us,
that south-east Asia fell to Islam from Buddhism because Buddhism
never encouraged any war.
As for Krishna's sexual appetite, it is not unethical as long
as he is NOT forcing it on any woman. Krishna is a symbol of true
Darwinian man,
who led his life with sex, power, inetellence and politics
that defines all the means of survival of the fittest. So,
was Mohammad.
