Educational Q&A
Even amid looming conflict, dharma begins with right conduct in relationships: honoring elders, seeking wise counsel, and approaching family with compassion and responsibility before decisive action.
Kṛṣṇa first meets Vidura and then, in the afternoon, goes to Kuntī (Pṛthā), his paternal aunt—introducing the forthcoming exchange where he will inquire after welfare and offer reassurance in the tense pre-war setting.
