War and Win

Ashwatthama became very angry when his father Dronacharya was killed in Mahahabharata war. He shot a terrible weapon "Narayana Astra"on Pandava army. None could retaliate it. It could burn people and immediately destroy those who had weapons in hand or were seen trying to fight. Lord Krishna ordered his army to leave their weapons and remain quiet with folded hands. And said, "Do not even bring the idea of war to mind as that would also destroy you". Narayana Astra gradually calmed down when it's time expired. In this way Pandava army was saved. Battles are not just about attack and counter attack. Some battles are won by staying put and remaining quiet.!
