Description:
The Chariot depicts the greatest moment
from the epic of Mahabharata that
constitutes the discourse of Bhagvad
Geeta by Krishna. The Bhagvad Gita can
be seen as the chief literary support
for the religious civilization of India.
The Chariot here symbolizes the will
power and determination to do what is
right. The Charioteer overcomes the
weakness of heart and rises to fulfill
his duties through his focus to fight
and win. The Charioteer is the person
who is not disturbed by either happiness
or distress and remains steady in both.
In the episode shown in the card the
chariot of Arjuna is seen. Arjuna faces
conflicts of the soul and the life he is
leading, feeling weakened by the call of
war with his own brethren. This is
where Krishna comes in and delivers the
great 'Geeta-updesh' or preaching to
Arjuna. Under the divine blessings of
Lord Krishna, Arjuna understands the
meanings of duty - 'Karmanya-vadhikaraste-maphaleshu-kadachina'
- Do what you have to do without
expecting any results. The card being no
VII also indicates that the Charioteer
is a deep thinker, is sympathetic and
kind. The Charioteer always fights for
what is right.
