The Divine Story of Parthasarathi – Krishna Guides Arjuna

The name Parthasarathi means “the charioteer of Partha,” with Partha being another name for Arjuna. This form of Lord Krishna is especially associated with the events of the Mahabharata and the spiritual teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.

Before the great Kurukshetra war, the Pandavas and Kauravas prepared to fight over their kingdom and the question of rightful rule. Arjuna asked Krishna, who had agreed to serve as his charioteer, to position their chariot between the two armies. Looking across the battlefield, Arjuna saw relatives, respected teachers, friends and elders standing on both sides. Overcome by sorrow and doubt, he questioned whether victory was worth the suffering that war would bring.

Krishna listened to Arjuna’s concerns and explained the nature of dharma, duty and the eternal self. He taught that the body is temporary, while the true self is not destroyed by death. Krishna urged Arjuna to consider his responsibilities as a warrior while acting with discernment rather than being overwhelmed by personal attachment.

Krishna also explained the importance of performing one's duty without selfish attachment to the results. Through the paths of disciplined action, spiritual knowledge and devotion, Arjuna could overcome confusion and understand his role in the larger order of life. To reveal his divine nature, Krishna granted Arjuna a vision of his Vishwaroopam, the universal form encompassing the vastness of creation.

After receiving these teachings, Arjuna’s understanding became clearer, and he resolved to fulfil his responsibility. Krishna continued to guide him throughout the battle, remaining his charioteer and spiritual counsellor.

The Parthasarathi form is especially meaningful to devotees because it portrays the Lord not only as a divine ruler but also as a humble guide who serves his devotee. The story teaches that wisdom, devotion and thoughtful action can help people face difficult choices.

The historic Parthasarathi Perumal Temple in Triplicane, Chennai, is an important centre of worship associated with this form of Lord Krishna. Its traditions connect devotees with the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita and the enduring message of divine guidance.

Displaying Parthasarathi Perumal during Navaratri provides an opportunity to share these sacred teachings and celebrate the values of courage, responsibility and faith.
