When Lord Krishna established Yudhishthira on the throne after the battle of Kurukshetra , that one act is very telling . Why is it that Krishna favours the peaceful milk giving cows and the Sattvic Brahminical intelligentsia? It has been clearly described by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. In fact, Bhagavad Gita touches on everything any person would need to know about life and its purposes and benefits. The Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta bring us further details.
It behoves anyone to understand why Krishna did not introduce democracies. Although democracies amongst the educated are no bad thing . We should know what a good leader is and where and how they are leading us and why .If we don’t know these things or don’t understand scientific dualism or the psychological effects that lifestyles can have on individuals , we are likely to vote in a fool , take a look at the world, and urgently pick up the Bhagavad Gita.
Lord Krishna aligned Himself with Yudhishthira and the Pandavas, representing the preservation of Dharma (righteousness) and the empowerment of Sattvic (pure, wise, and harmonious) leadership over Rajasic (passionate, ego-driven) and Tamasic (ignorant, destructive) forces.
Why Krishna Favoured Yudhishthira and the Sattvic Intelligentsia
Yudhishthira was the literal son of Dharmaraja (the deity of justice). Krishna’s primary incarnation goal was Dharma-samsthapanartha (re-establishing righteousness). Supporting Yudhishthira was a direct alignment with cosmic order.
The Sattvic mind seeks truth, balance, and the welfare of all beings. Unlike the Kauravas, who were driven by greed and ambition, the Pandavas and their advisers sought spiritual alignment and ethical governance.
Yudhishthira and the intelligentsia (like Vidura and the sages) consistently sought Krishna’s counsel, placing divine wisdom above political expediency.
