Respect is given to the Buddhist and Jain horror of war. So is the Buddhist argument that anyone can seek moksha during his or her own lifetime and does not have to wait until he or she is a member of a high caste or at the end of life. Instead of the Buddha's 8-fold path, however, the Gita offers Karma yoga and bhakti yoga. The four ends of life and karma and bhakti yoga are all part of the Hindu synthesis. The average person does not have to become a Buddhist to end to samsara.
Karma yoga makes it possible for anyone to seek moksha and still perform one's dharma.
Bhakti yoga makes it possible for a person to be seeking moksha while he or she is going through everyday activities. Lord Krishna's revelation is a mystical experience. However, artists have tried to represent the moment. Since Krishna is Brahman, and everything is Brahman, one way to picture the revelation is to show all the gods and goddesses and demons as part of Krishna. Ask students to make a visual representation of that moment of revelation.
