Krishna adivises Arjun to keep Sikhandi the eunuch in front and then shoot down Bhishma as<br />

Bhishmacharya refused to fight with one who is neither a man nor a woman<br />

Krishna told Arjuna: "Do it! You will not incur any sin. I shall protect you."<br />

It was not "moral" to kill Dronacharya, Bhishma and all the other great and pious heroes fighting<br />

for the Kauravas, but Arjuna surrendered to Krishna, his guru. He thus surpassed the mundane<br />

principles <strong>of</strong> morality, which involve following rules and regulations to keep peace and order in<br />

human society.<br />
