Dear Friends:

This should be a hot topic.  Last week, in our study group, this question 
came up.  What kind of person was Arjuna spiritually ? Was he a yogi, a 
jnAni, a muni, a pandita or a mudha?  

He was a great warrior, capable of great concentration and heroic feats, 
but he seems to be simply a mudha in spiritual matters. I cite just one 
example from the chapter 11; after he has seen the vishvarupa, he 
says," Oh God, you are so big!  I had no idea, I called you mistakenly 
my friend, pardon me!".  That does not sit well with a Self-realized 
person, or does it?.  What do you think?

With best regards,

Dhruba.
