Bhagvad-Gita Chapter one SLoka 1

HARE KRISHNA!
SLOKA -1/1 
DHRATRASHTRA UVACHA
DHARAMKSHETRE  KURUKSHETRE  SAMAVETA  YUYUTSAVAH
MAMAKAH   PANDAVA  KAIVA  KIMAKURVATA  SANJAYA

MEANING
 Dhratrashtra said: O Sanjay after my sons and the sons of Pandu assembled in the place of pilgrimage at Kurukshetra desiring to fight, what did they do?

explanation
  As Dhratrashtra was blind and he himself could not see the happenings of war due to this he was  dependent on Sanjay his secretory who was blessed with divine sight so as he was able to see that war while sitting in the chamber of Dhratrashtra just as these days we are able to see  the direct telecast of any sporting event or alike by the use of satellite, as such the divine crystallite was given to Sanjay.
  In the Gita mahatamya( Glorification of Gita) it has been said that one should read Bhagvad Gita with help of a true devotee of Lord Krishna and try to understand without personally motivated interpretations. The example of clear understanding is there in Gita itself, in the way the teaching is understood by Arjuna, Who Heard the Gita directly from the lord. If someone is fortunate enough to understand the Bhagvad Gita in that line of disciplic succession without motivated interpretation, then he surpasses all studies of vedic wisdom and all scriptures of the world. One will find in the Bhagvat Gita all that is contained in other scriptures but the reader will find things which are not present elsewhere. That is the specific standard of the Gita. it is the perfect theistic science because it is directly spoken by supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Krishna.
    Here both the pandavas and the sons of Dhratrashtra belong to the same family, but Dhratrashtra s mind is disclosed herein. He deliberately claimed only his sons as kurus and he separated the sons of Pandu from the family heritage. More over Dhratrashtra is worried about his sons because he knows that Lord Krishna is with Pandavas, that is why he asks Sanjay "what did they do"
HARI BOL!
