Did Sanjaya report the Kurukshetra war from Kurukshetra or from Hastinapura?
Rekrishna Rekrishna question did Sanjay narrate the Kurukshetra war live to Dhritarashtra or did he come back from Kurukshetra and then narrate the war to him answer is both Sanjay had at Dhritarashtra's behest gone to Kurukshetra and he was there for 10 days and on the 10th day when Bhishma fell this news was so shocking because Bhishma had never met defeat with anyone not just he had been defeated he had once been defeated by Arjuna in the Virat Yuddha but that was a temporary defeat here he had fallen and it was clear that he was not going to rise again so this news was so shocking that Sanjay came back and he told Dhritarashtra and Dhritarashtra fainted on hearing this and Dhritarashtra told please tell me in detail and then Sanjay told the events of the 10 days and telling the events of the 10 days then from thereafter onwards that is live so in that sense the Bhagavad Gita yes Sanjay did have the mystical vision by which he could see while seated in Hastinapur what was happening in Kurukshetra but that was not necessarily the only way in which the Bhagavad Gita was in which the Kurukshetra war was told so he went there he came back and then afterwards he told from there itself that's what the Mahabharata describes about how the Kurukshetra war was narrated to Dhritarashtra by Sanjay there was mystic vision and there was ordinary reporting both was there and even in the ordinary reporting Vyasadev's special endowment was there because if we consider a war it is not that say even if a report if today a war takes place say there is a war going on again in the middle east even if there is a reporter over there the reporter can't be everywhere and the reporter can't see everything reporter will be at one place and the action may be happening on multiple fronts so even when Sanjay was at Kurukshetra at that time he was using Vyasa's mystical vision to know what was happening at various parts on various fronts between various warriors in the war field so the mystic vision was used even when he was in Kurukshetra and it was used all the more when he was in when he was in Hastinapur.
