Why Not Balaram Join The War Of Mahabharata?

Lord Krishna’s elder brother Balarama explained many times to Shri Krishna that we should not join the battle, as both Duryodhana and Arjuna are our friends. It would be appropriate not to favor both at the time of such a religious crisis. However, Krishna had no problem of any kind. He had also solved this problem. He had told Duryodhana that you should choose either me and my army. Duryodhana selected Krishna’s army.

It is mentioned in the Mahabharata that while the preparations for the war were being made and there one day, Lord Sri Krishna’s elder brother Balarama suddenly arrived in the cantonment of the Pandavas. Sri Krishna, Yudhishthira, etc., we’re very happy to see Dau Bhaiya coming. Everyone respected him. Greeting everyone, Balarama sat down with Dharmaraja.

He said with great distress that how many times I told Krishna that both Pandavas and Kauravas are the same for us. Both are thought to be foolish. We do not need to fall into this, but Krishna did not listen to me. Krishna has so much affection for Arjuna that he remains in opposition to the Kauravas. Now, how should I go in opposition to the side of Krishna? Both Bhima and Duryodhana have learned mace from me. Both are my disciples. I have a similar affection for both. I do not like seeing these two Kuruvanshis fightings among themselves, so I am going on pilgrimage.
