Hi,
In the Mahabharata war, there is no comparison between the two sides, the pandavas and the kauravas, in terms of their numbers or skills, strategies, and arms. The difference between them was huge. Though the pandavas had the least numbers compared with that of the kauravas who had a huge army, how come they were not defeated? If you look deep, you will notice that it was because of the sole reason that the unconquerable Krishna was on their side. Let us look at a couple of things that prove this point in this week's Monday Motivational story.

The one and only factor that you will never be defeated
If Karna wears the kavachkundalas that he was blessed with by the Sun god, his victory would be certain, and Arjuna's destruction inevitable. Knowing this secret, Indra went to Karna in the disguise of an old brahmana and asked him to donate the kavachkundalas. The highly charitable Karna gave them to him without any hesitation. Appreciating this kind gesture of Karna, Indra gave him a highly powerful weapon called 'Sakti,' and told him that it could be used to destroy anyone except Arjuna, who was under the protection of Krishna. But, though Karna kept it to use it exclusively against Arjuna, he had to use it on Ghatotkach. Thus according to the word of Indra, it means that Arjuna remained undefeated because of Krishna.
In another instance, when the pandavas were going through their life in the forests, Jayadradha attempted to take Draupadi away by force when she was all alone. Bhima, who quickly noticed this, subdued him in no time, brought him to Yudhishthira and threw him at his feet. Though he forgave him and allowed him to go, Jayadradha felt insulted and wanted to take a revenge. He prayed to Lord Shiva through rigorous penance and sought a boon from him that would empower him to kill the pandavas. But Shiva blessed him with a boon and said, "oh Jayadradha, with this boon, you can win over anyone however powerful they are except Arjuna, who is protected by Krishna."
Even Bhishma, Drona, and all other elders on the kaurava side knew in the beginning itself that the victory in the war would be to the pandavas. They told that if Krishna's support was not there, the pandavas could be defeated.

He is with you too now. He is on your side always. You are never alone. Your victory is certain like that of the pandavas as He is with you protecting you all the time. Remember the eight magical words and tell them to yourself, "I AM NOT ALONE. GOD IS WITH ME." Have faith in your god. He is with you guiding you on the right path. You put in your best efforts on that path. Your success is certain.
To your continued SUCCESS,
With love,
Siva
