Bhagavad Gita 1-43

UtsannakuladharmANaaM manuShyaaNaaM janardana

narakE niyataM vaasO bhavateetyanushushruma || 43 ||

Oh Janaradana, We have heard from wise gurus that people belonging to such destructed and spoilt families will dwell in the hell forever.

 

Arjuna calls Krishna as Janardana - which means the one who protects the people probably to remind him that he being the protector should ensure that his people should not suffer. War brings chaos and adharma prevails. Family and social values will be destroyed. People belonging to such families and civilizations have no option but to dwell in hell forever. Every day (nityam) will be a hell for them. Future looks very grim with collapsed system and society. Is it not the responsibility of Janardana to protect the future of the people?  Arjuna in a way is reminding Lord Krishna himself his duties as Janardana. By saying we have heard Arjuna indicates that he does not have first hand information of such societies. It means to say that he has not witnessed such a society because dharma is still prevailing. The future will be such that the civilization will be pushed to a situation which no one has witnessed before.
