Pierre Bezukhov’s captivity in War and Peace leads him to a discovery straight out of yogic wisdom: happiness is within, suffering can transform into blessing, and the company of a saintly soul changes everything. Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack Tolstoy’s descriptions of Pierre’s awakening through Platon Karataev and connect them with the bhakti truths of the Bhagavad-Gītā and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. From Pierre’s realization that “Life is everything. Life is God” to baby Krishna’s playful liberation of two fallen demigods, the timeless message shines through—what looks like misery may be the doorway to divine joy.
