Who is the father of pandavas?

The father's name is Pandu. His two wives were Kunti and Madri. I cannot find reference to Pancha as one of the brothers; I believe this is a word describing a geographic region, or something similar. See link for more. There is a place called Pancha Pandava Rathas.

Father's name is Pandu. He had two wives. One Kunti another Maadri.

Kunti gave birth to Dharmaraya, Bheema and Arjuna.

Maadri gave birth to Nakula and Sahadeva.

these five together are called Pandava. Pancha means "five" in Sanskrit. Five Pandavas mean pancha pandavas.

What are the comments in adhyaya seven or section seven and shloka 8 to 15 of Bhagwat Geeta?

Lord Krishna says, " Look Arjuna, I am the fluidity in liquids, light in sun and moon, omkara in all the Veda, sound (?) in the space and manliness in the men." (7/8)."I am pure scent in the earth, plasma (core) in the fire, life in all the living things and willingness to worship in those who worship." (7/9).

" Look Arjuna, I am the origin of every form, living and non-living. I am the intelligence of intelligent people and (roughly) the character of the people, who have great character." (7/10).

"Arjuna, I am the power of in the powerful people and sex and sexuality in every body as per the norms of the society." (7/11).

"And those emotions, that come from (roughly) good bad or mixture of both, come from me. But in fact I am not in them and they are not in me." (7/12).

( Here the Lords Krishna makes self contradictory statement. He make similar self contradictory statement in 4/13 also. Such type of statements indicate that there are some things, which are beyond your intellectual capacity. For example the meaning of infinity can not be processed by human brain. For all practical purpose very large numbers act as infinity and gives you practically correct answer in your experiments.)

"Due to this good bad and mixture of both(?), these people are affected. So they do not know Me, who is beyond these things. " (7/13).

(Here again Lord Krishna says that He is 'beyond' your understanding.)

"Because this creation of mine is very difficult to understand (or rather impossible) to understand. But the people, who worship Me, cross this boundary." (7/14).

( I have been thinking about this infinity since my childhood. Now after thinking about the same for more than four decades, I came to the conclusion that human brain can not understand the meaning of infinity. Then the question that arise is that how some one had this concept of infinity some 3500 years back. I do not call myself as infinite God, but He says that He is that infinite God, that to repeatedly. I am trained by the modern science. He was not so. So I have no option, but to have faith in that infinite God.)

"The people, whose intellect is dominated by ego are stupid. Those people, who do bad karma, the people, who are mean minded are stupid and so do not worship Me." (15).

(The people, who go after the earthly things are stupid. For that such things do not give you lasting happiness. Deep inside you know that you are a thief. You are robbing others. So you do not get the real peace of mind. Real peace of mind can be obtained by sacrifice and love for others only.)

What are the few comments that are made by Lord Krishna in Bhagwat Geeta about libido?

Lord Krishna says that if a person keep away all the sensory organs from their subjects and go on thinking about them, then he is called as hypocrite. (3/6). Lord Krishna says that the person who control the sensory organs by his mind and then allow the sensory organs to involve in their subjects, with out psychological involvement in the subjects, is the one who is great (special one). (3/7).

(As per Geeta, if you deprive the sensory organs of their subjects and then go on thinking about them, you are hypocrite. One has to be hypocrite for various reasons, mostly on religious and social grounds. That is not the good thing. Day by day some western countries are showing noticeable improvement in the social norms. Religions are better understood. So may be in near future one may not be forced to remain hypocrite for social reasons. In most of the eastern countries, the society forces one to become hypocrite. Lord Krishna is very much against to be such abnormal control of sensory organs from their subjects. Lord Krishna says that you should control the sensory organs psychologically. Then let the sensory organs go after their subjects. That person is great, who can control the sensory organs psychologically and allow the sensory organs to involve in their subjects. This is like you are riding the horse and you have control over the same.)
