Actually i dont know the story surrounding this incident in the Mahabharata war but one question arose in my mind at that time. If Krishna is called Yogeshwar then why he suddenly went on to attack Bhishma with a chariot wheel, and had to be calmed down by Arjuna and be reminded of his vow, he should have known it all times. Obviously i did not conclude anything at that point itself, as i know that i might be missing something here. So i want a help from you my friends to solve my doubt that has arisen in my mind. looking forward for your replies.

It is said that Bhisma also had a vow that he would make Sri Krishna take up his Chakra and although both Vishma and Krishna were Jnanis, Shri Krishna, being Purushottama, enabled fructification of this vow of pitAmaha Bhisma, just as parents may allow certain fulfillments of children. Shri Krishna is the Self, which indeed fulfills the natural inclinations of souls and pulls them through. Shri Krishna's act is seen as of ultimate love whereby He is ready to fail Himself rather than fail a devotee soul.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
