It
is this Dharmabhoomi that filled many a glittering chapter of sacred
scriptures, like the Rigveda, Upanishads, Puranas, Bhagavadgita and
Mahabharatha. From time immemorial it has been the sangrama ranga,
where historic battles were fought in defense of Dharma that changed
the course of history, and gave a new turn to the lives of teeming
millions inhabiting this divya kshetra. Besides Pouranic glory,
historical eminence too is emanating from every inch of this Punya
bhoomi.
Hence
for the Sanatanist, it's his life breath; theist, his soul;
religionist, his mind; moralist, a light house; codifier, a treasure
trove; seeker, the gateway to heaven; spiritual bankrupt, a font;
mumuksha, a crazy pilgrim centre, Ideologist, a research lab; and
cultured man, a temple. Its very mention exhilarates the
spiritualist; energizes the lily-livered; rejuvenates, the crest
fallen; ignites the virtuous; Armour's the asthikas; and consoles
the oppressed.
Every
devotee's abode reverberates with its glory in the predawn hour
during the recitation of Gita beginning with Dharmakshetra -
Kurukshetra, when his heroic heart resounds .with 'the zooming
arrows and clanking of clubs; and awakens his ferule mind to the
thoughts of eternal messages preached, and acted, perpetual peace
sought and got by manavothamas aided and abetted by Purushothama and
His retinue.
