Gita Chapter - I , Shlok - 01

Dharmkshetre Kurukshetre
Samaveta Yuyutsavah
Mamakah Pandavashchaiv
Kimkurvat samjay

Dhritrashtra the king , a blind man ,s shloka is the opening of Shrimadbhagvadgita .
Dhritraashtra says :-----
Samjay! my people and people of pandava had gathered together ,
eager for battle in the
dharmshetra - Kurukshetra . What did they do ?
We shall be looking various points hidden in this shloka in the next issue but here
some home work is being proposed as under -----
[a] Was Kurukshetra - the battle field of mahabharata,
a dharma - kshetra before
the mahabharata ?

[b] Why was Dhritrastra so excited to know
what was going on there in the battle field ?

[c] Kurukshetra and Thaneshwar - these two places are situated
few yard away to each other .
Thaneshvar was capital of king Harshvardhan .
If during that period Kurukshetra
existed at all there , then why was the Thaneshvar
made the capital by Harhvardhan ?,
was Thaneshvar more importent than Kurukshetra ?

[d] Thaneshvar is one of the shakti pitha out of 41 available
and so this place is related to Shiva - Shakti .
Shiva - shakti meditation is related to Tantra where mail and female
do meditation through their sex - energy .

This is the subject of history to see -
how can be said that before mahabharata ,
Kurukshetra was known as a tirtha ?
