Bhagwadgita - thinam oru shlokam

[Shakthiprabha.]

therilaye arthi , bathil kidaicha solren (post panren)

kurukshetra is the name of the place (does it have any reason I dont know)

dharmakshetre is because always (before this kaliyuga) war might have had righteous reasons. only dharma wins. So its a place where dharma strives apdeenu irukalaam.

ethelaam en sontha karpanai, I shall let u know, if i find out.

[Arthi]

Guruji... i know to some extent....
by giving answers to above question... this topic should not be deviated...

so asked relavent??????


as already KURU is bolded... it is because of the king KURU the place was called as kurushEtram

yuga was Dwapara Yuga but am not sure

[Shakthiprabha.]

Please post arthi. I said all discussions pertaining to the shlokas/real life incidents for the betterment or taking of our mind, can be carried on.

Only digression would be IRRELAVANT comments, or CHAT which we would not do.

All i know with my brief scent of that place is that, the pandavas and kouravas hail from kuru clan and hence that shetra is called kurushetra meaning land of kurus.
It was also called dharmashetra ( meaning land of righteousness) because the war was against injustice meted out to pandavas and it also resulted in the 'philosophy of karma'.

The story is big. i just share teh PEyar karanam of kurushEtram.

it was bcoz of the king KURU the battle field was named as kurushEtram

who was KURU????

He was the grandson of King Vishiparva. sorry forgot parents name.

KURU's father had 2 wives.

one was(first wife) devayai daughter of Shukracharya.
The other one was King Vishiparva's(Princess) daughter.

(Because of one curse Vishiparva's daughter bacame DEVAYANI's maid and went with devayani after her marriage with the KING. and then the princess became the second wife of DEVAYAN"s husband)


one day devayani came to know about her husband's secret relationship with Vishiparva's daughter. she ran to her father Shukracharya and explained about her husband's quality.
(The king got 2 sons through DEVAYANI and 3 sons through Vishiparva's daughter)

Shukracharya cursed the king that he will no longer retain his youth. The king went back home and explained about his curse to his sons, and pleaded them to exchange his old age with their youth

Devayani's sons refused it. the last son of Vishiparva's daughter who was KURU gave his youth to his father.

KURU's father enjoyed the wordly life and atlast realised about life and went in search of peace. so he returned the youth to his son and accepted his ripe(thirundhitaar illa adhan RIPE ) old age and gave his kingdom to KURU.


this was the way how Kaurava dynasty was formed. KURU became a great emperor. sages practises auestirities,yagna , sacrifices and all in the vast region which became Kurukshetra.

Since DHARMA was practised in Kurukshetra which became Dharma-Kshetra

[Shakthiprabha.]

He is right arthi.

His experiences may not relate to this thread, i.e. it may be general in nature, hence it need not be discussed here.

There is nothign to be confused.
