Thought of the day !
The field on which the battle was fought was called Dharmakshetra, for historically it was a sacred place where sacrifices and other sacred and auspicious acts had been performed. At the same time, historically, it was also the place where the wicked offsprings of Kuru, the dynastic family of the Kauravas had lived; therefore, it was called Kurukshetra. When a body is born is pure and unblemished... A body not affected by any of the Gunas is Dharmakshetra.
As the body grows, it goes on collecting different types of bad qualities like jealousy, hatred attachments and so on. When all these things develop in the body, it becomes Kurukshetra. Good and bad are both encased in your heart... The war between the Pandavas and Kauravas did not last for a long time, but the war between the forces of good and evil continue throughout your life; it has no end. This battle is fought on the field of Dharma. Entering the field of Dharmakshetra, there should be a transformation in your nature; that is the significance of the battle.
