Shree Mahaa Vishnu and Geethaa Fest

Being Ekaadashi, today is a very auspicious day to Shree Mahaa Vishnu devotees. Today is also a very auspicious day, because it is on this day, that Lord Shree Krishnaa, an Incarnation of Shree Mahaa Vishnu, resolved the dilemma of Arjunaa, just before beginning the Mahaa Bhaarathaa war, that eventually led to the victory of good over evil. The Devine words spoken by Lord Shree Krishnaa  himself to Arjunaa is revered as 'Bhagavath Geethaa', literally meaning 'The Divine Song'. This day is devotedly celebrated as Geethaa Jayanthi.

Bhagavath Geetha begins with "Dharmakshetre Kurukshetre...". The term 'Dharmakshetre' meaning 'the place where Dharmaa got established'. 

According to a divine speaker, whom I listened to a few days back, the term 'Dharmakshetre' means that the place became a Dharmakshetraa as Lord Shree Krishnaa himself had perormed Yagnaa at this place for many years well before the war took place.
