MAHABHARATA : LET DHARMA RULE
Yada Yada Hi Dharmashya, Glaanirvawati Bharata;
Abhyutthanam Adharmashya, Tadattmanam Srijamyaham.
Paritranaya Sadhunam, Vinashaya Cha Duskritam;
Dharma Sansthapanaarthe Sambhawami Yuge Yuge.
Meaning- Whenever there is a downfall of Dharma(righteous) in this Bharata( Universe), and upliftment of Adharma(unrighteous), I shall be reborn in this Land and free it from the cluthes of Adharma. I shall protect the righteous and followers of Dharma. And thus, in order to restablish Dharma on this Earth, I shall take rebirth from age to age( yuga to yuga).
Thus, the motto behind Mahabharata was to restablish peace and Dharma on this Earth. It is to be noted that the Everytime there is an uplift of Adharma, God himself takes birth and establishes Dharma. Thus, there are 10 Avatars of God. Till date 9 of them have already taken place and the last, the Kalki Avatar is will be born at the end of the present Yuga( Kali Yuga).
Let me also say that what Mahabharata really is. It is not a normal war between Pandavas and Kauravas for the sake of a kingdom. It is the fight between Dharma and Adharma, where God stand with Dharma always. No matter how big or how strong Adharma is, Dharma will surely win. But the story of Maha bharata was not only confined to the war in Kuru- kshetra, it was extended to afterlife and Swarga. Again, here victory in Mahabharata war is not personal, it is universal victory. There are two kinds of victory, Jaya and Vijaya. Vijaya is material victory, where there is a loser. But Jaya is spiritual victory, where there are no losers. In the war of Kuru- kshetra there is Vijaya,but not Jaya. Jaya occurs to Yudhisthira later, and he reaches Vaikuntha.
And hence, the original name of Mahabharata( the one written by Lord Ganesha) was named as Jaya.
Let Dharma Rule.
