Does bhakti-marga prescribe renunciation of action?

No. Instead, bhakti marga requires active participation in the divine plan. Every activity the devotee performs is to serve Bhagawan.

Greatness of Kurukshtra

Brahma had performed a yajna here. At that time, King Kuru prepared the ground using a golden plough, which was pulled by the bull of Mahadeva and the buffalo of Yama. As the yajna was taking place, the king expanded the area on all four sides of the venue at the rate of 7 kosas (approximately 21 km) per day. Upon the completion of the yajna, Lord Vishnu blessed the newly created land by naming it Dharmakshetra. Any dharmic act performed here earns endless punya (spiritual merit).
