Will Lord Krishna's attempts to remove Dwarika from the sea succeed?

- Hotline-Bhalchandra Jani

- There is no definite proof of where Lord Krishna's Dwarika was and when he drowned. At least nine places have been claimed to be Dwarika Nagari.

Last month, a parliamentary committee suggested to the government that extensive research be carried out to unravel the mysteries of Dwarka, which had been submerged in the sea. A lot of new secrets will come out if a search is carried out by a marine archaeologist using advanced equipment.

The Puranas mention that after Mama Kansa was killed, Krishna and his elder brother Balram made Ugrasen the king of Mathura. This gesture angered the king of Magadha and Kansa's father-in-law Jarasandh. He repeatedly attacked Mathura to avenge Kansa's death. Each time Krishna and his Yadavayodhas repulsed the attack of Jarasandha. But Lord Krishna decided to leave Mathura to eradicate this animosity forever.

He established the town of Dwarka on the far west coast. The ancient name of this place was Kushasthali. Six years after the battle of Mahabharata, the city of Dwarka sank into the sea. Knowing this calamity in advance, Krishna persuaded the Yadavas to relocate to the nearby highland region of Prabhas (now Somnath and its environs) and thus the Yadavas migrated elsewhere from Dwarka.

Do history and today's science agree with these myths? If this question is difficult to answer, then one should read the book 'The Lost City of Dwarka' published in 19th century.

When it was first claimed in 18 AD that the remains of ancient Dwarika were found in the sea near present day Dwarika, most of the traditional historians and archaeologists considered it to be a myth but the importance of this initiative of historian SR Rao has gradually started to be accepted. The evidence found in the first shipment proves that there was a prosperous town here one and a half thousand years ago, which also had a port. One thing is clear from the large deposits of stone that large ships used to ply in ancient Dwarka. Dr. Rao claims that below it will also be the remains of Dwarika, the capital of Krishna described in the Mahabharata!

Researchers do not have any definite evidence as to where Lord Krishna's Dwarika was and when it sank. Dwarika Nagri from at least nine places was 'in our province or in our district.' Such claims have been made.

Dr. P.S., Senior Scientist, ISRO Space Application Center Thackeray revealed that Krishna's Dwarka is actually what archaeologists say is not Jamnagar's Dwarka but the land in Junagadh district is ugly according to Vedas and Puranas. Thakkarsaheb says that there are nine places in Gujarat which are claimed to be the original Dwarka of Krishna, these places are present day Dwarka city located in Jamnagar district, original Dwarka or Jimadurga located near Kodinar in Junagadh district, native city of Surendranagar, Panchdwarka near Wankaner, Okha Dwarka, as well as the large desert town of Kutch.

Dr. Thakkar says that the description of Dwarika town in the Puranas mentions rivers, forests, mountains, gardens with colorful flowers etc. The present city of Dwarka does not match this description. While satellite images taken by ISRO show that Jima Durga (Junagadh district) had all these features.

Researchers believe that Vasudeva's Dwarika was submerged in the Arabian Sea about 200 years ago and Krishna's Dwarka in the Prabhasakshetra in Junagadh district was also submerged. After 12 years of repeated research, Dr. The remains unearthed by Rao's team from the sea near Dwarika may have been from another ancient city. Dr. Thakkar emphasizes that the description of the geological formation of Junagadh district obtained by satellite is exactly the same as that of the male character of Trishthi Shalaka. In the above book written by a very brilliant Jain sage Hemchandracharya in the 11th century, Krishna has given a geographical description of Dwarka. It says that Kubera created the city of Dwarka at the behest of Indra. This place is now known as Nawada (boat). Milllight limestone is found in and around this village near Girnar near Junagadh. It shows that the sea roared in this area centuries ago.

In the midst of all these claims, there is archaeological evidence that supports Krishna as a historical figure. For example, excavations in Bedsa (a town near Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh) have uncovered a 200-year-old temple of Krishna (Vasudeva). In which there is an idol of Balram (Samakrishna) with Krishna. Idols of Krishna's son Pradmuman, grandson Aniruddha and Yadav's hero Satyaki were also found in this temple.

Is. A historical document of 9 was found recently. The Palitana plates of Samanta Sinhaditya were being studied during extensive excavations. It was then learned that this document (inscription) mentions that Dwarka is the capital of the west coast of Saurashtra and Krishna has stayed here.

For the last few years, Dr. MR Rao, a scientist from the Department of Marine Archeology, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, and his assistants have been taking ships out of Dwarka to explore the seas of Dwarka.

His assumption is that if the city of Dwarika, founded by Krishna, really existed at one time and sank into the sea, its remains must be found. By advancing this theory, Dr. Rao is researching the ancient city of Dwarika in the Arabian Sea with his advanced equipment. The National Institute of Oceanography (National Institute of Oceanography) has also purchased water scooters for Dwarika research. Like a small submarine, this vehicle also helps in underwater exploration.

Archaeologists believe that the original city of Dwarka was submerged in the sea about 200 to 2000 years ago. Not only that, but the stormy waves of the Arabian Sea swept Dwarika into its waters six times. Thus it is probable that there should be the remains of Dwarkanagari inhabited not once but six times in the sea. Dr. S. R. Rao, a Vaishnavism devotee and daily worshiper of Dwarkadhish, is trying to prove on the basis of his extensive research and evidence that the sea at Dwarka in Jamnagar district has sunk nine to ten meters deep in the Dwarkanagari sea 200 years ago. Rao's argument is that the period 500 years ago is universally accepted as the period of the Mahabharata war. In that context, the Mahabharata and Lord Krishna are not just a story, but a fact.

In order to find out the main reason behind the submergence of Dwarka in the sea, systematic research was carried out at two contemporary and nearby places of the city, Somnath and Pindara. Experts are of the opinion that the city of Dwarka may have been submerged due to an earthquake. Because if Dwarka was submerged in the sea due to rising sea level, then places like Somnath and Pindara near it must have also been submerged in the sea. In the context of such reasoning, deep sea research has been carried out in both these places.

Pindara near Somnath is mentioned in the Mahabharata as 'Pindtarak'. According to locals, the Shivlings, which were submerged in the sea at Somnath and Pindara, were found during the Oat.

Earlier in the year 19th to 19th, a 'Marine Expedition' team under the leadership of Dr. SR Rao is presently located in Dwarka city where the temple of Lord Dwarkadhish is located. Remains of this mythical city were found while excavating in the sea near Bat Dwarka. These include Indus mussel seals, earthenware, glazed bottles, post-Harappan earthenware, as well as copper utensils and bracelets made of oysters.

The most interesting thing is that during the sea exploration, the divers found a four-armed statue of Vishnu. Who has a hammer and a conch in his high hand. As well as a crown on the head.

Devotees believe that Lord Krishna lived in Dwarka and remained in Dwarka till the end of the Dwapar era. Even today, Dwarka is counted among the seven holiest pilgrimage sites in the country. Apart from Dwarka, these include Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar, Varanasi, Kachi and Ujjain. These seven towns are considered to be Mokshada.

The bottom line is that if one succeeds in retrieving the remains of Dwarka from the Mahabharata period, many of the historical illusions imposed on the people of India will be dispelled. If the medieval Dwarika existed 1500 years before AD, then the ancient Dwarika must have existed long before that. It will be easier to determine the time period of the Mahabharata era. The illusion that the Aryans came from outside India will also be shattered. This discovery will make a significant contribution to the prevention of arbitrary dealings with Indian history and will give a new direction to historiography.
