About this ebook

Located in the city of Dwaraka, on the west coast of India in Gujarat, is the famous temple of Dwarakadhish, which is dedicated to Lord Krishna, the Lord of Dwaraka. Among the seven holy cities of India, it is considered to be one of the most sacred. Another list includes Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar, Varanasi, Kanchipuram, and Ujjain. It is believed that the original temple of Dwarakadhish was built by the great-grandson of Krishna, Vajranabha, on the ruins of Krishna's own palace, which survived the tsunami intact.

The ancient, famed city of Dwaraka did exist during the Krishnavatara's reign some five thousand years ago. It is no longer visible since it lies at the bottom of the ocean. The poets, writers, saints, and sages of ancient India have all praised the majesty and beauty of Dwaraka. Several Hindu texts, including the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Skanda Purana, the Vishnu Purana, Harivamsha, and the Mahabharata, refer to it as the "Golden City.". A verse in the Bhagavatam says: "The golden fort of Dwaraka City had its yellow glitter all around it, as if the flames of Vadavagni (the fire of eternity) had come out and tore the sea asunder."

It was a thriving port and had a harbor on an island nearby. Dwaraka must have been the largest port on the Indian coast during the third millennium BC according to the number, size, and variety of stone anchors. Some fifty stone anchors are visible, but hundreds have been buried in the sediment. It is probably because of this that the city received its name. Dwaraka, which means "gate" in Sanskrit, was perhaps the gate that enabled ancient civilizations to access the ports.

Cities of the West used seafaring to enter India's vast subcontinent. Ka in Sanskrit also means "Brahma," so perhaps it was devoted to Brahma, the creator of the Hindu trinity.

    Located in the city of Dwaraka, on the west coast of India in Gujarat, is the famous temple of Dwarakadhish, which is dedicated to Lord Krishna, the Lord of Dwaraka. Among the seven holy cities of India, it is considered to be one of the most sacred. Another list includes Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar, Varanasi, Kanchipuram, and Ujjain.

Several Hindu texts, including the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Skanda Purana, the Vishnu Purana, Harivamsha, and the Mahabharata, refer to it as the Golden City.. A verse in the Bhagavatam says: The golden fort of Dwaraka City had its yellow glitter all around it, as if the flames of Vadavagni (the fire of eternity) had come out and tore the sea asunder.

    It was a thriving port and had a harbor on an island nearby. Dwaraka must have been the largest port on the Indian coast during the third millennium BC according to the number, size, and variety of stone anchors. Some fifty stone anchors are visible, but hundreds have been buried in the sediment. It is probably because of this that the city received its name. Dwaraka, which means gate in Sanskrit, was perhaps the gate that enabled ancient civilizations to access the ports.

    Cities of the West used seafaring to enter India's vast subcontinent. Ka in Sanskrit also means Brahma, so perhaps it was devoted to Brahma, the creator of the Hindu trinity.

    Surasenas (a Yadava clan) had Mathura as their capital, but when Jarasandha of Magadha attacked, Mathura was wholly exposed and unable to defend itself. Krishna's family would have to relocate if it wanted to live in peace without being constantly threatened by enemies. All his people were sent on forced marches to the ancient seaside city of Kushasthali (Gujarat) on the west coast of India. Kushasthali proved to be the most suitable place for them. Then he built a beautiful town called Dwaravati (Dwaraka) on the land he reclaimed from the ocean. A number of the nearby islands were part of his kingdom, as was the Anarta kingdom of the mainland. All of our Puranas mention this Dwaraka. Krishna spent most of his life in Dwaraka, but few stories have been recorded about his early years in Gokula and Vrindavana.

    Seven days after leaving this planet, he gave a prophecy that the reclaimed part of the city would return to the sea, which is precisely what happened. The ocean has been hiding its secrets for many years, and for many years the legend of the famed Dwarka was thought to only be a myth.

    However, archaeological and astronomical studies and many maritime explorations have provided historical evidence of Dwaraka's existence, enabling the dating of many of Mahabharata's tales. Moreover, they have helped shed light on ancient Indian history and have concluded that the Mahabharata War took place in 3126 BCE and that Dwaraka was sunk thirty-six years later.

    Over ten thousand archaeological sites in India have been excavated, proving the existence of the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished from 3400 BC to 1500 BC. The remains of the city, which was estimated to have existed twenty-one thousand years ago, have also been discovered underwater. Lord Krishna's Dwaraka was the last of six towns built on this one. Western scholars believe that the Sapta Sindhu, the land of the seven rivers in northwest India, is the cradle of civilization rather than Sumeria in Mesopotamia.

    We descend from the Vedic ancestors of Sapta Sindhu, the densely populated region; Indians spread the knowledge of the Vedic culture and the Sanskrit language throughout Asia and Europe. Iranian and Greek speakers of Sanskrit migrated to the West.

    Hinduism, the oldest religion globally, is based on Vedic culture. The Sanatana Dharma, or ancient righteousness, is the actual name of this faith. The sacred land of Aryavrata or Bharatavarsha is the land where it was conceived and nurtured. It is unfortunate that our history books, written by Western scholars, state that, in the fifteenth century BC, the Aryans migrated from Central Asia to India in war chariots. As per this fictitious theory, the Aryan invaders introduced the Vedas and Sanskrit languages to India. Max Müller, the famous German Indologist, and William Jones, a linguist, were the most prominent advocates. This brilliant conclusion emerged from observing the similarities between Sanskrit and European languages without realizing that the exodus of Sanskrit was from India to the West, not vice versa, which explains why European languages have their roots in Sanskrit and not the other way around, as Max Müller and William Jones would have us believe. However, both of these Indologists were secretly planning to undermine the faith of this country and impose Christianity on the so-called heathens! According to a well-known fact, history is always written from the perspective of conquerors to prove the superiority of their own culture, Subjugating culture, and the inferiority of the subjugated culture.

    A letter written by Max Müller to his wife stated, My translation of the Vedas will affect the fate of India and the growth of millions of souls there.. This is the foundation of their religion and to show them what this foundation is is the only way to uproot all that has sprung from it during the last 3,000 years.".

    Muller fabricated a date for the alleged Aryan invasion based on the Christian belief that the world's creation occurred at 9:00 a.m. in 4004 BC. If we
