Dwarka: Krishna’s Sunken Golden City: Myths, Curse, and Underwater Secrets
Krishna’s Sunken Golden City – Myths, Curse, and Underwater Secrets takes readers on a gentle yet powerful journey into one of Hinduism’s greatest mysteries—the legendary city of Lord Krishna that now lies beneath the sea.
Rooted in the Mahabharata, Harivamsa, and Bhagavata Purana, the book retells the rise of Dwarka as Krishna’s divine capital, its life of harmony and prosperity, the shadow of the Kurukshetra war, Gandhari’s curse, the tragic fall of the Yadavas, and Krishna’s final departure from the mortal world. It then thoughtfully explores modern underwater discoveries near present-day Dwarka, presenting archaeological findings with balance and respect, without exaggeration.
Blending devotion, history, and reflection in simple, flowing language, this book reminds readers of the impermanence of worldly glory and the eternal presence of dharma and Krishna’s teachings—long after the golden city disappeared beneath the waves.
