Dwarka : having been Sri Krishna’s capital, it was mandatory for the progenitor of the Socialist Secular Republic to downgrade that communalist creation into an out-of-the-way town of his Bombay State (created by his predecessors as one of their Provinces). This explains the terminology of this report by a secular journalist of a secular newspaper: Jacob Koshy: The Dept. of Science & Technology (DST) is looking to send robotic vehicles into the sea near Dwārkā & Puhar (see Chōlas), Tamil Nadu, to look for submerged structures that may, according to a person aware of the project [=not the official spokesperson], point to evidence of ancient cities. The programme... is expected to involve organisations such as the National Institute Ocean Technology, Chennai, & the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa. The former has indigenously built vehicles capable of plumbing 5,000 metres & the NIO has previous experience in marine archaeology. “Along with historical interest, this is also to test several technologies such as sophisticated imaging technology, being able to map the ocean floor with sonar & being able to date old stones & recoverable implements using the latest techniques”, a person at the DST [=not the official spokesperson] told me. “A proposal has been cleared but funding should be clear in three months.” – “Excavations at Dwārkā, a coastal town in Jamnagar district of Gujarat, have a long history. Nearly a decade ago, the Underwater Archaeology Wing of the Archaeology Survey of India (ASI) found copper coins & segments of granite structures. Mentioned in the Mahabharata as ‘Dvārakā’ or ‘Dvāravati’, it is also linked to the god [=not The One & Only True God of the Creedal Religions] Krishna. Dwārkā, a port city finds mention in ancient Greek texts from the 1st millennium &, according to legend [=fiction], was a rich city that sank into the sea.” ― “The first excavations at Dwārkā were done by the Deccan College, Pune & the Dept. of Archaeology, the Govt. of Gujarat, in 1963 under the direction of H.D. Sānkaliā. Over the years, it has thrown up potteries that suggest that the city could be over 3,000 years old.... This isn’t the first attempt by the government to search for evidence of mythological [=fictional] entities. In October, an expert committee of geologists, archaeologists & hydrologists said, it has found evidence of the Saraswati, a river mentioned in the Rig Veda & in Hindu mythology…. This was a study commissioned by the Water Resources Ministry & led by Professor K.S. Valdiya of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre of Advanced Scientific Research…. His report concluded that evidence from palaeo-channels – remnants of defunct rivers – suggested that the Saraswati-Mārkanda rivulets in Haryana were the water courses of the ‘eastern branch of a Himalayan river’ & Ghāggar-Patiali channels its western branches.” [The Hindu, 1 July 2017:9]
... father asked me to take our guest on a round of Dwarka and to show him that beautiful township of Mithapur barely twenty kilometers away from Dwarka. I borrowed the car from Chaturbhuj Sheth, Chairman of the S.P.I. School Trust. Father was advisor to Chaturbhuj Sheth and he had the freedom to borrow his car from time to time. After a rapid round of Dwarka, where the chief place of attraction was, of course... intellectual knowledge and wanted to enrich my mind as quickly as possible. This was the reason why I had no mind to spend any considerable time at Dwarka during my visit. It was particularly the pressure of my mother that had compelled me to visit Dwarka and was planning to stay there just for a day and return to Ahmedabad without any delay so as to get back to the library and the books that I was reading... reading voraciously. But Mira's letter had evidently shaken my plan and I had begun to think of rescheduling the duration of my stay at Dwarka in consultation with her. Yet, before I reached Dwarka eventually late that night, my mental tension had grown so heavy that I resolved once again to return to Ahmedabad the very next day. How tension makes you decisive and indecisive alternately! When ...
... students lived in the teacher's house and were regarded as members of one family. Sudama used to cut Krishna's share of the wood. After study they separated, Krishna became the premier prince of Dwarka and a very prominent statesman of his times. Sudama lived in an obscure village and was poor. He got a large family and very often it came to theverge of starvation. Sudama used to tell his wife about... not want to go to his friend without some gift. His wife went round the neighbours and begged some fried rice which she gave him as a gift for his friend, royal Krishna. Sudama somehow reached Dwarka and found out Krishna's palace. He was stopped at the gate, his poor appearance was enough to bar bis way. With difficulty he sent his name to Krishna who had just finished his bath and was being waited ...
... speaking of the various modes of Krishna's being, first mentions the many-sided supreme reality that is Krishna of the Gita and then describes him as "the Godhead who was incarnate at Brindavan and Dwarka and Kurukshetra and who was the guide of my Yoga and with whom I realised identity".³Side by side with this "identity" we may observe how Sri Aurobindo concludes his explanation of the Mother's... represents the spiritual or divine consciousness which it is her work to establish so that it may reign upon earth." 4 Once more the Master, the Mother, and the Godhead incarnate at Brindavan, Dwarka and Kurukshetra merge. From their personal oneness as well as the oneness of their work so repeatedly expressed, we should find it easy to equate with the Victory proper to Sri Aurobindo ...
... spiritual and cultural unity. As a first step, they created sacred religious places and distributed them all over the country; some of the places are in Haridwar, Prayag near Allahabad, Gaya, Nasik, Dwarka, Puri, Kumbakonam and Rameswaram. One may also note the great influence of temples all over India. Not only were they religious places of worship, but structures of grandeur and beauty... beauty. There can be no doubt that the temples of India were a very powerful unifying factor. Starting from the South in Madura and Rameswaram right up to the north in Kashmir, in the East from Dwarka to the great temples in Assam, they have been a powerful religious, cultural and aesthetic unifying force. Another method they adopted was the repetition of the sacred text, which in ancient times ...

There is a poignant chapter in the Mahabharat describing his miseries and bothers with his people in Dwarka which is very illuminating. Unfortunately I have forgotten where it is.

He would cite the example of Sri Krishna in the Mahabharata story; Sri Krishna had no intention of being caught by Jarasandha and he fled to Dwarka in order to make ready for the adversary. That is why Sri Aurobindo did not consider a retreat to be a bad thing always. "We live to fight another day": this should be the motto of the soldier. That ...

Why did he not do it instead of fighting eighteen unprofitable battles, running away to Dwarka, and then getting J killed by others?
