| Various
theories have been propounded about the identification of these places. I have, after some
analysis, come to the conclusion that the old Dwarka, which was near Prabhasa, was
submerged in the sea. When Shri Krishna as 'God
Himself' attracted the worship of the Hindus in the fourteenth century, there was a search
for Dwarka, and the place now known as Dwarka in the north-western corner of Saurashtra
was fixed upon as I Shri Krishna's Dwarka. There is no doubt whatever that modern Dwarka
has nothing to do with Shri Krishna's Dwarka which was very near the Gir Hills and
Prabhasa.
There is an interesting speculation which deserves careful
notice. |
