A vivid journey back to the time of Krishna, his holy city, and the Mahabharata War

â€¢ Recounts ecstatic celebrations, Krishnaâ€™s love for his wives and sons, and events surrounding the Mahabharata War

â€¢ Provides a historical timeline and real dates for the Mahabharata War and the sinking of Krishnaâ€™s city beneath the sea

Located on the west coast of India in the state of Gujarat, the city of Dwaraka is considered one of the seven holy cities of India. Archaeological discoveries of ruins and artifacts off the cityâ€™s coast have now conclusively proven what many have long believed: Modern Dwaraka is built on the same site as the famed city of the same name from the Puranas and the Mahabharata, the â€œGolden Cityâ€ of Lord Krishna.

Transporting us back five thousand years to the time of Krishnavatara, the age in which Krishna lived, Vanamali leads us on a journey alongside Lord Krishna as he reigns over the ancient port city of Dwaraka and helps the Pandavas through the Mahabharata War. Recounting ecstatic celebrations, Krishnaâ€™s love for his wives and sons, and events surrounding the epic war, the author stresses Krishnaâ€™s ability to contain all opposites and stand above duality like a lotus leaf floating on a running stream. Offering potent spiritual lessons throughout her story, she shows how the truly spiritual individual is able to unreservedly accept all dimensions of life and rise above all dualities of existence, war and peace, love and hate, sex and abstinence, action and meditation. She also provides a historical timeline for the Mahabharata War and the sinking of Krishnaâ€™s city beneath the sea--3126 BCE and 3090 BCE, respectively--and shows how the Mahabharata War occurred under circumstances quite similar to those of the present day, both politically and astrologically.

Through her vivid tale and her personal connection with Krishna across many lifetimes, Vanamali shows how the magic and mystery of Krishnaâ€™s ancient holy city live on through his spiritual teachings.
