A Walk Across The Ruins Of Nalanda

And there I stood..right at the main gate. On the path leading into the realms of the bygone era. The eyes were firmly fixed on the whirlpool of red bricks. The mind hopes to unravel the mysteries attached to the spot, once a sacred site of an uninterrupted transmission of knowledge over 800 years !!!. And the heart hoping against hope to turn back the sands of time, and become a part of the legends and folklores that inspire educationists and knowledge hunters to throng to the ancient site in probably one of the remotest parts of the modern world !!!

Being an ardent history lover and a necrophiliac by heart, the ruins of Nalanda had always tantalized my conscience, weaving a web of a relentless desire to explore and roam around the legendary site, and experience the marvel of the most ancient University of the Indian Subcontinent !! After all, the present-day ruins of Nalanda were a center of learning from the 5th century to 1200 AD.

A serene sight of the well-manicured gardens, merging with the ruins in red bricks, welcomed me as I set foot into the heart of the compound, now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Sight !!! I hired a Govt approved guide to understand the intricacies attached, and extract some relevant meaning out of the pile of those red bricks of one of the first residential universities in the world !!

As we walked across the campus, my imaginative mind could not stop drawing a picture of what this place might have looked like in its heydays !!! An architectural masterpiece to say the least !!

Nalanda’s existence can be traced back to the 5th-6th century BC, as both Buddha and Mahavira are said to have visited and delivered lectures in the village !! Nalanda was perfectly placed on the trade route connecting the nearby town of Rajgir, the then capital of the mighty Magadh Empire. According to some sources, Emperor Ashoka built a great temple in the village during the 3rd century BC !!

But the noted history of Nalanda began under the glorious Gupta Empire. The foundation stones of the university are said to have been laid down by the 5th century Gupta Emperor, Kumaragupta I (415-455 AD). Many additional monasteries and temples were gradually constructed by his successors. Post the Gupta Empire, Harsha, the 7th century Emperor of Kannauj, is attributed to have taken important steps to maintain the University’s appeal !!

The guide further elaborated that during its zenith, the Mahavihara (University) contained up to 10,000 students and 2000 teachers !! The subjects taught ranged from Economics and Political Science to Metallurgy and Logic !! Such was Nalanda University’s aura and appeal that it saw students and scholars from Turkey, Korea, Japan, Persia, China, and Indonesia flock to its revered environs to grasp knowledge in its purest medium !!

We roamed around the campus soaking in the aura and coming across ruins of numerous hostels, temples, monasteries classrooms, and meditation halls. I even made my way inside a small room with a dark spot on the ceiling. “It used to be the kitchen”, told my guide !! “The students used to cook their meals during those days “, he further elaborated. The rice grains are still kept preserved at the Nalanda Museum, located right opposite the entrance.

I still remember the goosebumps I experienced the moment I stepped into a student’s room !! The stone bed and study temple can still be seen. There was a small circular pit at one corner of the study table, which is assumed to be an ink pot!! Standing in the middle, I could visualize the room lit with a lamp and a student engrossed in his studies !! Didn’t want to act as a hindrance to his concentration, so we decided to step out and continue with my exploration !!

“But how did it all end”, I enquired my guide. It's a question that had been burning inside me for the last few minutes. Since I started realizing the impact and the sheer importance the University held all around the world in those days. I wondered how could something of this nature could suddenly cease to exist.

I learned that the decline and the subsequent end of Nalanda University happened hand in hand with that Buddhism in those times. Since the 7th-8th century AD, the gradual rise of Hindu philosophy led to the waning of Buddhist following among the common Indian.

And the final blow came in the form of the Muslim invasion across Northern India during the 13th century. According to legends, around 1200 AD, a Muslim ruler by the name of Bakhtiyar Khilji, on his plundering spree, presumed the large University structures and the legendary Nalanda University Library to be a fort. He attacked the university and set the library on fire, gutting its believed collection of around 9 million books !!! The colossal library kept burning for months to come !!

It was evening by the time my tryst with the ancient Nalanda Mahavihara approached its highly unwanted end. As the slanting golden rays of the sun announced the fast-approaching twilight, I stood still in the middle..watching the red bricks erupt in a shade of honey glaze. Wanting to narrate the glorious stories from the past. Singing the lullabies of something mightier than power…Knowledge it is !!

This topic like water ice, this aquatic ice is present in our world

This topic like water ice, this aquatic ice is present in our world.

It is because of this aquatic ice that the terrestrial surface of our earth is very safe to a great extent.

Otherwise, our earth would have been completely covered in water long ago.

However, sometimes due to the warming of our earth, a considerable part of the land level goes into the ocean womb.

You probably know, friends, that the very famous empire of Hindus, Dwarka Sea, was conceived centuries ago.

Where did the Dwarka Empire reside?

Dwarka

Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Dwarka

Considered the original residence of Krishna, Bet Dwarka was the old port during the ancient times of Krishna before the Okha port was developed in Dwarka.

Jam Shri Ravalji,head of Jadeja clan Rajput (Kshatriya) migrated from Kutch to Halar,established himshelf & set his throne at Khambhalia in V.S.1582 for some years it was his capital & new city in V.S.1596 named “Navanagar”.

Jam Khambhalia is the head quaters of the newly created formed Devbhumi Dwarka District which was carved out of Jamnagar district on 15 August 2013.The district consists 4 talukas : khambhalia,Kalyanpur,Dwarka and Bhanvad.The named Devbhumi Dwarka is derived from the famous Dwarkadhish Temple of Dwraka city which is one of the four holy places according to Hindu mythology.

Dwarka is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat. The city’s name literally means the “gateway to heaven” in Sanskrit, as Dwar means “gate” and ka references “Brahma”.Dwarka has also been referred to throughout its history as “Mokshapuri”, “Dwarkamati”, and “Dwarkavati”. It is mentioned in the ancient prehistoric epic period of the Mahabharata. According to legend, Krishna settled here after he defeated and killed his uncle Kansa at Mathura. This mythological account of Krishna’s migration to Dwarka from Mathura is closely associated with the culture of Gujarat.Krishna is also said to have reclaimed 12 yojanas or 96 square kilometres (37 sq mi) of land from the sea to create Dwarka.

Dwarka was established as the capital in Saurashtra by the Aryans during the Puranaic. The Yadavas, who had migrated from Mathura, established their kingdom here when the city was known as “Kaushathali”. It was during this period that the city underwent rebuilding and was named DwarkaA friendly population of natives also prompted Krishna to settle at Dwarka when he decided, after fighting Jarasandha, the king of Magadh, to retreat from Mathura. The kingdom, also known as the Yaduvanshi empire, was established by Uugrasena, father of Kansa the then ruler and later Krishna flourished and extended its domainIt is said that Krishna conducted the administration of his kingdom from Dwarka while residing with his family in Bet Dwarka. The city’s Dwarkadhish Temple dedicated to Krishna was originally built around 2,500 years ago, but was destroyed by Mahmud Begada rulers and subsequently rebuilt in the 16th century. The temple is also the location of Dwaraka maţha, also called Sharada Matha/Peeth and “western peeth”, one of the four peeths (Sanskrit: “religious center”) established by Adi Shankaracharya.

As an important pilgrimage centre for Hindus, Dwarka has several notable temples, including Rukmini Devi Temple, Gomti Ghat, and Bet Dwarka. There is also a lighthouse at the land end point of Dwarka.

Archaeological investigations at Dwarka, both on shore and offshore in the Arabian Sea, have been performed by the Archaeological Survey of India. The first investigations carried out on land in 1963 revealed many artefacts. Excavations done at two sites on the seaward side of Dwarka brought to light submerged settlements, a large stone-built jetty, and triangular stone anchors with three holes. The settlements are in the form of exterior and interior walls, and fort bastions. From the typological classification of the anchors it is inferred that Dwarka had flourished as a port during the period of the Middle kingdoms of India. Coastal erosion was probably the cause of the destruction of what was an ancient port.

Where is the original Dwarka?

The mystery behind the lost city of Dwarka - Savaari Car ...

The initial excavations began about 100 years ago, in the 1930s, around the island of Bet Dwarka, located approximately 30 kilometres north of modern-day Dwarka in Gujarat's Jamnagar district. More excavations were carried out in the 1960s, but no definitive results were obtained.6 Feb 2023

Where is Dwarka where Krishna live?

According to legend, Krishna settled here after he defeated and killed his uncle Kansa at Mathura. This mythological account of Krishna's migration to Dwarka from Mathura is closely associated with the culture of Gujarat.

This was captured in the old Dwarka Palace or the Empire Sea with the passage of many years.

Perhaps due to such heat at that time the sea ice did not melt.

But these days we are facing this problem

This snow chain is troubling us a lot these days.

द्वारका

विकिपीडिया

https://en.wikipedia.org ›विकी› द्वारका

कृष्ण का मूल निवास माना जाने वाला बेट द्वारका, द्वारका में ओखा बंदरगाह विकसित होने से पहले कृष्ण के प्राचीन काल का पुराना बंदरगाह था।

जाम श्री रावलजी, जाडेजा वंश के राजपूत (क्षत्रिय) के प्रमुख, कच्छ से हलार में चले गए, खुद की स्थापना की और कुछ वर्षों के लिए खंभालिया में अपना सिंहासन स्थापित किया, कुछ वर्षों के लिए यह उनकी राजधानी थी और V.S.1596 में "नवानगर" नाम का नया शहर था।

जाम खंभालिया नव निर्मित देवभूमि द्वारका जिले का मुख्यालय है, जिसे 15 अगस्त 2013 को जामनगर जिले से अलग किया गया था। जिले में 4 ताल���का हैं: खंभालिया, कल्याणपुर, द्वारका और भनवाद। देवभूमि द्वारका नामित प्रसिद्ध द्वारकाधीश से लिया गया है द्वारका शहर का मंदिर जो हिंदू पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार चार पवित्र स्थानों में से एक है।

ऐसा माना जाता है कि द्वारका गुजरात की पहली राजधानी थी। शहर के नाम का शाब्दिक अर्थ संस्कृत में "स्वर्ग का प्रवेश द्वार" है, क्योंकि द्वार का अर्थ "द्वार" और का का अर्थ "ब्रह्मा" है। द्वारका को इसके पूरे इतिहास में "मोक्षपुरी", "द्वारकामति" और "द्वारकावती" के रूप में भी संदर्भित किया गया है। इसका उल्लेख प्राचीन प्रागैतिहासिक महाकाव्य काल महाभारत में मिलता है। पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, मथुरा में अपने चाचा कंस को हराने और मारने के बाद कृष्ण यहीं बस गए थे। कृष्ण के मथुरा से द्वारका प्रवास का यह पौराणिक विवरण गुजरात की संस्कृति से निकटता से जुड़ा हुआ है। यह भी कहा जाता है कि द्वारका बनाने के लिए कृष्ण ने समुद्र से 12 योजन या 96 वर्ग किलोमीटर (37 वर्ग मील) भूमि पुनः प्राप्त की थी।

पौराणिक काल में आर्यों द्वारा सौराष्ट्र में द्वारका को राजधानी के रूप में स्थापित किया गया था। जब यह शहर "कौशथली" के नाम से जाना जाता था, तब मथुरा से स्थानांतरित होकर आए यादवों ने यहां अपना राज्य स्थापित किया था। इसी अवधि के दौरान शहर का पुनर्निर्माण हुआ और इसका नाम द्वारका रखा गया। मूल निवासियों की मैत्रीपूर्ण आबादी ने भी कृष्ण को द्वारका में बसने के लिए प्रेरित किया जब उन्होंने मगध के राजा जरासंध से लड़ने के बाद मथुरा से पीछे हटने का फैसला किया। राज्य, जिसे यदुवंशी साम्राज्य के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, की स्थापना तत्कालीन शासक कंस के पिता उग्रसेन ने की थी और बाद में कृष्ण फले-फूले और इसके क्षेत्र का विस्तार किया। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि कृष्ण ने बेट द्वारका में अपने परिवार के साथ रहते हुए द्वारका से अपने राज्य का प्रशासन चलाया। कृष्ण को समर्पित शहर का द्वारकाधीश मंदिर मूल रूप से लगभग 2,500 साल पहले बनाया गया था, लेकिन महमूद बेगड़ा शासकों ने इसे नष्ट कर दिया था और बाद में 16 वीं शताब्दी में इसका पुनर्निर्माण किया गया था। यह मंदिर द्वारका मठ का स्थान भी है, जिसे शारदा मठ/पीठ और "पश्चिमी पीठ" भी कहा जाता है, जो आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा स्थापित चार पीठों (संस्कृत: "धार्मिक केंद्र") में से एक है।

हिंदुओं के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण तीर्थस्थल के रूप में, द्वारका में कई उल्लेखनीय मंदिर हैं, जिनमें रुक्मिणी देवी मंदिर, गोमती घाट और बेट द्वारका शामिल हैं। द्वारका के भूमि अंतिम बिंदु पर एक प्र��ाशस्तंभ भी है।

अरब सागर में तट और अपतटीय दोनों स्थानों पर, द्वारका में पुरातात्विक जांच भारतीय पुरातत्व सर्वेक्षण द्वारा की गई है। 1963 में भूमि पर की गई पहली जांच से कई कलाकृतियाँ सामने आईं। द्वारका के समुद्र के किनारे दो स्थानों पर की गई खुदाई से जलमग्न बस्तियाँ, एक बड़े पत्थर से निर्मित घाट और तीन छेद वाले त्रिकोणीय पत्थर के लंगर प्रकाश में आए। बस्तियाँ बाहरी और आंतरिक दीवारों और किले के बुर्जों के रूप में हैं। एंकरों के टाइपोलॉजिकल वर्गीकरण से यह अनुमान लगाया जाता है कि द्वारका भारत के मध्य साम्राज्यों की अवधि के दौरान एक बंदरगाह के रूप में विकसित हुआ था। तटीय कटाव संभवतः एक प्राचीन बंदरगाह के विनाश का कारण था।

मूल द्वारका कहाँ है?

द्वारका के खोए हुए शहर के पीछे का रहस्य - सावरी कार...

शुरुआती खुदाई लगभग 100 साल पहले, 1930 के दशक में, बेट द्वारका द्वीप के आसपास शुरू हुई थी, जो गुजरात के जामनगर जिले में आधुनिक द्वारका से लगभग 30 किलोमीटर उत्तर में स्थित है। 1960 के दशक में और अधिक खुदाई की गई, लेकिन कोई निश्चित परिणाम प्राप्त नहीं हुआ। 6 फरवरी 2023

द्वारका कहाँ है जहाँ कृष्ण रहते थे?

पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, मथुरा में अपने चाचा कंस को हराने और मारने के बाद कृष्ण यहीं बस गए थे। कृष्ण के मथुरा से द्वारका प्रवास का यह पौराणिक वृत्तांत गुजरात की संस्कृति से निकटता से जुड़ा हुआ है।

यह पुराने द्वारका पैलेस या साम्राज्य समंदर में खींची गई काफि साल बीतते हुए

शायद उस समय इतना उत्ताप के कारण समंदर के बर्फ पीघलता था नहीं

मगर आजकल हमें यह परेशानी खाए जा रहा है

आजकल काफि परेशान हमें कर रहा है यह बर्फ की शृंखला

Mrityunjay: Durykarna (2)

“Karna, you win Yagyaseni/Draupadi in the wager (here; the swayamvar)! If she rejects you, then I’ll see what is to be done. Win this wager, not for yourself but for me.” 

“I will do anything for you. Grandsire Bhishma won the princesses of Kashi and offered them to your grandfather Vichitravirya--in the same way I shall offer Yagyaseni to you!”

Karna paused for a bit before continuing, “I will offer the lotus of Yagyaseni (here; she is referred to as the lotus flower) at your feet, but on one condition--”

“What condition? Pray tell! I’ll accept it regardless.”

“I will participate in this wager at the very end. Moreover, after winning you ought to fulfill a wish of mine.” 

“What is it that you wish for, tell me!”

“The town that I was born and brought up in...Champanagari is fortunately in the kingdom of Anga. So, I wish for you to declare my hometown as a royal city! The renovations for the city shall be announced in Kampilya itself.”

“Karna, you really are something else (literal trans. ‘You are blessed’)! Even if you had asked for the entire Kuru empire in exchange of Yagyaseni, I would’ve given it to you. But you simply asked for the rehabilitation of the place you were born in. I swear Karna, you are the divine symbol of true, selfless love!” 

I drew him in a close embrace, hugging him tightly. He was overwhelmed. He took my hand in his and patted it gently, affection evident in his action.

For the love of--! I just couldn’t figure out who Karna actually was.

I glanced around the entire pavilion. All the known-unknown kings of Aryavarta were present there. The fragrance of Draupadi has maddened everyone then! Magadh’s emperor Jarasandha, Shalya--the ruler of Madra, the king of Sindhu Jayadratha, Chedi raj Shishupal. It was an assembly of many mighty heroes! 

But I don’t know why none of these warriors felt as brilliant and attractive to me as Karna! To tell him as much I leaned to my right side to whisper in his ear (the literal trans. is ‘I brought my mouth near his earlobe’ DEAR LORD), but he was distracted. He was just staring at Shri Krishna without so much as blinking once! I tried to grab his attention with our usual tactic, by lightly hitting his elbow! He was startled as he turned to look at me. My lips parted to tell him about his beauty but was interrupted as the Panchal crown prince Dhrishtadyumna walked in with his sister...Yagyaseni.

You have Forgotten Him . Ah...!!

Delhi : 02.12.2020 At 11:54AM

An english man who did let you know ancient india and it's glory - you have forgotten him. Haven't you ?

I have met many fellow indians and asked them about King Ashoka . They, in reply, told me about Maurya empire , Budhisms , rock edict and Ashoka's achievement - everything in one go . As I asked - do you know about James Princep, their ans. Came

With "No".

It is known to me that in india there was an ancient practice"Shruti"( being learned by listening something ) but it was not known to me that in 21st century too has its impact across .

I won't write something which is told by indians about Ashoka but would like to tribute the greatest English man James Princep who deciphered edicts and made Brahmi scripts vivid and so people of india could learn about a king and his vast kingdom .

James Princep was an assayer who came in india 15 September 1819 and worked at Asiatic society of Bengal . Very soon he was sent to Benares Mint and there he studied antiquities and made several experiments . He was an Orientalist with many interests in I.e Numismatics, Metallurgy and Meteorology .

He started observing ancients coins of india in the city . Very soon when visited delhi he found same scripts on the pillars and in Allahabad visits too . Same description he found on the rock . He started decoding and finally came up with result when fount this rock with two letters that depicted scripts is Bramhi scripts .

Here is the name which was written on the rock. - Danam . When srilanka came to know about this they communicated to Princept about Pali scripts and extensive studied brought two name in the light - "DevamPriya Piyadasi . Deciphering Brahmhi scripts made everything clear that the rocks , pillars belonged to Mauraya emperor . This way Kharoshthi scripts too deciphered by James Princep and name came up "Ashoka ". He made a collective journal and translated into english and gave It to india .

Above is deciphered image by James princep , on that basis Ashoka regained it's identity in india . Who ever try to praise British and their contribution in india now ? All are busy in Hindu rastra and dialogue .

We indian must be thankful to Britisher who established a society of antiquarian in 16th century and so from there journey started to know about past and it's dynasties . Don't be surprised that Indian glory is discovered by The west . This is as true as sun rises in the east . There were several antiquarian society in the West but not in the east . British came and tortured us but gave us everything which we were not able to know . Thank him and remember him . They have gifted you your past to cherish , to speak , to maintain .

Above is Princep Ghat in calcutta in a memory of James Princep . He died at the age of 41 but in very short time digged out very precious thing in India so that 19th century onwards indian started knowing about Ashoka and Magadh .

Without islamic invasion, India would have developed on a completely different trajectory. Our art, architecture, science, literature, economy and people would not have suffered as terribly as they did under countless muslim rulers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_India - I put this link in here for Quora moderators who would want to verify my claim thanks to muslims who will complain about this post.

Without islamic invasion - *Millions of us would not have been enslaved or forced to leave India. *Millions of us would not have died in wars, famines and general malaise induced by invasion. *Our women would not have had to commit sati & johar to retain their honour. *Our women would not be forced to wear veils or cover-up or marry young just to protect themselves from lecherous muslim neighbours and rulers. *Our artists would not have lost their skills at moulding stone as if it was butter and carving fantastic monument - public, private, secular and spiritual. *Our dance and music in the north would not have suffered so much that now only folk system survives. Look at all the classical systems and they are from the fringes of islamic rule, in states that remained Hindu. Whatever was there in Ujjain, Malawa, Matura, Magadh etc died and can’t be revived. *Our literature would be more vibrant and more indigenous. It would not suffer from the gender and religious issues it has now. *Our science and technology would have grown apace with that of Europe, China and Asia through contacts we had from various ports, cities and roads that connected us to the rest of the world. *Our economy would have remained strong and we would still be the golden nation that everyone aspired to reach. Let's not forget, Colombus didn’t leave Europe to find the slums of Bombay, he went in search of the riches of India.

As a nation, we have had our empires and kingdoms. As Siddhant Agrawal as said, we would probably have developed like Europe, nation-states that are united in history, culture and religion.

As Mil Nazarene has said, look at nations that were not invaded by islam and you can see how much better off they are than us. Islam, wherever it went, brought destruction, death and loss of culture. Building a few mosques and tombs does not make up for wholescale destruction of nation’s identity.

One thing is for sure, we would have been a happier, better nation without invasion from islamic or european nations.

THE GUPTA PERIOD IS DESCRIBED BY SOME HISTORIANS AS THE 'GOLDEN AGE'.

The term 'golden age' refers to the age of Indian history during which remarkable progress where witnessed in different sphere of human life like polity, economy, culture, society etc. Let's discuss it separately.

(a)Polity:

With the decline of mauryan Empire, the unity and integrity of the India shattered. The central authority disappeared and regional principalities emerged everywhere. This trend was reversed by emergence of Gupta ruler in 4th century. They ruled over their extensive Empire with the capital at Patliputra. The Gupta age witnessed political unification of India after a long period. A large number of strong and effective rulers came to power during Gupta period, like, Chandragupta I , Samudragupta, Chandragupta II and skandgupta.

(b)Ecomony

Gupta age was full of economic prosperity. According to Chinese Traveller Fa-hein, Magadh, the power centre of Gupta Empire was full of cities and its rich people. In ancient India the Guptas issued the largest number of gold coins which were called 'dinaras' in their inscriptions.

(c) Art and Literature

Gupta rulers were patrons of art and literature. For example, Samudragupta was represented playing Veena on his coin. During Gupta age beautiful images of Buddha were fashioned at Sarnath and Mathura, but the finest art was Ajanta painting which is related to Gupta times. Gupta age is remarkable for production of secular literature. For example, Kalidas belonged to the age. He was the greatest poet of classical Sanskrit literature and wrote abhijnanasakuntalam. There was also an increase in the production of religious literature.

(d) Science and Technology

In mathematics, a work called Aryabhatiya was written by Aryabhatta in this age. Aryabhatta displayed and brought awareness of both the zero system and the decimal system. The Gupta age craftsmen distinguished themselves by their work in Iron and bronze, for example, the Iron Pillar at Mehrauli.

Thus,in no doubt Gupta period was the 'Golden Age' of Indian history.
