Charles Alban: If youâve watched Dwarka:Atlantis of the East, youâll have noticed there are various unanswered questions by the end of the film.
For instance.
=> Could Dwarka really be the most ancient civilization in human history? => Was there or was there not a government cover-up?
=> Did Dwarka truly possess ahead-of-its-time technology?
=> What other ancient scriptures offer clues to the truth about Dwarka?
When shooting our first Dwarka film, we didn’t have the resources or expertise to answer all these questions.
But now that we have the community’s support. we’re hatching a plan to return to Dwarka – and piece together even more of this ancient puzzle.
Here’s the plot:
1. First, we’re going to assemble a team of researchers, archaeologists, filmographers, advisors, sponsorship partners and more.
2. Then, we’ll leverage the team’s strengths to draw up a research plan, and present it to Indian authorities and organizations – particularly the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), and the Indian Parliament themselves.
3. Upon gaining the necessary permits, we will acquire exploration inventory which includes rental boats, guides, diving and excavation gear, and filming equipment.
4. Every step of our journey will be documented by filmography experts using professional grade recording equipment – and subsequently compiled into our next documentary film for public viewing.
As you can see. the process will be tedious.
This brings to mind the following purport from the 1st canto wherein Srila Prabhupada explains the ongoing situation in India:
“This is due not to the issue in question, but to the polluted atmosphere of this age: systematically there is propaganda by a section of people to stop glorification of the name and fame of the Supreme Lord. Therefore, there is a great need for disseminating the message of ĆrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam all over the world. It is the duty of every responsible Indian to broadcast the transcendental message of ĆrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam throughout the world to do all the supermost good as well as to bring about the desired peace in the world. Because India has failed in her duty by neglecting this responsible work, there is so much quarrel and trouble all over the world.”
Once the facts are brought out to the world, i.e. India is the real “cradle of civilization” then all focus and attention will be on how to practically implement the Vedic teachings for suffering humanity.
