Tsunami of 3102 BCE (Part 1)
Effects, Consequences and Future (Part 1)
West Coast of Aryavart in 3102 BCE (Present Day: Somnath, Gujarat)
Near the temple, made of sandalwood (Old Somnath Temple built by Krishna), the peaceful ocean immediately became mad. Waves of ocean started rising higher towards the sky. After few moments, the shining sun was covered with the water walls. People became scary and there was chaos everywhere. Fortunately, the city near sandalwood temple of Shiva, were safe, as the waves started moving away. People were relieved that Prabhas Patan was safe. However, the waves were moving towards the familiar direction. Towards the golden city, known as Dwarka. People had never seen such high waves of ocean. This was clearly a natural disaster. It was abnormal, because no disaster had such power. The waves seemed so powerful that they could even break the mountains and high rocks or whatever tried to come in their way. It seemed as if the waves had the target and they were moving towards their destination quickly.
The leaders of Prabhas Patan
commanded to evacuate the city as soon as possible. Moreover, other leaders
ordered medical teams to stay alert, in case any bad news comes. People started
moving towards the thick forest at the boundary of their city.

Satyaki and Kritavarma had been boasting about their
triumphs in the Mahabharata war, since they both fought from opposite sides. [Satyaki
was disciple of Arjun and he fought from Pandava side. Bur Kritavarma was the
commander of Narayani Army, and the army was given to Duryodhana by Krishna. So
he had to fight from Kaurava Army.] Yadavas had selected their groups and they
all were boasting and drinking wines, unaware of the coming disaster. Suddenly,
the boasting turned into the quarrel and Yadavas took out their swords like
soldiers. Satyaki and Kritavarma both were now fighting with each other.
Meanwhile, Pradyumna (Eldest son of Krishna and Rukmini) arrived to stop them.
But the fight had become unstoppable. They had become bloodthirsty. Pradyumna
somehow managed to pierce his way inside the fighting groups.
Krishna was watching the scenario
from the balcony of his golden palace. Sad that his own dynasty wanted to
destroy each other. They were fighting and killing each other like animals. He
raised his gaze towards the horizon and felt something coming towards them in
unavoidable speed. Meanwhile, birds started flying in no direction and sound of
air became bizarre. Krishna could hear the voice of waves touching the high
rocks of his beloved golden city. A sword came from nowhere and passed through
Pradyumna’s stomach. Krishna heard the last painful cry of his eldest son, and
the next attack beheaded Pradyumna and his dead body lied on the rock. Krishna
immediately went inside, seeing the assassination of his son, and ordered
soldiers to prepare troops. He told Balarama to evacuate their parents Vasudeva
and Devaki towards Mathura along with Revati, Rukmini and other queens as soon
as possible. Balarama did as Krishna said. And in time all royal members of Yadav
Family were on their way towards Mathura except Krishna, Balarama and their
sons. Balarama ordered to evacuate the city as soon as possible. People felt
fear in their lungs. And they started leaving the city as soon as possible. Krishna,
Balarama, and their sons started helping people to prepare boats and go towards
Prabhas Patan through safe path. Few people made their way towards the Indus River
and some followed Krishna and Balarama towards Prabhas Patan.

Meanwhile, the high walls of water
came in full speed and broke the main golden gate and bridge of Dwarka, which
was connected with city area. Evacuation of city had spread chaos and people
were losing their stuff. Krishna and Balarama tried to save as many people as
they could. Krishna guided the sailors to sail the boats in safe direction.
People, who were seeing the dreadful scene of destruction of the city, were
speechless. They could not imagine how the water flooded into their houses and
destroyed them all in once. The grad buildings, made f\of pure gold, which were
like sky scrapers, even they couldn’t bear the force of the water. Skyscrapers
were flowed with water. Krishna and Balarama glanced to see the destruction and
the waters broke the main gate of Dwarkadheesh palace, and flooded inside the
golden palace. The waters took Rukmini Palace, Satyabhama Palace, and Revati
Tower one by one and destroyed them all. In few moments, the yellow flag of
peacock feather at the top of the palace sank in the water along with the hope.
The high walls of water moved ahead and swallowed the entire city of gold, and
then water became peaceful again as if it had achieved its goal. Krishna and
Balarama saw their entire city destructing at once. The beloved city of Krishna
was now just a dream. Gold had been swallowed by the ocean and it would be
formed into clay as the time passes.

Krishna and Balarama managed to save
few people and they successfully reached at Prabhas Patan. But that city was
entirely empty. Few people were tried to serve those people who were in pain. Hunger
and Illness with plague had captured remaining Yadavas, and they were dying
eventually in front of Krishna’s eyes. Balarama’s limit was over now, and he
couldn’t watch his own people dying like this. So, he finally decided to leave
in the forest and from the earth. Krishna permitted and he also followed him
the forest.
Balarama sat under a tree and
started meditating, while Krishna was wandering in the forest. Balarama left
his breath through meditation and a long snake with uncountable heads appeared
from his body and disappeared towards the sky. Balarama died. Krishna wandered
for days and then he sat under a tree, resting and thirsty. He closed his eyes,
stretching his legs. A hunter was in hunt for an animal. He saw a ear-shaped
blue skin through the bush. He aimed his arrow and hit the target. But it was
not what he supposed it. He heard a painful cry of human. He quickly ran in the
direction of voice, and he saw that he didn’t hit any ear of an animal, but he
hit the leg of Krishna. Blood was coming out from Krishna’s body. The hunter
started pleading to Krishna, but Krishna assure him not to worry, he was just a
medium of his death. It was the curse, and he just became medium to make that
curse true.
Eventually, Krishna left his breath
under that tree and departed to his spiritual abode, Vainkunth. Few people, who
wanted not to fall ill, departed towards the Indus River and few stayed there.
To be continued...
Note: Mausala Parva describes that Tsunami came when Arjun was about to leave after rescuing people. That Version would be published later, which would portray a story how Arjun saw Dwarka was being swallowed after the death of Krishna.
