Dwarka went under the sea. What disappeared was more than a city. It was the knowledge of water, drainage, building, trade and life on that coast, carried by people who were no longer there to pass it on.
This is how much of human knowledge has been lost. Life continues. Harvests come in. Courts sit. Roads are repaired. A generation dies, and something it knew disappears with it.
For twelve thousand years, human power has grown. Human self-knowledge has not kept pace. We learned to farm, build. cities, raise armies, create money, cross oceans, harness machines and, finally, build intelligence outside ourselves.
But did we ever understand the human. being receiving all that power?
One civilisation pursued that question with unusual persistence. Men with little more than a clay pot and an iron axe turned inward and asked: Who is it that says I? Their arguments about conscious-ness, identity and the nature of the human being survived long after their cities. changed or disappeared.
Mahaprasthana travels from the retreat of the ice to the rise of artificial intelli-gence, through cities and forests, king-doms and wars, money and machines, the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Dwarka and the Buddha, empire and industry, boardrooms and algorithms.
