Mahabharata states that Sarasvati became invisible at a place called Vinasana due to her contempt of Sudras and Abhiras and thus the Rishis lost her at this place. This and subsequent narration clearly means that it were the Rishis who could not see the Sarasvati at this place and that Sarasvati was lost to them at Vinasana and not that the River had been completely lost in the desert as it is famously accepted. Mahabharat indicates that there were numerous other Trithas (pilgrimage site) on the banks of Sarasvati, ahead of Vinasana which were visited by mighty Baladeva.
The Mahabharata after narration of the Tirth at Vinasana, highlights that Baladeva next visited Subhumika located on the bank of Sarasvati where he came in contact with fair complexioned Apsaras. Next he visited the pilgrimage site of Gargasrota on the bank of same river. Next he visited Sankha on the bank of same river and then on to Dwaita lake. He then proceeded to the Tirtha called Nagadhanwana onbanks of Sarasvati. From this point Baladeva, face turned east, visited hundreds and thousands of famous tirthas that occurred at every step along his journey along the banks of river Sarasvati and reached the spot where Sarasvati turns in an eastward direction towards the forest of Nirmisha.
The most interesting and surprising aspect that has been highlighted in the Mahabharata itself and has not been much talked about (again very surprisingly) is the mention that Sarasvati changes course eastwards towards the forest of Naimisha, where the story of Mahabharata was narrated. The Forest of Naimisha is believed to be located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, not far from Triveni Sangam where Ganga, Jamna and Sarasvati meet in a holy confluence.
When Mahabharata state this unequivocally and as clearly as the daylight, that Sarasvati did not completely die out at Vinasana and that it continued and followed an easterly course as compared with Ghagar-Hakra which followed a westerly course, why is it that history is being re-written and incorrectly presented by some Indians.
Could any of the Indian posters here please answer this question. Thanks.
