Prelude The wisdom of our ancient epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata

serve as a beacon light to the seekers of spiritual bliss and hold eternal

lessons of the victory of good over evil. In the Bhagvad Gita Krishna

tells how every human being can come to live the subtle philosophical

principles laid down in our scriptures in the actual day-to-day life.

Hinduism, which has millions of followers in India and around the

world today, is one of the world's oldest religions. For well over 3,000

years, it has been accumulating the sacred stories and heroic epics that

make up the mythology of Hinduism. Nothing in this complex and

colorful mythology is fixed and firm. Pulsing with creation,

destruction, love, and war, it shifts and changes.

Most myths occur in several different versions, and many characters

have multiple roles, identities, and histories. This seeming confusion

reflects the richness of a mythology that has expanded and taken on

new meanings over the centuries. In this myth, antient rishis, with

their divine powers could predict the prospects of India in all spheres

INDIA has a rich cultural tradition with harmonious blending of art,

religion and philosophy which are beautifully interwoven in the fabric

of Indian way of life and thought .

INDIAN culture is actually an outcome of continuous synthesis of

different cultures and has absorbed many external influences in the

course of history.

The first stirring of civilization occurred amongst the people of India

some 4,000 years before the birth of Christ. From those ancient times

till recent past, we were exposed to unbroken sequence of

civilizations.

There were citations about the technologies we are now witnessing in

Indian Mythology. Hence, this presentation has been focused on

establishing the fact to substantiate that modern technology, even at

the global level has its roots in Indian Mythology.4

In this section, the significance of Indian

Mythology and

the need to study it will be explained

• The volume of knowledge in the myths not only transmits religious

experiences, but also projects role models of behavior patterns which

explain different kinds of worship and to reconnect the modern

society to the bygone ages.

• Modern theories on mythology sum up the branch that explains the

spiritual potential of individuals and societies. Also contemporary

theorists say that myths explore common archetypes and explain mind

patterns especially in relation to the pairs of opposites like good and

bad, virtue and wise etc.

Introduction to INDIAN Mythology

Through generations, different stories in Indian mythology have

been passed either by word of mouth or through carefully stored records

of the same. These stories, which form the backbone of Indian

mythology are a great medium for people to inculcate interest in Indian

Culture in the younger generation, both the natives and non-natives.

Salient features of Indian mythology.

The stories are most effective in conveying powerful messages to

the readers, thereby influencing their personality.

The intention of Indian mythological literature is to convey subtle

facts, rules and maxims to guide our daily lives.

Continued….9

There are usually multiple stories explaining the same fact, as an

occasion or festival with each version being right in its own

merit. This is a result of the natural evolution the stories might

have gone through in the process of being handed over from

generation to generation for centuries.

Across geographical differences, myths taken from the Vedas,

Puraṇas and Ithihasas retain their original intent, adding local

flavour only in terms of language, imagery etc.

10

o This section refers to the mythological aspects found in Vedic

literature of the very ancient Vedic religion, mostly centred round

the hymns of the Ṛgvedha.

o There are four Vedhas-

o Ṛgvedha., Yajur, Sāma and Atharvana vedha. They

remain the principle texts of the ancient Indian civilization,

venerated till date.

o It is very fascinating to note that Vedhic lore contains numerous

elements, which are common to Indo-European mythological

traditions, like the mythologies of the Persian, Greek, Roman,

Celtic, Germanic and Slavic civilizations.

Vedic Mythology

Continued…. 11

Vedhic hymns refer to many deities, often 33, consisting of

eight Vasus, eleven Rudhras, twelve Ādhithyas, according to

late Ṛgvedhic Prajāpathi. These deities belong to the three

dimensions of the universe i.e: heavens, the earth, and the

intermediate space.

Major deities of the Vedhic tradition are:

Indhra, Sūrya, Agni, Vāyu, Varuṇa, Mithra, Adhithi,

Yama, Soma, Uṣhas, Sarasvathi, Pruthvi and Rudhra.

Vedhic mythology has in many ways contributed to the evolution and

development of later Hindhuism and Hindhu mythology.12

POST-VEDHIC MYTHOLOGY

Post–Vedhic mytholgy, popularly known as Hindhu mytholgy is the large body of

traditional stories related to Hindhuism and contained mostly in Sanskrit literature,

(such as the epics, Ramayana & Mahabharata, the Puranas, and the Vedas), Ancient

Tamil literature (such as the Sangam literature and Periya Puranam), several other

works, most notably the Bhagavata Purana, claim the status of a Fifth Veda and

other religious regional literature of South Asia.

The important features of Hindhu Mythology are:

It is a range of diverse traditions, developed by different sects, people and

philosophical schools. Far from being confined to one particular region, one can

note that this collection is a subset of Nepali and pan Indian culture.

It is a collection of works not only marked by different regions but also composed at

different time periods. On a practical but surprising note, all of these are not

necessarily held by all Hindhus to be literal accounts of historical events of any era.13

VEDAS

The roots of mythology that evolved from

classical Hinduism come from the times of the Vedic

civilization, from the ancient Vedic religion. The

four Vedas, notably the hymns of the Rigveda, contain

allusions to many themes.

The characters, philosophy and stories that make up

ancient Vedic myths are indelibly linked with Hindu

beliefs. The Vedas are four in number, namely

1. RigVeda

2. YajurVeda

3. SamaVeda

4. AtharvaVeda14

PURANAS

The Purāṇas deal with narratives that are old. With the derivative noun

Purāṇa, meaning "old story", we need to note that Purāthana is Sanskrit for

"ancient". The Purāṇic literature goes through a large time period from pre-

epic to post-epic. The eighteen Purāṇas are divided into three groups

based on their allegiance to Brahmā, Viṣhṇu and Śhiva.

The Purāṇas for Brahmā are Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa, Brahmavaivartha

Purāṇa Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa , Bhaviṣhya Purāṇa, Vāmana Purāṇa and

Brahma Purāṇa.

The Purāṇas for Viṣhṇu are Viṣhṇu Purāṇa, Nāradhīya Purāṇa Padhma

Purāṇa, Garuḍa Purāṇa, Varāha Purāṇa , Bhāgavatha Purāṇa

The Purāṇas for Śhiva are Mathsya Purāṇa, Kurma Purāṇa, Linga

Purāṇa, Shiva Purāṇa , Skandha Purāṇa, and Agni Purāṇa 15

ITIHASA

In the period of Classical Sanskrit, much material is preserved in

the Sanskrit epics which provide a wide range of information about

ancient Nepali and Indian society, philosophy, culture, religion, and

ways of life. The Mahabharata, world's longest epic runs to more than

2,000,000 lines.

The two great Hindu Epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata tell the

story of two specific incarnations of Vishnu (Rama and Krishna) known

as Itihasa (History) and serve as both religious scriptures and a rich

source of philosophy and morality.

The most famous is the Bhagavad Gita where Lord Krishna explains

the concepts of duty and righteousness to Arjuna before the Battle of

Kurukshetra. These stories, deeply embedded in Hindu philosophy

serve as parables and sources of devotion for Hindus.16

EPICS

The epics are part of the Ithihāsa genre which is semi-historical. The

definition of Ithihāsa has varied over time, with the most popular one

being that it is a narrative of past which includes teachings on the

purpose of human life.

Immense material is available to us in the Sanskrit epics, the

Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhāratha which are set in different Yugas.

The Rāmāyaṇa, written by the poet Vālmīki, describes the life and

times of Lord Rāma (the seventh avatar of Lord Viṣhṇu) in the

Thretha yuga.

The Mahābhāratha describes the life and times of the Pāṇḍavas in

the Dhvāpara yuga, a period associated with Lord Kriṣhṇa (the eighth

avathāra of Lord Viṣhṇu).17

THE CONCEPT OF YUGA (TIME OF PERIOD)

A brief understanding of time periods in the Indian context is

necessary for us to gain more clarity. Yuga means an “Era” or

“Epoch”. In the “Hindhu theory of Creation”, Life is created and

destroyed in the beginning and end of every Yuga.

In total, there are 4 Yugas. These are the Sathya or Krutha

Yuga, the Thretha Yuga, the Dhvāpara Yuga, and the

Kali Yuga. The time period of each Yuga is defined to be between 4

hundred thousand to 4 billion plus years in a descending order from

Sathya yuga to Kali yuga. When all the four Yugas are completed, it is

one Yuga cycle and the next starts with Sathya yuga again. These 4

yugas follow a timeline ratio of 4:3:2:1 Continued…. 18

It is interesting to note that specific qualities of human life

are given to these Yugas and it is said that with each Yuga

virtue, wisdom, knowledge and even the life-span of the

humans progressively decreases.

It is said that from 1, 00, 000 years in Sathya yuga, the life-

span comes down to 100 years in the Kali yuga and at the

end of Kali yuga it will be just 20 years.

Indian mythology spans many Yugas.

19

A collection of myth, especially one belonging to a particular religious or

cultural tradition is the dictionary definition of mythology. It is also defined

as a set of stories or beliefs about a particular person, institution, or

situation, especially when exaggerated or fictitious.

Mythology is a branch of knowledge that deals with narratives about

Goddesses & Gods, demi-gods, legendary personalities of different

civilizations and their cultures. Traditions, folklore and legends are similar

to and sometimes part of Mythology.

Since mythology typically incorporates superhuman (Alian) characters, it is

important for us to study them with a “time-perspective”. We also need to

understand the mythology of our respective cultures to bond with it better.

Mythology: Definition and Need to Study:

RAMAYANA

The epic of Vālmīki describing Rāma’s journey concentrates on the

idealism of all characters there in.

The Rāmāyaṇa consists of 24,000 verses in seven kāṇḍas (Books or

Chapters) and 500 Sargas (cantos).

The epic is central to the cultures of most south-east Asian countries,

inspires all till date with its unique portrayal of philosophy, devotion,

and human values.

Rāmāyaṇa has been re-written in Hindi, Thamizh and other Indian

languages and translated world over in many more languages.

In the Indian cultural context, it is closest to the heart of the populace

than any other narrative with the characters of Rāma and his brothers,

wife Sīthā and devotee Hanumān etched in their psyche. 21

Ramasethu is an engineering masterpiece. While

conservative retellings attribute the construction of

the bridge to the vanaras faith in Ram, scientific

point of view suggests that technology exists to

make stones float on water. Nal and Neel were two

architects instrumental in building a bridge from

India to Sri Lanka within 5 days with the help of

dedicated work force of million Vanaras. Valmiki

Ramayana discusses the concept of civil

engineering in building this bridge in his original

work.

MAHABHARATHA

It has been called the “National epic of India”, in the same sense that

the Iliad is the “National epic of Classical Greece”.

The Mahabharata is the story of a great war that ended one age and

began another.

Traditionally, the authorship of the epic, Mahabharata is attributed to

Vyāsa. Scholars till date attempt to understand its historical growth and

compositional layers of Jaya, Vijaya, Bhāratha and Mahābhāratha.

The story has been passed down to us in a classical canon of Sanskrit

verses some 100,000 stanzas long; over 200,000 individual verse that's

about 12 times the length of the Western Bible. The best scholarly

evidence indicates that the earliest layers of the epic were composed

between 2500 and 3000 years ago. The text had reached pretty much

its present form by about 300-400 C.E. (each Śhloka is a couplet) and

also many long passages in prose.28Continued….

Mahabharata has also been called the “Hindu Bible”. It is important

at the outset to recognize that epic and bible are both Eurocentric

terms. The former implies the kind of single-minded focus on the hero

and his deeds that characterizes the stories that were learned as epics.

It narrates about the Kurukṣhethra war and the lives of the Kauravas

and the Pāṇḍava princes who fought the war. The best component of

this epic is the Bhagavadh Gīthā, the discourse given by Lord Sri

Kriṣhṇa to Arjuna in the battlefield. Besides mythology proper, the

voluminous epics also provide a wide range of information about

ancient Indian society, philosophy, culture, religion and ways of life.

29

Continued….

Epic and bible together imply an absolute division

between the sacred and the profane - one pure fable

and the other Holy Truth - that simply doesn't exist

in the Hindu vision.

The Mahabharata itself says it quite positively.

What is found herein may also be found in other sources,

What is not found herein does not matter.

30

Different characters in Mahabharata• Krishna was the portion of Vishnu or

Narayana. [Protector of the

Universal system]. The divine

Vishnu himself descended into the

womb of Devaki and was born as

her son, Krishna.

• Bhishma the youngest among the

eight vasus whom were born of

celestial river Ganga by her husband

Santanu.

• Here Ganga is not just a normal

river. It is called as "Akasha

Ganga" or “Milky way” from

where She is believed to come. This

coincides with the Milky way, the

name of our galaxy from where

the Ganges was believed to be

sourced.31

TIME OF MAHABHARATHAThe Mahabharatha war took place exactly on 22 November, 3067 BC.

(Kaliyuga started at 3102 BC based on Aryabhata’s Surya Siddhanta theory).

The Bhishma Parva and Udyoga Parva of Mahabharatha provides considerable

astronomical/astrological descriptions and omens that the Mahabharata war was

approaching.

It also describes the different planetary position during the war with

Jayadhradha also reveals a day closer to this as per Researchers.

Taking this as reference,

In 2003, a two day seminar was held on 5th and 6th January, in Bangalore, on

"The Date of Mahabharata War:

Based on Astronomical Data Using “Planetarium Software“. The following

eminent Scientists submitted their research papers

(1)Dr. S. Balakrishna of NASA, USA;

(2)Dr. B.N. Narahari Achar, Department of Physics, Memphis University,

USA;

(3)Dr. R. N. Iyengar, Department of Civil Engineering, IISc, Bangalore;

(4) Dr. S. Kalyanaraman, Saraswati River Research Centre, Chennai.

These scientists agreed that there does not exist any contradiction between any

two descriptions of planetary configurations given in the Mahabharata.Continued….43

According to Dr. Kalyanaraman [Saraswati Research Center], the

eclipses occurred in 3067 B.C.- the lunar eclipse on 29th

September at the asterism, Krittika and the solar eclipse on 14th

October at the asterism, Jyestha. He also found the estimates of Dr.

K. S. Raghavan and Dr. Narahari Achar correct and, on that basis,

calculated the dates of some other important events of

Mahabharata.

With a minor deviation, researcher Dr. P. V. Holay examined 6

planetary configurations given in the Mahabharata and concluded

that the War began on 13thNovember, 3143 B.C. whereas Dr. K.

Srinivasa. Raghavan and his co-worker Dr. G. S. Sampath

Iyengar, using the Planetarium software came to the conclusion

that the Kurukshetra War began on 22nd day of November, 3067

B.C. (according to the present Gregorian calendar). Professor Dr.

Narahari Achar also arrived at the same conclusion.

Continued…. 44

45

For example:

• Lord Krishna, on His final peace mission, set out for Hastinapur

on 26thSeptember, 3067 B.C. when the moon was at the

asterism, Revati.

• Lord Krishna arrived at Hastinapur on 28th September, 3067

B.C., when the moon was at the asterism, Bharani. The full

moon and lunar eclipse at Krittika occurred on 29th September,

3067 B.C. The solar eclipse at Jyestha occurred on 14th

October, 3067 B.C.

• Lord Balarama set out for pilgrimage on 1st November, 3067

and concluded His pilgrimage on 12th December, 3067 B.C.

• The War began on 22nd November, 3067 B.C.

• The winter solstice occurred on 13th January,

3066 B.C. The comet Mahaghora appeared at the asterism

Pushya in October, 3066 B.C.

In support of these events,

Greek travellers who came to India following Alexander’s

invasion have pointed to the same approximate date of

Mahabharatha and left us references on this. For eg. Authors like

Pliny referred to Krishna as Heracles, derived from Hari-Krishna.

They record that the Indian Heracles - our Krishna - was held in

special honour by the Sourseni tribe one of whose major cities

was Methora.

They are recognized as Shuraseni and Mathura. (Shura was the

father of Vasudeva the grandfather of Krishna). Indian Heracles

(Krishna) is recorded by the Greeks as having lived 138

generations before the time of Alexander and Sandracottos which

may be taken as to be c. 330 BC.

Continued…. 46

47

Taking 20 years per generation, which is

known to be a good average when ancient

Indian dynasties are involved, it can be

computed like 2760 + 330 = 3090 BC which

is remarkably close to the Kali date of 3102

BC. So a reckoning, based on ancient Greek

records takes us approximately to the

traditional date of c. 3100 BC.

Geetha advocated by Lord Krishna to Arjuna

The Ancient texts of the Indian sub-continent especially the

Mahabharata is full of descriptions of various concepts and events,

which are very difficult to conceive with our limited knowledge.

Krishna who is described as the supreme lord is looked as an

omniscient personality who preaches the code of conduct called

"Dharma“, the essence of the Universal existence which is primarily

necessary for the smooth functioning of everything that exists. As

such, Every entity of this Universe is inter-related and therefore should

be a part of Dharma.

Individual entities are not pre-programmed but are entitled to perform

actions which should be in accordance to the Universal System. When

a part or parts of the system gets deviated to a larger extent, the

designer of the system or the system itself takes required remedies.

BHAGAVAD GITA

Continued….54

In Mahabharata, the designer of the system, called as Krishna,

provides information called as "Bhagavad Gita" which is the

manual of the Universal system in a human perspective. Here

Krishna provides special perceivable capability to Arjuna (Gnana

dhrushti) to visualize his eternal and endless cosmic form called as

Vishwaroopa. He says in Chapter 11, verse 8 that you (Arjuna)

cannot view me with your ordinary vision, I will give you

visionary abilities to perceive me beyond humanly possible

dimensions.

In Chapter 11, verse 16, Arjuna says he is not able to see the

boundaries of this cosmic form, nor the middle nor the starting.

In chapter 11, verse 29 of the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna stunned by

the "Vishwaroopa" of Krishna states the following.

"yatha pradiptam jvalanam padhanga visanti naasaya

samrddha-vegah tathaiva naasaya visantilok as tavapi

vak trani samrddha-vegah"55

DHARMA, The universal code of conduct Thousands and thousands of verses of Mahabharatha is

encircled towards one word and that is "Dharma". Dharma is not just

confined to good deeds. Dharma can be equated to universal oneness

or universal peace, which leads infinite creatures to move towards

oneness or unity. In short , it is:Creatures sprung up in different planets in different galaxies

as a part of the Universal system. They evolve by nature and humans

in specific have the potential to inculcate knowledge by moving

towards higher consciousness by means of meditative techniques.

These techniques of communicating with the universal knowledge

and conducting an internal re-engineering were initially provided by

the Aliens who are far more advanced in science than us. Apart from

the war description and the history of various kings, Mahabharata

provides us the collection of knowledge provided by the Aliens to our

perceivable potential.

similar power by Krishna.57

2.ALIENS IN MAHABHARATHA

The concept of Aliens in to-dayscontext along with mythologicalevidences is presented in this section

58

THE EXISTENCE OF ALIENS

• Considering the vastness of the Universe both in time and distance,

humans think that they are far advanced in science and ignore the fact

that in the Universal evolution process we are almost incredibly in the

infant stages of intelligence compared to other extra-terrestrials of the

universe.

We are not only unaware of the Aliens but also about the fundamentals

of the Universe.

• We may be, therefore, very limited in knowledge to perceive the

science of our absolute existence. It may be prejudiced for us to believe

that our existence is not known to the Aliens elsewhere.

•A meticulous study of the ancients texts like Mahabharata reveals that

more advanced Aliens did exist. They, also knew how much we can

progress in science in a given point of time (say light years).

Our knowledge towards the Extra-terrestrials is nothing,

whereas the Aliens knew about us in full reality.59

In Mahabharata , it is surprising to note the involvement of hi-tech weapons.

How can people riding in horses and elephants and other primitive warfare

used advanced weapons ? On the one hand, Mahabharata talks about

primitive methods like bow and arrows, chariots, elephants, forts etc. On the

other hand it mentions high tech weapons, vimanas, warriors who could

withstand incredible weapons etc. If we go indepth and find out the roots of

various events in Mahabharatha, signs of powerful Alien presence are

visible. These Aliens may be millions of light years ahead of us in

technology. To understand their technology our 21st century human brain

may be incapable. Scientist say that the human brain is evolving in

accordance with time. In other words, human brain inculcates the

knowledge of all our predecessors which are stored in its DNA. So to

perceive things that are millions of light years ahead is almost impossible

through materialistic means.

Whereas through spiritual means, Rishis and great saints through yogic trans

travel in time without limits attained knowledge and enlightened us.

The Devas and the Asuras are Aliens who belong to outer worlds and were

always in dispute with each other in their respective planets.

Continued…. 60

The British theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking

said that Alien life exists on planets but perhaps even in

other parts of the Universe, like within stars or even

floating in outer space. He has also warned that a few of

these species might be intelligent and threaten Earth. He

has advocated that, rather than try to establish contact,

humans should try to avoid contact with alien life forms

since Aliens knew the entire methodology of the earth,

long ago and quite aware what will be the potential of

human brain to perceive in a given period of say "light

years".

Continued….

Recent contributions in support of Aliens existence

61

62

Recent history advocates that success in war depends on the

type of weapons and not the quantity of the Army involved.

For example Israel is a small country, but with its advanced

missiles and hi -tech fighter jets, it prevails over its

neighboring countries with a much more larger quantity of

Army divisions. Same scenario applies to Mahabharata

where, Pandavas very much lesser in numbers succeeding

the Kauravas because of the might of their weapons

technology. Most of the weapons mentioned were high-tech

and with no traces of them manufactured in this planet, the

only possibility of obtaining it is from the Aliens.

Therefore, Advanced Weapons, launchers and armoredvehicles were received from Aliens and were used alongwith mundane bows, arrows and chariots in Mahabharata.

By the year 1979, Mr. David W. Davenport (an India born English man) published

a book named “Tomlinson devastation 2000BC” in Italy, in which he raised an

alien theory about the ruins of Mohenjo Daro. This theory was the backdrop of

excavations of Mohenjo Daro when archeologists found a large number of

skeletons, which displayed a shocking death scenario of the past where almost

entire city population was died on the streets. Davenport thought that the Aryans-

controlled regions where space aliens were mining minerals and exploiting other

natural resources. Because it was a Mongol city, the aliens had agreed to destroy

Mohenjo Daro on behalf of the Aryans. The aliens needed the friendship of the

Aryan kings so that they could continue their prospecting and research. Though

the Aryan Invasion Theory was later proved as scrap by scientific research and

archeological discoveries, the Alien presence advocated by Davenport makes

sense. Because such a devastation could not happen unless and otherwise an

advanced technological weapon was used. The only possibility being the

involvement of scientifically advanced Aliens.

From the above, it is obvious that the Aliens not only provided weapons but also

participated in the war. Their biological structure was also very strong enough to

withstand powerful weapons, while ordinary humans died in millions.

ARYANS IN SUPPORT OF THE ALIENS OF MAHABHARATA

Based on many ancient manuscripts, It is stated that the end ofMohenjo Daro was tied to a state of war between the aryans andthe mongols. 64

The ancient Mayans (present Mexico) were supposed to be in

contact with the Aliens. "Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado", the

minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche has said

new evidence has emerged “of contact between the Mayans and

extra-terrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices,

which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for

some time.” He also referenced “landing pads in the jungle that are

3,000 years old". I am mentioning all these because the Mayan

calender starts by August 11, 3114 BC, interestingly just on the

same year of the birth of Yudhishtra [the first among the

pandava] and two years before the birth of Krishna. Does this

signify something special or just a coincidence is to be researched

further. Meanwhile the Mayan calender ends on 21 December

2012. [Astronomical facts published by T.T.D. Will it pave the way

for the Aliens to return ?

Only time could say.

3. Medical Science in Mahabharata

67

This section deals with antient medical practices and also explains how these technoques, in due course of time over centuries got evolved to the present day technology.

Ancient Medical ScienceIn the days of Mahabharata and later, Medical science had

been very well practiced as a profession. An analysis of the

materials in the Vedas reveals that all the four Vedas

provide the references regarding various aspects of

medicine. The Atharva Veda is deemed to be an

encyclopaedia for medicine. The present day

Archaeological evidences of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa

imparts the high civilization in matters of sanitation and

hygiene and have proved that there were well planned

settlements of Harappa itself and special areas deduced to

be hospital which establish that there was an organized

system of medical practice carried on from the earliest

times.Continued….

The"great bath“-an example of civil Engineering

The "great bath" is without doubtthe earliest public water tank in theancient world. The tank itselfmeasures approximately 12 metersnorth-south and 7 meters wide,with a maximum depth of 2.4meters. Two wide staircases leaddown into the tank from the northand south and small sockets at theedges of the stairs are thought tohave held wooden planks ortreads. At the foot of the stairs is asmall ledge with a brick edgingthat extends the entire width ofthe pool. People coming down thestairs could move along this ledgewithout actually stepping into thepool itself.

69

The "charaka samhita“, an early Ayurvedic text on

internal medicine provides volumes of information on herbs

and nursing. The "Sushrutha Samhitha" (after Mahbharata

1000 BC to 600 BC) shows the greatness of "Sushruta"

known by the title "Father of Surgery." and describes 300

surgical procedures, 120 surgical instruments and classifies

human surgery in eight categories.

Apart from indigenous medical science, the involvement of

Aliens with very advanced medical science is evident in

Mahabharata. Rishis like Vyasa, Bharadhwaja are all

advanced Aliens ahead of us in scientific knowledge in

terms light years. The descriptions of very advanced

cloning, artificial fertilization etc are all clear footprints of

the Aliens.70

In the Mahabharata there were various

events describing the role of surgeons and

physicians. Unlike the modern medical

system based on empirical (experimental)

system, ancient medical science was

sourced through the exploration of the

pure consciousness.

This was scientifically proven by

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who had taught

his "Transcendental meditation" to almost

5 million people during the past 50 years

especially in US and Canada.

He advocates that “ThroughTranscendental Meditation, the humanbrain can experience that level ofintelligence which is an ocean of allknowledge, energy, intelligence, andbliss.”

SURGERY- IN ANTIENT DAYS

In the Mahabharata, surgeons and surgery played a very

important role in war and life. There are various instances

in which the role of surgeons were mentioned. As quoted

belowBHISHMA PARVA

Sanjaya continued,"Then there came some surgeons well

trained and skilled in plucking out arrows, with all

appliances. Beholding them, Bhishma, the son of Ganga

said unto thy son,--'Let these physicians, after proper

respect being paid to them, be dismissed with presents of

wealth. I have won the most laudable and the highest

state ordained in Kshatriya observances! Ye kings, lying

as do on a bed of arrows, it is not proper for me to submit

now to the treatment of physicians. Continued…. 73

UDYOGA PARVA SECTION CLII:

And Kunti's son, king Yudhishthira, amongst them marched, taking with

him the cars and other vehicles for transport, the food-stores and fodder,

the tents, carriages, and draught -cattle, the cash-chests, the machines and

weapons, the surgeons and physicians, the invalids, and all the emaciated

and weak soldiers, and all the attendants and camp-followers.

UDYOGA PARVA SECTION CLIII:

And there were assembled hundreds upon hundreds of skilled mechanics,

in receipt of regular wages and surgeons and physicians, well-versed in

their own science, and furnished with every ingredient they might need.

SHANTI PARVA SECTION XCV:

A wounded opponent should either be sent to his own home, or, if

brought to the victor's quarters, should have his wounds attended to by

skilful surgeons. When in consequence of a quarrel between righteous

kings, a righteous warrior falls into distress, (his wounds should be

attended to and) when cured he should be set at liberty.74

ANCIANT PLASTIC SURGERY BY SUSHRUTA

The Samahita lays down the

basic principles of plastic

surgery by advocating a proper

physiotherapy before the

operation and describes various

methods or different types of

defects, viz. He has mentioned

various methods including

sliding graft, rotation graft

andpedicle graft. Reconstruction

of a nose (rhinoplasty) which has

been cut off, using a flap of skin

from the cheek, has been

described.[ Labioplasty too has

received attention in the

Modern Medical labs and Surgical Instruments

The treatment of injuries or disorders of the body by incision ormanipulation, especially with instruments is the most successful oneat present. Surgical technology leading to developing newapproaches to improve clinical outcomes are well received. Surgicaleducation, delivering training for clinicians and academics to driveimprovements in surgical practice is more appreciated.Robotic assisted Surgery, one of the most promising advances insurgical technology is the introduction of robotic assisted MIS,which allows procedures to take place that would otherwise beprohibited by the confines of the operating environment.

ADVANCED PLASTIC SURGERY

Plastic surgery is a medicalprocedure with the purposeof alteration or restoring theform of the body. Thoughcosmetic or aestheticsurgery is the most wellknown kind of plasticsurgery, plastic surgery itselfis not necessarily consideredcosmetic; and includes manytypes of Reconstructivesurgery, craniofacialsurgery,hand surgery& microsurgery,

Modern science clearly states the limitation of our human

eye with limited size and light-gathering power.

Opthamologist say that the human eye has limited

frequency response and it can only see electromagnetic

radiation in the visible wavelengths. So what we see is not

what exists but what we will be capable to see. That's why

lord Krishna gave special visionary powers (divine eyes)

to Arjuna to have a glimpse of his "Vishwaroopa"

(exposing his cosmic body). 83

Divine eyes

Modern science enablesrefractive laser eye surgery,performed by ophthalmologistsfor correcting myopia, hyperopiaetc. Laser energy was introducedin refractive surgeries discoveredby Rangaswamy Srinivasan.Srinivasan working at IBMResearch Lab discovered that anultraviolet Excimer laser couldetch living tissue in a precisemanner with no thermal damageto the surrounding area.

Cloning, Embryo Development and Artificial Fertilization

All those advanced medical descriptions illustrated in the

Mahabharata a hundred years back looked as “divine“. Now in this

21st century, they can be perceive with skepticism due to the

development in science. Therefore, more and more we advance in

science, we could perceive the advanced scientific concepts of

Mahabharata better.

The science of cloning was well known and practised during

the Mahabharatha times. Mr. B.G. Matapurkar a surgeon at the

Maulana Azad Medical college in New Delhi told at a conference on

‘Stem cell Research’, organised by the southern chapter of the All India

Biotech Association that the “Kauravas were products of technology

that modern science has not even developed yet". Mr Matapurkar, who

holds a US patent on organ regeneration technique that he developed

10 years ago, said that he was thrilled when he stumbled on a verse in

Mahabharatha under the chapter Adiparva that actually describes how

the Kauravas were created bysplitting a single embryo from Gandhari.

Continued….87

into 100 parts and growing each part in a separate container. In other

words, Matapurkar said, "they not only knew about test- tube babies

and embryo splitting but also had the technology to grow human

foetuses outside the body of woman, something that is not known to

modern days. Apart from these, there was also a mention of an

embryo, conceived in one womb, being transferred to the womb of

another woman from where it was born. The transferred embryo is

‘Balarama’ and this is how he is a brother to ‘Krishna’ although he

was born to Rohini and not to Devaki.

In the case of Kunti conceiving by chanting manthras

through yogic trans, there is fertilization but without physical

Intercourse. May be the manthra acting like a password invokes the

object of Meditation (Indra, Vayu Etc) to transmit its chromosomes

to the meditator (using her biological address), a very advanced form

of ‘Artificial Fertilization’.

88

Cloning, Embryo development and Artificial Fertilization

The Kauravas created by splitting the

single embryo into 100 parts and

growing each part in a separate

container.

In In vitro fertilization, mature

eggs are collected (retrieved) from

the ovaries and fertilized by sperm

in a lab.

89

This concept of Test tube babies is not arecent one, but already cited inMahabharata. It is said that theGandhari who was promised 100children by a Sage, could not go intolabour for over 2 years after conceiving.In frustration she beat her womb till itdelivered a massive ball of mass.Distraught, she sought help of SageVyasya, who cut the ball of flesh into100 parts and fermented them in jars.Thus were born the Kauravas. Thismethod can be compared to IVF wherethe sperm and ovum are fertilized in anexternal container to conceive a baby,although in Mahabharata, the babiesremain in it as opposed to being movedto a womb.

TEST TUBE BABIES

It is said that when Luv

was born to Sita in the

forest, she misplaced him

in the forest. Sage Valmiki

then cloned Kush out of

a grass blade to pacify her

anguish.When Luv

returned, she raised them

both as twins.

Sita’s father Janaka was

also cloned from King

Nimi’s dead body.

THE IDENTICAL TWINS

91

In Mahabharatha, when Subhadra was pregnant, Arjun told her the

secret of entering the chakravyuh. When he was explaining the exit

procedure, Subhadra fell asleep. Hence Abhimanyu learned the

entrance procedure while he was in Subhadra's womb and he never

had the chance to learn the exit strategy.

There was a time when people criticized this concept of a child

learning from the womb of a mother. But further scientific

developments have made things very clear and modern science says

that it is very much possible. In his book "Right Brain Education in

Infancy" by Dr. Makoto Shichida, world-renowned founder of over

350 Child Academies in Japan says, the right side brain is active

during gestation. Furthermore, the imaging right brain is the center for

Extra Sensory Perception (ESP). He further adds that cells are

sensitive and can transmit subtle energy patterns to the brain, a child

has extra sensory perception in the womb. The unborn baby uses the

cells of his developing body to gain information from the world

around him, and transmitts to his right brain hemisphere.

Dr. Shichida found that young children can be easily

trained in ESP ( Extra S ensory Perception) and that

babies in the womb have ESP. He believes this is because

the fetal right brain hemisphere is active while the left

brain hemisphere is dormant.

Source [ Right brain Education ]

Unless there is interference, the right brain hemisphere is

capable of putting extra sensory impressions on the

screen of the mind, which is how it got the name image

brain.

Young children are highly receptive when it comes to

extra sensory impressions because the left brain is not

dominant in children up until the age of six or seven.

TRANSPLANTATION TEHNOLOGY Organ transplantation is the moving of an organ from one body to

another or from a donor site to another location on the person's own

body or to replace the recipient's damaged or absent organ.

Organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within the same person's

body are called autografts. Transplants that are recently performed

between two subjects of the same species are called allografts.

Allografts can either be from a living or cadaveric source.

Organs that can be transplanted are the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs,

pancreas, intestine and thymus.

Tissues include bones, tendons (both referred to as musculoskeletal

grafts), cornea, skin, heart valves, nerves and veins. Worldwide, the

kidneys and musculoskeletal grafts are the most commonly

transplanted organs, followed by the liver and then the heart. Cornea

are the most commonly transplanted tissues; these outnumber organ

transplants by more than tenfold.

All the above cited present technologies, have been already

referred in our mythology.

that he is Parvati’s son, he

managed to revive him by

placing an elephant’s head

on his trunk thus rectifying

his mistake. It can be

dismissed as folklore or a

story from Indian

mythology but it brings to

Dr. Michael Sarr, professor emeritus of surgery at the Mayo

Clinic and also an expert in organ trasplantation technology

says that this risky procedure, estimated to last about 36 hours,

Spiridonov’s head will be cooled to around 12 degrees Celsius,

cut off from his body and connected to the donated body of a

brain-dead person to re-establish spinal nerves function.

This concept, “The continuous change of particles in the

body” was well known to the sages long before. In the

modern world, it was shown by William Harvey (1578 -

1657) who discovered the circulation of the blood.

Mahabharata provides clear thought about the

above."The constituent elements of the body, which

serve diverse functions in the general economy, undergo

change every moment in every creature. Those changes,

however, are so minute that they cannot be noticed. The

birth of particles, and their death, in each successive

condition, cannot be marked.?“ This is yet to be clarified

The existence of Bacteria and Viruses

The existence of bacteria and viruses are explained in the following

text from the Mahabharata Santi Parva Section XV which advocates

the Darwin's theory "Survival of the fittes”.

Arjun said: "I do not behold the creature in this world that supports

life without doing any act of injury to others.

Animals live upon animals, the stronger upon the weaker. The

mongooose devours mice; the cat devours the mongoose; the dog

devours the cat; the dog is again devoured by the spotted leopard.

Behold all things again are devoured by the Destroyer when he

comes.

This mobile and immobile universe is food for living creatures. This

has been ordained by the gods.

The very ascetics cannot support their lives without killing creatures.

In water, on earth, and fruits, there are innumerable creatures that are

so minute that their existence can only be inferred. With the

falling of the eyelids alone, they are destroyed"101

BACTERIA AND VIRUSES

102

AvatarA Sanskrit word, means incarnation or descent of divine beings sent

to earth to restore goodness and peace. First recognition of word

Avatar in western world is as a pictorial symbol in computers where

your uploaded image is termed as your avatar. Avatar word was used

in Yahoo messenger to change your image (Change Avatar).

Meaning of Avatar in HinduismHinduism-the oldest religion on earth, with more than a billion adherents, is the

third largest religion in the world, with majority of the population still living within

the Indian subcontinent. In Hinduism, Avatar is dominantly associated with Lord

Vishnu (the Preserver in Hindu trinity) though there are avatar of other deities like

Shiva, Shakti etc.

This means avatar is not the actual god but a part of supreme god. Common

perception is that only lord Vishnu is born in avatar forms like Rama, Krishna,

Buddha, Parshurama, matsya etc. However, scriptures suggest that according to the

need of the society, any deity can take an avatar (like Lord shiva took avatar of

Hanuman). An Avatar is born in a home of a pure, karmic but ordinary father and

mother. Avatar arrives in a human body which is mortal like others but the avatar

himself is aware of his divinity and his mission on earth. Avatars may do his task

miraculously or may use others to accomplish his tasks. 103

DASAVATARAS AND EVOLUTION

104

One of the means through which the

system corrects the deviations are by

taking Avatars. By taking an Avatar, the

Omniscient system transfers required

energy into an instrument (say a

biological entity) based on the magnitude

of the deviation and corrects the

deviation.

It is interesting to note that some

researchers even correlate the Avatars of

Vishnu in accordance with the evolution

theory. British geneticist and evolutionary

biologist, JBS Haldane observed that the

ten principal avatars of Lord Vishnu are a

true sequential depiction of the great

unfolding of evolution. The avatars of

Vishnu show an extra ordinary similarity

to the biological theory of evolution of

life on earth.

VISWARUPAM OF LORD VISHNU

105

Indians knew some amazing things, but just did not know

how to pass it on scientifically, so made them in to

Mythologcal stories which make sense. It is explained as

follows.

The first avatar was the Matsya avatar, it means the fish.

That is because life began in the water.

The second, Kurma Avatar, which means the tortoise,

because life moved from the water to the land.

Third was the Varaha, the wild boar, which meant the wild

animals with not much intellect.

The fourth avatar was the Narasimha avatar, half man and

half animal, the evolution from wild animals to intelligent

beings.

Fifth the Waman avatar, the midget or dwarf, who could

grow really tall.

Dasavathars – Darvin’ theory

Continued 106

The Sixth avatar was Parshuram, the man who wielded

the axe, the man who was a cave and forest dweller.

The seventh avatar was Ram, the first thinking social

being, who laid out the laws of society and the basis of

all relationships.

The eight avatar was Krishna, the statesman, the

politician, the lover who played the game of society and

taught how to live and thrive in the social structure.

The Ninth avatar, the Buddha, the man who rose from

Narasimha and found man's true nature. The nature of

Buddha, he identified man's final quest of

enlightenment.

And finally Kalki avatar, the man you are working on.

The man who will be genetically supreme.”

It is just the way you look at it religious or scientific107

108

“Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny”, proposed by Ernst Haeckel in

1860

109

Dasavatara narrated in mythology is well

supported by “The theory “Ontogeny

Recapitulates Phylogeny”, proposed by

Ernst Haeckel in 1860 in favour of the

Darwin’s theory of Evolution. It explains Ontogeny is the development of the individual

Phylogeny is the evolution of the species

So this is the idea that during development an

organism (or an organ ) goes through the same

stages as during their evolution.

For example, human faetal development

retraces the evolution of vertebrates from fish ,

reptiles, birds and finally mammals

• From tadpole stage to Water breath with tail

and no limbs (like a fish)

Rudimentary limbs

Reduction of tail

Development of lungs -breathes air

Fully developed limbs, loss of tail

To the fully developedHuman child.

This idea is considered

as a “Parable” not

necessarily true but it is

a useful idea

COMPARISON WITH MOVIE AVATAR

If we compare this Hinduism concept of avatar with movie ‘Avatar’, then

one can easily correlate this movie with Ramayana. In Movie Avatar,

Humans take form of avatars to exist on a planet called pandora.

However, there are some of the materialistic humans who use their

technology to ruin the resources of Pandora and exploit Mother Nature

like they did on Planet earth. This human didn’t care about indigenous

Nav'i and called them Humanoids, Blue monkeys, roaches or savages.

Hence, the Avatar ‘Jake sully’, is chosen by Eywa, their goddess to

protect Pandora from such evil humans. Hence, in this movie also, Avatar

is born when there is rise of Adharma (Greed, Ego, Jealousy) and the

task of this avatar is to send back evil lower dimensional beings

(humans) who want to invade Pandora and loot of all resources.

The concept is found in hinduism where the avatar is born to save the

earth from lower dimentional beings (Demons). Our puranas contain

thousands of such stories where the demons viz. Ravana and kamsa were

killed by Lord Rama and Lord Krishna Respectively.

5. Weaponory in Mahabharata

This section highlights that the Weaponory

used by our antient people are equally

powerful to the most modern weapons

used now-a days

112

WEAPONS OF MAHABHARATHA

In Mahabharata, incredible weapons, that were very powerful in

magnitude were frequently used in the war the descriptions of which clearly

indicate an advanced science that possibly existed. How could this be possible ?

If we take up the hypothesis that these descriptions were not mere imaginations,

then how come such complex technology of manufacturing advanced weapons

were known by those ancient people ?

The weapons used in Mahabharata were a combination of ancient

earthly weapons and the highly powerful and advanced futuristic weapons

provided by the Aliens. Especially the various types of "Asthras" (missiles) and

various types of "Dhanush" (launchers) of Mahabaratha are all provided by the

Aliens. The description of these weapons clearly makes us to believe that their

production requires large scale industrial infrastructure involving complex

technology and development.To manufacture such advanced weapons, thousand

of years of research and development should have taken place. Therefore, it is

conclusive that these weapons were received from the Aliens and not

manufactured in this planet. Mahabharata also provides detailed descriptions of

these weapons received from Aliens. From a scientific view, descriptions of

gods and demigods described in Mahabharatha are Aliens far more advanced in

science (in light years) than us. Continued….113

WEAPONRY

Apart from the traditional human weapons like swords, daggers, spears, clubs, shields,

bows, arrows and maces, there are weapons gifted to semi-divine beings, human beings

or the rakshasas by the gods as a result of penance.

There are several weapons which were used by the gods of Hinduism, some of which

are Agneyastra, Brahmastra, Chakram, Garudastra,

Kaumodaki, Narayanastra, Pashupatastra, Shiva Dhanush, Sudarshana

Chakra, Trishul, Vaishnavastra, Varunastra, and Vayavastra.

Some of these weapons are explicitly classified viz, the Shiva Dhanush is a bow, the

Sudharshan Chakra is a discus and the Trishul is a trident, but many other weapons

appear to be weapons specially blessed by the gods. For example, the Brahmastra,

Agneyastra, the one thrown at an opponent while Shastra are weapons used with hand

and are not thrown. The other astras are single use weapons requiring an intricate

knowledge of use.

The weapons of Mahabharatha obtained by the most powerful characters are from a

very few sources. Such as "Parasurama" from whom Drona passes it to the Pandavas,

Kauravas, Aswattama and others. Karna also learns the science of weapons from

Parasurama, son of Jamadagni who sourced knowledge from super power lord "Shiva".

The incredible "Bhishma" acquires knowledge from sage "Vashishta" on various

subjects. Arjuna too becomes more powerful than his peers because of his obtaining

weapons from Lord shiva and the Devas. [Pasupathastra from shiva and weapons from

Indra, Vayu, Kuvera, Yama etc].114

WEAPONS USED BY HINDU GODS

WEAPONS USED IN ANCIENT DAYS AND MODERN DAYS

ANCIENT DAYS MODERN DAYS

116

WEAPONS OF MAHABHARATA

A weapon, arm, or armament is any device used with intent to inflict

damage or harm to living beings, structures, or systems. Weapons

are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such

as hunting, crime, law enforcement, self-defense, and warfare.

While just about any ordinary objects such as sticks, stones, cars, or

pencils can be used as weapons, many are expressly designed for the

purpose–ranging from simple implements such

as clubs, swords and guns, and to complicated modern

intercontinental ballistic missiles, biological and cyberweapons.

117

NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN MAHABHARATHA

• In the Mahabharata, during kuruskethra the total death toll amounts

to around 1.6 billion in a matter of 18 days. How could this be

possible unless and otherwise there is an involvement of weapons

of mass destruction.

• Modern archeological surveys have slowly started to provide us

valuable clues of the war. The vast amount of devastation found at

the site of Mohenjo Daro corresponds exactly to Nagasaki, as

declared by Davenport, who published his startling findings in an

amazing book, "Atomic Destruction in 2000 B.C.", Milan, Italy,

1979.

• There was an epicenter about 50 yards wide where everything was

crystallized, fused or melted, he said. Sixty yards from the center,

the bricks are melted on one side indicating a blast 4,000 years

ago. All the skeletons were flattened to the ground. " Continued….118

119

For example, a father, mother and child were found

flattened in the street, face down and still holding hands.

Interestingly, the ancient texts refer repeatedly to the

Vimanas, or the flying cars, which fly under their own

power. Nationally known expert William Sturm said, "the

melting of bricks at Mohenjo Daro could not have been

caused by a normal fire". Professor Antonio Castellani, a

space engineer in Rome commented "it's possible that

what happened at Mohenjo Daro was not a natural

phenomenon

NUCLEAR BOMB IN MAHABHARATHAThere is strong evidence that the weapon

used in the Musala Parva of the

Mahabharatha is very similar to the

modern day nuclear bomb. The description

itself is terrifying. "Flying a swift and

powerful vimana (fast aircraft) hurled a

single projectile Charged with all the

power of the Universe. An incandescent

column of smoke and flame as bright as

ten thousand Suns rose in all its splendor.

It was an unknown weapon, an iron

thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death,

which reduced to ashes. The Entire race of

Vrishnis and Andhakas, corpses were so

burned beyond recognition.Their hair and

nails fell out, pottery broke without

apparent cause and birds turned white.

After a few hours, all foodstuffs were

infected. To escape from this fire, the

soldiers threw themselves in streams to

wash themselves & their equipment“ 120

NUCLEAR BOMBS OF MAHABHARATA

PRESENT DAY NUCLEAR BOMB

A nuclear weapon is an explosivedevice that derives its destructiveforce from nuclear reactions,either fission (fission bomb) or acombination of fission and fusionBoth reactions release vastquantities of energy from relativelysmall amounts of matter.The first fission ("atomic")bomb test released the sameamount of energy as approximately20,000 tons of TNT (Trinity NuclearTest)). The first thermonuclear("hydrogen") bomb test released thesame amount of energy asapproximately 10,000,000 tons ofTNT.

WARS BETWEEN THE GODS AND THE ASURAS

(DEVASURA YUDDHA)

As witnessed in the present century, there were twelve ferocious

battles,viz.Varaha, Narasimha, Tarakamaya, Andhaka-

vadha,Traipura, Amrtamathana, Vamana, Dhvajapata, Adibaka,

Kolahala, Vritra-vadha and Halahala fought between the Gods and

the Asuras over the control of the three worlds. For example,

Hiranyaksha was killed in fighting in the cosmic ocean

by Varaha with its tusks in the first.

Hiranyakashipu, the daitya was killed by Narasimha in the second.

In the third battle, Taraka, the son of Vajranga was slain by Skanda.

Andhaka, the foster son of Hiranyaksha was killed by Vishnu in the

fourth.

In the fifth, as the Gods could not kill the danavas led by the three

sons of Taraka, Shiva killed them. 123

6. Asthras and Manthras in

Mahabharata

The good-old method of using different types

of asthras for specific events and thieir strengh

is emphasised in this section

125

Asthras are used both for offensive and defensive purposes. In cases of defensive

purpose, it may be similar to a "Tesla shield" which invokes an incredible shield

that could destroy hundreds of incoming asthras making them impossible to

penetrate. The modern "Tesla shield" conceptualized discharges electrical energy

and any incoming physical object which hits the shell receives an enormous

discharge of that energy and instantly vaporized.

ASTHRAS OF MAHABHARATHA

126

BRAHMASTHIRA - THE ULTIMATE WEAPON This powerful form of weapon is used by great warriors at many stages of

war. This weapon is invoked by mantras where an object like bows or even a

blade of grass can be transformed into a mighty Brahmasthira.

Brahmasthra is of different varieties, an advanced version being

Brahmasthira. The energy of the Brahmasthira is based on the capacity of

the launcher and the type of mantra he utters. For

instance,Brahmasthira,used by karna, but baffled by Arjuna belong to less

powerful category. The mighty Pasuputa asthra given by Shiva to Arjuna

also belongs to a variety of Brahamasthira.

KARNA PARVA 91, Karna, invoking the brahmastra, "showered his shafts

upon Dhananjaya, and once more made an effort to extricate his car.

Partha also, by the aid of the brahmastra, down poures arrows upon

Karna".

While the one used by Ashwathama and baffled by Arjuna belongs to a

highly powerful variety where the total atmosphere trembles and Ved Vyas

and sage Narada appear immediately for mediation. 127

128

Containing a Brahmasthira

During the war of Mahabharata, weapons powerful enough to modern day

nuclear bomb were, not only used but also there was technology to rapidly

neutralise the power of nuclear spread.

The following is description on the encounter between Ashwathama and

Arjuna.

Ashwathama's uses Brahmasthira by inspiring a blade of grass with proper

mantras and converts it into that powerful celestial weapon, blazed up with

fierce flames like the all-destroying fire that appears at the end of the yuga

(world). It emmitted terrible flames within a huge sphere of fire. Numerous

peals of thunder were heard; thousands of meteors fell; and all living

creatures became inspired with great dread. The whole world seemed to be

filled with noise and assumed a terrible aspect with those flames of fire. The

whole earth with her mountains and waters and trees, trembled. However,

finally, Arjuna immediately uses a weapon to neutralise it.

129

ASTHRAS USED IN MAHABHARATHA

130

The Aliens provided the Asthras and the Manthras or passwords to Invoke it. Before

launching the Athras, the invoker chants a Mantra with utmost concentration. This may

be some sort of telepathic communication to the provider of the weapon (Alien) or his

control unit. This, in turn results in a remote method invocation (as we use in software ).

Then the Asthra is navigated and controlled from distant planets or galaxies. Some

Asthras returns back to the person who launches it. Eg. Karna's Nagaasthara and

Krishna's Sudharsana chakra. This may be similar to the reusable missiles which the

Indian Space Research Organisation is working on.

The technology might have been much more advanced that even an inbuilt navigational

system was available within the missiles. There may also be an biological address (as

like an IP address in pc) for each living being which may be far advanced for us to

perceive..

What about practical control issues?

How can the Asthra be controlled from an extreme distance if the controller has no idea

where it's going and what it's doing?

It is possible, if we can use Global Positioning System (GPS) aided mapping for the

world.Moreover, the functions and working principles of an Asthra are not just similar to a modern day

missiles. It may be much more advanced and varied like high powered lasers and emitting most

dangerous rays like Gamma rays etc. which can damage the entire biosphere.

7. Air-crafts and Aeronautical

Engineering in Our Epics

A comparison between various models of

aircrafts cited in epics and present day

aircrafts was well depicted here

132

There are many queries as to:

Would Vimanas or Aircrafts have existed in ancient

days ?

How could it be ?

It involves complex technology and before five

thousand years was it possible ? Will it not be a

mere imagination of the author ?

These questions are very rational, but going into the

history of the Indian sub-continent and the ancient

science that prevailed, the hypothesis of "vimanas

existed" comes close to true.

Continued….133

According to the Dronaparva, Vimanas are described as shaped like a sphere and

can move along at great speed on a mighty wind generated by mercury. It says the

vimana moved like a UFO, going up, down, backwards and forwards as the pilot

desired.

Section XLIII of Vana Parva describes about Arjuna's arival at the city of Indra

'Amaravati'. Here not only vimanas are mentioned but even an area similar to

airport, where vimanas are properly stationed and these vimanas are landing and

taking off similar to the view we experience in busy airports.

"And having beheld those celestial gardens resounding with celestial music, the

strong-armed son of Pandu entered the favourite city of Indra. And he beheld there

celestial vimanas by thousands, capable of going everywhere at will, stationed in

proper places. And he saw tens of thousands of such cars moving in every direction"

Alsoin section CLXV of VANA PARVA mentions about aircrafts. "And

from all sides in vimanas resplendent as the sun, hosts of Gandharvas

and Apsaras began to follow that represser of foes, the lord of the

celestials.

134

Also when Arjuna being dropped by Shiva's space ship at section CLXIV

and "Matali" being the driver, that blazing vimana, suddenly illuminating

the sky, looked like smokeless flaming tongues of fire, or a mighty

meteor embosomed in clouds and seeing before them that vimana driving

in which the slayer of Namuchi had annihilated seven phalanxes of Diti's

offspring, the magnanimous Parthas went round it.

And being highly pleased, they offered excellent worship unto Matali.

Then, the son of the Kuru king duly enquired of him after the health of

all the gods. And Matali also greeted them. And having instructed the

Parthas, he ascended that incomparable vimana, and returned to the lord

of the celestials".

Again the horses being mentioned is only a substitution for engines or

similar advanced technologies. The mentioning of "smokeless flaming

tongues of fire" could be clearly perceived as an eco-friendly jet engine's

emision.

135

Use of

Aircrafts

The hypothesis of "vimanas existed"

comes close to true. Ancient Indians have

frequently witnessed alien spaceships or

Vimanas. Throughout the ancient Indian

texts, whether it is the Vedas or Ramayana

or Mahabharata vimanas have become an

integral part. Ancient Indian Intellectuals

had the visionary of developing aircrafts,

but lacked systems to produce and

assemble them. Moreover the origin of

conceptualizing theories like "Vaimanika

shasthra" would have been originated by

witnessing the alien spaceship, resulting in

a deep introspecting research for the

underlying science by Maharishi

Bharadhwaja.

An aircraft is a machine that is able

to fly by gaining support from the air. It

counters the force of gravity by using

either static lift or by using the dynamic

lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases

the downward thrust from jet engines.

The human activity that surrounds

aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft

are flown by an onboard pilot,

but unmanned aerial vehicles may

be remotely controlled or self-controlled

by onboard computers. Aircraft may be

classified by different criteria, such as lift

type, aircraft propulsion, usage and

others.

8. Materialistic Evidence in support

of Mahabharata

139

Material evidence supporting the time of Mahabharatha

Archeological research provides some convincing

evidences to unveil the material evidences of

Mahabharata. In Kurukshetra, the scene of the great

Mahabharata war, Iron arrows and spearheads have been

excavated and dated by thermoluminence to 2,800 B.C.E.,

the approximate date of the war given within the

Mahabharata itself.

The Mahabharata also describes three cities given to the

Pandavas, the heroes of the Mahabharata, after their exile:

Paniprastha, Sonaprastha & Indraprastha, which is Delhi's

Puranaqila. These sites have been identified and yielded

pottery & antiquities, which show a cultural consistency

& dating consistent for the Mahabharata period, again

verifying statements recorded in the Vedic literatures.Continued…. 140

141

Marine archaeology has also been utilized in India off the coast of

the ancient port city of Dvaraka in Gujarat, uncovering further

evidence in support of statements in the Vedic scriptures. An entire

submerged city at Dvaraka, the ancient port city of Lord Krishna

with its massive fort walls, piers, warfs and jetty has been found in

the ocean as described in the Mahabharata and other Vedic

literatures.

This sanskrit verse from the Mausala Parva 7 verse 40 of the

Mahabharata, describes the disappearance of the city of Dvaraka

into the sea. "After all the people had set out, the ocean flooded

Dvaraka, which still teemed with wealth of every kind. Whatever

portion of land was passed over, the ocean immediately flooded

over with its waters."

Apart from Dvaraka, more than thirty-five sites in North

India have yielded archaeological evidence and have been

identified as ancient cities described in the Mahabharatha.

Copper utensils, iron, seals, gold & silver ornaments,

terracotta discs and painted greyware pottery have all been

found in these sites. Scientific dating of these artifacts

corresponds to the non-aryan-invasion model of Indian

antiquity.

Sri Kota Venkatachalam the author of the book “Age of

Mahabharata War” gives us the details regarding the

inscriptional evidences available. He states that "There are

mainly four inscriptions extant available to us which prove

conclusively that the Mahabharata war occurred in B.C.

3138 or 36 years before Kali".Continued…. 142

143

Though there are many evidences, among them, the

following have attracted wide attention from the

researchers and the public :

• The massive Dvaraka city wall, A large door-socket and a

bastion from the fort wall.

• Two rock-cut slipways of varying width, extending from

the beach to the intertidal zone, a natural harbor,

• A number of olden stone ship anchors attesting “Dvaraka

being an ancient port city”.

• The three headed motif on this conch-shell seal, found in

the Dvaraka excavations, corroborates the reference in

the scripture Harivamsa that every citizen of Dvaraka

should carry a mudra or seal of this type.

The extensive underwater discoveries in support of

Mahabharata

MATERIAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTING

144

Dr. S. R. Rao, former Director of the

Archaeological Survey of India, and also

a pioneer in Marine archaeological

findings corroborate descriptions in the

Mahabharata of Dwaraka as a large,

well-fortified and prosperous port city,

which was built on land reclaimed from

the sea, and later taken back by the sea.

In his Book, "The discovery of the

legendary city of Dwaraka, founded by

Sri Krishna, clarified doubts expressed

by historians about the historicity of

Mahabharata and the very existence of

Dwaraka city. Further, it narrowed the

gap in Indian history by establishing the

continuity of the Indian civilization from

the Vedic Age to the present day’’.

“Mythology, simply does not just meanstories” : To substantiate this, scientist fromNASA provided a number of supportiveevidences in conjunction with theArcheological surveys as illustrated here

147

Gaythri Manthra:The most powerful Hyme in the World

148

It is interesting how accurate and meaningful our antient

scriptures are; For example:

Dr. Howard Steingeril, an American scientist collected

Manthras , Hymes and innovations from all over the world

and tested for their strengh in his physiology Lab. Hidus

Gayathri Manthra produced 110,000 sound waves / second

which was the highest and was found to be capable of

developingn specific spiritual potentialities. The Hamburg

university initiated research in the efhicacy of the Gayathri

Manthra both on the mental and physical plane of

CREATION. It is broadcosted daily for 15 minutes from 7

PM onwards over Radio paramaribo, Surinam, South

America for the past 2 years and in Amsterdam, Holland

for the last six months. contnued

149

“OM Bhoor Bhuwah Swah, Tat Savitur Varenyam,

Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah

Pra-chodayaat”

Meaning

• GOD is dear to me like my own breath

• He is the dispeller of my pains and giver of

happiness

• I meditate on the supremely adorable Light of the

Devine Creation that may inspire my thought and

understanding.

How rich and wonderful are our Vedas?
