It is said that India is technically backward compared to

USA and other western countries, but we adopted many

advance methods at the time of Mahabharata itself.

Mahabharata took place around 4th and 5th century BC.

It is studied with much interest not only because of its

huge dynamic and political front but also because of its

rich scientific discussions.

It deals with political affair between Pandavas and

kauravas.

Introduction

In the days of Mahabharata and later medicine had been

very well practiced by profession

Unlike the modern medical system based on experimental

system, ancient medical science was sourced through the

exploration on pure consciousness.

It is said that with very advanced medical science is

evident in Mahabharata

Sages like Vyasa, Bhardwaj, etc., are ahead of us in

scientific knowledge in terms of light years

Surgery: Cataract Surgery was known to

Indian Physician Sushtra.

In those times cataract surgery was

done with the help of tool named

“Jabamukhi Salaka”

It is curved needle used to loosen

the lens and push the cataract out of

field vision.

Though this method was successful

sushtra suggested that this must be

done only in case of emergency.

by sushtra.

Right Brain Education:

In Mahabharata as we all know

about Abhimanyu who carefully

listens about the entrance of

padmavyuh in his mother’s womb.

Scientifically this kind of act is

known as “Right Brain Education”

It is proven by Japanese scientist Dr.

Makoto Shichida. It says child’s

brain may be active during growth.

Embryo Development:

There are 100 kauravas in Mahabharata, but these 100

members are born from only from one embryo

They were created by splitting one embryo in 100 parts

and growing each part in separate container.

Mr.B.G Matapurkar a surgeon said that “they not only

knew the test tube babies and embryo splitting but also

had the technology to grow human fetuses outside the

body of woman”.

Advanced Plastic Surgery: Karna the son of Surya(Sun God) is

born with a shield that protects him

It may be biotechnological shield

similar to exoskeleton found in

tortoise but incredibly strong

Unlike artificial exoskeleton used

by humans Karna’s shield was

mixed with his body.

Deadly weapons used in Kurukshetra

When we read Mahabharata we could

observe incredible weapons used

frequently in Kurukshetra War.

The description of these weapons

indicates an advanced science that

possibly existed.

The weapons used in Mahabharata

were a combination of ancient earthly

weapons especially various types of

Asthras(Missiles) and

Dhanush(launchers).Fig:4 During war

Some weapons return back to the person who launches it. For

example Karna’s Naagastra and Krishna’s Sudharsana- Chakra. This may be similar to reusable missiles on which experiments are going on presently.

Ashtras are used for both offensive and defensive. In case of defensive purposes these may be similar to “Tesla Shield” an incredible shield with could destroy many of incoming weapons

In kurukshetra war there are totally 1.6 billion people died in just a span of 18 days. It is possibly only if there is a involvement of weapons of mass destruction.

It is said that in war nuclear weapons are used and due to these many people died.

Deadly weapons used in Kurukshetra

Deadly Weapons used in Kurukshetra

To know about this archeologists conducted surveys in and around kurukshetra and results said that there is some radiation present.

A archeologist named Davenport wrote about this in his book “Atomic destruction in 2000 BC”

Sixty yards from the centre are melted from one side and all the skeletons are flattened to the ground in this war.

Fig:5 Radiation detector

As now we have many divisions in Army like general,

lieutenant, major, brigadier etc., similarly in Kurukshetrawar they also have similar like these divisions but different in names.

Some formations are used to trap or kill oppenent army and in 18 days nearly 17 military formations are used. These formations contains cavalry,archers,elephantry,infantry in required proportions.

In those 17 formations Padmavyuh(lotus formation) is the famous and the most typical formation.By using this kauravas trapped Abhimanyu and killed him.

Shakata vyuha (box or cart formation)

Asura vyuha (demon formation)

Deva vyuha (divine formation)

Soochi vyuha (needle formation)

Sringataka vyuha (horned formation)

Chandrakala vyuha (crescent or curved blade formation)

Mala vyuha (garland formation)

Military Formations

Mahabharata happened nearly around 2 century BC. It is

difficult to achieve these kinds of technology in those days

So it is believed that aliens had arrived earth on those

times and provided the necessary technology and

knowledge to both kauravas and pandavas.

But some say those aliens are nothing but Gods who gave

them things required.

But finally any how “Mahabharata is much more than a

mere story”.
