Vimanas !!! Flying Machines of the Past

Vimanas !!! Flying Machines of the Past




We have have flying vehicles described over and over again in ancient Indian literature. Now, for the first time, See an ancient Indian document of aeronautical science, the Vymanika Shastra(VS) that gives us technical and schematical information on propulsion, energy, weapons, flight tactics, pilots food and clothes and metallurgy. This is the the most groud-breaking document ever and has been studied by many scholars, engineers and scientists from Europe and India from the early 20th century and onwards. Vaimanika Shastra is a book written by Maharshi Bharadwaja.

It is currently being studied on the highest level of the Indian government and scientifiic community, at the Aeronautical Development Agency(ADA) of the Indian Ministry of Defence. Indian scientists have been able to succesfully recreate the prescribed alloys according to the formulas in the VS.


Vymanika Shastra itself means 'treatise on aeronautics'. or "science of aeronautics"



Here are some Sanskrit terms which is useful for understanding Vymanika Shastra.

Adrishya: Invisibility
Antara: Difference
Bhaava: Being or becoming
Darpana: Mirror
Drishya: Vision
Jyotibhaava: Becoming glowing
Karan: Action/do
Kiran: Ray
Loha: Metal
Mani: Crystal
Naali: Channel
Paroksh: Contract
Roopa: Appearance
Roopaantra: Taking on a different appearance
Roopakarshana: Attracting an appearance
Sankorcha: Contract
Shakti: Power
Surya: Sun or of relating to sun
Vayu: Wind or air
Vimana: Flying craft or bird-like
Viroopa karana: To make Bad form or shape
Yantra: Machine/device

The flying vehicles, are called Vimanas, and used throughout vedic literature to denote flying vehicles of the gods and the ruling class.

They contain various yantras(machines/devices) with various functions in various parts of the vimanas. All of the major onboard yantras are comprised of darpanas(mirrors or lens), manis(crystals) and naalis(channels and outpius) The machines function on various sources of shakti(power)

The vimanas's aerodynamics as described in the shastra are similar to the aerodynamics of the common UFO.

Only a few years ago, the Chinese discovered some Sanskrit documents in Lhasa, Tibet and sent them to the University of Chandrigarh to be translated. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University said recently that the documents contain directions for building interstellar spaceships!

It is interesting to note, that the Nazis developed the first practical pulse-jet engines for their V-8 rocket "buzz bombs." Hitler and the Nazi staff were exceptionally interested in ancient India and Tibet and sent expeditions to both these places yearly, starting in the 30's, in order to gather esoteric evidence that they did so, and perhaps it was from these people that the Nazis gained some of their scientific information!

It is interesting to note that when Alexander the Great invaded India more than two thousand years ago, his historians chronicled that at one point they were attacked by "flying, fiery shields" that dove at his army and frightened the cavalry while crossing Jaxartes River. These "flying saucers" did not use any atomic bombs or beam weapons on Alexander's army however, perhaps out of benevolence, and Alexander went on to conquer India.



These are the pictures of Flying Vehicles found in Pyramid of Egypt. We all know that Indus valley Civilization traded with Egypt, Greece and Sumeria. Is it possible they are depicting some astonishing thing that they saw in India ????

Orville Wright demonstrated on December 17th 1903 that it was possible for a ‘manned heavier than air machine to fly’. But, in 1895, eight years earlier, the Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Bapuji Talpade had designed a basic aircraft called Marutsakthi (meaning Power of Air) based on Vedic technology and had it take off unmanned before a large audience in the Chowpathy beach of Bombay. The importance of the Wright brothers lies in the fact, that it was a manned flight for a distance of 120 feet and Orville Wright became the first man to fly. But Talpade’s unmanned aircraft flew to a height of 1500 feet before crashing down and the historian Evan Koshtka, has described Talpade as the ‘first creator of an aircraft’.

But this success of an Indian scientist was not liked by the Imperial rulers. Warned by the British Government the Maharaja of Baroda stopped helping Talpade. It is said that the remains of the Marutsakthi were sold to ‘foreign parties’ by the relatives of Talpade in order to salvage whatever they can out of their loans to him. Talpade’s wife died at this critical juncture and he was not in a mental frame to continue with his researches. But his efforts to make known the greatness of Vedic Shastras was recognised by Indian scholars, who gave him the title of Vidya Prakash Pra-deep.
