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.
56

When blind King Dritharashtra
desired to know the outcome of
the war, his charioteer, Sanjay
was bestowed with ‘divine
vision’ so that he could narrate it
to him real time. Books such as
Palace of Illusion suggest that
even Draupadi was gifted with a
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.

Arjuna's visualization of the stars and planets (lokas)
As moths with great speed enter into ablazing fire to perish: similarly all thesestars and planets (lokas) at great speed areentering into mouths to perish. This shouldbe Arjuna's visualization of the stars andplanets (lokas) coming very nearer to theblack holes (mouths) and thereforebecoming more faster to perish intoit.

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
samahita 78

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.

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.
Transplantation of Head in Indian Mythology
Organ Transplants?
When Hindu god Shiva
beheaded Ganesha unaware
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
light the highest level of
organ transplant, that of a
brain. 96

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.

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

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

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

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

“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?
