What do you think about Ancient Indian Aircraft Technology that has mention in epics like Ramayan / Mahabharat

Question

After many concrete proofs that are available in epics, Vedas and other Ancient Indian literature (you can actually search the net for this). I am starting to believe that this ancient aircraft technology actually existed and there are still many sanskrit documents containing not only the operations but also the method to build these kind of Terrestrial Aircrafts those can be used to for inter planet transaportation, and now that India is attempting to send Humans to Moon should we get back to our Past and use the wisdom of our Ancestors. (Useful sites hinduwisdom, wikipedia, etc)

Answer 1

As described in Epics the ancient technology is much advanced. In Ramayana they described Pushpak Viman that Fly with from Solar energy

Answer 2

All these stories are based upon the flight of human mind, which is much more powerful than anything on this earth. That is where all the concepts are realized and they can be put into action only by the courage, conviction and innovation. There are lot of fools that have demonstrated lot of visionary dreams but have never accomplished anything - they existed in the past and they exist toady.

Many of the Indian mythological stories talk about a water that is sprinkled from a saint's kamandal that change anything into stone and also another spray of the same or similar liquid would revive them back to life - where is such liquid - It cannot just vanish into thin air.

I believe that there are certain sciences that they excelled in, but to prove it we must be able to demonstrate it in today's understandable language - the way the europeans are demonstarting by rediscovering the pyramids or inca temples or the easter islands - again and again. People do not believe in hear-say anymore. But it can be a point to start a new research.

With all its natural resources, archaeological techniques, and manpower capabilities India has not demonstarted enough willpower to launch enough effort into this unnformidable area. They have not been able to decipher the language or text found on some of the tablets found in Mohinjo daro or Taxila etc - whether it is Brahmi or something else.

Answer 3

Imagine the present world with its all development as on date has recorded the technology position in any form, do not exist after few thousand years where in the data script in what ever form were available to the future world generations - what could be their imagination about us.

Why dont we think that all the equipments and technology were available in the extinct world but freekishly we have knowledge about the same. no wonder some one has to reinvent as there will be no connections to two different periods.

IN vedas, epics and puranas, there are mentionings about the nano technology (which is wodely being used by scientists today)

missiles to divert or weaken another one was referred in wars in epics , did we not witness the same in Iraq wars (Saddam used the patriots to avoid impact of scuds)

If we look at the astrological documents, are we not able to specify the timings of Solar and Lunar eclipses, they are based on vadic calculations.

there may be some more additions in the later periods which could not be sustained the tests due to their incomplete forms may be leading to disbelief since the Hindu dharma did not have everything in written form.

Answer 4

It is said that humans had the capability of flight long ago. One place, Atlantis,
was supposed to have a giant crystal that harnessed the power of the Earth's
magnetic field. And they, as well as others may have used this technology for flyng craft. There is in fact an ancient airport in the Nazca Plains of Peru.
The Vedas speak of what might have been a nuclear exchange way in the past.
The Gobi Desert has a spot where the sand has turned to glass. Which happens in
a nuclear explosion. And they have found rocks in the Americas that melted, which also only happens in a nuclear blast!

Answer 5

Mahabharat mentions aircraft, as well as multiple launch arrows that burn and blind. One could draw comparisions to lazers, or nukes.

Also, aircraft, or flying chariots are not peculiar to Indian mythology, but permiate many cultural beliefs (Greek, Celt, etc.). Perhaps what you are seeing is not proof of archane knowledge, but a common source of mythical beliefs. You will note that many religions share a common ground and that the further East you travel, the closer you get to the true source (Mediteranian). The common depiction of the Earth Mother, for example, appears with multiple breasts to emphasise her fertility.

However, if you can discern plans, or an idea of how these machines would work, it might be worth constructing a moch up. However, you might come under heavy flack unless you can prove your theory.

Answer 6

No united states of america may be the acceptable in each and every thing. for the reason that there are already countless components for astonishing airplane, why ought to India have its personal airplane marketplace? It makes extra sense to spotlight a field that has no sparkling chief, and then change into the chief. Chasing the major gamers in an marketplace wastes a great number of time. India desires to seek for prime-tech markets that are literally not ruled with assistance from any seven-hundred-pound gorillas, and then it may change into the seven-hundred-pound gorilla.

Answer 7

Yes, I have read references of popular things like "Pushpak Viman", adanced warfare techniques - Astras, army deployment techniques - "padmavyuha"... etc. But we also need to factor in the distortion that comes in due to the time period that has passed by - more so since most of these tales have been passed on by word-of-mouth. There are no other records of these stories. Again the distortion could have removed facts, or could have added misleading information. Hence it is very hard to judge.

Answer 8

We can only skim the surface of alot of the technology of old , Egyptians performing brain surgery , Planes running from a Magneto , We will never unlock all the mysteries of the past but we will have to learn where we have been to know where to go

Answer 9

WE ARE ALREADY GETTING BACK TO OUR PAST WITHOUT EVEN REALISING IT .THE MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY LIKE INTERNET ,VOICE ON INTERNET PROTOCOL IS SAME AS THE 'SHLOKAS' IN SANSKRIT THAT U HAVE MENTIONED.REMOTE CONTROLLED AIR PLANES, UNMANNED AIRCRAFTS ARE ANOTHER EXAMPLES OF THE OLDEN DAY TECHNOLOGIES IN OPERATION NOW .AFTER SOME MORE TIME YOU WILL NOT NEED TO HAVE REMOTE -CONTROLAPARATUS BUT ONLY VOICE- CONTRL- MECHANISIMS, WHICH WILL BE THE SAME AS RAMAYANA -DAY- AIRCRAFTS ,IN THE VEDIC PERIOD

Answer 10

Ravana was the example who used the vimana in the Ramayana.
