Recently I've been interested in Hindu scripture, and

after some research I was amazed by some of my

discoveries. I have decided to write my frst thread on
this because I haven't seen any concerning this specifc
topic since around 2!"2#. I'm $ust wondering what
everybody thin%s&maybe somebody %nows something I
don't and has more information to add. 'nyways, en$oy.
' Vimana is the name for the (ying machines
fre)uently described in Hindu scripture. *he Ramayana
and the Mahabharata are the two ma$or epics of 'ncient
India " both often mention the +imana. 's a matter of
fact, they circulate around the fact that deities and half"
deities e,ist and communicate with the earthlings,
passing down advanced %nowledge and advising
humanity. It becomes a much more believable fact once
you realize $ust how much today's modern science is
described in the ancient scriptures, humans alone could
never have written something so relevant without
having seen the -arth from space, measured the
distance from the -arth to the .un, and traveled to then
unreachable continents.
*he Ramayana spea%s of /two storied celestial chariots
with many windows/ that 0roar li%e o1 into the s%y until
they appear li%e comets.2 3hilst the 4ahabharata
mentions 0chariots, powered by winged lighting5it was
a ship that soared into the air, (ying to both the solar
and stellar regions.2
*he +edas 6.ans%rit for 0%nowledge2, also oldest
.ans%rit scripture " 7897 :;-< contain
revolutionary contents which have practically built the
base of modern science once you realize how many
/modern/ scientists were fascinated by .ans%rit
scripture. *o name a few, ;arl .agan, =ierre .imon de
>aplace 6the nebular hypothesis of the origin of the
solar system<, ?. Robert @ppenheimer " the developer of
the atomic bomb 6who studied .ans%rit and read the
:hagavad Aita in its original language, later citing it as
one of the most in(uential boo%s that shaped his
philosophy of life<.
Here are a few excerpts from the Vedas:
0*hrough astronomy, geography, and geology, go thou
to all the di1erent countries of the world under the sun.
4ayest thou attain through good preaching to
statesmanship and artisanship, through medical science
obtain %nowledge of all medicinal plants, through
hydrostatics learn the di1erent uses of water, through
electricity understand the wor%ing of ever lustrous
lightening. ;arry out my instructions willingly.2 6Ba$ur"
veda C.27<
0@ royal s%illed engineer, construct sea"boats, propelled
on water by our e,perts, and airplanes, moving and
(ying upward, after the clouds that reside in the mid"
region, that (y as the boats move on the sea, that (y
high over and below the watery clouds. :e thou,
thereby, prosperous in this world created by the
@mnipresent Aod, and (ier in both air and lightning.2
6Ba$ur"veda 7.7D<
The Rig Veda is 5,000 years old, the oldest
textbook of modern astronomy, and one of the
oldest suriing texts in the world, was written
by Rig Veda seers ! scientists" =re"Rig +eda
astronomers had e,plained such advanced concepts as
the sphericity of the -arth 6whilst most of the 3estern
world will believe the -arth is (at<, heliocentricity
6meanwhile and for )uite some time afterwards,
3estern scientists would still tal% about the -arth being
the center " geocentricity<E the =re"Rig +eda
astronomers had provided an astronomical e,planation
for the seasons, as well as for the auroral displays. *he
earliest reference to the zodiacal signs can be found in
the Rig +eda.
#arth as a sphere:
0*he .un does never set nor rise, when people thin% the
.un is setting 6it is not so<. For after having arrived at
the end of the day it ma%es itself produce two opposite
e1ects, ma%ing night to what is below and day to what
is on the other side5Having reached the end of the
night, it ma%es itself produce two opposite e1ects,
ma%ing day to what is below and night to what is on the
other side. In fact, the .un never sets5.2 6'itareya
:rahmana G.HH<
#arth as being $at at the poles and the age of the
#arth:
*wenty"four centuries before Isaac Iewton, the Rig
+eda stated that gravitation held the universe together.
*he 'ryans believed in a spherical earth while the
Aree%s believed in a (at one. 's a matter of fact, the
4ar%andeya =urana 68H.72< describes the -arth as
being (at at the poles, and bulging at the e)uator " not
spherical but closer to itJs actual shape. Indians in 8
'K calculated -arthJs age as H.G billion years "
scientists in 7Dth century -ngland were convinced it
was 7 million years old.
*he 4ar%andeya =uarana states the phrases of the
4oon, the cause of twilight, and the reason why the s%y
is blue 6scattered sunlight<. 6!#.# and 7G.D<
The sun as the center of the solar system, and
stars being suns:
Iot only did the +edas recognize the sun as the source
of light, life and warmth, the center of creation and of
the spheres 6heliocentricity<, they also contemplated
the idea of multiple suns 6stars<L 0*here are suns in all
directions, the night s%y being full of them.2
*wo thousand years before =ythagoras, Indian
philosophers believed that graviation was the force
which held the solar system together, and the most
massive ob$ect 6the sun<, must be at its center.
%ar&uis 'ierre (imon de )aplace 67!HD"7#2!< was a
French mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer. He
is best %nown for his nebular hypothesis of the origin of
the solar system.
0Ievertheless the ancient reputation of the Indians
does not permit us to doubt that they have always
cultivated astronomy, and the remar%able e,actness of
the mean motions which they assign to the .un and the
4oon necessarily re)uired very ancient observation.2

*raity:
0How is it that though the .un is not bound and is
directed downwards, it does not fallM2 6a )uestion
repeatedly as%ed in the Rig +eda<
0@b$ects fall on the -arth due to one force. *he -arth,
planets, constellations, moon and sun are held in orbit
because of that one force.2 6.urya .idhantha, H 'K<
0'll things fall to the -arth by law of natureE for it is the
nature of the -arth to attract and %eep things.2
6:rahmagupta<
+tomism:
0?ust as the beams of sunlight entering a room reveal
the presence of innumerable motes, so infnite space is
flled with countless brahmandas 6solar systems<.2 'nd
on the atomic structureL 0*here are vast worlds all
placed way vithin the hollows of each atom,
multifarious as the motes in a sunbeam.2
Nanada, an Indian scientist, is the founder of the
+aisesi%a system of philosophy, and according to him,
the entire matter of this world consists of atoms as
many in %ind as the various elements.
The +tomic ,omb:
4ost people agree that no human civilization before us
had %nowledge of atomic energy and its by"products.
*he atomic bomb is something completely novel to
modern science. :ut we fnd in the +edic literature
descriptions of weapons that had a similar amount of
energy as the atomic bombs we use today.
0*he atomic energy fssions the ninety"nine elements,
covering its path by the bombardments of neutrons
without let or hindrance. Kesirous of stal%ing the head,
ie. the chief part of the swift power, hiden in the mass
of molecular ad$ustments of the elements, this atomic
energy approaches it in the very act of fssioning it by
the above"noted bombardment. Herein, verily the
scientists %now the similar hidden stri%ing force of the
rays of the sun wor%ing in the orbit of the moon.2
6'tharva"veda 2.H7.7"G<
*he brahmastra, described in the 4ahbharata, is a
weapon which is said to be a single pro$ectile charded
with all the power of the universe. 0'n incandescent
column of smo%e and (ame as bright as ten thousand
suns rose in all its splendorL it was an un%nown weapon,
an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death,
which reduced to ashes. *he entire race of the +rishnis
and the 'ndha%as5the corpses were so burned as to be
unrecognizable. *heir hair and nails fell outE pottery
bro%e without apparent cause, and the birds turned
white. 'fter a few hours all foodstu1s were infected5to
escape from this fre the soldiers threw themselves in
streams to wash themselves and their e)uipment.2
-" Robert .ppenheimer 67DH"7DC!< was a scientist,
philosopher, bohemian, radical, fanantic of ancient
.ans%rit literature5a theoretical physicist and the
.upervising .cientist of the Manhattan Project, and most
importantly, the developer of the atomic bomb.
.even years after the frst successful atom bomb blast
test in Iew 4e,ico 6Trinity<, Kr. @ppenheimer was
giving a lecture at Rochester Oniversity. *o the )uestion
03as the bomb e,ploded at 'lamogordo during the
4anhattan pro$ect the frst one to be detonatedM2 he
gave a strange replyL
03ell P yes. In modern times, of course.2
'nd as for @ppenheimerJs frst words after the
detonation of the bomb,
0If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at
once into the s%y, that would be li%e the splendor of the
mighty one. Iow, I am become Keath, the destroyer of
worlds.2 6:hagavad Aita<
