The mystery of vimanas deepens!!

Its good to be back..Its relatively gone away for bout a few seconds in the celestial order!! Its in fact been years over here on earth..wow..

Ok lets get started!!

The questions that had both my hands and mouth tied up for all these while is nothing but; Why is it so hard to understand our foreign ancestors??

So is there any convincing, tangible evidence that these ancient flying machines existed? Well, no. The arguments for the existence of vimanas and ancient technology, based largely on loose interpretations and assumptions, are, at best, flimsy. The people who propose these theories – alternative historians, UFO spooks, conspiracy theorists and so on – are more noteworthy for imagination than scholarship. So it was with a healthy dose of skepticism that I recently looked through the ancient sources these writers cite in their speculations about vimanas.

The mention of airplanes is found many times throughout Vedic literature, including the following verse from the Yajur-Vedadescribing the movement of such machines:

"O royal skilled engineer, construct sea-boats, propelled on water by our experts, and airplanes, moving and flying upward, after the clouds that reside in the mid-region, that fly as the boats move on the sea, that fly high over and below the watery clouds. Be thou, thereby, prosperous in this world created by the Omnipresent God, and flier in both air and lightening. (Yajur Veda, 10.19)

The Rig Veda, the oldest document of the human race includes references to the following modes of transportation:

• Jalayan - a vehicle designed to operate in air and water. (Rig Veda 6.58.3)

• Kaara- Kaara- Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in water. (Rig Veda 9.14.1)

• Tritala- Tritala- Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories. (Rig Veda 3.14.1)

• Trichakra Ratha - Trichakra Ratha - Trichakra Ratha - a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in the air. (Rig Veda 4.36.1)

• Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- a gas or wind-powered chariot. (Rig Veda 5.41.6)

• Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- a vehicle that operates on power. (Rig Veda 3.14.1).

Kathasaritsagara refers to highly talented woodworkers called Rajyadhara and Pranadhara. The former was so skilled in mechanical contrivances that he could make ocean crossing chariots. And the latter manufactured a flying chariot to carry a thousand passengers in the air. These chariots were stated to be as fast as thought itself.
