According to a book that was recently introduced in India, the Hindus have designed the basis of aviation, even interplanetary travel, thousands of years before the Wright brothers.
The work, presented by Anand Weddings and Ameya Jadhav during the scientific conference organized by the University of Mumbai, India, concludes that an aviation system even more advanced than the current would have been described by the sage Maharshi Bharadwaja, thousands of years ago. Bharadwaja was one of the greatest Hindu sages. He attained extraordinary scholarship and he had the great power of meditation.

The Vaimānika Śāstra an early 20th-century Sanskrit text on aerospace technology makes claim that he vimānas mentioned in ancient Sanskrit epics were advanced aerodynamic flying vehicles, similar to a rocket capable of interplanetary flight as backed up by the ancient alien theory.
The texts were revealed in 1952 by G. R. Josye and contain 3000 shlokas in 8 chapters which Shastry claimed was psychically delivered to him by the ancient Hindu sage Bharadvaja. The propulsion of the Vimanas according to Kanjilal (1985) is by a “Mercury Vortex Engines”, a concept similar to electric propulsion.
The authors argue that the sage Maharishi Bharadwaj would have described more than 7000 years ago “aircraft traveling between countries, continents and planets.” At the same time, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Mumbai, Rajan Welukar, said that “there is no reason to believe in what they say about the Vedas, but it is something that is worth studying.”
Even though there are several studies that have demonstrated that these ancient flying machines were not really capable of flight, there are many researchers and scholars who believe that these ancient machines were blueprints of high-tech flying machines.
In 1974, a study by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore found that the heavier-than-air aircraft that the Vaimānika Śāstra described were aeronautically unfeasible.
Mr. Boda is quoted in the Mumbai Mirror as saying “modern science is unscientific” because it considers things it does not comprehend as not possible. He is further quoted as saying, “The Vedic or rather ancient Indian definition of an aeroplane was a vehicle which travels through the air from one country to another country, from one continent to another continent, from one planet to another planet,” he said. “In those days aeroplanes were huge in size, and could move left, right, as well as backwards, unlike modern planes which only fly forward.”
At least now, the persons who can read Vedas should thoroughly read them or scientists and Veda-readers should in tandem understand, work together and come out with any such un-innovated things that are written in the Vedas, if any, so that we can really be very proud of our Vedas by shouting aloud to the rest of the world that because of what is written in our Vedas we have innovated or brought into being this particular one for the use of mankind. It may not be fair to say, now, only after the flights, aerocrafts, etc. were invented by other countrymen after putting in a lot of effort, that these were already there in our Vedas. Let us judiciously consider this aspect!
It is nice to Know,India is far advanced in Techknowledgy ,as well as in Medicine.in the Vedic Period.Only mystery is how can this Knowledge vanish without leaving any trace. If Vedic literature is available to show the what advanced stage we were in vedic period,there should be some reasonable believable facts to show all the knowledge was lost.
It seems that all the modern science & technology had originated in India , be it rocketry , atomic warfare , stem cell research , plastic surgery etc. Dont know how we lost it . So west had to reinvent it . Now they are the leaders & we have to depend on them . What a tragedy !
The Germans were the authority in reading and understanding our ancient Vedas. .. and they successfully used the science and knowledge gained from them to make nuclear power, missile and aircraft technology. This is why the Germans had such a fascination in India’s past as well as their pursuit into Aryan genetics… But why didn’t and still doesn’t India take heed from that vast knowledge… Probably far too late anyway….
I too fully agree with Mr. Boda’s words that “modern science is unscientific”.
Now, it is the time for the people concerned in different circles [Science as well as Sanskrit] to study Vedas and understand them thoroughly, before simply saying “Oh, All these things were in our Vedas”.
Without deep study, nothing should be dismissed as out of court. Science demands research for proof an open mind for enquiry. Pudhpaka Vimaana may be poetic imagination in full flight or it could refer to an agreement flying object as light as a flower. Let there be a scientific enquiry.
It is good In such a case at least Indian scientists should work hard. I am surprised why Dr. APJ kalam sir, did not take interest.
It is very interesting to know that our ancients were great saintists (Saint + Scientist ). We have lost our own knowledge because of our dislike for the beautiful language called “Sanskrit”. The language itself is very scientifically designed. Unfortunately, our own countrymen oppose its teaching. In fact, we are depriving our own children of the great knowledge hidden in all the Sanskrit literature. The western-minded Indian intellectuals and great journalists should come out of their prejudice and try to learn the ever-green language and support the Government to introduce the language in the curriculum. Once the opportunity is given to learn the language, then within the next 20 years, there will be experts to understand what is written in our ancient scriptures. We pray to God that let wisdom dawn on these great men to respect the cultured-language.
King Rawana from Lankapura (Sri Lanka) had Aircrafts (Dhandu Monara) over 4,000 BC.
This is not a myth. Ignored, infatuation and unshakable faith in modern science made our scriptures to vanish. our psedo intellectual shamelesly praising the borrowed culture and finding falts in our culture at ourown bacckyard.
Fascinating article ….
I agree with k v d Prasad it us a great shame investigation was not much before this! Nonetheless a wonderful discovery !
Yes,we had PUSHPAK VIMANA
It’s a well known fact that at the turn of the Yugas ie: Dwapar,Tretha,etc Our planet dissolves most if not all of mankind’s earthly stuff. Continents became only because of the rising oceans due to this too. Discovering relics,fossils and texts aid us in knowing a little more. As we progress in the thousands of years left in our current Age of Kaliyuga,we too will eventually reach the stages of development like the ancient Hindus of Bharath. Apart from inter nation jealousy,most modern day achievement ‘s owe much to Vedic records. The truth shall always be hidden to protect narrow minded selfish jealous ego’s. This is a world driven by vicious selfish agendas. But ultimately Bharath shall emerge as the Royal Leader in years to come.
Hindu have discovered all kinds of science , knowledge thousands of years before. Truth is truth, no one in the world can deny.
pleasant surprise to know all this.I was told when I was in school,about our Teacher,that Germans had stolen all this and other data,by visiting South India,and inner villages,took away many books of literature,including Swastik sign{they put it wrong way{cross wise,a negative sign for the WW11 result of their defeat]including U2 rockets they used on England,plus a lot more technical data}So here it is.Thanks,from Chandru G.Advani Japan
It is true we had advanced technology in ancient India.Unfortunately we are not proud of it and made no attempt to give maximum publicity,In fact I have given many ancient technology information in my book titled PRALAYA{6th edition}
I feel so proud to be born in this country!Though I was a history student never had chance to learn important part of indian history .Now because of India.org I am travelling a lot , visiting historical places .Hope some day I will be able to see this vimana parked on some mountain top!
This article insist that at school level with history , study of Vedas should be included. So that it will acknowledge the new generation about ancient Indian fact.Also migration in foreign country will be checked giving new direction to all .

Yes, Every science is in Veda I strongly believe.Not only with respect to aviation skills etc. our ancient greatest sages have handedover invaluable information on each and every thing that is related to the universe .I have gone through the Gharbopanishad which is totally related to the genetic engineering. The great Epics Ramayana Mahabharatham and Mahabhagavatham contain tremendous secrets of all the sciences if they are studied with a sense of searching enquiry to a great extent.
How long are we going to wallow in our past glory. There
are many achievements of our present day scientists–
Let us propagate and fine glory in them.

However I life in this age and I have not life in the ancient time, but I belief that our Hindu ancestors have constructed the all things about science. I belief that the Hindu’s ancestors science and technology highest than the science and technology in this time. So, I proud as an Hindu with all of the Hindu scriptures.
I very sad when I read the history about the Takshasila University – the oldest and the biggest university in the world that establish in Bharatavasha, but because of foreign colonizers then the all of the Hindu’s literature’s properties they brought to their native countries. The Bharata’s country become lose a few of his literatures that consist of the science and technology. Now, by the end of the Kaliyuga, all things will be clear, and by quickly will known which the nation is honest.
Jai Shree Krishna. The Vedas are not something to debate whether to believe in everything that it contains, but to faithfully adhere to as nothing so far has been found to be false. The Vedas contains the knowledge of how the world should move forward in the different spheres that it will encounter before theMaha Parlay after the Kaliyug. Science does not dominate the Vedas but science is still struggling to look for all that the Vedas has forecasted. I am proud of the Maha Rishis that had the foresight to put together the wordings of the Vedas. It is also forecasted in the Vedas that there will be those who will challenge and go to any extent to undermine the Knowledge of the Vedas. The more they continue to challenge this Kowledge, the more they delve into it but due to arrogance cannot reveal that they have found the Vedas to be Purely The Truth. We cannot change this as the Vedas Itself has forecasted this happening as we continue to advance deeper into the Kali Yug. So believers, we know and have Shradhha in this knowledge, let those in arrogance find out the harder way. It is true that they have named the Wright Brothers as having discovered the first flying machine, because the do not want our Forefathers to be given the right and honor. This is just another plot of those same people who were ultimately chased out of our country and are still soar about it. God Bless you all.
The Vedas are the source of all sciences. The viman shastra is based on the teachings of the Vedas. Maharishi Dayanand Sarasvati wrote the book called RGVEDADIBHASYABHUMIKA to show that the Veda mantras teach about science also. The Vedas say Antarikshe rajaso vimaanah, antariksh gachcha samudra gachcha, before the wrights brothers Talpade an indian manufactured the first aeroplane and it flew on juhu beach.
It is beyond doubt that our ancient culture was highly advanced. To quote a few, Om sound from Sun recorded by NASA, Sakti yantra glyph in Oregon, radiation affected skeletons found in Mohanjodaro evidencing Atomic bomb. My ardent prayer to the scientists all over the world is, in the interest and benefit of the mankind as a whole to have noble heart to acknowledge importance of unearthing secrets of our ancient scriptures by earmarking funds from all countries as one human race. I wish for One globe, One Race -Human!
The “Truth” is gradually being “Understood”.(not invented or discovered!)
It’s sad to mention that it is being done by others and not by “us” (Indians)..
Why?..
What happened to the science & knowledge?
Germans stole it from us?
What else reasons or excuses, we, Indians could think of?!?!…
It is our “own” weakness & ignorance that we lost everything to be taken (not stolen) from us!.
1) WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE BOOK THAT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED IN INDIA? IS IT A “WORK” OR A BOOK?
2) I remember to have read (may not be accurate in my memory) that the Baroda Maharaja was funding “high speed propulsion” using Mercury Vapour or so. And the European /UK Govts scuttled the funding.
Is it not time time that the Academics / Scientists are “funded”a project to unravel all the evidence and consolidate, rather than the sporadic and poular writings keep appearing in the media and keep on repeating unfounded arguments and counters in Science Conferences — sheer political science!
Those amazing INDIANS!!! It’s time for Indians (Hindus) to stand up and be counted. They have much to offer to the well-being of mankind.
It is highly unlucky for India to have had highly developed knowledge and skills but having bad luck and we have been and now too ruled by non Indians and even today too we are voting to persons looting us and not able to live like developed country.Still foolishly voting, giving power to caste than capability.
