cloning in Mahabharat

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Sampath,

 

About three years ago HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami

gave a discourse to a group ( doctors, scintiests,

engineers in USA) on how advanced we were. HH

referred to numerous sciences (vidyas) that our

forefathers were aware of. In this discourse HH

referred to the Mahabharat verses, Sri Ramayan

verses and mentioned that we had the technology

'inhouse' where we could clone, multiply and even

change forms, appear in multiple places at the

same time and so on. Just thought would mention

this.....

 

Jai Srimannarayana

HYDERABAD: The science of cloning and test-tube

baby was known to Indians of Mahabharata age

(3000 BC), according to a scientist who told a

conference on stem cell research here on Saturday

that the Kauravas "were products of a technology

that modern science has not even developed yet".

The epic Mahabharata describes Gandhari as a mother

of 100 sons who were called Kauravas, the eldest

of them being Dhuryodhana. "No woman can give

birth to 100 children in her lifetime, that too

all males and of the same age," B G Matapurkar,

a surgeon with the Maulana Azad Medical College

in New Delhi told the conference organised by the

southern chapter of the All India Biotech Association.

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 Mahabharata under the chapter Adiparva

that actually describes how the Kauravas were created

from a single embryo from Gandhari. He said that

according to the description in Mahabharata, the

Kauravas were created by splitting the single embryo

into 100 parts and growing each part in a separate

kund or container. "In other words," Matapurkar said,

"they not only knew about test-tube babies and embryo

spliting but also had the technology to grow human

foetuses outside the body of a woman-someting that

is not known to modern science," he aded.
