I think it is very natural that we look for a scientific explanation for these phenomena which are depicted in Mahabharat. May I run a point or two by you. When the British first went to India, they deciphered Sanskrit and translated the Puranas. ( You never should have let those people into your country. We kicked them out of ours, beginning with that Cornwallis fellow. Anyway, that is a different story ) So when they investigated the narrations, they discovered descriptions which were either wild-eyed and utterly preposterous, or actual descriptions of the technologies of demigod civilisation. For example, they noted comments about flying machines, guided arrows and weapons launched by mantras.Nowadays we have seen the advent of similar technologies such as aircraft, guided missles and voice activated weapons. But in the meantime, the mundane wranglers used these apparent inconsistencies to bash and undermine Vedic culture and religion. This is what we cannot do; just because things are presented which are outside of our comprehension, we cannot start concluding that this literature and that one is poppycock. The jury is still out. There are also astronomical descriptions which are hard to understand. In his books Vedic Cosmography and also Alien Identities, Dr. Richard L. Thompson goes a long way towards justifying puranic descriptions, especially the astronomical comments, in terms of modern science. The books of Dr. Thompson may be perused at: www.afn.org/~bvi The hollow planets concept could go a long way towards explaining puranic comments to the effect of civilisation existing on all the planets. Perhaps the civilisations described exist primarily within the planets. A decent article in this regard would be one of my own, this one being about Hollow Venus. Please remember to rate the article at the bottom. And you might need to expand the picture to follow the curvature. http://www.vnn.org/editorials/ET0003/ET25-5743.html The hollow planets site is at: www.hollowplanets.com I look forward to more conversations in this regard.
