Many researchers into the UFO enigma tend to overlook a very important fact. While it assumed that most flying saucers are of alien, or perhaps Governmental Military origin, another possible origin of UFOs is ancient India and Atlantis. What we know about ancient Indian flying vehicles comes from ancient Indian sources; written texts that have come down to us through the centuries. There is no doubt that most of these texts are authentic; many are the well known ancient Indian Epics themselves, and there are literally hundreds of them. Most of them have not even been […] Read More

1999: Ancient Vimana Aircraft

John Burrows Summary: Sanskrit texts are filled with references to gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped with weapons as deadly as any we can deploy in these more enlightened times. Sanskrit texts are filled with references to gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped with weapons as deadly as any we can deploy in these more enlightened times. For example, there is a passage in the Ramayana which reads: “The Puspaka car that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was brought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at will …. that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky.” “.. and the King [Rama] got in, and the excellent car […] Read More

1999: The Story of Vimanas

Dr. Srikumar V. Gopalakrishna In the Vedic literature of India, there are many descriptions of flying machines that are generally called vimanas. These fall into two categories: (l) manmade craft that resemble airplanes and fly with the aid of birdlike wings, and (2) unstreamlined structures that fly in a mysterious manner and are generally not made by human beings. The machines in category (l) are described mainly in medieval, secular Sanskrit works dealing with architecture, automata, military siege engines, and other mechanical contrivances. Those in category (2) are described in ancient works such as the Rg Veda, the Maha-bha-rata, the Rama-yana, and the Pura-nas. In addition, there is one book entitled Vaima-nika-sa-stra that was dictated in trance during this century and purports to be […] Read More

1999: UFOs and Vimanas

By Stephen Knapp Summary: In supplying information about the advancements of Vedic science, the subject of Vedic airplanes, vimanas, is almost in a classification of its own. Some of this information is so amazing that for some people it may border science fiction. Nonetheless, as we uncover and explain it, it provides serious food for thought.

1999: Vimanas

The Vedic traditions of India tell us that we are now in the Fourth Age of mankind. The Vedas call them the “The Golden Age”, “The Silver Age”, and “The Bronze Age” and we are now, according to their scriptures in the “The Iron Age”. As we approach the end of the 20th century both Native Americans, Mayans, and Incans, prophecies claim that we are coming to the end of an age. The Vimanas – The Ramayana describes a Vimana as a double-deck, circular (cylindrical) aircraft with portholes and a dome. It flew with the speed of the wind and gave forth a melodious sound (a humming noise?). Ancient Indian texts on Vimanas are so numerous it would take several books to relate what […] Read More

1999: Vimanas: The Ancient Indian Astronaut Connection

Colin Mulligan Summary: I first remember reading about vimanas, i.e. highly advanced ancient Indian flying machines, in Chariots Of The Gods, the first international best-seller of the controversial author Erich Von Daniken. Down the years I have come across several other interesting references to vimanas elsewhere, too. It wasn’t , however, until I recently received an e mail from an Indian reader of my article Ancient Astronauts, that I recalled just how very intriguing these vimanas and, indeed, many other references to space travel and fantastically advanced technology in ancient Indian texts are. To this end, the following piece is intended to take a fresh look at vimanas and, moreover, explore the Indian ancient astronaut connection in general. I first remember reading about vimanas, […] Read More

2000: Secrets of the Vimana

Illuminations The Ancient Legends All images by Kamini Singh from South Asian Women’s Forum – Monday, Oct 16, 2000 (1) An Overview of the Literature “In various kinds of Asian and South Asian texts, we find references to flying machines and aerial vehicles. Chinese and Indian stories tell of peoples or individual artisans who constructed devices for traveling through the air. The stories take many different forms, including quite fanciful romances. Others present a picture of inventors taking pains to understand the basic principles of flight, and crafting machines of wood to achieve this goal.” – Dr. Benjamin B. Olshin, “Mechanical Mythology: Private Descriptions of Flying Machines as Found in Early Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Other Texts” (draft copy) The word vimana is purportedly derived […] Read More

Does Vedic Culture Remain in the Hollow Earth?

In Shree Ramayana, we have several scenes that are suggestive of the existence of inner areas of the Earth’s crust as well as a hollow cavity. For example, after Shrimati Sitadevi had been kidnapped by Ravana, Shree Laksman swore to Rama that he would pursue the rascal even if Lakshman had to chase him to the “dark caverns of the Earth”. In chapter 8 of Kishkindya, Rama proves his ability to Sugriva by discharging an arrow which “pierced through seven palms, a rock, and the INNERMOST region of the Earth and in a minute again came back to the quiver”. to an ocean,??? and then on into the hollow cavity of the planet, translated by Makhanlal Sen as subterranean regions???, following the chariot of […] Read More

The Sons of Sagara in the Hollow Earth

From the Brahmanda Purana, translation by Tagore, with notes by Dean DeLucia-  Laura McDonald, research. Chapter Fifty-Two of the Brahmanda Purana Jaimini Said: 1. ” After banishing his son, the virtuous-souled Lord Sagara transferred his love for him to the child Amsumam whose conduct was righteous. 2. At the very same time, O king, the sons of Sumati grew up collectively. All of them were amiable, devoted and faithful to one another. 3. They had adamantine bodies. They were cruel, merciless and shameless. They were habitually evil in their activities. They had the same nature and characteristics. 4. They cooperated in doing simultaneously the same work. They were deluded in their minds. They were easily irritable. They could not be easily assailed by any […] Read More

The Vedas: Mantras, Mandalas, the Krell Helmet and John Keely

by Jerry W. Decker, Director Vangard Sciences The Vedas contain many references to machines and devices which appear to use certain types of fire. This fire is said to consist of any of 49 different varieties which include sound, electricity, magnetism, heat and other types which modern man has yet to re-discover. For some mysterious reason, I have always been attracted to these Vedic stories, possibly due to a consuming interest in the work of John W. Keely stemming from the late 60’s. Sounds, indeed all frequencies, have properties which formal science has yet to uncover. The Vedas speak of flying machines, referred to as Vimanas, which were purported to use the power of sound for the production of levitation and thrust. On a […] Read More

Traditions of Sanat Kumara, East and West

An Esoteric History of Our Solar System Eye of God, photographed by NASA Truth is stranger than fiction. – Mark Twain http://www.sanatkumara.info/traditions.htm According to esoteric tradition, life exists throughout this solar system. Though invisible to the untrained eye, millions of souls on other planets contribute to the overall spiritual ecosystem of our solar system and galaxy. Our choices on earth also greatly impact their destiny. What appears to be science fiction is actually spiritual non-fiction. The reason why our scientists cannot detect these life forms is because there are several dimensions within the physical plane that vibrate at different frequencies. Life on the Sun, Venus, and Mercury vibrates at a higher frequency that corresponds to the etheric plane. Life on Mars vibrates at the […] Read More
