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

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.

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
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.

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
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.
