"In
the Ramayana texts there are references to flying machines that were
used for the convenience of the ruling class. In the Mahabharata texts
there are descriptions of battle planes that fire missiles that use
sound to find their target and beams of light that destroy anything they
touch with their energy.
Credit for these machines was
attributed to the Yavanas who are believed to be the ancient Greek
civilisations. In or around the early 1950’s a more modern text was
made available. Called the Vaimanika Sastra (science of Aeronautics) it
was allegedly the “inspired’ work of Subbaraya Shastry who claimed it
was based on the writings of the great sage Bharadwaja thus giving
authenticity to the scientific claims. The picture is a concept drawing
based on the written descriptions in the texts. However, it could
equally well describe the Russian concept rocket depicted on the
adjacent stamp.
It is also
worth noting that there are claims that the 1960’s Russian scientists
took a deep interest in the Vimana phenomenon and strangely it is around
this time that they made significant leaps forward in their
technological achievements.
Still, this is probably just a
coincidence. Vimana are not unique to India and there are references
from all over the world and include the Egyptian Saqqara Bird, the
pre-Columbian golden airplane models, the Greek Icarus legend, the
Chariot of Ezekiel, the Nazca runways (lines), The Abydos carvings, The
Tassili rock paintings from Algeria and the Chinese references to Lu
Ban’s wooden aircraft that flew great distances.
Naturally,
these references are often dismissed by modern historians as simply
impossible but there can be no doubt that humanity has a collective
memory of having once been able to fly in ancient times. Is this a
coincidence based on the worldwide wishful thinking of past
civilisations or is it a recollection of when it was actually possible.
You must decide for yourself."
