​Now that we are into the fall season, a simple and yet very effective way to cleanse our system and reinforce our immune function and vitality is to follow basic ayurvedic principles that should be conducted between change of seasons. These simple principles are called Ritucharya. 

Here are some of the Ritucharya steps that you can take as we get into this autumn/fall season...

There were various types of Vimanas during Vedic times.

Some of the most common types of Vimanas were:

• Aerial Chariots intended for individuals or smaller groups, mainly for pleasure travel
• Flying Palaces and Flying cities, which were obviously much larger in scale and operation
• Vimanas intended for interstellar travel

Aerial Chariots in Vedic Times

Aerial chariots were referred to as ‘Ratha’ in the time of the Rig Veda and later the terminology changed to ‘Vimana’. As per texts in the Rig Veda and Yajur Veda, these ‘rathas’ had a triangular top with a broader, squarish base.

​Also there is mention that the inside area was 9ftx9ft =81 sq.ft, which can comfortably accommodate 7-8 people.  

The Pushpaka Vimana is one of the most important examples of this kind of Vimana technology.

Flying Palaces and Cities in Vedic Times

The Samarangana Sutradhara, an important Vedic text containing details of vimana technology states clearly that the planes were designed so as to imitate palaces on ground.

The temple design seal of a 1st century BCE temple at Bodh Gaya discovered recently reveals that its shape had a rectangular base with a tapering top reminiscent of a modern day helicopter shape. But more importantly, it adds weight to the Samarangana reference that perhaps it may have served as an inspiration for building an aerial palace in the days gone by.

An ancient Vedic epic – Arthashaastra-by Sage Kautilya refers to a flying city called Saubha, which belonged to King Harishchandra. In fact there is reference to “Saubhikas’ amongst the various tradespeople of the time, pointing towards people who were trained to operate the Saubha.


Vimanas for Interstellar Travel

Such Vimanas were called ‘Nakshatramandalas’ (nakshatra meaning star) and possibly there existed aircrafts capable of flying across galaxies. The strongest evidence for this comes from the discovery of some Sanskrit documents in Tibet by China. On analyzing the material, it was found to contain detailed instructions for building interstellar spaceships.

​Apparently, these interstellar aircrafts were powered by “laghima’, the power of the ego, which is responsible for the levitation exhibited by Hindu yogis.

It does appear that a wide range of Vimana technology was present in Vedic times. It is also interesting to note in recent times and in the past, eye witness descriptions of UFO sightings are chillingly similar to the ancient Vimana designs.

​Vedic texts describe in great detail the effects produced by certain weapons like the Brahmastra and Indra’s thunderbolt, which included intense heat, columns of smoke hampering visibility, blinding brightness and the ill health effects on victims. These details bear a chilling similarity to the eyewitness accounts of the nuclear bombings.

The Vedic period was an age characterized by high levels of individual intellectual capabilities in areas of mathematics, astronomy etc. So perhaps, the people then had already unlocked the mysteries of the atom.

There are many Vedic Texts which give references indicating Nuclear Weapons

The Mahabharata describes the effects of a particular weapon used in warfare thus:

• "When the shell hit the ground, the darkness covered the sky, twisters and storms leveled the towns. A horrible blast burnt thousands of animals and people to ashes.”
• “Whole armies collapsed like trees in a forest burnt where they stood as in a raging fire”.

Another Ancient text the Drona Bhisheka refers to a war fought between good and evil forces where “All cities were consumed in an all encompassing inferno”.

These references point out the fact that these effects may have been caused by the intense heat released in a nuclear explosion.

The Mausala Parva, a Vedic text describing the aftermath of the Mahabharata war says “36 Years after the great Mahabharata war – strong and dry winds carrying gravels (rock fragments) still blew from every side. The horizon was always covered with some kind of fog in all directions. Blazing pieces of coal fell from sky to earth. The disc of the Sun was always covered with dust”.

Such a massive and long term impact on nature is usually the result of nuclear warfare.

Two decades after the Mahabharata, a war was fought that led to the destruction of the Yadava Clan. The Mausla Parva describing the effects of this war says “Asses were born of kine, and elephants of mules. Cats were born of bitches and mouse of the mongoose”

This may be a reference to widespread genetic mutation that radiation exposure causes in the course of nuclear warfare.

In this way, we find several references in many different ancient  Vedic texts about the existence of nuclear technologies during the Vedic times!!

It is now well established that flying machines or vimanas existed in ancient India. Vedic texts like the Rig Veda and epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana have numerous references to ‘flying machines’, which cannot be overlooked.

​Further the book ‘Vaimanika Shaastra’ written by Sage Bharadwaj contains amazingly accurate and precise details of construction, operation and maintenance of Vimanas.

Types of Vimanas

Some of the most commonly referred to Vimanas in the Vedic texts include-

• Aerial Chariots intended for individuals or smaller groups, mainly for pleasure travel
• Flying Palaces and Flying cities, which were obviously much larger in scale and operation
• Vimanas equipped with features that made them particularly useful in war and
• Vimanas intended for interstellar travel

In this manner, as we research into ancient texts and check out various evidence, we find that there were many different types of vimanas-flying objects that were present during Vedic times.

It was a major breakthrough for mankind when the Wright brothers made their first successful flight in 1903. Or so we thought. There is now evidence that technology was utilized to build flying machines in Vedic times. 

​Several ancient Sanskrit documents credit sages Agastya and Bharadwaja with establishing the principles for aircraft construction. In fact, there are references to ancient ‘flying machines’ that are very similar to modern day hot air balloons (called a “Chchatra”) and parachutes (called a “Vimandvigunam”). 

​The ‘Vaimanika Shastra’ written by sage Bharadwaja not only elaborates technology for aircraft building, but also includes technology for steering the aircraft, protection from storm and lightning and incorporates elaborate diagrams. The book was discovered in an Indian temple and has since been translated into English from the original Sanskrit.

The Vaimanika Shastra further reveals that the aeroplanes took off vertically, indicating that some form of anti-gravity technology was utilized in their construction. There is also reference to a liquid propulsion agent, most likely gasoline that propelled the aeroplane through air.

The book also mentions the use of a technology that made the aeroplanes invisible to enemy during aerial warfare. On reconstructing the particular alloy referred to in the text, scientists found that it absorbs as much as 78% light, making it ‘invisible’  for all practical purposes.

In this manner, as we research ancient texts, there are several  authentic mentions and clear proof of existence of airplane (aeroplane) and aviation technology  during the Vedic times.

The essence of Vedic Mathematics is contained in 16 sutras or word-formulae that can be applied to solve any and every mathematical problem.  These sutras are constructed in such a manner as to be in line with natural mental thinking.

​So it is easier to internalize them, which in turn directs the student (problem solver) in the right path for figuring out the solution.

Because all formulae are based on the 16 sutras, there is a general sense of coherence across the Vedic Mathematics system. It is not a muddled mixed bag of unrelated techniques as in conventional mathematics. 

Incidentally, that is why most students can’t grasp math, it appears very random. For instance, the one line simple technique used for determining squares just needs to be reversed to arrive at square roots.

Secondly, Vedic Mathematics offers a degree of creativity. In Vedic Mathematics, math and creativity do go hand in hand. As the sutras reveal a general direction, it is possible for students to come up with their own unique methods for solving a problem based on the sutra. This keeps math interesting and fun.

Finally, Vedic Mathematics facilitates solving complex problems like reciprocals, big number multiplication, square and square roots etc quickly and mentally.

Vedic mathematics is a system of mathematics that has been rediscovered from ancient Indian Vedic texts. The Indian Vedic System that existed thousands of years ago contained several mathematical formulae and theorems that were used for practical applications like temple architectural calculations, geometrical calculations etc.

​However, this unique knowledge was lost and buried deep in the recesses as time passed on. Vedic mathematics may have been lost forever to mankind. 

Fortunately, in the early 20th century, Shri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji, great Indian philosopher, and mathematics and Sanskrit scholar rediscovered Vedic mathematics and presented it in its current day form. He delved into the ancient Vedic texts and made a deep study of their mathematical concepts.

He was able to grasp the essence of the ancient mathematical formulae and realized how evolved and advanced they were in accurately solving complicated mathematical problems.  And as mathematics is a subject that is independent of time, a formula that provided the accurate results thousands of years ago will provide the right results today as well as thousands of years from now. 

Shri Tirthaji Maharaj established all the techniques and principles of the ancient mathematical system that is today known as Vedic Mathematics.

This is a just a short introduction to the ancient, vast and expansive Vedic Tradition. In the true sense, Vedic Culture was never a religious group of people! For the people of these times, it was simply an advanced and authentic way to live life. In-sync within (microcosm- our soul) and in-sync above (macrocosm- the Universal Consciousness).

For the sake of convenience, Vedas are referred to as religious texts (but a text is something that has a beginning and an end). The Vedas are believed to be the embodiment of spiritual knowledge that came from the Gods through the ancient Indian Rishis or seers. And knowledge cannot be confined in a text. Vedas are believed to be eternal and timeless and therefore as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago when first revealed.

More than a religious text, the ancient Vedas are a set of guidelines by which to lead life. These guidelines that cover every aspect of life from the basis of what is today called ancient Vedic wisdom from India.

Veda Means Knowledge

Veda means ‘wisdom’ or ‘knowledge’. Ancient Vedic wisdom from India incorporates several scientific concepts that are being proven by Western science today. It would be no exaggeration to state that every element in the ancient Indian Vedas has a strong scientific basis.  Perhaps, this was divine intervention or plain common sense or maybe something more. We shall never know. But the fact is that ancient Vedic wisdom from India has produced concepts that are of immense value today.


Vedic Concepts

Some of the beneficial concepts derived from the ancient Vedic wisdom of India include the following:

1. Yoga:

Yoga is one of the tools put forth by the Vedas to lead a more fulfilling life. Yoga, which literally means union, refers to the union of the individual consciousness with the supreme consciousness. This can be achieved only with complete awareness of one’s self which is the purpose of Yoga.  Another aim that the ancient Vedas intended people to achieve through the regular practice of yoga is to be able to control and calm the mind. Once your mind is under your control, you are able to think clearly and rationally, to make the best decisions. 

​2. Ayurveda-

Ayurveda refers to the science of healing that stems from the ancient Vedic wisdom. The term is derived from two words – ayu meaning ‘life’ and veda meaning ‘science’. Ayurveda therefore refers to the ‘science of life’. Ayurevda believes in the connection between body and mind and the impact of nature on the health or illness of the individual.



3. Vedic Astrology (Jyotish)-

Vedic astrology refers to the science predicting the future of an individual based on date, time and place of birth.  Based on this information, the person’s birth chart is created. This is achieved through complex mathematical and astronomical calculations that determine the planetary positions on that date, at that time at that particular location (latitude and longitude). 


4. Vedic Mathematics-

The concept of Vedic mathematics offers an alternative approach to various math aspects such as algebra, geometry, calculus and trigonometry. The basis of Vedic mathematics lies in its 16 easy to memorize ‘sutras’ or threads of knowledge that help solve complex mathematical problems like reciprocals,  squares and cubes with their roots and multiple simultaneous equations quickly and mentally (without the use of calculators).  This of course is good exercise for your brain and keeps you mentally fit and agile. 


In addition, there are several other Vedic sciences- such as Sound Therapy, Quantum & Energetic Studies among others.

​Kali is the primordial energy of creation, the first feminine energy principle responsible for this entire manifested universe. That is why she is often addressed as Adi Shakti- the first energy principle.

For those who may not be familiar with the true Vedic philosophy and teachings, it is important to note that all Vedic and Hindu deities represent cosmic energies that are part of the Divine Universal Energy or the Supreme God-head.  

​Shiva represents the Male Cosmic energy principle of our form-created world and Parvati (who is another representation of Shakti), is the Female Cosmic energy principle.  

Both these primal Male and Female cosmic energy principles are responsible for creating this Universe. Thus Shiva and Shakti together create this form-world as we know.

Kali, who represents Time, is the first and foremost of all Shakti-s, i.e. energy forms. Since all of creation manifests and exits in and thru her, she is also a representation of space- where all things can come into being. 

In this way, Kali represents the Space-Time continuum which allows for this manifested material world to exist.
