Vimanas: Ancient “Flying Machines” of the Gods

In ancient Hindu mythology, there are some strange vehicles called “Vimanas”. These machines were capable of flight and were sometimes called “the Chariots of the Gods”.
Traditional history assures that the first flying machine was created thanks to the Wright brothers, in 1903. However, thousands of years ago, in India, there was already talk of flying vehicles known as Vimanas.

This was the vehicle used by the gods and the oldest stories about this amazing civilization. Sanskrit writings thousands of years ago, describe the different forms and materials of construction.

Vimanas, the vehicle of the gods
These mysterious machines were used in impressive combat hundreds of years before Christ.

These wars are found in the Mahabharata, a story that describes the most important conflict between the clans in India in the year 3,000 BC. C. Vimanas are mentioned 41 times along with other advanced weapons.

One of these weapons is mentioned when King Salva attacks the city where the god Krishna lived, Dwaraka. Salva drives a Vimana named Saubha, who has the ability to make himself invisible. Krishna returns the attack with a beam that he locates and destroys the enemy with sonic waves.

In Gurkha’s attack on the Vrishis tribe, he is also mentioned as the first, riding in his Vimana, launching a single projectile “charged with all the power of the Universe”.

“An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose in all its splendor. It was the unknown weapon, the Thunderbolt of Steel, a gigantic messenger of death that reduced the race of Vrishnis and Andhakas to ashes.

In the Ramayana, the adventures of princess Sita, kidnapped by the evil Ravana, are narrated, Puspaka, another flying machine, is mentioned.

This was similar to the Sun and Ravana himself was brought. The writing describes it as a “luminous cloud”, with which it rose beyond the atmosphere.

Although the text does not qualify this machine as a Vimana, it could easily be equated with one.

Confirmation of advanced civilizations
Dr. V. Raghavan, former professor of Sanskrit at the University of Medras, explained that there are many documents dating back thousands of years that prove extraterrestrial existence.

“There is an enormous amount of fascinating information about flying machines and even science fiction weapons, which can be found in translations of the Vedas and other ancient Sanskrit texts.

Fifty years of research have convinced me that there are living beings on other planets and that they visited Earth 4,000 years B.C.”

In the Ramayana, the way how they can build them is also mentioned. It is indicated that 16 types of metals are necessary to make them, of which there are only 3 on Earth.

Ruth Reyna, from the University of Chandigarh, translated some texts from Sanskrit where she describes the “anti-gravitational force”. The force that the Yogis used to levitate.

According to her research, the Vimanas relied on this technology to move through space. It should be noted that the descriptions found in these texts are accurate. The only thing that would be needed for its construction would be to find the rest of the metals.

In other cultures, flying ships have also been mentioned, very similar to the aforementioned Vimanas, which could tell us that, in some way, ancient civilizations had the ability to build more advanced vehicles than the current ones.
