About

In a brand new episode of a two-part segment of the Voice of Bengaluru, host Sowjanya tells an interesting story of the invention of an Indian aeroplane before the Wright brothers invented one - all with the help of Vaimanika Shastra. Vaimanika Shashtra is an ancient Sanskrit text that describes flying machines and aerospace technology. It is believed to have been written by sage Bharadwaja, who lived during the Vedic period in India, which dates back to around 1500-500 BCE. The text contains detailed descriptions of various types of flying machines, including vimanas, which were said to be powered by mercury, electric charge, and solar energy. The Vaimanika Shastra is considered to be one of the most important and mysterious texts in the history of Indian literature. It is said to contain information about aircraft that was not just capable of flight but also possessed extraordinary capabilities like invisibility, the ability to change shape and size, and the capacity to travel vast distances in short amounts of time. It is also said to contain detailed information on the technology used to create these aircraft. One of the most remarkable things about the Vaimanika Shashtra is the sophistication of the technology described in the text. The vimanas described in the text are said to be capable of travelling at great speeds, both in the air and on the ground. They were also equipped with a range of advanced weapons, including missiles, laser beams, and sound waves. The text even describes aircraft that were capable of travelling underwater.
