Well, two reasons: The Vedic flying machines were supposed to be capable of the same flight manoeuvres as the German saucers, and the Vymaanika Shaastra (or Vymanika Shastra) is also channelled. Just like the Nazi UFO’s, the Vedic flying machines dwell somewhere in the realms between apocryphal technology and the occult. The Vymaanika Shaastra is a channelled work, yet… The 102nd Indian Science Congress, held at the Mumbai University in January 2015, organised a session on “ancient sciences through Sanskrit” in which a presentation on Vaimānika Śāstra (Vimanika Shastra) was included. It was delivered by Anand J. Bodas, a pilot, and Ameya Jadhav, who holds in an M.A. in Sanskrit as well as an M.Tech. degree. Bodas, speaking to the news media, has said that the aeroplanes of Vedic times could fly not only from country to country, but also “from planet to planet.” “In those days, aeroplanes were huge in size, and could move left, right, as well as backwards, unlike modern planes which only fly forward,” he added. NASA was not amused and NASA scientist Ram Prasad Gandhiraman, launched an online petition demanding that the talk be cancelled as it represents pseudo-science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVimana controlled by the mind\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vimāna is a flying palace or chariot described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics which was controlled by the mind. The Pushpaka Vimana of the demon king Ravana (which was taken from Lord Kubera, and returned to him by Rama) is the most quoted example of a vimana. The Sanskrit word vi-māna literally means “measuring out, traversing” or “having been measured out”. Vimāna may denote any car or vehicle, carrying its occupant through the air. Other descriptions make the vimāna more like a house or palace, and one kind is supposed to be seven stories high, especially a bier or a ship as easily as a palace of an emperor. In some modern Indian languages like Telugu, Hindi, vimāna simply means “aircraft”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAMzzz Occult Bookstore Global","offers":[{"title":"ENG- English","offer_id":54601256567123,"sku":"9789492355324","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1092\/1302\/4595\/files\/032_vimaanika_cover_frontback_apart.jpg?v=1786888350"},{"product_id":"the-book-of-halloween","title":"The Book of Halloween","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Book of Halloween\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1919) gives the reader an account of the origin and history of Halloween and how it absorbed customs belonging to other days in the year, such as May Day, Midsummer, and Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Ruth Edna Kelly intensely researched the subject blending history, folklore and mythology.

This volume examines the astrological significance of 147 objects, including Earth Trojans, a Quasi-Satellite of Earth, Arjuna, Atira and Aten asteroids, as well as Apollo, Amor, Hungaria, and Alinda groups. Many of these bodies cross the orbits of Mars or Earth, and some are potentially hazardous due to impact risk. Their meanings in horoscopes are diverse, precise, and highly relevant to natal, progressed, mundane, electional and especially forensic astrology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Inner Main Belt Asteroids and NEAs were named after figures from Greek, Celtic, Mayan and other mythologies, often adding an extra dimension to their meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe asteroids covered here are characterized by relatively short orbital periods. Consequently, their transits are brief — often lasting only hours, and rarely extending beyond a single day. Yet their effects are frequently strikingly concrete, specific, and situational. In contrast to Trans-Neptunian Objects or many Centaurs, which tend to correlate with slow, deep-seated psychological processes or large-scale collective developments, fast-orbiting asteroids more often coincide with sharply defined moments, decisions, incidents, or technical details. In natal and event charts, however, this distinction largely dissolves. A horoscope is a static configuration: every body, regardless of orbital speed, functions as a fixed point of concentration. Under these conditions, even very small asteroids can operate with considerable intensity — provided the aspecting is exact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAMzzz Occult Bookstore Global","offers":[{"title":"ENG- English","offer_id":54588879831379,"sku":"9789492355775","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1092\/1302\/4595\/files\/077_innermainbelt.jpg?v=1786725075"}],"url":"https:\/\/global.vamzzz.com\/collections\/featured.oembed","provider":"VAMzzz Global Occult Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
