Maharishi Bharadwaj spoke of existence of airplanes 7,000 years ago
Maharishi mentioned that these airplanes could travel from one country to another
Mumbai: Ancient Indian scientists had mastered aviation to an extent that they had aeroplanes that could facilitate inter-planetary travel and the same has been mentioned in the Rigvedas, claimed Captain Anand Bodas, a retired principal of a pilot training facility, on the second day of the 102nd Indian Science Congress.
Captain Bodas was speaking at a symposium on Ancient Sciences through Sanskrit at the university sports complex at Kalina on Sunday. Referring to the Vedic texts to support his claim, Captain Bodas said that Maharishi Bharadwaj spoke of the existence of aeroplanes 7,000 years ago.
He said that Maharishi Bharadwaj mentioned that these aeroplanes could travel from one country to another and also from earth to other planets and back. “The Wright Brothers are given credit for developing flying technologies in 1904 but the same was existent in ancient India,” said Captain Bodas.
Elaborating on Maharishi’s work, Captain Bodas said that youngsters should read his book Vimana Samhita wherein he has mentioned about metal alloys that were used to make aeroplanes.
