  • PIN Comes Through Curved Bow Micro Drilling Krishnapuram

    The technology the ancient Indians have adopted to build temples makes one wonder whether they were more advanced or we are!I

    I am inclined to vote for the former.

    krishnapuram-temple
    Sculpture ,Krishnapuram,Tamil Nadu,India

    The archaeological evidence being unearthed about ancient ruins throughout the world clearly proves that the ancients were not primitive and less knowledgeable than we are.

    I have authentic information that our present rendering history of the world is distorted if not an out right lie.

    I shall be writing with evidence found from around the world that there was no Stone Age as described now at the periods suggested.

    I have written about the Temples of India , some of them over 5000 years old, which had used advanced modern technology and astronomy concepts.

    There is a temple at Krishnapuram, Tamil Nadu where astounding scuptures that

    are life size over five and a half feet,

    Nerves are seen in the human forms,

    All these sculptures were made from a single Granite stone,

    In one statue, a leg, extended into air is two and a half feet , it projects from the torso and this sculpture is also made of single stone.

    In the statue of Manmatha (God of Love) , a Bow of Sugar Cane, which is his weapon is found.

    The bow, with its curved structure stands about five feet tall.

    If one drops a Pin in the hole at the top of the bow, it comes out at the bottom!

    In the Statute of Rathi, consort of Manmatha, one can find her cheeks puffed up swallowing Thamboola!

    There are 42 such statutes in one hall alone.

    One of the pillars represents the story of the adventure of Bhimasena with Purushamrigam. To fulfill the ritual at an important yaga, Yudhishthira required the milk of Purushamrigam, a half-man, half-beast denizen of the forests, this creature is a devoted Shiva bhakta and Bhimasena achieved his purpose when it was in deep penance. But it’s highly developed mental faculties found out the desecration committed by Bhima and it gave an angry chase.

    Lord Krishna, without whom Pandavas would have been nothing, handed Bhima three stones, each of which was cast by him one after another. At each stone, a Shiva shrine sprang up and consequently Purushamrigam, being a sensitive Shiva bhakta, paused to offer worship to Lord Shiva and was consequently delayed in the pursuit of Bhima.

    In spite of these efforts, the Pandava prince was captured when, with one foot already out of the forest, he was about to reach civilization again. Bhima could not escape the powerful grip of Purushamrigam and they both entered into an argument of jurisdiction and Purushamrigam, oddly enough consented to an arbitration of the dispute by Yudhishthira.

    The latter took the responsibility for the whole act, granted the creature’s right to act as it pleased in the forest region, and offered half his body in lieu of that part of Bhima’s which was within the jungle when he was caught. Deeply touched by the devotion of Yudhishthira to Dharma, Purushamrigam freed Bhima and changed its cannibal.

     

    How to reach.

  • Micro Drilling Technology Less Than 3 mm Thanjavur Temple

    The wonders of ancient Indian architecture is awe inspiring.

    Temples built aligned to solstices,shadows falling on the Idols here there is no source for light to peep in,idols changing colors,holes drilled, in the ears of the idol’s ears, coming out through the other ear,temples built at slanted angles……..

    I have written on these and on the Thanjavur Big Temple built in 1010 AD with Granite where there was/is no mountain nearby.

    Tanjore Big Temple.image.jpg
    Thanjavur Big Temple

    I have written on the logistics involved in building it.

    I have written on the Micro Drilling Technology in Mahabalipuram,Tamil Nadu.

    If a Pallava King, Narasimhavarma could do it why not Rajaraja Chola, who built the Thanjavur Big Temple?

    I found that Micro Drilling Technology was used in the construction of Thanjavur Big Temple to carve out a hole less than 3 mm!

    “This is the Thanjavur Brahadeeswarar temple in India which was built between 1004 and 1009 A.D. So it was built over a 1000 years ago. Found some amazing drilling technology with precision holes less than 3 millimeters wide. These holes are so small that nobody has noticed them and has been a secret for 1000 years.

    These rocks look like mere decoration, but if you look closely, there are very small holes cut into them. I will put a small twig to show you how small the hole is. I tried to put my pen through the hole and it would not go through.

    Another fascinating thing about these holes is that it is not even straight drilling, but is done at an angle. I put the twig on top and it comes out almost at a right angle.

    The temple walls are completely made of granite, one of the hardest materials on earth. In modern days, we use diamond tipped tools to make these kind of holes. How did the people carve such minute holes on these granite rocks a thousand years ago?

    This technology is older than other ancient cultures like Mayas and Incas. The hole is also much smaller than any other ancient drills I have seen. It is also interesting to think about What were these holes used for? Whatever went inside must have been very thin and flexible because of the size and angle. Why would they need such minute holes anyway?

  • Micro-drilling Technology Ancient India Mahabalipuram

    A careful examination of the sculptures in Indian Temples and the Monuments built by Indian Kings reveal more about Indian way of Life and their scientific advancements.

    One may also learn about the instruments they had used in executing these marvels of Architecture.

    The 180 tons of single Granite Kalasam atop the Thanjavur Brahadeeswra Temple,

    How did the people find such a single piece in a terrain devoid of Mountains?

    How did they transport it, considering the fact that they had only carts and Horses?

    And how did they move that single piece to the top of the Temple Tower?

    Please read my post on Thanjavur Temple, how it was built?

    Minute drilling on Granite, Mahabalipuram.

    We also find that there are astronomically aligned temples, structures where Sun/Moon light falls on a specific place at a specific time on a specific day.

    Read my post on Vedic instruments.

    Now in many a temple we find minute holes in the Idols and structures.

    In Suchindram,Tamil Nadu, one would find that if one were to insert a long piece of thin iron rod in one year of the Idol of Hanuman, it comes out from the other side!

    In Many Shiva temples one would find a small hole drilled behind the Idol in the sanctum, through which sir blows.

    One can see this, among many  temples, in Kalahasthi, Earth Element temple of Lord Shiva.

    Now in Mahbalipuram, Tamil Nadu,one can see the Micro drilling technology at work.

    Perfect circle has been made.

    Minute holes are found in hard Granite.

    This is not possible without advanced drilling technology which came to the world, according to the west very recently.

    Watch this video.

    Text.

    With a diameter of 8 feet, you can see how perfect it looks. The circumference is a perfect circle. And the hole is 5 feet deep. Academics think that this was carved with chisels and hammers. Think about this, this drill was done at least 1300 years ago, when the value of PI was not even invented. According to conventional history, People did not use any complex tools. But how can a perfect circle that is 8 feet wide be carved on a rock. If they had to use chisels and hammers, where would you even start the carving?

    If it was true, at one point, there must have been a dozen people sitting inside this chiseling away to make it a perfect circle. This would have taken years. Let me show you the walls, and you can see that there are no imperfections at all. It looks so smooth and looks like it is made with a modern machine.

    Now, here is a bigger question. Why would they need to create a perfect cylinder out of a rock? If you wanted a well for water, you can dig one with much less manual labor. If you wanted to create a water tank, you can just use pots or metal vessels. Why would you need to create something like this out of a granite rock?

    And what is the reason behind making it a perfect circle? I mean even water wells or tanks don’t need this much of effort. Was it used to fit something that was a perfect cylinder? I have asked several people here and nobody knows the reason behind this giant hole drilled out of this rock. I would really appreciate if you can tell me why such a thing would be needed.

  • Lost Ancient Cities Of India

    Sanatana Dharma, as has been proved was ancient.

    Madurai Meenakshiamman Temple.Image.jpg Madurai Meenakshiamman Temple. Image Credit. http://ayshamohamed93.blogspot.in/2014/11/my-madurai.html

    It was quite advanced in Arts, Literature,Science and Philosophy.

    The temple architecture bears testimony to the development of Science, especially Astronomy .

    Gangaikonda Cholapuram,.Image.jpg Gangaikonda Cholapuram,. Image credit.http://www.incredibleindiaphotogallery.com/2012/07/glimpse-to-the-glorious-past-gangaikonda-cholapuram/dsc_5102/

    The construction of these temples, with stones in an area where no stones or Mountains were available is a testimony to the fact that the ancient knew quarrying and more importantly transporting heavy materials like a single stone of nearly 180 tons to the roof of the temple which is 216 feet in the year 1000 AD.

    It is the Thanjavur Brhadeeswara Temple in Tamil Nadu.

    There are temples where the rays of the Sun touch the idol at the sanctum on a particular day of the year.

    1000 pillars Halls, Stone pillars producing the Seven Notes of the Carnatic Music, cave temples ..the list is endless.

    The cities were laid out in a systematic pattern in south India.

    In the Centre was a temple, with a Pond.

    The city was surrounded by square-shaped streets around the temple complex, all the streets leading to the Temple.

    This can be seen in many temples in many cities of Tamil Nadu, notable examples being  Madurai, Sri Rangam Srivilliputhur, Chidambaram.

    These cities had a resting place for Travelers at regular intervals on the highways, at every Kaatham, about 16 Kilometers.

    This may be seen on the road from Madurai to Srivilliputtur.

    Each city , at the outskirts , had a small water tank meant for animals.

    A stone column was erected for the animals to relieve their itching!

    Such a civilization should have had great cities.

    Many have sunk as in Lemuria where the Tamil Sangam 1  and 2 were held, in Then Madurai ( South Madurai and Kavatapuram)

    We had Indraprastha  now called Delhi,Pataliputra, now Patna

    I had a look at  some of the ancient cities of India which are to be discovered in full.

    If people can look around places where tanks had been located with the satellite imagery they would find more cities.

    Here is  a List, which, of course, is not exhaustive.

    I shall be writing on each of them in detail.

    The number 108 represents the distance from the earth to the sun and the moon in sun and moon diameters, respectively.
    The diameter of the Sun is  18 times the diameter of the earth.

     

    The distance between the human body and its inner Sun is also 108.

     

    Number 360,taken to represent an year is the number of bones in the Human body at the time of birth and they get fused into 206  when the Body grows (Satapatha Brahmana)

     

    The primary Vedic number is three, representing the tripartite division of the physical world into the earth, the atmosphere, and the

    sky and that of the person into the physical body, the pranas, and the inner sky.

    Hindu Temples represent the Meru Mountain and Bruhat Samhita lists 56 principles on this.
    The AngkorVat.
    The most impressive aspect of the temple representation is that it occurs both at the level
    of the part as well as the whole in a recursive fashion, mirroring the Vedic idea of the
    microcosmsymbolizes the macrocosm at variouslevels of expressions.
    This is done not only in the domain of numbers and directions, but also
    using anppropriate mythological themes and historical incidents.
    Speaking just of numbers, the various lengths and circumferences of units
    representing the motion of the moon may equal 27, 28, 29
    (nakshatras or days of the month), 354
    (days of the lunar year), or 360
    (tithis of the lunar year). Other lengths represent the solar
    year (360, 365, or 366) or larger
    time cycles. For example, the west-east axis represents
    the periods of the yugas. The width of the moat is 439.78 cubit;
