    Kailash Shiva Romania Iraq Interconnected Underground Tunnels

    The word Siva indicates auspiciousness.

    It is an indicative word.

    It refers to things that are complete(poorna) , auspicious .

    Siva worship in the south of Vindhya Mountains in India, preceded the Sanatana Dharma of the North.

    While only one mention of Siva is found in the Vedas, which are the most ancient literature available to us now,there are numerous references in Tamil, a language of India, which runs parallel to Sanskrit, in texts which are old by about 74,000 years.

    This is also not correct.

    There ia a site in Chennai, India, where an advanced civilization has been found , dating back to One Million Years!

    They quote the Vedas.

    The Vedas, in turn quote Tamil!

    It is difficult to find which precedes the other.

    Yet people ascribe  5000 BC as the date for the Rig Veda!

    Thiruvannamalai is  about three billion years old.

    Tirupati is  2100 million years old.

    Jwalapuaram, Kurnool,India is 74, 000 years old, and confirmed by Mount Tobas’ emissions.

    Atomic scientists are unable to find the composition of the idol of Lord Subrahmanya , Palani,Tamil Nadu, India.

    Evidence of Sanatana Dharma throughout the world is available .

    Highly advanced concepts in Science are found in the Vedas and they are validated by latest developments in Modern Science.

    So it comes to me as no surprise that there exists a maze of tunnel networks throughout the world.

    All of these have one thing in common.

    Mount Kailash!

    The Abode of Lord Siva was reported to contain a Huge Pyramid underneath and there were beings from another dimensions.

     

    Please check my posts for all the statements made here.

     

    Now I received information from a source in the US, who does not want to be identified( he is not an Indian) and from a reader of my blogs from France, about the existence of a maze of underground tunnels in the land of Dracula, Rumania.

    I am providing excerpts from the research papers of Mr.Peter Moon, at the close of the Post.

    There are Nazca Lines in Peru, resembling Shiva’s trishul.

    We have ancient Egyptians, Aborigines of Australia sporting Vaishnava marks .

    The trident dance of Shiva is being performed by the Australian Aborigines even to-day.

    All the cultures Incas, Sumerians, Incas, Mayans,Celtic, Mesopotamians trace their roots to Sanatana Dharma.

    The present findings talk about a mountain find dating back to 50,000 years, where location was found, which was blocked by mysterious energy.

    On entering this field , with great difficulty, it is found to have rooms with tables.

    While some of them analyse your DNA others dealt with the History of the Cosmos, scientific concepts, Aliens, medicine, most of which we are unable to decipher.

    One could see every thing in a Hologram in the room!

    I shall not comment on this and would urge you to read straight.

    Remember this Mountain relics have been dated only 50, 000 years whereas the Sanatana Dharma iss at least a Million years Old.

    The report.

    (I shall be writing more on this subject from the Sanatana Dharma angle and references)

    A Summary of the discovery in 2003
    There are 4 primary tunnels and further sub tunnels that lead to deeper and bigger places which you will have heard of but with different names.
    In these tunnels you will find rooms, huge rooms, with huge tables and stone chairs for people much, much taller than us.
    The projection room contains all our history and can be replayed visually.
    A table where you can perform holographic experiments with DNA, mix and match anything you wish and see what the results would be.
    These rooms were created 50,000 years ago and each is connected to each other, protected by a energy source which actives all as one is activated.
    The locations are; Near the Sphinx in Egypt, Baghdad, Mount Kailash in Tibet and the Bucegi Mountains in Romania. The inner tunnels lead to a secret World under the Gobi Plateau in Mongolia and to Antarctica.
    This connects to WWII and the German Tibet expedition, Romania being fast-tracked into NATO, hollow earth, the eye above the pyramid and more.
    Since the declassification of the new ground-penetrating radar 2 years ago, the most staggering data has emerged of complex and labyrinthine underground systems in various parts of the world. At places like Guatemala in the South Americas, tunnels have been mapped under the Mayan pyramid complex at Tikal, which extend a full 800 kilometers to the opposite side of the country. Investigators remarked, it was possible to understand how half a million Mayan Indians escaped the decimation of their culture.

    ‘

    In the summer of 2003, in an unexplored area of the Bucegi mountains, an epochal discovery was found that would completely change the destiny of mankind.

    Since the declassification of the new ground-penetrating radar 2 years ago, the most staggering data has emerged of complex and labyrinthine underground systems in various parts of the world. At places like Guatemala in the South Americas, tunnels have been mapped under the Mayan pyramid complex at Tikal, which extend a full 800 kilometres to the opposite side of the country. It was using this very technology that the most remarkable discovery was made.

    The discovery in Romania
    Colossal diplomatic pressures came from the United States of America and the Vatican on the Romanian Government to not disclose to the whole world this discovery and so it led to a temporary agreement between the Vatican, USA and Romania. The USA fast-tracked Romania into NATO [confirmed] and the Vatican gave the Romanian Government some very important documents relating to the countries past.

    A Pentagon geodetic satellite scan of the mountain revealed two major energetic blocks. The dams were made of artificial energy: the first was a wall that was blocking access to the tunnel. The second was huge, like a dome or hemisphere, at the opposite end of the tunnel, near the center of the mountain. The whole tunnel-hemisphere was in a plane parallel to the ground, and the dam is vertical hemispherical corresponding rocks on the ridge called “Babele”. In fact, the vertical slope ended at about 40 meters between Babele and the Sphinx of Bucegi (Sfinxul din Bucegi).

    The Pentagon team noted that hemispherical energy barrier has the same vibrational frequency and the same shape as one another very secret underground structure that they had discovered before, near Baghdad, Iraq. Shortly after this discovery, the Iraqi war broke out and after a few months Americans had access to the biggest secret in the area, which the Iraqis knew nothing about.

    They managed to drill past the first barrier but the second could not be bypassed. Anything that was thrown onto this barrier turned to dust and when soldiers got too close to the barrier they would collapse from a cardiac arrest. (How they got through is posted later in this thread) but once through they entered what was known as “the grand gallery”.

    The wall inside the Grand Gallery seemed synthetic but also felt like something organic was part of it. It had the color of oil, but the reflections were green and even blue. At 280 feet, the gallery suddenly turned to the right in a sharp angle. At a greater distance a blue light was noticed, that sparkle like a star. The blue light at the end of the gallery was just the reflection of the protective shield of energy.

    In the Iraqi underground 
    The U.S. adviser on national security issues was notified that the energetic shield from Iraq (in Baghdad) was suddenly activated, pulsating at a high frequency. In front of the shield also appeared a hologram of the planet, which sequentially and progressively depicted the European Continent, then south-east, then The Bucegi Mountains from Romania and then finally showing their location within the structure’s corridor. It was obvious that the two hemispherical energy shields were in a direct connection.

    Tables for giants
    The entrance hall contained a series of huge stone tables. None of the tables have a height less than two meters. On the table tops were cut in relief, with precision, different signs of an unknown writing, characters that resemble ancient cuneiform. The writing also contains more general symbols such as triangles and circles. Although the signs are not painted, they come out with a fluorescent light radiation in different colors from table to table.
    There are five tables on each side of the room. On some of them are different objects that appear to be technical tools. From many of them descending to the ground, are a lot of white, translucent wires which gather into rectangular boxes of shiny, silver material. The boxes are placed directly onto the ground. The cables are extremely flexible and lightweight and light pulses can be seen circulating along their length.

    When approaching any of the tables, a holographic projection activates showing aspects of a particular scientific field. The three dimensional images are perfect and very large, with a height of almost two and a half meters. The projections run by themselves but at the same time they are interactive and depend on one who interacts with the tables by touching their surfaces.

    Genetic combinations 
    At one table the subject is biology and the projected image are of plants and animals, some completely unknown. Tapping one of the squares, the hologram shows the structure of the human body. It develops holographic images of various areas of the body that always rotate. Other squares show projections of other beings, on other celestial bodies. By tapping simultaneously two different squares, a complex scientific analysis shows the DNA of both beings and possibilities of compatibility between them. On the side vertical lines appear, containing explanations (but in the strange writing seen everywhere) and at the end, the most probable mutant form appears as a result after combining the two genetic information.

    True Giants
    A confirmation of the giants in Romania can be found in a newspaper called “The Newspaper”: “The team at the newspaper is accompanied by researcher Vasile Rudan, who noted that the” stories “of people from the village Bozioru about giants who lived on those lands have concrete evidence: a cemetery with skeletons of giants. It was discovered by chance over 20 years ago, when it was decided in a village called Scaieni to plant apple trees. Digging on a hill, the villagers discovered huge skeletons, measuring about 2.40 meters, even more. “Everywhere are the tombs of the giants. We were making holes, to plant saplings, when we found a human head, as big as a pumpkin. Neither one of us had ever seen anything like that. We were all amazed. Sapping further and we found some bones of the feet, as big as the wine stakes. The dead one must have been very big.”

    The library of the Universe.
    On each side of the room are arranged five huge tables each one hosting screenings of physics, cosmology, astronomy, architecture, technology, an area that features several races of intelligent beings – who were apparently not all human – and a field of religion . Seems like a huge library of the universe. In the middle of the room is a podium that is installed in a device, possible an energy thought amplifier.

    The true history of the planet
    In the middle of the square is a huge dome which projects a hologram of moving parts. It contains the main aspects of the very distant past of humanity, from its very beginning. Darwin’s evolutionary theory is therefore completely false. The true origin of man is depicted in a condensed holographic form. After these lessons of truth, we can say that 90% of the official history of mankind is false and counterfeit. Unbelievable, but what is considered to have really happened is mostly lies, while the myths and legends of the people are almost all true.

    This strange inversion caused many problems and conflicts between people in our past. Also, most archaeological theories are false. Some “fantasies” of scholars such as the dinosaur extinction theory 65 million years ago or considering old continents of Lemuria and Atlantis as a myth are now completely shattered by the holographic projection that shows clearly how things have happened in reality. From time to time, the hologram kept the event’s image but in the background was projected the sky map containing the marked position of all major stars and constellations of that exact time. Because of this, the exact dating of the events shown in the presentation was possible.

    Although the time period covered by the projections is very large (several hundred thousand years), and the precession cycle of the Earth is 25,920 years, by observing the number of “Plato years” (the 25,920-year cycle) the exact dating of the events was possible. The Bucegi Mountains were formed 50-55 thousand years ago.

    Shocking Revelations
    The author acknowledges that he actually saw what really happened at the Great Flood and where the germs of human civilization occurred, but he doesn’t have the permission to reveal the reality because this involves too shocking realities for the mentality, ideas and knowledge of the contemporary man.

    In a disturbing display of images the existence of Jesus and his crucifixion on the cross is also shown. The projections reveal many of those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus on the hill who were at that time, but had come there from other historical periods. Those humans did not differ in clothing by the jewish people present at the time of the crucifixion, however, they had different facial features and that’s why they were hiding their faces in the clothing folds the best they could. The hologram also shows sequences of the spiritual lives and missions of other exceptional characters from the very distant past of mankind, of which we don’t know anything now. In those times, the social and population distribution were completely different from what is know today, so the archaeologists and anthropologists should review their concepts from scratch.

    The three mysterious tunnels
    The tunnels spread over thousands of kilometers in three different areas of the planet.

    The left one leads somewhere in Egypt, into a secret and yet undiscovered ensemble, which is buried under the sand. The right tunnel reaches a similar, but smaller structure, in the “Tibet Plateau”. In this second tunnel, are also found three secondary ramifications. One leads to a basement area of Buzau (Romanian city), near the Carpathians bend. Another leads to the underground structure of Iraq, near Baghdad (the one we spoke of earlier). The final ramification leads underneath the Gobi Plateau in Mongolia.

    A secret world
    The third tunnel, located centrally between the other two, is the subject of a secret world of which the U.S. wanted a very strong guarantee it would not be revealed. Down the central tunnel inside the planet’s crust and may provide an answer to the origin of structure inside the mountain and those who built it.
    Intense preparations begun for expeditions on all 3 tunnels, as following:
    -the first one to Egypt, second one to Tibet, and the final one to Earth’s core.

    In 2009, a local television “Antena 1” briefly presented these events. After the show they’ve received an anonymous phone threat.
    This is the call translated:

    The reporter from Antena 1 answers the phone:
    Reporter: Hello, good day!
    Anonymous caller: We’re sending you a warning: be very careful! Stop talking about the Bucegi (Mountains)!
    R: Who are you?
    A: This information must remain at the level of some structures and must not be made public! You’ve entered a dangerous game! You are young, you have families…there are enough subjects in this country to speak about!
    R: Mister, who are you?
    A: Don’t wish to know us…to be yourself interviewed by us! That’s all I’ve had to say!”

    Shiva Sthuthi by Ravana.

     

    Tunnels in Iraq.

    ‘The mysterious tunnels of Iraq are rumoured to stretch for miles, linking palaces, military strongholds and safe houses concealing leaders, treasure or weapons of mass destruction.

    For US troops strapping on night goggles and venturing underground, the tunnels are a new kind of battlefield in this war. No maps, no light and no handle – yet – on what they might find.

    “For the type of regime we’re dealing with, the tunnels represent an ideal spot to conceal weapons and serve as a hideout and in some cases an escape route,” said Lt. Mark Kitchens, a spokesman for US Central Command.

    Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is said to have built so many tunnels that just about anything could be underground – troops, weapons or even the Iraqi president himself.

    “There were all sorts of tips and rumours, ‘dig under this and you will find that,’” said Ewen Buchanan, a spokesman for the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission.

    Arms inspectors found tunnels

    Buchanan said UN arms inspectors in 1998 found a combination of bunkers and tunnels below some of Saddam’s palaces, but not the sophisticated network that had been speculated about.

    “But that doesn’t say that they don’t exist,” he said.

    The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported yesterday that US Marines have secured a city south of Baghdad – Al-Tuwaitha – where a nexus of underground labs, warehouses and bomb-proof offices extends beneath a site owned by the Iraqi Atomic Energy Agency.

    It said 14 buildings betray high levels of radiation and nuclear residue. Weapons inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency recently toured the city, “but did they go underground?” the paper quoted David Albright, a former IAEA inspector in Iraq from 1992 to 1997 as saying.

    Tunnels under airport

    On Tuesday, at the airport outside Baghdad, 150 soldiers of the 101st Airborne’s 3rd Battalion, 3rd Brigade searched a 12-room complex inside a cave with white marble floors, 10-foot (3-meter) ceilings and fluorescent lighting. They found cigarette butts, tea bags and other signs of recent abandonment.

  • Dharbha Kusa Grass Blocks X Ray Increases Phonetic Vibrations Research

    Darbha, kusha grass is used by the Hindus while performing religious duties.

    This is normally worn, after making a ring of it, in the Right Ring Finger.

    Dharbha is  to be kept above the left ear lobe, if one is to make use of the toilet, while performing the religious duties.

    Dharbha is not to be dropped on the ground in its form as a ring; it has to be restored to its earlier state as grass before dropping to the ground.

    Darbha is also called Pavithra, Holy.

    In Ayurveda, Darbha grass is also used as a medicine to treat dysentery and menorrhagia, and as used as a diuretic (to promote free flow of urine).

    Darbha worn in the Right ring finger .jpg Darbha worn in the Right Ring Finger by Hindus for religious ceremonies.

    Dharpa,Kusha Grass is worn on the Right Ring Finger by Hindus for Religious Functions,
    Since Vedic age, Darbha grass is treated as sacred plant and according to early Buddhist accounts, it was the material used by Buddha for his meditation seat when he attained enlightenment under Bodhi tree.
    This grass was mentioned in the Rig Veda for use in sacred ceremonies and also to prepare a seat for priests and the gods.

    Scientific findings On Dharpa. Kusha Grass.jpg Scientific findings On Dharpa. Kusha Grass.

    Darbha grass ringIn recent medical research, Darbha or Kusha grass has been observed to block X-Ray radiation.
    Darbha is used by hindus as mat, ring on right hand ring finger while chanting vedic mantras, performing homam and all religious rituals.
    For ceremonies related to death only Single leafed Darbha is used; for Auspicious and daily routine a ring made of two leaves is used; for inauspicious but not death related functions, (like Amavasya Tharpanam, Pithru Pooja etc) a three leaf Dharbham ring (Pavitram) is used and for the prayers in a temple, a Four-leaf Darbha ring is used.
    Darbha has the highest value in conducting the phonetic vibrations through its tip.
    Priests in India dip this tip in water and sprinkle allover the house or temple to purify the place.
    During Fire-ritual (Homa), darbha is placed on all four sides of fire to help block all negative radiations.
    During eclipses, darbha are placed on vessels containing water and food, so that negative effect of rays from eclipse does not spoil them.

    Darbha is not cultivated everywhere but it grows naturally in selective places and is available in northeast and west tropical, and northern Africa ; and countries in the Middle East, and temperate and tropical Asia

    For religious purposes, it is not cut or plucked on everyday, but only on Krishna Paksha Padyami (Next day after FullMoon day).

    ‘

    Traditional tropical grass, Darbha, has been identified as an eco-friendly food preservative.

    This finding was evolved in a research study undertaken jointly by the Centre for Nanotechnology and Advanced Biomaterials (CeNTAB) and the Centre for Advanced Research in Indian System of Medicine (CARISM) of the SASTRA University, Thanjavur, under the supervision of Dr. P. Meera and Dr. P. Brindha respectively.

    Darbha (Desmotachya bipinnata) is a tropical grass considered a sacred material in Vedic scriptures and is said to purify the offerings during such rituals. At the time of eclipse, people place that grass in food items that could ferment and once the eclipse ends the grass is removed.

    A systematic research was conducted by the SASTRA University researchers, in which cow’s curd was chosen as a food item that could ferment easily. Five other tropical grass species, including lemon grass, Bermuda grass, and bamboo were chosen for comparison based on different levels of antibiotic properties and hydro phobicity.

    Electron microscopy of different grasses revealed stunning nano-patterns and hierarchical nano or micro structures in darbha grass while they were absent in other grasses.

    On studying the effect of various grasses on the microbial community of the curd, darbha grass alone was found to attract enormous number of bacteria into the hierarchical surface features.

    These are the bacteria responsible for fermentation of cow’s curd.

    During eclipse, the wavelength and intensity of light radiations available on the earth’s surface is altered. Especially, the blue and ultraviolet radiations, which are known for their natural disinfecting property, are not available in sufficient quantities during eclipse.

    This leads to uncontrolled growth of micro-organisms in food products during eclipse and the food products are not suitable for consumption. Darbha was thus used as a natural disinfectant on specific occasions, say researchers at SASTRA University.

    Further, the scientists say that darbha could be used as a natural food preservative in place of harmful chemical preservatives and the artificial surfaces mimicking the hierarchical nano patterns on the surface of darbha grass could find applications in health care where sterile conditions were required.The ring made of kusha grass is worn on the ring finger of the person performing the ritualistic ceremonies. These rings are known as pavitra (sacred) rings for the puja orPavitri. The head priest or the the Yajmaan (person for whom puja is done) wears this darbha ring, representing the sacred knot or hair-curl (Skt. shrivatsa) of Vishnu.

    The sanctity of dharba or kusha,is as old as the Indian gods.Puranas tell how Vishnu assumed the form of the Cosmic Tortoise (Skt.kurma) whose shell served to support Mandara,the mountain that served as a dasher in the churning of the sea of milk. As the mountain rotated,several hairs were rubbed from the tortoise’s back.With time,they washed ashore and became Kusha.

    Later, when the amrita (nectar) was obtained and distributed among the gods,some drops fell on the grass which further sanctified it imbuing it with healing properties.Therefore,in the tradition hair-cutting of Vaishnava toddlers, the hair is touched with kusha before it is cut. It was used as a ritual seat as far back as the Vedas,and the Bhagavad Gita (ch.6) stipulates that,covered with a skin and a cloth,it is the appropriate seat for meditation.Therefore,it was one of the first offerings made to the Buddha.

    For religious purposes, it is not cut or plucked on everyday, but only on Krishna Paksha Padyami (next day after FullMoon day).

    In Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says in Chapter 6 entitled Dhayan Yoga:

    Bg 6.11 To practice Dhyan yoga, one should go to a secluded place and should lay Kusha grass on the gorund and then cover it with a deerskin and a soft cloth……

    Science says about Darbha:
    In recent medical research, Darbha or Kusha grass has been observed to block X-Ray radiation. It is scientifically known as Panic grass and of genus borage species. It can grow up to 2 feet and it appears pointed at the top.

    Significance of Darbha:
    Kusha grass is meant to have Lord Vishnu’s potency. It is believed that this grass has immense purifying properties. It is worshipped by Vaishnavas on the special day in Bhadrapada month (August – September) called Darbhashtami.

    The significance of Darbha grass is also found in Buddhist culture. It is believed that Sakyamuni Buddha sat on a Darbha mat to meditate and got enlightened under the Bodhi tree. The capital city of Malla kingdom of Buddhist is named Kushinagara, just to honor Kusha grass. It was in this city Lord Buddha was cremated.

  • Vimana Aircraft Types From Rig Veda Purana Kalidasa

    I have written on the types of Vimanas referred to in ancient Texts.

    Aircarft Drawing done in 1923 Based on Ancient Vimana Texts of India.jpg Aircraft Drawing done in 1923 Based on Ancient Vimana Texts of India.

    Rig Veda

    I have also written on the Aircraft designed and flown by Talpade in India, based on these ancient texts of Bharadwaja.

    Rotating Vimanas,

    Skyscrapers,

    Private Aircrafts

    Robots and space technology

    I have posted articles on these as well.

    here I present some texts and more references from the Rig Veda,Agastya Samhita.Artha Sastra and Kalidasa’s Vikramorvasiyaa.

     The Rig-Veda, the oldest document of the human race includes references to the following modes of transportation: Jalayan a vehicle designed to operate in air and water (Rig Veda 6.58.3).

    Kaara- Kaara- Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in water.

    (Rig Veda 9.14.1)

    Tritala- Tritala- Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories.

    (Rig Veda 3.14.1);

    Trichakra Ratha, a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in the air.

    (Rig Veda 4.36.1)

    Vaayu Ratha, a gas or wind-powered chariot. 

    (Rig Veda 5.41.6)

    Vidyut Ratha a vehicle that operates on electromagnetic power.

    (Rig Veda 3.14.1).

                  The “Agastya Samhita” gives us Agastya’s descriptions of two types of aeroplanes. The first is a “chchatra” (umbrella or balloon) to be filled with hydrogen. The process of extracting hydrogen from water is described in elaborate detail and the use of electricity in achieving this is clearly stated. This was stated to be a primitive type of plane, useful only for escaping from a fort when the enemy had set fire to the jungle all around. Hence the name “Agniyana”. The second type of aircraft mentioned is somewhat on the lines of the parachute. It could be opened and shut by operating chords. This aircraft has been described as “vimanadvigunam” i.e. of a lower order than the regular aeroplane. Bhardwaja’s “Vaimanika Shastra” not only gives information on his methods of aeroplane construction but also provides a bibliography. He had consulted six treatises by six different authors previous to him. After him too there have been four commentaries on his work. Planes which will not break (abhedya), or catch fire (adaahya) and which cannot be cut (achchedya) have also been described. Along with the treatise there are diagrams of three types of aeroplanes , “Sundara”, “Shukana” and “Rukma”. It appears that aerial warfare was also not unknown, for the treatise gives the technique of “shatru vimana kampana kriya” and “shatru vimana nashana kriya” i.e. shaking and destroying enemy aircraft, as well as photographing enemy planes, rendering their occupants unconscious and making one’s own plane invisible.
     
             The Arthasastra of Kautilya (c. 3rd century B.C.) mentions amongst various tradesmen and technocrats the Saubhikas as ‘pilots conducting vehicles in the sky’. Saubha was the name of the aerial flying city of King Harishchandra and the form ‘Saubika’ means ‘one who flies or knows the art of flying an aerial city’. Kautilya uses another significant word ‘Akasa Yodhinah’, which has been translated as ‘persons who are trained to fight from the sky.’ The existence of aerial chariots, in whatever form it might be, was so well-known that it found a place among the royal edicts of the Emperor Asoka which were executed during his reign from 256 B.C. – 237 B. C. Only a few years ago, the Chinese discovered some Sanskrit documents in Lhasa, Tibet and sent them to the University of Chandrigarh to be translated. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the university said that the documents contain directions for building interstellar spaceships! The Chinese announced that they were including certain parts of the documents for study in their space program(* I had written on the ancient Sanskrit Texts found in Lhasa, Tibet)..’

    The Rig Veda, the oldest document of the human race includes references to the following modes of transportation:

    • Jalayan – a vehicle designed to operate in air and water. (Rig Veda 6.58.3)
    • Kaara- Kaara- Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in water. (Rig Veda 9.14.1)
    • Tritala- Tritala- Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories. (Rig Veda 3.14.1)
    • Trichakra Ratha – Trichakra Ratha – Trichakra Ratha – a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in the air. (Rig Veda 4.36.1)
    • Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- a gas or wind-powered chariot. (Rig Veda 5.41.6)
    • Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- a vehicle that operates on power. (Rig Veda 3.14.1).

    Kathasaritsagara refers to highly talented woodworkers called Rajyadhara and Pranadhara. The former was so skilled in mechanical contrivances that he could make ocean crossing chariots. And the latter manufactured a flying chariot to carry a thousand passengers in the air. These chariots were stated to be as fast as thought itself. (source: India Through The Ages: History, Art Culture and Religion – By G. Kuppuram p. 532-533).


    According to Dr. Vyacheslav Zaitsev:

    “the holy Indian Sages, the Ramayana for one, tell of “Two storied celestial chariots with many windows” “They roar like off into the sky until they appear like comets.” The Mahabharata and various Sanskrit books describe at length these chariots, “powered by winged lighting…it was a ship that soared into the air, flying to both the solar and stellar regions.”
    (source: Temples and Spaceships – By V. Zaitsev – Sputnik, Jan. 1967 and Hinduism in the Space Age – By E. Vedavyas p. 31-32

    The mention of airplanes is found many times throughout Vedic literature, including the following verse from the Yajur-Veda describing the movement of such machines:

    “O royal skilled engineer, construct sea-boats, propelled on water by our experts, and airplanes, moving and flying upward, after the clouds that reside in the mid-region, that fly as the boats move on the sea, that fly high over and below the watery clouds. Be thou, thereby, prosperous in this world created by the Omnipresent God, and flier in both air and lightening. (Yajur Veda, 10.19)

    The Rig Veda, the oldest document of the human race includes references to the following modes of transportation:

    • Jalayan – a vehicle designed to operate in air and water. (Rig Veda 6.58.3)
    • Kaara- Kaara- Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in water. (Rig Veda 9.14.1)
    • Tritala- Tritala- Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories. (Rig Veda 3.14.1)
    • Trichakra Ratha – Trichakra Ratha – Trichakra Ratha – a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in the air. (Rig Veda 4.36.1)
    • Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- a gas or wind-powered chariot. (Rig Veda 5.41.6)
    • Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- a vehicle that operates on power. (Rig Veda 3.14.1).

    Kathasaritsagara refers to highly talented woodworkers called Rajyadhara and Pranadhara. The former was so skilled in mechanical contrivances that he could make ocean crossing chariots. And the latter manufactured a flying chariot to carry a thousand passengers in the air. These chariots were stated to be as fast as thought itself. (source: India Through The Ages: History, Art Culture and Religion – By G. Kuppuram p. 532-533).


    According to Dr. Vyacheslav Zaitsev:

    “the holy Indian Sages, the Ramayana for one, tell of “Two storied celestial chariots with many windows” “They roar like off into the sky until they appear like comets.” The Mahabharata and various Sanskrit books describe at length these chariots, “powered by winged lighting…it was a ship that soared into the air, flying to both the solar and stellar regions.”
    (source: Temples and Spaceships – By V. Zaitsev – Sputnik, Jan. 1967 and Hinduism in the Space Age – By E. Vedavyas p. 31-32

    Vimanas  in Ramayana.

    It was capable of accommodating all the vanaras besides Rama, Sita and Lakshman.

                 Again in the Vikramaurvaisya, we are told that king Puraravas rode in an aerial car to rescue Urvasi in pursuit of the Danava who was carrying her away. Similarly in the Uttararamacarita in the flight between Lava and Candraketu (Act VI) a number of aerial cars are mentioned as bearing celestial spectators. There is a statement in the Harsacarita of Yavanas being acquainted with aerial machines. The Tamil work Jivakacintamani refers to Jivaka flying through the air. Kathasaritsagara refers to highly talented woodworkers called Rajyadhara and Pranadhara. The former was so skilled in mechanical contrivances that he could make ocean crossing chariots. And the latter manufactured a flying chariot to carry a thousand passengers in the air. These chariots were stated to be as fast as thought itself.

    The Arthasastra of Kautilya (c. 3rd century B.C.) mentions amongst various tradesmen and technocrats the Saubhikas as ‘ pilots conducting vehicles in the sky’. Saubha was the name of the aerial flying city of King Harishchandra and the form ‘Saubika’ means ‘one who flies or knows the art of flying an aerial city.’ Kautilya uses another significant word ‘Akasa Yodhinah’, which has been translated as ‘persons who are trained to fight from the sky.’ The existence of aerial chariots, in whatever form it might be, was so well-known that it found a place among the royal edicts of the Emperor Asoka which were executed during his reign from 256 B.C. – 237 B. C. The Vaimanika Shastra (Hindi edn) refers to about 97 works and authorities of yore of which at least 20 works deal with the mechanism of aerial Flying Machine, but none of these works is now traceable. The Yuktikalpataru of Bhoja includes a reference to aerial cars in verses 48-50 and a manuscript of the work belonging to the Calcutta Sanskrit College dated at 1870 A.D.

    We are thus in possession of some manuscript material and from the above it appears that there were Vimanas or aircrafts in ancient India and they followed the route over the western sea i.e. Arabian Sea – Africa – Atlantic ocean – Latin America/Mexico, this being the shortest route.

    Some ships also might have followed this route, but most of the cargo ships, however, had to follow the longer route over the Pacific ocean via Indonesia – Polynesia – Latin America/Mexico because of the favorable trade winds and the equatorial currents which made the navigation easier.

    And if the ancient Indians could perhaps boast of some form of air travel the Nazca lines of Peru acquire an added significance. Not only the scriptural references of aircrafts and the routes of navigation, even some base landing sites might have possibly been found in the tangled outlines and figures in the Pampas of Nazca. Maria Reiche, a German scientist, through her life-long dedication studied these seriously, preserved them from destruction and publicized them before the world. The huge figures which are visible from the sky might have helped the ancient pilots (Sauvikas) of India to land in Peru.

    (For more information please refer to Chapters on Pacific, Suvarnabhumi, War in Ancient India, Hindu Scriptures and Seafaring in Ancient India).


    The Nazca lines of Peru seem to be landing signal for the air chariots of pre-Colombian times. There are several references in Sanskrit texts about the Indian Vimanas carrying kings and dignitaries to pataldesa.Ramayana describes Ravana’s flight from Varunalaya (Borneo) to Rasatala (Peru).


    Prof. D. K. Kanjilal analyses the legend of the Matsya Purana (chapters 129) in his Vimana in Ancient India in the following words:

    “Behind the veil of legend and scientific truth comes out that three flying-cities were made for and were used by the demons. Of these three, one was in a stationary orbit in the sky, another moving in the sky and one was permanently stationed in the ground. These were docked like modern spaceships in the sky at particular time and at fixed latitude/longitudes. Siva’s arrow obviously referred to ablazing missile fired from a flying satellite specially built for the purpose and the brunt spaceship fell in the Indian ocean. Vestiges of onetime prosperous civilization destroyed in battles only flicker through these legends.


    These references sharply point to the use of some kind of aerial flying vehicles known as Vimana apart from mechanical contrivances, armored cars, various types of missiles etc. These references sounding queer and unscientific even in recent past have been approximated to the present-day technology through the innovation of highly sophisticated weapons and of the space-satellites likeMariner, Vostok, Soyuz, Aryabhatta etc. These facts require more than a passing notice.


    The flying vehicles were firstly designated Ratha (vehicle or carriage) in the Rig Veda. Vimanas possessed a very high speed. This aerial vehicle was triangular, large, 3-tier uneven and was piloted by at least three persons (tribandhura). It has three wheels which were probably withdrawn during aerial flight. In one verse the chariot is said to have three columns. It was generally made of anyone of the three kinds of metals, gold, silver or iron but the metal which usually went into its make up according to the Vedic text was gold. It looked beautiful. Long nails or rivets were attached to it. The chariot had three types of fuel. Possessing very fast speed, it moved like a bird in the sky soaring towards the Sun and the Moon and used to come down to the earth with great sound”.

    (source: The Indians And The Amerindians

    By Dr. S. Chakravarti p.141-146).
    In addition to the Vaimanika Shashtra, the Samarangana Sutradhara and the Yuktikalpataru of Bhoja, there are about 150 verses of the Rig Veda, Yajurveda and the Atharvaveda, a lot of literary passages belonging to the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas, the Bhagavata and the Raghuvamsa and some references of the darma Abhijnanasakuntalam of Kalidasa, the Abimaraka of Bhasa, the Jatalas.

    The Avadhana Literature and of the Kathasaritsagara and a number of literary works contained either references to graphic aerial flight or to the mechanism of the aerial vehicles used in old ages in India. In the Ramayana both the words “Vimana” and “Ratha” have been used:

    • Kamagam ratham asthaya…nadanadipatim (3. 35. 6-7). He boarded the aerial vehicle with Khara which was decorated with jewels and the faces of demons and it moved with noise resembling the sonorous clouds.
    • You may go to your desired place after enticing Sita and I shall bring her to Lanka by air.. So Ravana and Maricha boarded the aerial vehicle resembling a palace (Vimana) from that hermitage.
    • Then the demons brought the Puspaka aerial vehicle and placed Sita on it by bringing her from the Ashoka forest and she was made to see the battle field with Trijata.
    • This aerial vehicle marked with Swan soared into the sky with loud noise.

    Reference to Flying vehicles as Vimana occur in the Mahabharata in about 41 places of which the air attack of Salva on Krisna‘s capital Dwaraka deserve special notice. The Asura king Salva had an aerial flying machine known as Saubha-pura in which he came to attack Dwaraka.


    He began to shower hails, and missiles from the sky. As Krishna chased him he went near the sea and landed in the high seas. Then he came back again with his flying machine and gave a tough fight to Krishna staying about one Krosa (about 4,000 ft) above the ground level. Krishna at last threw a powerful ground-to-air weapon which hit the plane in the middle and broke it into pieces. The damaged flying machine fell into the seas. This vivid description of the air attack occurs in the Bhagavata also. We also come across the following references to missiles, armaments, sophisticated war-machines and mechanical contrivances as well as to Vimanas in Mahabharata.

    The inscriptions of emperor Asoka are by far the most authentic records in support of the existence of aerial flying vehicles which are mentioned as Vimana. The existence of aerial chariots in whatever form it might be was so well-known that it found a place among the royal edicts of the Emperor Asoka which were executed during his reign from 256 B.C.- 237 B.C. Vatsyana in his Kama Sutra referred to mechanical contrivances in their origin among 64 ancillary Sciences.

    The Arthasastra of Kautilya (3rd century B.C), a treatise mainly dealing with political economy but containing information on kindred scientific topics refers to a class of mechanic known as Saubhika…

    8. Sundara Vimana: Vertical Section

    A discussion regarding the existence of and the use of flying vehicles in ancient India naturally waits for an advanced state of knowledge in cosmogony. A close and careful study of the Vedic literature shows that it was not just a collection of primeval poetry but a varied literature of a powerful and dynamic society where the people had the knowledge of cloud and vapor, of the season and of the monsoon, of the different types of wind, of the expanse of the sky, of the strength of the wind blowing at high speed and so on.

    Three types of cloud have been referred to in the Rig Veda (1.101.4). which also states that smoke and vapor surcharged with water turn into cloud. Formation of vapor through heat and the subsequent formation of cloud has been referred to in the Vedas. Indian meteorological concepts thus date back to the age of the Rig Veda.

  • Moon Dial Konark Calculate To A Minute Sun Dial

    Many of us are aware of Sun Dials.

    Sun Dial, Konark,India.png Sun Dial, Konark,India.

    Many would have visited the one at New Delhi.

    But how does one calculate Time with the help of a Sun Dial?

    Take the famous Sun Dial at Konark, Odisha, India.

    There are eight spokes in the Wheel.

    ‘The sundial has 8 major spokes that divide 24 hours into 8 equal parts, which means that the time between two major spokes is 3 hours. There are 8 minor spokes as well. Each minor spoke runs exactly in the middle of 2 major spokes. This means that the minor spoke divides the 3 hours in half, so the time between a major spoke and a minor spoke is an hour and half or 90 minutes.

    Now, at the edge of the wheel, you can see a lot of beads. If you observe carefully, you can see that there are 30 beads between a minor and a major spoke. So, the 90 minutes are further divided by 30 beads. This means that each bead carries a value of 3 minutes. The beads are large enough, so you can also see if the shadow falls in the center of the bead or on one of the ends of the bead. This way we can further calculate time accurately to the minute.

    The sundial shows time in an anti-clockwise fashion. At the top, the major spoke stands for midnight and this spoke stands for 3 A.M and this one for 6 A.M and so on. When I place a finger or a pen at the tail of the animal in the axle, the shadow will fall on the edge of the wheel. Now, I simply note the bead where the shadow falls. Using the math we did before, I can easily tell the current time precisely down to the minute. Imagine how much time and coordination would have happened between the astronomers, engineers and sculptors to create something like this 750 years ago.

    Now if you are observing closely, you would have 2 questions in your mind right now. The first question would be, what happens when the sun moves from east to west. Since the wheel is carved on a wall, the sun would not shine on this wheel at all. How can we tell time in the afternoons? Now, the Konark temple has another wheel or sundial, located on the west side of the temple as well. You can just use the other sundial that will work perfectly from afternoon, until sunset.

    This is the second and the most interesting question. How do you tell time after sunset? There would be no sun, and hence no shadows from sunset till the next morning’s sunrise. After all, we have 2 sundials in the temple which work only when the sun shines. To this question, I want to point out that the Konark temple does not have just 2 wheels like this. The temple has a total of 24 wheels, all accurately carved just like the sundials. Have you heard of the Moondial? Do you know that the moondials can work just like sun dials during night time? What if the other wheels in the temple could be used as moondials?

    Many people think that the other 22 wheels were carved for decorative or religious purposes and do not have an actual use. This is what people thought about the 2 sundials as well. Believe it or not, people thought that all the 24 wheels were just carved for beauty and as Hindu symbols. About 100 years ago, it became known that this was a sundial when an old yogi was seen calculating time secretly. Apparently selected people were using these wheels for generations and for 650 years no one else knew about it. They say that when they asked him about the purpose of the other 22 wheels, the yogi refused to talk and simply walked away.

    And our knowledge of just these 2 sundials themselves is actually very limited. You can see how there are multiple circles of beads. You can see carvings and markings all over these sundials, and we don’t the meaning of most of them. For example, this carving on a major spoke has exactly 60 beads. Notice how in some carving you can see leaves and flowers which may mean Spring or Summer. Notice how in some carvings you can see lemurs mating, which only happens during winter. So, these sundials could have even been used as an almanac for a variety of different things. Now you can understand how limited our knowledge is about the rest of the 22 wheels.

    Notice that there are clues on these wheels that people have overlooked for centuries. Notice how a woman wakes up and looks at a mirror in the morning. Notice how she is stretching, being tired and ready to go to sleep. And you can also see that she is engaging in sexual activity during night. For centuries, people have ignored these hints and thought that these were carvings of Hindu Goddesses.
    This is also a perfect example of how people think ancient unexplainable carvings are just for beauty or religious purposes. If ancient people spent a lot of time creating something, there is a very good chance that it was done for a valuable, scientific purpose.

    Moondials are time pieces similar to a sundial. The most basic moondial, which is identical to a sundial, is only accurate on the night of the full moon. Every night after it becomes an additional (on average)[note 1] 48 minutes slow, while every night preceding the full moon it is (again on average) 49 minutes fast, assuming there is even enough light to take a reading by. Thus, one week to either side of the full moon the moondial will read 5 hours and 36 minutes before or after the proper time.

    More advanced moondials can include charts showing the exact calculations to get the correct time, as well as dials designed with latitude and longitude in mind.

    Here is the story.

    Here is the long-awaited Ātreya Śikṣā. There are two versions, one is text only, the other is the critical edition with 141 footnotes.

    http://is1.mum.edu/vedicreserve/shiksha/atreya_shiksha.pdf

    Critical Edition: http://www.peterffreund.com/shiksha/atreya1_shiksha.pdf

    We were originally attracted to Ātreya Śikṣā because it was chosen by Dr. Tony Nader, author of the landmark work, Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and Vedic Literature, who correlated the structure and function of the main texts of Shiksha with the 36 pairs of autonomic ganglia on each side of the spine. The Ātreya Śikṣā was specifically correlated with the Mesentericum inferius, one of the autonomic ganglia not located along the spine, but found in the gut, located at the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery where it branches off from the aorta. This ganglion contains the sympathetic neurons innervating the descending and sigmoid colon. (See attached picture at the bottom of this email!)  But this correlation of Ātreya Śikṣā with a small bundle of nerve fibers in the abdominal cavity, did not prepare us for the grand synthesis of the knowledge of Sanskrit phonetics which Ātreya presents in this work. Starting with the alphabet which the beginning student learns, he lays out a course of Vedic study, leading to complete mastery of the science of pronunciation. Pronunciation is for the sake of perfect recitation of the Veda. Vedic recitation is a means of gaining perfection, Pāṭha mātreṇa siddhyati, “Through mere recitation, one gains perfection.” Letter-perfect recitation of the Veda–because the Veda is the blueprint of Natural Law at the basis of the whole creation, the Constitution of the Universe–leads to the complete awakening of intelligence in the individual, awareness rising to command the total potential of Natural Law, in the highest state of consciousness, Unity Consciousness, which Ātreya calls Para Brahman. The knowledge of phonetics is placed in the broader context of culturing enlightenment in the individual, unfolding the hidden latent potential within the individual. Towards this end, Ātreya incorporates all the main themes and threads of Sanskrit phonetics, to create a comprehensive vision that unites the science of phonetics with the age-old tradition of Vedic recitation, and the experience of higher states of consciousness in the individual.

The nerve ganglion around that branching point, the inferior mesenteric ganglion, is correlated with this Atreya Shiksha.

    The course of Vedic study begins with memorization of the Saṁhitā, and here the Taittirīya recension of Kṛiṣhṇa Yajur Veda is promoted as the first Veda to be learned by the student. After learning the Saṁhitā by heart through constant repetition, repeating it over and over with the teacher, like a gramophone record, the student begins a long and somewhat arduous journey of investigation into the detailed fabrics of the Saṁhitā text. The student starts this journey by learning the word by word recitation of the Vedic text. Whereas the words are put together in the Saṁhitā text, and there is mixing of sounds at the boundaries of words, called Sandhi, the Sandhi is resolved and the words are pulled apart in the Pada Pāṭha, or word by word recitation. Letters that are dropped or changed in Sandhi have to be restored in the Pada Pāṭha recitation, and there are many ambiguities which cannot be decided by inspection: Is the final n after long ā really a final n, or is it actually a final t which has been changed to n by Sandhi? If a long ā is followed by a voiced consonant at the start of the next word, was there originally a visarga (ḥ) which has been dropped by Sandhi, or was there just long ā? There is an entire class of texts, in Sanskrit phonetics, dealing with these issues, and serving as aids in the memorization of the Pada Pāṭha recitation. This group of texts includes the Ingya Ratnam which we have already visited, and they include also a group of texts called Sapta Lakṣaṇam. We will examine Sapta Lakṣaṇam and some of the other texts in this category in a future Ātreya Śikṣā mailing. Ātreya devotes one section to explaining the intricacies of the word by word recitation, particularly as regards the treatment of compound words.

    After mastering the Pada Pāṭha, the student is now ready to begin the Krama recitation of the Veda. In the Krama recitation, two words at a time from the Pada Pāṭha are combined together with Sandhi, and recited: The first and the second, the second and the third, and then the third and the fourth, so that each word is repeated twice, once together with the previous word and once together with the following word. Some details of this recitation are explained in the section on Krama in Ātreya Śikṣā, and there are also some rare Śikṣā texts on this topic which we are trying to obtain.

    The Saṁhitā and Krama recitations are called Prakṛiti recitations, because the original sequence of the Vedic text is maintained in these recitations. There are also more complex recitations of the words of the Veda, called Vikṛiti, and Ātreya devotes a section to explaining the first of these, called Jaṭā. In the Jaṭā recitation, each pair of words that are repeated in the Krama recitation, are now repeated three times, once forward in their normal sequence, then backward, in the reverse order, and then again forward in the normal sequence, ie.,1-2, 2-1, 1-2. There is a class of texts dealing with the Jaṭā recitation, and we will be visiting a half-dozen of these in a future Ātreya Śikṣā mailing. In addition to Jaṭā, there are seven other modes of Vikṛiti recitation, and these are discussed in another group of phonetic texts, one of which, Vyāla Śikṣā, we have already visited.

    After the study of the Vikṛiti recitations of the Vedic text, which take many years to master, there is yet another level of recitation which explores in excruciating detail all the fine points of Vedic phonology. This is the Varṇakrama recitation. Varṇakrama means literally, letter by letter, and there are five kinds of Varṇakrama recitations, each increasingly more complex: The added complexity is not through alteration of sequence, but through giving more and more details of the phonological characteristics of each letter in sequence(1), the associated accent(2), the length (Kāla) of the sound(3), demarcation of plosives by what are called aṅgas (limbs of each vowel)(4) until in the fifth kind of Varṇakrama, called Varṇasārabhūta Varṇakrama(5), eight different parameters are described for each vowel, eight for each consonant, and ten different parameters for each Vedic accent, including the jāti (caste), and devatā of each letter. The description of the Varṇakrama recitation begins with verse 46.2 and continues through verse 281, as Detlef Eichler has so kindly pointed out. Thus the study of Varṇakrama forms the bulk of the content of Ātreya Śikṣā, There is one other well-known text which deals exclusively with Varṇakrama (although Varṇakrama itself is not well known) and that is Pāri Śikṣā. An excellent version of Pāri Śikṣā with numbered verses and clearly marked sections is included in the Hamburg palm leaves where Ātreya Śikṣā is also found, and there it is called Pañchavarṇakrama Lakṣaṇam. We will go into detail about the Varṇakrama recitation as described in Ātreya Śikṣā in the light of the description of Varṇakrama in Pāri Śikṣā in a future Ātreya Śikṣā mailing. The Varṇakrama recitation demands perfection in the letter perfect preservation and recitation of the Vedic text. Its treatment completes the unfoldment of Sanskrit phonetics in Ātreya Śikṣā.

    Having completed the discussion of Varṇakrama, in the remaining verses, Ātreya describes the goal of Vedic study, the attainment of Brahman consciousness, and strongly emphasizes the importance of daily recitation of the Veda as taught by the guru.

    Atreya Shiksha has 14 chapters and 64 named sections in those chapters. The verse count is said to be 294, but we seem to have 295. The verses are numbered in both manuscripts although sparsely. The Tirupati manuscript was said to be 500 to 600 years old; the Hamburg manuscript is probably 150 to 200 years old. But differences between the Hamburg and the Tirupati manuscripts are very few: these are noted with footnotes. Only rarely was the reading in the Tirupati manuscript clearer or more sound. The Hamburg manuscript has one more verse than the Tirupati manuscript, but this verse seems to belong. The Hamburg manuscript has three lines in a different position than in the Tirupati manuscript. We have settled with the position given them by the Hamburg manuscript. Further differences are more subtle. Only readings that were clearly different, and not due to poor penmanship (or insect damage) have been noted.

    The chapters are noted with numbers in the Hamburg manuscript: The numbers are written on the left margin of the palm leaf, associated with the section title of the last section of the chapter. In the Tirupati manuscript, the end of the second chapter is marked with the word “dvaya.” This gives a hint that the chapter divisions are indeed authentic, and perhaps even original. But there is some lack of clarity as to where actually the chapter boundaries fall, since only sections are marked in the text, and only these little clues of numbers written after specific sections give indication of where the chapters start and end. The sections are occasionally noted with colophons; more frequently they are noted with a long horizontal line with a wave at the end, appearing at the end of a verse. Sometimes the section title will include the word “ādi” indicating that the section starts with the verse that begins with those words and that will establish the starting point of the section. Some sections are quite clear from their subject matter; while others are gauged more crudely by the position of the title notation in the margin. Since each line has about one and a quarter anustubh verses, there is some ambiguity for the starting point of some sections.

    There are surprisingly few shared verses in Ātreya Śikṣā. Shared verses have been a hallmark of authenticity in Śikṣā texts, and there are just enough to convince us that we have an authentic, original text. There are 32 shared lines in Ātreya Śikṣā, which is about 5% of the whole. There are 18 different Śikṣā texts which have at least one shared line with Ātreya Śikṣā. Top of the list is Pāri Śikṣā with 17 shared lines, then Āpiśali with 7, Śambhu with 5, Kauṇḍinya (Mysore) with 3, Veda Śikṣā, Yajñavalkya, Varṇaratnapradīpikā, Kālanirṇaya, Pāṇini, Śaunaka, Śaiśirīya Śikṣā and Svarāṣṭaka with 2 lines each, and Lomaśi, Sarvasaṁmata, KauhalIya, Cārāyaṇīya, Svara Śikṣā, and Vyāsa Śikṣā each with one shared line. Quite surprisingly, Ātreya Śikṣā is the first text that we have come across which has shared lines with Vyāsa Śikṣa. Although there is a paucity of shared verses, and many verses with the same content and vocabulary have been apparently purposely reworked by one or the other author so that they do not match, like a school-boy being careful to avoid plagiarism, still there are enough shared verses to give the sense of Ātreya belonging to the community of Śikṣākāra’s, the ancient writers of phonetic treatises. As discussed before, Pāri Śikṣā is especially close in content to the Ātreya Śikṣā, and the number of shared verses does not reveal the intimate connection between the two texts: There are many more verses, many of them cited in the footnotes, which exhibit great similarity between Ātreya and Pāri Śikṣā, and many of the chapter titles of the two works are the same. Most of Pāri Śikṣā is in Triṣṭubh meter, with 22 syllables per line, while most of Ātreya Śikṣā is in the more common Anuṣṭubh meter, with only 16 syllables per line. This of course makes it more difficult for one to borrow from the other, but in verse 106, Ātreya does just that, using one and a quarter lines to quote a Triṣṭubh line, apparently from Pāri Śikṣā, concluding with iti proktās te, “Thus they said in ancient times.” This is a hint which gives some measure of validation to the proposal of Detlef Eichler, that Ātreya has simply reworked the material of the earlier Pāri Śikṣā, adding only a few additional sections at the beginning and the end. But regardless of the antecedents, and there are such connections precisely because he does stand within the tradition of Vedic Science, nevertheless, Ātreya’s borrowing does not detract from his accomplishment: Ātreya achieves what no other Śikṣā writer has attempted, namely, he presents to the world a textbook of enlightenment through Vedic recitation.

    We are grateful to the Hamburg Staats-Universitaets Bibliothek (Library) for the preservation of this manuscript bundle and the extraordinarily clear photographs of the palm leafs. We would also like to thank Detlef Eichler for his many excellent suggestions and recommended changes of the typescript. And thanks again to all the Kickstarter Project supporters for your support and your patience. We now have the content needed to move ahead with the rewards promised as part of the Atreya Shiksha Project fundraising. And of course, the monthly updates will continue as we progress with the transcription of the 40 other texts in this manuscript bundle.

    Gratefully yours,

    • It may be noticed that the script in the Image is in Tamil (ancient)
    • Dr.Chandrasekhar had pointed it out rightly.

    I have written to Professor Peter Freund.

    The image that is in the article, showing Atreya Suktha,- the writing in the manuscript is Not Sanskrit.

    It is Tamil, an ancient language of India, which is very much alive and has an ancient History matching Sanskrit and in fact it runs parallel to Sanskrit and The Vedas ,Puranas and Ithihasas of Sanskrit quote Tamil and Tamil also quotes them.

    Surprising that how this has happened considering the nature of the Project.

    Kindly effect necessary changes

    This Manuscript in Tamil is an enormous find and would even alter Sanatana Dharma History.

    My gratitude for such an intersting article.

    I have cited this in my blog.
