Vimana - the BKWSU's future flying machines

Dadi Gulzar – 15.9.09 St. Petersburg, Russia (Welcome Programme)

The Golden Age

The vehicles there are vimans. Here, planes or helicopters have very complicated systems, whereas vimans there have only four buttons – they are very easy to use. I, myself have driven a viman in trance. There are no accidents. No cars either. And there is a variety of vimans – for the whole family, for one person or two. We are carefree emperors there. That’s why Baba tells us to become carefree emperors now. We only have to follow Shrimat for this – without worries and peacelessness. Just as here in the Confluence Age Baba has created a family where all are busy with different types of service and nobody is status-conscious, it will be the same there. There is a family system in the Golden Age. Though all have a different status, even maids and servants do not feel that they are servants.

There will be schools. We will study. The main subject will be art. Mathematics will not be difficult. The tasks will be easy. There will be no complicated formulas and no mistakes. Nobody fails in the study there. The very word “failure” does not exist. We go to school just to spend time happily and to meet our friends. There is no need to think too much, because everything is available.

Who do they think are going to make their 'atomic power flying machines' ... where are the factories and who is going to work in them ... where are their mines to make the metals and who is going to work in them ... where will the pollution from them go ... where are the computers used to fly them and who is going to make and programme them ... and so on and so on.

4 buttons !?! Aren't buttons a little bit old fashioned already? What are they for? We have touch screens, lasers control and voice command already.

OK, so the whole thing is nuts. Insane. Illogical. Fairy stories. Wake up folks.

... where are the factories and who is going to work in them ... where are their mines to make the metals and who is going to work in them ... where will the pollution from them go ... where are the computers used to fly them and who is going to make and programme them ...

Baba will take care of that.

The Sakuna Vimana, knock yourself out!!

Here is an earlier version ... and an interesting footnote to history that the Vimānika Shāstra ("Science of Aeronautics") is no more than an early 20th century book written another self-professed channeling medium. Apparently they used mercury vortex propulsion. Mercury is a high toxic substance that can easily kill. How could it exist in a heaven on earth Golden Age?

The Vaimānika Shāstra is an early 20th century Sanskrit text on aeronautics obtained by so-called "mental channeling", about construction of vimānas, the "chariots of the Gods", mythical self-moving aerial cars mentioned in the Sanskrit epics. The existence of the text was revealed in 1952 by G. R. Josyer, according to whom it is due to one Pandit Subbaraya Shastry, who dictated it in 1918-1923. A Hindi translation was published in 1959, the Sanskrit text with an English translation in 1973. It has 3000 shlokas in 8 chapters and was attributed by Shastry to Maharishi Bharadvaja, which makes it of purportedly "ancient" origin, and hence it has a certain notability in ancient astronaut theories.

A study by aeronautical and mechanical engineering at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1974 concluded that the aircrafts described in the text were "poor concoctions" and that the author showed complete lack of understanding of aeronautics.

Subbaraya Shastry was a mystic from Anekal, who was reputed to speak out verses (slokas) whenever he got inspiration, described by Josyer as "a walking lexicon gifted with occult perception". According to Josyer, he dictated the text to G. Venkatachala Sharma in the early 1900s (completing it in 1923).

The Vymanika Shastra was first committed to writing between 1918 and 1923, and nobody is claiming that it came from some mysterious antique manuscript. The fact is, there are no manuscripts of this text prior to 1918, and nobody is claiming that there are. So on one level, this is not a hoax. You just have to buy into the assumption that 'channeling' works. ... there is no exposition of the theory of aviation (let alone antigravity). In plain terms, the VS never directly explains how Vimanas get up in the air.

The text is top-heavy with long lists of often bizarre ingredients used to construct various subsystems. ... There is nothing here which Jules Verne couldn't have dreamed up, no mention of exotic elements or advanced construction techniques. The 1923 technical illustration based on the text ... are absurdly un-aerodynamic. They look like brutalist wedding cakes, with minarets, huge ornithopter wings and dinky propellers. In other words, they look like typical early 20th century fantasy flying machines with an Indian twist.
