Ancient Hindus could navigate the air By Shachi Rairikar..http://www.geocities.com/aoclery/AncienHindunavigateair.htm Talpade, a resident of Mumbai, was an erudite scholar of Sanskrit literature, especially of the Vedas, an inventor and a teacher in the School of Arts. His deep study of the Vedas led him to construct an aeroplane in conformity with the descriptions of the aircraft available in the Vedas and he displayed it in an exhibition arranged by the Bombay Art Society in the Town Hall.In 1895, full eight years before the Wright Brothers%u2019 first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA, Shivkar Bapuji Talpade and his wife gave a thrilling demonstration flight on Chowpatty beach in Mumbai.The Rig Veda, the oldest document of the human race, includes references to the following modes of transportation: jalayan%u2014a vehicle designed to operate in air and water (Rig Veda 6.58.3); kaara%u2014a vehicle that operates on ground and in water (Rig Veda 9.14.1); tritala%u2014a vehicle consisting of three storeys (Rig Veda 3.14.1); trichakra ratha%u2014a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in air (Rig Veda 4.36.1); vaayu ratha%u2014a gas or wind-powered chariot (Rig Veda 5.41.6); vidyut ratha%u2014a vehicle that operates on power (Rig Veda 3.14.1).

the vimans at that time were not supersonic jets like in our present modern age.........
most probably they were hydrogen filled baloons flying at the speeed of wind.......which explains why ram took 14 days to reach from Lanka to Ayodhya.......(consider the distance to be say 2500 km.....and divide it by average wind speed of 2 m/s...u will get the answer).......
just start from nature.observe 1000 mango trees. can you find difference?same with grass,banana trees etc.so replication?now take any two humans out of billions.can you find similarity? so uniqueness?now leave it.why the single cell bacteria evolved to human,but no more evolution.just ponder. HE exists? you may call Him Rama,Allah,God,Jesus,Bramha?

He was thousand times better than what you are. Nobody knows you and cares whether you live or die. Maybe this opens your eyes. But millions of people pray Rama. Why?

Those not having believe not to teach. JAKI RAHI BHAWANA JAISEE> PRABHU MURATI DEKHI TIN TAISEE. BUT ram never told the satu rhe mandir those notcan not be maintained can not be replaced for humanity.
Argue on religion is an endless topic. Ages passes away.How many books are there on this topic we can not imagine. Belife does not require proof. It\'s only belief. there r two types of people in our society. one part believe on the issue and the other part don\\\'t. So it is endless. it will be carried on till the end. On Ram Setu, Lord Ram built to save his wife and to rescue human being for the devils. HE built it for a beneficial work. And now if Ram Setu is going to be rebuilt for the benefit of our country or whatever u think, then it should be done. Lord Ram is UNIVERSAL truth as death & life. It does not matter whether we agree or disagree.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's remarks about Ram existtance should not be such big issue. If his general knowegde is poor,he did not read about Ram. He seems doubtful about his existance.

NEWS : Modi would win like the Indian team: Advani, COMMENT: Advani, who praises Gujarat Carnage, does not know World Cup is a victory of the unity of Hindu-Muslim players.
I believe GOD is all powerful be it in any religion. To me because GOD is all powerful I do not worry about what anyone says about my belief - if I am faithful and adore my GOD and do all the right things - I please my GOD and GOD rewards me with his blessings. No MAN can insult or belittle GOD in any way - by his behaviour MAN belittles himself and thus distances himself from GOD - so that MAN is the loser, sufferer and I feel sorry for any MAN who tries to gain brownie points by making senseless statements against any religion or belief.
My advice to all my Hindu brothers and sisters is Believe in GOD, do everything that is pleasing to him and your life will be very fruitful. The best way to get at an enemy is to pray for him and God will do the rest.

God doenot follow any religion, we are searching God and want his blessing by way of a path called religion. Those who get to see/feel the God and get its blesseing are the blessed soul who serve the society at large and attain heaven and get relived of wordly appearances. A human being is lucky to have this path of religion to get close to the God otherwise what is there in the life to attain, is it wealth, Land, Children, postion ...GOD only Knows.
We are all senseless those who have not felt god, Karuna is all blind/senseless from inside as well outside or he is frustrated with the search, he has served no humanity, he doesn't know it.
We cannot see air, but we feel it passing through our nostril or in the wind that just blew past us. So god can only be felt with special senses which has to developed through meditation, concentration, hardwork, good deeds for society etc.
