Pushpaka Vimana, Conceptualizing Vedic Technology
lets know in this thread:

1) The Pushpaka Vimana, as detailed in Hindu literature and epitomized in the epic Ramayana, is not just a mythical symbol but a fusion of spiritual narrative and ancient technological wonder. This mythical flying chariot, or aircraft, has captured the human imagination, bridging divine narratives with notions of advanced ancient technology. The Sanskrit term vimāna (विमान) translates to "measuring out" or "traversing," indicating a vehicle crafted for spanning great distances. . 2) Pushpaka Vimana in Ramayana:

The Pushpaka Vimana is an integral part of the Ramayana's narrative. Crafted by Vishwakarma for Brahma, it later became the possession of Kubera, the god of wealth, and was eventually seized by the demon king Ravana. Its most notorious use was in the abduction of Sita, adding a layer of complexity to its story. Following Ravana's defeat, the Pushpaka Vimana became the vehicle for Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana's triumphant return to Ayodhya, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the restoration of moral order.

Great Indian Hindu Sages who revolutionised the field of Science:

1) Aryabhatt (476 CE) – Master Astronomer and Mathematician:

Born in 476 CE in Kusumpur ( Bihar ), Aryabhatt’s intellectual brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called “Aryabhatiyam.” He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space – 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the Indians, “This value has been given by the Hindus.” And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics. 2) Bhaskaracharya || (1114-1183 BCE) – Genius in Algebra : Born in the obscure village of Vijjadit (Jalgaon) in Maharastra, Bhaskaracharya’ s work in Algebra, Arithmetic and Geometry catapulted him to fame and immortality. His renowned mathematical works called “Lilavati” and “Bijaganita” are considered to be unparalled and a memorial to his profound intelligence. Its translation in several languages of the world bear testimony to its eminence. In his treatise ” Siddhant Shiromani ” he writes on planetary positions, eclipses, cosmography, mathematical techniques and astronomical equipment. In the ” Surya Siddhant ” he makes a note on the force of gravity: “Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, moon, and sun are held in orbit due to this attraction.” Bhaskaracharya was the first to discover gravity, 500 years before Sir Isaac Newton . He was the champion among mathematicians of ancient and medieval India . His works fired the imagination of Persian and European scholars, who through research on his works earned fame and popularity.

Vahana, in Hindu truelogy, the creature that serves as the vehicle, or “carrier,” and as the sign of a particular deity. The vahan of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are :

1) Ganesh - "The remover of obstacles -Ganesh ji is usually shown in sculpture accompanied by or riding a rat. Since rats are seen as being capable of gnawing their way through most things, the rat symbolizes Ganesh's ability to destroy every obstacle. 2) The Destroyer" - Shiva (Sanskrit: Auspicious One), or Siva, is one of the main Deities of Hinduism,His guardian is Nandi (the white bull), whose statue can often be seen watching over the main shrine. The bull is said to embody sexual energy, fertility. Riding on its back, Shiva is in control of these impulses

According to the Shiva Puran, Lord Shiva had 19 avatars. They signify His divine power. Often referred to as the Supreme God, His manifestations in different forms represent a unique symbolism.

1) Piplaad:
Lord Shiva took birth in the house of sage Dadhichi as Piplaad. His father died before he was born. He was raised by his aunt Dadhimati. When he grew up and learned about the cause of his father’s death, he was enraged and wanted to exact revenge. He was told by the Gods that Shani Dev was responsible for his father’s untimely death.

In hanuman chalisa it is said that hanuman ji not only possesses ashta siddhi but can also bestow ashta Siddhi to his devotees.

The eight siddhis are :

1) Anima
Anima is the first among the ashta siddhis. Mastering this siddhi gives the individual the ability to shrink down one’s body. This siddhi gives only the ability to shrink the body; the owner of this siddhi can shrink the body to his own will even at the atomic scale but cannot increase the size of the body. 2) Mahima
Mahima one of ashta siddhi siddhi grants the user the ability to attain gigantic forms. It is like anima or it completes Anima siddhi. Anima lets you shrink your body while mahima lets you increase the size of the body even to the celestial level. Lord hanuman used mahima to increase his size and lift sumeru parbat to bring back Sanjivani booti to save Laxman’s life. Another use of mahima siddhi was done by the Bahaman avatar of lord Vishnu. In which the lord turned his size celestial level and in three steps he covered the entire existence.

12 Indian Queens Who Bravely Challenged Norms to Etch Their Names in History

1) Ahilyabai Holkar:

Born in the village of Chondi in Jamkhed, Ahmednagar, Ahilyabai often noticed how women’s education was not given much importance. Though she was homeschooled by her father, she always desired the welfare of others.

Anyone who has witnessed Ahilya’s rise to power said it was her tryst with destiny that made her queen. This is because, despite being married into a royal family and giving birth to a prince, she lost her husband, father-in-law, and son, all within a span of a few decades.

So when she ascended the throne on 11 December 1767, she was committed to leading her people of Malwa to greatness. Through her reign, she fiercely protected the dynasty, refuting attacks and widening her troop base. 2) Ranilakshmi Bai:
Rani Lakshmibai was born on 19 November 1828 in the town of Varanasi. She was named Manikarnika Tambe and was nicknamed Manu. Her father was Moropant Tambe and her mother was Bhagirathi Sapre (Bhagirathi Bai); they hailed from modern-day Maharashtra. At four years old her mother passed away.
