BC - Thanks for posting very inspiring article that throw some light how our rishis in ancient times would have gained so much of power through solar energy and also by chanting mantras.
GR – Once a question was asked to Swami Tripurarai about the mention of dinosaurs in Vedic text. I just reproduce his answer:
The legends and lore of most pre-modern cultures contain descriptions of very large animals and it seems that there is irrefutable evidence that very large animals did inhabit the earth in the distant past. Vedic scriptures mention this as well. For example, Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.7.18 speaks of large water elephants and whale-swallowing fish, timi-dvipa-graha-timingilakulat. The Bhagavatam also speaks of large birds compared to clouds, yatha meghah syenadayo vayu-vasah.
(let me also try to find out whether there is any mention about pizza in our vedic literature :-) )
The rig Veda talks of following modes of transportation, that is recent invent by modern science.
Jalayan - a vehicle designed to operate in air and water.
Kaara- Kaara- Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in water.
Tritala- Tritala- Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories.
Trichakra Ratha - Trichakra Ratha - Trichakra Ratha - a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in the air.
Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- Vaayu Ratha- a gas or wind-powered chariot.
Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- Vidyut Ratha- a vehicle that operates on power...
GR, once you read the dark period after Mahabharata war you will find the reason why and how our puranas got twisted and told differently in other countries. You can find in every ethnic culture in the world, without fail, there is discussion of a Great War. How does that come about? It may not go by the name Mahabharata, but the great war is there, everywhere. Be it Sumerian, Mayan or in old Chinese tradition. Greek mythologies have a very close similarity to stories from the Kurushetra war.
Duriyodhana had right to become a king of Hastinapura. No doubt. But at the same time Yudhistrar also had equal right for the same position, as his father Pandu ruled Hastinapuram. There was a great confuse as to who is supposed to be king of Hastinapuram, whether Duriyodhana or Yudhistrar? So, it was decided to test the capabilities of both. Duriyodhana failed and Yudhistrar succeeded. And when the public opinion sought through spies they wanted only Yudhistrar to rule them. In spite of all, Duriyodhana committed in the assembly that he would give half of kingdom if they successfully complete 12 years of vanavasam and 1 year of anghyadha vasam. But he did not honour his commitment. Nevertheless Pandavas tried in so many ways to have gentlemen agreement with duriyodhana. They were ready to accept even 5 acres of land. Duriyodhana refused. When all the doors of harmony got closed Guruchethra war was planned.
About lord Krishna………I have written so many times in this thread about the reason for his actions (which you are calling as cheating).
