The Controversial Vimanas Theory
To those who pooh pooh the Vimanas Theory, we ask this question “ How come this concept of Vimanas existed in the mind of the Poet centuries ago ?”
To answer this question , we have go to into the definitions of Science & Poetry.
Science is defined as the systematized knowledge of Nature & Poetry as the fullness of generation of Beauty. Both are parallel systems.
Who is a Poet ?
The Poet is he who perceives the Celestial Diameter, Kavihi Kranta Darshee . There is no Philosopher who is not a Poet, na nrishee Kavih. Poetry can survive the Cosmological Cycles, Kavyam Kalpantharasthayee, being Eternal Knowledge.
Why Poets are called eternal winners ?
They alone conquer
The Bliss attained Poets
As their Fame bodies knoweth not
Disease or Death ineluctable !
What did the Romans call poets ?
They called them vates, diviners or prophets. Those noble people conferred such a Celestial title on poets.
The best definition of Poetry
Poetry is divine. It is the center & circumference of all Knowledge and it comprehends all Science.
That is it. It comprehends all Science.
………. And the greatest Poet is He,
Thrikala Vakyam Kavee !
Science knows itself, not Poetry
Poetry knows itself & Science.
Another feature of Indian Civilization –
Following the Luminaries
Follow the Sun !
If we follow the Sun, we will come to know about the seasons, as the Causer of all seasons is Sol, Ritukartha Prabhakarah !
For example, the longitude of the Sun is 288 degrees today, 02022020, which means he is in Makara. He enters 300th degree on the 15th, the Kumbha Solstice. Kumbha will usher in Ushna Kala, the Hot Season !
Hot months, Kumbha & Meena
In this era of Global Warming, we have to be wary of these hot months.
Prakriti, being infinite in Her Wisdom, gives us juicy fruits like Water Melon, Cucumber, Mangoes, Oranges, Sweet Lemon, Grapefruit et al to combat the blistering heat, during the Hot Season. Sambharam, Spiced buttermilk and Lassi, Curd can be taken in.
It is better not to go out during noon, lest there be sunstroke.

Redeeming features of Indian Civilization – Holism
The Whole, Samashti, is given top priority than the parts and the Indian approach is holistic, whether it be in the field of Medicine or in Science & Philosophy.
We are puny parts of the Great Whole, the Absolute, the Poornam. Everything contains an inward determination of the parts by the function & purpose of the Whole. Holistic Philosophy, Yoga & Holistic Medicine, Ayurveda, dominate India. The Reality of Two Fulnesses The Whole, the Absolute, the Macrocosm is that which exists in se. It is the Fulness of Fulness, poornam idam, Absolute Being, and its manifestation is the Fulness of Emptiness, Relative Being, Maya. Poornamada. India instructs man to consecrate to the Absolute, the Divine.
When the infinite totality of emptiness is subtracted from the infinite totality of fullness, what remains is the infinite totality of fullness ( as Infinity – Infinity = Infinity in Maths ), poornasya poornamadaya poornamevava sishyate.
Holism instructs man to identify with the Whole, the Macrocosm and free ourselves from the shackles of the Ego.
The Absolute, the Perfect, the Whole
Our mask of imperfection has assumed
Has made this tenement of flesh His own
He, in His human measure has cast
To His Divine Level we might rise !
Another Defining Feature – Liberalism
You can follow any System of Philosophy.
There are many systems and you can follow any. Monism, Advaita, Qualified Monism, Vishishtadvaita, Dualism Dvaita, Agnosticism, Ajneyavada, Atheism, Nir Eeswara vada et al. There is none to excommunicate you.
You can follow any Deity
There are many Deities and you can follow any. Ekam Sat, Only the One Exists, the Pure Existent and Sages call it by many names, vipra bahuda vadanti. So there is no compulsion on you to follow any single Redeemer.
You can follow any Guru
There are many Gurus and you can follow any. A bona fide Guru can take you to Self Actualisation. Out of the Four, Mother, Father, Guru & the Lord, Guru is the greatest, Tasmat Sastrasya Siddhanto Brahma daye Guru para. If the Lord gets angry, the Guru will save you, but if the Guru gets angry, who will save you ? ( Sivau rushte Gurur sratha Gurau rushte na Sankara ).
You can bring in your own theories
There are many theories and you can follow any.
You can innovate and modify theories. You can repostulate modified theories. You can redefine concepts.
Aurobindo’s Mind – Overmind –Supermind Axis was based on the Upanishadic Equation “ Energism of Consciousness is Brahman “, Prajnanam Brahma. So was Mahesh Yogi’s postulation of the Science of Creative Intelligence and the Transcendental Meditation technique.

The Noble Indian Civilizatiion
Bernard Shaw opined that all prophets were killed in their own lands ( Jesus, Socrates. Bruno, Mansoor et al ). May be this is true in other civilizations, but not in the Indian !
For instance, Satya Sai Baba declared Aham Brahmasmi and he has millions of followers worldwide. Same is the case with Amma & Sri Sri. Ramana Maharshi & Aurobindo are considered as Sages who reached Brahma Padam. In other words, Indian Civilization has only revered its prophets !
And, if her detractors want to call that Doctrine “ Hindu Supremacy Ideology “, it is their privilege !
In Indian Civilization, no one packs off one’s parents to Old Homes. Parents are revered and respected, and even after they move to the Subtle Physical Universe at death, they are honored with Pithru Tarpana.
In Tarpana, we invoke the Seven Sacred Rivers, Ganga cha Yamuna chaiva Godvari Saraswati / Narmada Sindhu Kaveri Jalesmin Sannidhim Kuru, we beg forgiveness from parents as well as the Lord, Samasta Aparadham Kshamaswa Akhilesa, thus throwing away the Papabhara ( weight of sins committed ) and attain mental peace.
If you want to call its Rationale “ Hindu Supremacy Ideology “, you are simply disproving what you intended to prove.
India is a Civilization which instructs its people to get up during Brahma Muhurta time ( around 0430 AM ), say Good Morning to Deity and all, Suprabhatham, and consecrate to the Divine. The Divine is understood as the Self Principle tenanting the Sky of Consciousness of the Heart of All, Hrid Chid Akasa and Which pervades the Universe, being transcendent, immanent & Cosmic.
Life has an ultimate purpose, Self Actualisation, Kaivalya, which should be pursued and attained ( Swa Vimarshah Purusharthah ). There are Four Purusharthas or Driving Forces – Artha/ Wealth, Dharma / Righteousness, Kama / Ambition & Moksha / Self Actualisation, of which Moksha / Self Actualisation is the Highest.
