Vaimanika Shastra – Vymaanika-shaastra

Vaimanika Shastra or Vymaanika-shaastra is a very strange illustrated book. It details the theories of ancient flying machines from Hindu India. Everything seems to be debunked. Even the author admits that the entire content is based upon dreamlike visions. However, the content is widely used to ignite theories about a golden era in ancient India of aviation.

The book was written and drawn in the early 20th-century by Subbaraya Shastry, a mystic from Anekal. He was an extraordinary man of great knowledge. For instance he was known for his ability to speak in tongues or verses whenever he got inspired. Thus the entire content of the Vaimānika Shāstra was spoken to his friend G. Venkatachala Sharma. This friend transcribed it exactly as spoken in Sanskrit. After some years the text was published in Hindi in 1959. Later it was translated to English with the title Vymanika Shastra. The later is the English version presented here.

The book is extremely detailed in the description of the technology behind aircraft, the metals used, assembly of planes and the theory of using planes in the war.

Were the Vimanas of Vaimanika Shastra flying machines?

The reason for the claims that the Vaimanika Shastra book might reveal ancient secrets lies in the fact that the author points out that the Vimanas, mythological castles and wagons mentioned in a number of Jain scriptures, where actual flying machines. Some even believe that the Rigveda and the Ramayanas mention of Vimanas really refer to actual flying machines.

From time to time the idea that airplanes from ancient India pops up. The theories are that they could fly not only all over the globe but even to other planets. On one occasion, at the 102nd Indian Science Congress held at the Mumbai University in January 2015. Ameya Jadhav, who holds in an M.A. in Sanskrit as well as an M.Tech. degree declared that: “In those days, airplanes were huge in size, and could move left, right, as well as backward, unlike modern planes which only fly forward.” This caused quite a stir, and NASA-representatives demanded Jadhavs talk be canceled because of the obvious element of pseudoscience.

Facts about The Vaimanika Shastra

  • The Vaimanika Shastra contains descriptions of several types of vimanas, including those powered by mercury, solar power, and wind power. The text also describes the materials used to construct these machines, such as metal alloys, special cloth, and aeronautical glass.
  • The vimanas described in the Vaimanika Shastra are said to be capable of traveling vast distances and reaching great heights. Some of them are even said to be able to travel to other planets and realms.
  • Despite the fantastical nature of the Vaimanika Shastra, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that such flying machines ever existed. Some scholars believe that the text may be a work of fiction or a metaphorical description of spiritual concepts.
  • Nonetheless, the Vaimanika Shastra has captured the imagination of many people over the years and has been the subject of much speculation and interpretation. Some have even attempted to build their own vimanas based on the descriptions in the text, though the results have been mixed at best.

  1. This is my final post, if you could read my comments in sequence then this will make more sense. I am writing this last post so I don’t send people down lots rabbit holes, with the ancient Annunaki and ancient Egyptians consuming monotonic powdered white gold ect ect… (Mana was the food of the gods) and mana is monotonic white powdered gold, the annunaki gods and the pharaohs of ancient Egypt which I believe is one of the same, consumed mana (monotonic gold) for enlightenment as its said it enables the consumer to use the brain to its full potential, and also so that the consumer can traverse dimensions, one being the underworld, so I just came to the conclusion that the word (vi-mana) has something to do with mana (monotonic white powdered gold) along with the gyroscopic spinning Mercury vortex engines as both have anti-gravitical properties. I could have gone about this a hell of a lot more simply!…. Sorry, but anyway these rabbit holes of ancient knowledge takes a life time to get even slightly close. They don’t make it easy for you.

  2. The last add on to my two previous posts.
    Countries that have been invaded one being India, isn’t to burn said countries books/ancient scriptures and knowledge, its to steal it, as this knowledge is a threat. I think the Vatican vaults and the illuminated ones/and the Annunaki has all this stored knowledge so history and the future can be directed/stirred by them, to a malleable dumbed down human society. (who doesnt know there past doesn’t know there future)

    • I am a Native of Aotearoa (new Zealand) one of the first things they took from us during there “missionary days” was our language. Native tongue is important to understanding the truth of who you really are aswell. We are not all made from the same thread but we all have the same duty and it’s too look after papatuanuku (earth mother)

  3. This is just an add on to my other post, if the ancient Indians were building gyroscopic spinning mercury vortex fields which is anti gravitic propulsion in its own right, then the ancient Indians were clearly on to something which I truly believe. The Annunaki of ancient summeria (the gods of old) who created mankind in there own image to mine gold for them, The Annunaki and the ancient Egyptians were ingesting the gold in monotonic form, and monotonic gold has some very strange properties, when heated on scales not only does it dissappear but also becomes more than weightless, and where does it dissappear to?… Another dimension?… Who’s to say the ancient Indians weren’t playing around with the properties of monotonic gold along with the gyroscopic spinning Mercury vortex engines. Both have anti-gravitical properties, plus monotonic gold when heated potentially may take the craft/vimana, to other dimensions aswell. Could that be the answer to inter-dimensional and inter-planetary travel?…. Who knows, just throwing it out there like and along with my other post….

  4. A spinning vortex of Mercury electrified has anti-gravitical properties of up to 70 percent weight loss, depending on the rate of rotation and the electrical current supplied, but what if monotonic white gold was also lining the inside walls of said vimana and heated, as monotonic white gold when heated also has anti-gravitical properties when heated, wouldn’t that raise that 70 percent to possibly 100 percent weight loss of the craft?…. Just throwing it out there…

      • im researching it and find some things aint right it cant travl underwater if the iron mercury boiler is heated by fire it needs to be water tight then and if heating mercury with fire it then uses all the air up and it cant go into space either no air for the boiler then and it has to be air tight and how do they over come mercury poisoning from the fumes and heated mercury only bubbles and gives off toxic mercury vapor which can be ionized but then you only get very low thrust of ions then so something’s missing

  5. I agree with vardhin. India’s vedic science is not comparable. Our Rishi/Munis were much more advanced scientists than we have in the world today. We definitely need to unite and bring right information to people in the world.

    • I agree with you. I just read a study from Indian professors (IISc, etc.) available in research gate, and how they proved that this work is not older than 1900 is upsetting. Indians are enough to demean Indians. :/

    • Its sad to see that Indians have neglected their own past and there are only few people who care about it, it hurts, and People forgot that their culture and past is not just full of Gods, Prayers and toxic religionism which is affecting them now, but it is also full of valuable information, which gets neglected and they wait for someone to come and pick that up from a garbage can and publish it, so I dont find any hopes of interests from the main Indian mindset, i know its my own country but sadly, majority of people dont care

      • thank you for such comment. We have to recognize our past and inventions like open heart surgery done by Susrut Maharishi. All the latest inventions were somehow used by our ancieint people and its sad that it didn’t transcend to our generation due to lot of theft of intelligence property. Indians should recognize their potential and stop praising and following western culture.

      • What is truly sad is the entire world walks in the same darkness. Not one single culture has escaped the influences of today’s “science” that strives so diligently to prove the ancients of every culture were uneducated and primitive, incapable of even the most rudimentary technology. As a Westerner, I have lamented for years how our teachers and scientists are so easily able to dismiss ancient manuscripts which point so obviously to technologies far more advanced than our own. I think the greatest thing we could do would be to actually reproduce examples of the ancient technologies as proof they truly did exist.

  6. The Westerners think the indian ancient technology as Alien technology. becoz the Indian technology was far more advanced than the current modern technology, badluck the ancient indian technology was not forwarded. still areoplanes, clonning..etc are basic technolgies originated from indian technology but not alien.when indians are travelling planes.. westeners are living in caves. dont understimate , for everything time will come

    • Don’t get started with Indian tech and all. Do some reserch. No human is capable at that time to discover such tech. interventions happened. Tech found everywhere in the world at that period of time.

  7. Shivkar bapuji talpade was the first to fly the first vimana in India not the wright brothers in 1903 and the amazing fact is the shivkar himself had used this book ‘vimanik sahastra’ for building the amazing vimana which had flew at a height of 1150 mtr and for 37 sec.

  8. Our India had so much Knowledge destroyed by Turkish Muslim invaders in 1193 that Nalanda university alone burnt for 5 days, just imagine the number of books that were burnt and the amount of knowledge that was lost.
    Not only that all the temples in India had a lot of inscriptions and representations where were again destroyed by invaders. We Hindusthanians lack unity and so we have witnessed all the loot and destruction in the past.

    British people killed so many arts, cultures and traditions that existed in India that we are clueless about them now. the leftover was destroyed by Nehru and his dynasty… Let’s hope that this destruction which began 1000 years ago stops here and now at least all the Bharat’s vanshis’ unite.

  9. I think this book needs removed from here, this as this gives the false belief that these machines existed, even where there is no evidence of them and more importantly this book is too ‘new’ to be used as evidence of the existence of ancient flying machines.

    Not only that, it bases itself on other books but none of the books it bases itself on had any pictures.

    • Dear LazySusan,
      here the matter is not that to prove indians have used all those advanced technologies which are not even being used now, even as the movies nowadays go through remake, the book which you saw was a remake of the original manuscript of VAIMAANIKASHASTRA by BHARADHWAAJA MUNI, which is written in ancient sanskrit and even now it is mostly damaged and now it is there in museum.
      The speciality of Indian scriptures is that they have two meanings, one belongs to surface and another to depths, only scholars and understand the true meanings of those writings,
      Let me give you an example: In agastya Grandha the process of making a battery was indicated by the process shown below:
      1. Take a pot
      2. Pour some mercury
      3. Add some zinc
      4. Add Mayuragreevam i.e peacock’s head
      5. Place two copper plates at either ends.
      6. Connect hundred of them which will result in tremendous amount of energy.

      Here the people like you consider that we should really add a peacock’s head but it’s not true,it’s just the surface meaning the real meaning is that the colour of peacock’s head represents the blue colour of copper sulphate and the author refers that we should add the material which is in the colour of peacock’s head.
      I think by now you might have understood.
      Even now if you believe it’s fake, then take it as science fiction and appreciate it that indians do have some sci-fi knowledge in those days.
      Yours ….. Fill it as you want

    • Lot of things in the past even in the west have no proof of existence, including many claims in the religions. And lot of proof comes out during archeological excavations like planned city, roads, drainage, metallurgy etc etc that existed 1000-5000 yrs ago.

  10. It’s real fact our ancestors had a flight 2k yrs back like in purananuru and silpadigaram evedients are here in.. But now so many Tamil peoples r not know about our ancient people science and technology it is very shameless to us.. .

    • U fool,Indian mythology and history is full of scientific inventions and great people from which American and European inventors and scientists are inspired. not of such time travellers.but they can.because the mythology is a cycle.the mythology is both past and future.

  13. I think there really were flying machines. They had them in Atlantis too ! Those NASA scientists couldnt handle the fact that theyre not the first to invent them, their poor little egos. Poor babies. Many scientists really get into their pathetic little egos like that.
