Summary: Is it really possible that the ancient Indians had the capacity to

deploy devastating nuclear weapons against their enemies?

IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE THAT THE ANCIENT INDIANS HAD THE CAPACITY

TO DEPLOY DEVASTATING NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST THEIR ENEMIES?

MOREOVER, IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE, AS MANY UFOLOGISTS CLAIM, THAT

AWESOMELY POWERFUL NUCLEAR WEAPONS WERE ACTUALLY GIVEN TO

THE ANCIENT INDIAN WARRIORS BY EXTRA-TERERSTRIALS, HIGHLY

ADVANCED SPACEMEN FROM OTHER PLANETS? WELL, PASSAGES FROM

ANCIENT INDIAN NATIONAL EPICS CERTAINLY APPEAR TO BE EVIDENCE OF

SUCH ASTONISHING CLAIMS….

It is in ancient Indian epic poems such as such The Mahabarata and The Ramayana that

we can read what appear to be references to an otherwise relatively primitive people

having the capacity to wield highly destructive nuclear weapons. Not surprisingly it is as

a direct consequence of such compelling passages that many UFOlogists like Erich Von

Daniken and W. R. Drake (See for I.E. According to The Evidence – Souvenir, 1977 and

Gods & Spacemen In The Ancient East - Sphere, 1976 ), have argued that the highly

advanced capacity to use (and misuse) nuclear weaponry must have being handed down

to these ancient people by the Gods or, in other words, highly-advanced extra-terrestrial

spacemen.

How else, these proponents of ancient astronauts say, could such an ancient people

manage to develop the extremely advanced technological status necessary to make such

complex and destructive weaponry that could ‘scorch the universe’ and make

‘inauspicious winds’ blow? Surely even the crude but ultimately terribly destructive

nuclear device dropped on Hiroshima demanded an highly advanced science to develop

and deliver it, they say.

Reading through the various passages of The Ramayana and The Mahabarata with an eye

to references of destructive nuclear type weapons certainly does lend itself to believing

such claims, too. The evidence does appear to be highly compelling. For instance on

p.383 of the Drona Parva we come across the following lines which certainly could be

construed as evidence of the loathsome effects of detonating a nuclear weapon of some

sorts:

“Encompassed by them (bowmen)…Bhisma smiting the while and uttering a leonine

roar, took up and hurled at them with great force a fierce mace of destruction of hostile

ranks. The mace of adamantine strength, hurled like Indra’s thunder by Indra himself,

crushed, O King, thy soldiers in battle. And it seemed to fill…the whole earth with a loud

noise. And blazing forth in splendour, that fierce mace inspired thy sons with fear.

Beholding that mace of impetuous course and endowed with lightening flashes coursing

towards them, thy warriors fled away uttering frightful cries. And at the unbelievable

sound …of that fiery mace, many men fell down where they stood and many car (vimana

or flying vehicle) warriors also fell down from their cars.”

As Drake says on p.49 of Gods And Spacemen In The Ancient East (Sphere, 1976), we

are startled here by these lines which bear an “Uncanny resemblance to future wars, when

our earth’s capitals may be blasted with bombs of anti-matter launched from space-

satellites” .

According to Indian tradition The Mahabarata, a fabulously rich verse epic, was first

collected together by Vyasa, probably an incarnation of the God Vishnu. It was first

recited by one Vaicampayana and, at least in its present form, is reckoned to date from

around the 4th century BC to around the 4th century AD. Like The Ramayana, which is

reckoned to have emerged at around the time when The Mahabarata was taking its final

shape, The Mahabarata is made up of fables, parables, essays, poetry and prose from the

earliest of times. Interestingly, too, as some proof of its importance and relevance to

many people today still, in July 1985 it was produced by the renowned Peter Brook in

Avignon (See: p.113, Sacred Writings Of World Religions, Chambers, 1992).

Though eclectic in style, throughout The Mahabarata runs the story of the long war

between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. Interestingly, too, for our purposes here, during

the epic we are told of a terrible battle during which Asvatthaman, cornered by Pandavas

in a forest, launches a terrible weapon which is said to be capable of destroying an entire

world. Astonishingly, even though the all powerful Krishna deflects the missile from

reaching its goal, Asvatthaman still manages to direct it instead at the Pandava women,

the children they are carrying, and will carry in later years. On p.677 of the Drona

Parvawe we can read more about the devastating effects of Asvatthaman wielding his

awesome ‘Agneya’ weapon:

“The sun seemed to turn around. The universe scorched with heats seemed to be in a ever.

The elephants and other creatures of the land scorched by the energy of weapon, ran in

fright, breathing heavily and desirous of protection against that terrible force…”

Also in the very same passage: “A thick gloom suddenly shrouded the… host. All points

of the compass also were enveloped by that darkness. Rakshashas and Vicocha crowding

together uttered fierce cries. Inauspicious winds began to blow.”

All in all such descriptive passages amount to compelling and frightening stuff. As Drake

says on p.49 of Gods And Spacemen In The Ancient East (Sphere, 1976): “Arjuna and his

companions (our warrior heroes in The Mahabarata) appear(ed) to possess an arsenal of

diverse, sophisticated nuclear weapons, equal to, perhaps surpassing, the missiles of the

Americans and Russians today”. Von Daniken also seems to agree. It is difficult not to

think of Hiroshima, he says, when reading passages like the following from The

Mahabarata and cited on P. 164 of his book According To The Evidence (Souvenir,

1977):

“The heavens cried out, the earth bellowed an answer, lightening flashed forth, fire

flamed upwards, it rained down death. The brightness vanished, the fire was

extinguished. Everyone who was struck by the lightening was turned to ashes”. And

again from the same source: “It was a ghastly sight to see. The corpses of the fallen were

so mutilated they no longer looked like human beings. Never before have we seen such

an awful weapon, and never before have we heard of such a weapon”.

Although, of course, these days we have seen and heard about such awful weapons and,

moreover, the terrifying effects that such awful weapons cause when detonated. For

didn’t the media relay the horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to awesomely horrific

effect?

Reading through the above passages it would obviously be foolhardy to simply dismiss

outright the idea that the ancient Indian warriors did possess some terrible weapons,

possibly even of a nuclear type. But perhaps it could be considered an equal

oversimplification to admit that the ancient Indian warriors did undoubtedly possess such

weapons also. The argument still stubbornly remains as to whether such ancient writings

are actually based in fact or simply meant to be interpreted symbolically. All of which

means, of course, that the highly contestable question of whether the ancient Indians were

really given such awesome nuclear weapons by spacemen, ancient astronauts from other

planets, must remain so. It seems, at this point, that we either do or do not believe. It

appears to all boil down to a simple matter of faith.

Perhaps though, this said, there is actually something else, a little more substantial even,

that we are able to take away from our brief sojourn through the ancient Indian epics .

Namely a (reinforced?) belief that peace must always be mankind’s ultimate goal. For

certainly, whether rooted in truth or merely symbolic, the explicitly shocking descriptions

of death and destruction to be found in, say, The Mahabarata are undeniably terrifying

and, as such, give grave forewarning to all nations of the world of the importance of

steering a path of non-violence.

To this particular end, when we hear today about India’s newly (newly?) acquired nuclear

capabilities or, say, American President George Bush’s proposed ‘Son Of Star Wars’

Nuclear Missile Defence Programme, we should certainly be very much on the alert.

Should we admit that the ancient Indian epics can be interpreted as poetic lessons, we can

consider ourselves duly warned against expanding rather than depleting the world’s

nuclear stockpiles. Clearly, if nothing else, it can be interpreted that as Bhisma sought a

general reconciliation at the end of The Mahabarata, so must we be resolved on

reconciliation in all our global relations today, too.

PREHISTORY

Aboriginal myths incorporate the idea of "sky beings", with the Wandjina

being among the most interesting to consider. The Wandjina have been

preserved in a fascinating oral tradition and in a large collection of rock

paintings scattered throughout the Kimberley region of northern Australia.

The paintings have received all manner of interpretations from stylised

representations of a pervasive myth system to naive "ancient astronaut"

theories.

It is however fascinating to see that the indigenous tribes viewed the

Wandjina as "the spirit in the cloud." Indeed, the unique painting style

shows a logical sequence from human figures to stylised representations

of clouds. This duality of anthropomorphic form and "clouds" is widespread

in primitive cultures and finds an interesting parallel in the biblical accounts

in "Exodus."

While this line of thought is suggestive of superior "sky beings" acting as

cultural catalysts for primitive societies, I should point out that making

mythological component comparisons, can make for interesting exercises,

full of emotive similarities, but are purely speculative. [1]

ANCIENT TRACES?

There are numerous elements of aboriginal lore in which provocative

parallels can be seen with modern day UFO experiences. To argue that

identical stimuli may have been involved may be foolish as it is impossible

to prove either way. Never the less some accounts are startling. Prosaic

explanations are probable but consider the following.

The aboriginal tribe, the Bad, of the West Kimberly area, Western

Australia, revered "a supreme being" called Djamar. According to tradition

he manifested in a manner highly suggestive of "something" landing and

leaving behind a physical record. Of course the reverse can argued. That

is that the aborigines invested supernatural dimensions into many prosaic

features of the natural landscape.

The young initiates of the tribe were led to the stony bed of a creek and

were shown the holes where Djamar had planted his "bullroarer". In

aboriginal lore the sound of the "bullroarer" a roaring wind noise
