1 The Artic Home of the Vedas Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856-1920), a renowned pioneer protagonist of Indian Independence at the

turn of the 20th century, was also a scholar in astronomy and Vedic antiquities, who among other feats, was able to place the oldest Indian Vedic civilization at around 4500 BC. Tilak was jailed by the British for his anti-British writings for several years, and this time he put to good use in studying the Veda scripts, in relation to known astronomical and geological events. Tilak published his findings in a book called The Arctic Home of The Vedas in 1903. In this he stated that, according to his readings of the Vedas, the original

Arctic home of humanity was destroyed around 10,000 - 8,000 BC by the last Ice Age, and that from 8,000 - 3000 BC, was the Age of Wandering,
before they Vedic people finally settled in India between 5,000 - 3000 BCE. By then, he went on to add, they had already begun to forget their Arctic origins and traditions. Ancient Indian texts seem clearly indicate that the Arctic region was the realm of the ancient gods since they specifically mention that it is where the sun rises and sets only once a year which demonstrates that the writers had a clear knowledge of the astronomical and seasonal situation at the North Pole. The question here is how did the ancient Indians know this? The obvious answer is because it was recorded in the Vedic Hymns, which speak of The Dawn of Many Days and The Thirty Dawn Sisters Circling Like A Wheel. When applied to the North Pole, these terms make sense since the sun takes exactly a month to actually appear above the horizon after the four-month night. These ancient forebears of the Indian people, the Aryans, obviously knew from first-hand experience that the sun takes a further month each year, to set. So theres a polar twilight of one month, followed by a night of four months then a dawn of one month, followed by a day of four months. Even though the details were written thousands of years ago, the Vedas are absolutely correct. The oldest Vedic year had only two divisions, which were called devas and pitras; names which correlated with the Day of The Gods and the Night of The Gods. This, curiously enough, is very reminiscent of another dramatic piece of Germanic Aryan mythology, Gottdammerung, the Twilight of The Gods which is a strangely apt connection with the Vedic-Aryan Polar Year. If the ancient Aryans did originate from a great city located in the hollow Earth, how did they arrive on the surface world to begin with? Obviously they couldnt have walked the entire distance, but Vedic traditions offer a possibility that may also serve as a clue to the modern question of the origin of UFOs. FLYING MACHINES FROM THE INNER WORLD In the Vedic literature of India, there are many descriptions of flying machines that are generally called vimanas. Usually they are described as manmade craft that resemble airplanes and fly with the aid of birdlike wings and unusually shaped structures that fly in

2 a mysterious manner and are generally not made by human beings. The word vimana is purportedly derived from vamana: He who is able at three strides to take measure of the entire Earth and heavens. Indias national epic, The Mahabharata, is a poem of vast length and complexity. According to Dr. Vyacheslav Zaitsev: The holy Indian Sages, the Ramayana for one, tell of two storied celestial chariots with many windows that roar off into the sky until they appear like comets. The Mahabharata and various Sanskrit books describe at length these chariots, saying that they are powered by winged lighting...it was a ship that soared into the air, flying to both the solar and stellar regions. Col. Henry S Olcott, who was a cofounder of the Theosophical Society, said in 1881 during a lecture in Allahabad: The ancient Hindus could navigate the air, and not only navigate it, but fight battles in it like so many war-eagles combating for the domination of the clouds. To be so perfect in aeronautics, they must have known all the arts and sciences related to the science, including the strata and currents of the atmosphere, the relative temperature, humidity, density and specific gravity of the various gases... The Arthasastra of Kautilya (c. 3rd century BCE) mentions amongst various tradesmen and technocrats the Saubhikas as pilots conducting vehicles in the sky. Saubha was the name of the aerial flying city of King Harishchandra and the form Saubika means one who flies or knows the art of flying an aerial city. Kautilya uses another significant word Akasa Yodhinah, which has been translated as persons who are trained to fight from the sky. The existence of aerial chariots, in whatever form it might be, was so wellknown that it found a place among the royal edicts of the Emperor Asoka which were executed during his reign from 256 - 237 BC. The Vaimanika Shastra refers to about 97 works and authorities of ancient times of which at least twenty works deal with the mechanism of aerial flying machines, but none of these works is now traceable. The Yuktikalpataru of Bhoja includes a reference to aerial cars in verses 48-50 and a manuscript of the work belonging to the Calcutta Sanskrit College dated at 1870 CE From these ancient texts it is clear that there were sophisticated vimanas, or aircraft in ancient India and they followed the route over the western sea i.e. Arabian Sea - Africa - Atlantic ocean - Latin America/Mexico. Other airships might have also followed this route, but most of the cargo ships, however, had to follow the longer route over the Pacific Ocean via Indonesia - Polynesia - Latin America/Mexico because of the favorable trade winds and the equatorial currents, which made the navigation easier. Prof. D. K. Kanjilal analyses the legend of the Matsya Purana (chapters 129) in his Vimana in Ancient India in the following words: Behind the veil of legend and scientific truth comes out that three flying-cities were made for and were used by the demons. Of these three, one was in a stationary orbit in the sky, another moving in the sky and one was permanently stationed in the ground. These were docked like modern spaceships in the sky at particular time and at fixed latitude/longitudes. Sivas arrow obviously referred to a blazing missile fired from a flying satellite specially built for the purpose and the brunt spaceship fell in the Indian Ocean. Vestiges of onetime prosperous civilization destroyed in battles only flicker through these legends.

3 Many modern researchers attribute the vimanas and the technology that accompanied them as proof that the ancient world was being visited by extraterrestrial beings. However, upon closer examination of The Puranas and other ancient Vedic traditions, it is clear that the vimanas were brought to the surface world when the Aryans migrated from their inner world home before the last ice age. The French esoteric writer, SaintYves dAlveydre, in 1886 revealed in his book, Mission of India, that the ancient Aryans came from Agartha, which is a hidden land beneath the surface of the Earth. This inner world was ruled over by a black sovereign Pontiff called the Brahmatma. This realm saw a migration to the surface world around 3,200 BC, at the beginning of the Kali Yuga (or Golden Age) and that Agartha has known technology such as artificial lighting, mechanized transport, and even air-travel, far in advance of our own modern technology. The surface world would often trade with Agharta using vimanas to fly in and out of secret tunnels that connected the hollow Earth with the surface. Even today, Agartha sends emissaries to the upper world, about which it keeps astonishingly well informed. Agartha also has huge libraries which enshrine the whole wisdom of the ages, engraved in stone. Many great secrets lie there, regarding many esoteric and spiritual subjects, including amazing skills and abilities long forgotten by those who dwell on the surface.
