Mahabharata : A Legendary Sci Fiction
Mahabharata and Ramayana are the two great epics of India. These two Kavyas are considered sacred to Hindus as they focus on Lord Rama in Ramayana and Lord Krishna in Mahabharata. As a mythphile and a beginner-Vernian, I admire at these two epics as a complicated- analytical science fiction. And I got crazy, when I was able to connect some of the stuffs in these epics to our present science. stuffs. Cool some !!
They had some sort of voice control upon their weapons. Unless a mantra is chanted, one couldn't use the weapon. And those controls were universal, like whoever has the knowledge of those mantras, they could use that weapon. They also scripted their weapons. Karna was able to use the arrow given Lord Indra only once, as digitally speaking, Indra scripted the weapon with some if conditions. And Karna planned it to use against Arjuna, but it was obviously used against Ghatodkacha, under Krishna's Leela.
In Ramayana, Janaka upholds a bow, which is too heavy for an ordinary person to lift. It was crafted by Viswamitra to Lord shiva, named Pinaka. It looks like Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. Only a worthy person could lift that. That's where Lord Rama comes, who is as worthy as he nearly broke the bow.
We all know Drona, The one who trained all the Pandavas and Gauravas in military and knowledge. He was the son of Bharadwaja Muni. One day, Bharadwaja rishi was awestruck by the beauty of an apsara named Gritachi, and involuntarily he prodeced his semen. He collected this semen in a pot made up of leaves, which is calld as Drona, This semen sprang into a child who was named after the pot. Hence , Drona is one of the mythological characters with rare births as he developed without the fertilization of eggs.
Some weapons were like Boomerangs. It returns back to the person who launched it.Eg, Karna's Nagaasthara and Krishna's Sudharasana Chakra. It's like the reusable missiles that Indian Space Research Organizationn was working on.
Many questions spring up. Were they so technologically awesome those days ? Were there any influence by ETs or aliens ? Did they time travel or mess with the timeline, as Flash does, to being these equips ?
Let the curiosity be ignited.
