[The Perilous Dreamer]

[The Perilous Dreamer]

Vimāna are mythological flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics.

[The Perilous Dreamer]

The Sanskrit word vi-māna literally means "measuring out, traversing" or "having been measured out". Monier Monier-Williams defines Vimana as "a car or a chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high", and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any car or vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories.[1] In some Indian languages like Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi, vimana or vimanam means "aircraft", for example in the town name Vimanapura (a suburb of Bangalore) and Vimannagar, a town in Pune. In another context, Vimana is a feature in Hindu temple architecture.

A five thousand year old ancient Indian VIMANA found in Afghanistan cave, eight American soldiers stuck in TIME WELL disappeared in attempt to remove it

There are also ample references followed by explanations, detailed construction designs and energetic solutions in many other Hindu writings, among which the most important is Vimanika Shastra where it is stated that the Hindu Vimanas had the capacity to fly with a great speed through the terrestrial atmosphere, under water, through oceans and also in outer space.While researching the Vedas (ancient texts) including around 50 episodes of the Mahabharata, Sir Desmond Leslie concluded that the ancient chariots or flying machines called Vimanas were actually anti gravitic vehicles and some of the weapons (Brahma weapon) could well have been nuclear bombs or death rays. Descriptions in the Vedas of the resulting carnage were reminiscent of Hiroshima.

I had forgotten all about these things. Something should definitely be done with these. An airborne royal court. Humans who live in air-cities while the elves are in the woods and plains and the dwarves in the mountains and mines.

There's a story by Tolstoy called "Strider" about a horse. The original name for the horse, in Russian, is kholsto-mer, "[bolt of] canvas measurer". i.e. - a bolt of canvas is some 39 yards, an extremely long step or stride for a horse, so an exaggerated nickname to show how "stridey" he is, how fast he runs.  I wonder if the author knew about the etymology of vimana. He was a well-read guy. Or if there could be some intermediate step. I suppose it could just be a common epithet for "speedy" things. Worth looking into...

I've never read that story. I looked it up and it said "Strider's altruistic life is recounted parallel to that of his selfish and useless owner." Makes me want to find and read the book. I love horses (and dogs) they can be quite affectionate towards their humans.

An airborne royal court and air-cities. Good ideas!
