Exploring The Futuristic Space Technologies

 by Praveen M Joshi

Let us think of the time when we will be zipping across space in our own crafts.

Space Age settlements and travel, too, seem to have only got  somewhat delayed but soon we are to work out the possibilities of ordinary folks flying into space.

To make those fruitful efforts that will lead to make Space Age settlements and travel possible , we will have to ideate first. Ideating requires inputs to be fed in our thinking engines. The sources of these inputs can be numerous and varied . We cannot afford to neglect any of these sources.

Broadly thinking, we can list these sources of thought inputs for ideation as intuition, imagination, dreaming, brainstorming, facts, fiction, realities, truths and numerous other things that occupy the domains of Human Knowledge available to us today!

The sub-domains and their contents comprising the total body of human knowledge  available today are to be explored for the purpose being dealt herewith. And hence we cannot ignore Veda Samhitas  that contain the revealed wisdom of the ancient Rishis. For , if we ignore, we will not  access the Vedic wisdom . And this will prove to be having a partial access to human knowledge available  up to date.

If we are to access The Vedic Wisdom we will have to access it with a clear focus on realising our purpose of making The Space Age settlements and travel possible.

But the question is do the Veda Samhitas contain anything worth contributing to our goal of realising The Space Age settlements and cargo and passenger Space Travel services ?

Why worry ? If they do not, we will be confirmed about after exploring the revealed wisdom in the Veda Samhitas.

And, if they do, we will be equipped with those things that will take us further towards our goal of making The Space Age settlements and Travel an everyday routine of living beings.

But we cannot expect any of these outcomes without  a series of proper , thorough and scientific investigations in to the revealed wisdom of the Veda Samhitas.

So, let us explore  The Revealed Wisdom of The Veda Samhitas !

Explore The Vedic Yantras!

What is a 'Yantra'?  Is it a path, a technique, or an instrument, an apparatus, mystical diagrams or instructions that Vedas Propounded?  Of what help these Yantras might have been to the Rishis? Why do the Veda Shastras held the power of Yantra in high esteem as an effective tool in the path of life?  What had been the aims and objects of  Vedic Yantras ? What do these Yantra diagrams communicate? Are Yantras mere signs of speech or writings? How are they related with Mantras and the Tantras? What are the relations between the Yantras and the deities?

Until now, most of us are carrying the impressions that Yantra is a science which is used through the five  elements of Nature and by the recitation of certain Mantras. Also we have the impressions that the vedic deities are worshipped in different forms and each form is linked to a Yantra. Also in our impressions we carry the knowledge that every planet is said to have a beneficial or harmful effect. And we are made to believe that Yantras remove the malefic effects of planets and increase their beneficial aspect. So, now the question is, whether we should go by our impressions or rather explore the Veda Samhitas and their systems of decoding the information about the Yantras that had been encoded to reveal the secrets through  the content of the Shrutis.
