Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Vedas: Scholars see military tech Guided missiles and precision targeting were first mentioned in the Vedas, claim Sanskrit scholars.Two Hyderabad-based Vedic research organisations, Sanskrita Bharati and I-Serve, claim that the Atharvana Veda is the prime source of military science, containing references to almost 60 sophisticated weapons. The arsenal is so big that even present-day military scientists would feel sheepish. "We think the Vedas are synonymous with religion," says K. Lalith Manohar, chairman of the state chapter of Sanskrita Bharati. "This is because of our narrow-mindedness and ignorance." Mr Manohar adds in his research paper that the military science in the Vedas was meant to destroy evil and preserve peace. Indiscriminate killing of enemies is not part of the ethos of Vedic military science. Some of the weapons described in the Vedas can be controlled even after they are set in motion.They can even be recalled, he claims. Mantras form an essential part of war strategy in Vedic military science. Asian Age http://www.rss.org/New_RSS/News/NewsDetail.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
