vimana

Years ago, I told our helper who belonged to one of the Indigenous tribes of Davao that I met a European friend who has been inventing a futuristic spacedrive vehicle with a technology that literally lets the car "float." It was far from a naive conversation for I had been doing personal research and some of my sources revealed that in the ancient of days, there were indeed eras when such level of advancement did occur prior to Humanity's downfall into lower dimension, and then its supression and eventual loss of such knowledge from among the unknowing mainstream. I surmised that the indigenous peoples of Mindanao with their culture and legacy that survived (and thrives) for centuries, or millennial, may have preserved knowledge about these forgotten eras, unlike what conventional history books inform to the supposed "modern" society.

Her face somehow lit up, not out of surprise but rather out of seeming familiarity, and she replied, "That's what our ancestors used to ride during ancient times!" Actually, I half-expected her reply. The knowledge must have been reserved only for her tribe and not intended, for the meantime, for those outside who may mock or ridicule such knowledge due to ignorance of the once grandiose, but long forgotten past. She desisted from further sharing details about it when I inquired again, and I let her be.

Ancient texts and narratives did mention about these otherwise highly advanced contraptions. In the Vedic literature of India (considered to be the oldest of all Indian texts), these flying machines were even detailed into two categories, those that were manmade crafts that resembled airplanes, and those mysterious crafts not generally made by humans, and were identified into at least four different types replete with detailed descriptions. These were called the Vimana. From among the Maharlika Indigenous Peoples, these "flying boats" were called Sarimbar.

This is an image of a vimana:



The vimana had intrigued me, for I suspected that some temples from mainland Asia whom our Maharlikan ancestors originated from seemed to be shaped like a sort of 'rocket' launching into space. Observe these temple images from India and Thailand and notice the eerie similarity with that of the soaring vimana above:





Ironically, some of these temples were also called "Vimana."
