HOW DID MAHARISHI BHARADWAJ’S ‘BRIHAD VIMANASHASTRA’ REACHE GERMANY?: SWAMI OMANAND SARASWATI

There is a story in the Taittiriya Brahmana. Maharishi Bharadwaj had reached the age of 300. Indra, the king of the gods, asked him in his old age, "If you were granted a fourth life, to live for another 100 years, what would you do?" Bharadwaj replied, "In this next life too, I will remain a lifelong celibate and study the Vedas." Indra showed him three large, unknown mountains and, taking a handful from each, said, "Look! These Vedas, like huge mountains, are endless. You have only been able to study a little at the age of 300; most of them remain unknown to you. Come, study them and learn. Humans are ignorant. Sages like Bharadwaj, even after observing celibacy for 300 years, could not become fully versed in the Vedas."

ARA-----------------------------There is a story in the Taittiriya Brahmana. Maharishi Bharadwaj had reached the age of 300. Indra, the king of the gods, asked him in his old age, "If you were granted a fourth life, to live for another 100 years, what would you do?" Bharadwaj replied, "In this next life too, I will remain a lifelong celibate and study the Vedas." Indra showed him three large, unknown mountains and, taking a handful from each, said, "Look! These Vedas, like huge mountains, are endless. You have only been able to study a little at the age of 300; most of them remain unknown to you. Come, study them and learn. Humans are ignorant. Sages like Bharadwaj, even after observing celibacy for 300 years, could not become fully versed in the Vedas."

Maharishi Bharadwaj, a lifelong celibate, became a great scholar by studying and teaching the book of all true knowledge. He wrote a book called "Yantra Sarvasva." One of its chapters is "Vrihad Viman Shastra." This Viman Shastra had also been lost. A German scholar found a page from this book. Taking that page, he visited all the libraries in India and searched for it. But he could not find any trace of it. Driven by this passion, the German scholar began searching for it by visiting the homes of Brahmins (knowers of Brahmanism). Fortunately, he found it in the home of a widow Brahmin woman in Rajasthan. However, it was missing a single page, which he had found elsewhere. He was overjoyed at his success. He wanted to take this book to his home country, Germany, but the Brahmin woman categorically refused to give it to him, saying, "This book cannot leave our house." But this German scholar remained undeterred. He adopted the widow Brahmin woman as his sister-in-law and for many years, he continued to provide her with financial assistance in various ways. In effect, he became her brother! Just as a brother helps his sister financially on festivals and holidays, giving her clothes and other items, he continued to do the same, and occasionally visited her. The widow Brahmin woman felt firsthand that he was truly her brother from her previous life. Before returning to Germany, he gave her a large sum of money and essential items and prayed, "I am returning to my homeland! Please show me the book (Brihadvimana Shastra) again." The sister asked, "Brother!" Tell me the truth: do you just want to see this book or do you want to take it? Sister, I want to take it, but you won't give it. So how can I take it? The Brahmin woman said, "The time has passed when I forbade it! Now you have become my brother (more than a real brother). A brother has rights over his sister's belongings. Therefore, this book is now yours. You have helped and favored this sister of yours so much, I have no words to express my gratitude and thank you." That German scholar took this book to his country, Germany. The scientists there conducted research on it. When Germany's Emperor Hitler lost the war against Russia and America, and his whereabouts were unknown, Russia, out of revenge, wanted to destroy Germany forever. But America opposed this, saying that if Germany were destroyed, science would disappear from the world and new scientific discoveries would be prevented. The two countries decided to divide Germany in half, to keep it under their control forever.

The entire country of Germany was divided into two parts, with East Germany becoming the domain of Russia and West Germany becoming the domain of the United States. Berlin, the capital of Germany, was also divided into two parts, and a concrete wall was built between them. When I visited Germany, I saw the divided divisions of both Germanys and the wall dividing them. One country was created into two. Without a permit, even a German citizen could not travel from one part to the other. Not only this, they even divided the scientists and scholars of Germany! Those scholars conducted research on the treatise "Vrihad Viman Shastra" and created such aircraft-like rockets that people from these countries flew to the moon. (Note that America and Russia had a significant, direct and indirect influence on divided Germany.) This "Vrihad Viman Shastra" also documents the history of aircraft and describes the construction of such unique aircraft that one can travel to planets and satellites like the moon. Our ancestors used to travel between planets and satellites using such aircraft in ancient times.

After searching for such a book, we found it in a library in Baroda. The Sarvadesi Sabha (Universal Assembly) received it for translation. Swami Brahmamuni Vidyamartand translated it and published it by the Sarvadesi Sabha, New Delhi. Americans purchased 300 copies, and the first edition quickly sold out. The Sabha officials persuaded us to print a second edition, priced at a very low ₹20. I also purchased 100 copies for publicity. This is Maharishi Bharadwaj's immortal work, or immortal progeny. The disciples and texts of sages are their children. All sages were usually celibate. Maharishi Patanjali, the author of the Mahabhashyaka, writes: There were thousands of higher sages named Tashi and the eight sages Agastya attended the race There are those clans that you have, sos other clan members!!

That is, eighty-eight thousand Urdhvareta Brahmachari Rishis have been born. Only eight of them had married and had children! The gotras were named after the same sages. The rest of the gotras were passed down by their grandchildren, great-grandchildren etc. They were eight sages: Atri, Jamadagni, Gautama, Bharadvaja, Kashyapa, Vashishtha, Vishvamitra and Agastya.

This India is the land of sages and gods. People from all over the world came here in ancient times to study learning and to learn about character and virtue. For more than 1.96 billion years, this Aryavarta country has been the Guru of the whole world. From Ikshvaku, the son of Lord Manu, to Yudhisthira, India has been the Chakravarti kingdom all over the world. The king and the subjects all the Vedic religion and the sages here always went to spread the Vedic religion in countries and islands. Manu Ji Maharaj has been in the original creation! He writes in the Manusmriti:

"This is the firstborn from the country-born!

All humans on earth will learn their own characters!! Manu. 2/2

Let human beings around the world learn virtue from the Brahmins (Brahmavadis) of Aryavarta! The ancient Aryan sages made all the races of the world their disciples with their Vedic teachings, knowledge and virtue.
