Science in Mahabharata - Page 7

I think if the Indus Valley Script could be deciphered, then the evidence of such war could be found. Or we have to accept that such a great war was not fought. It must have been smaller than what it is. Bharatvarsh was something many were interested in due to the amount of treasure we had, hence it's strange that no mention has been made.

I think these visiting heaven incidents are all interpolatations or just stories added later because it's tough to believe that they actually managed to travel to another planet and these is actually life they witnessed there.

Or, how about they simply Visited kingdoms outside India? The story revolves around Bharat varsh or the Indian subcontinent. But what if these signify that they travelled outside of India and met different kinds of people?

You mean superior civilisations outside Bharat ?? I can’t believe that .. am sure they went to other planets ... indralok cant be present on earth surely ?? performing meditation to reach the heavens n Indralok refers to the hardships one had to go through in order to reach that place .. to get weapons of mass destruction / nuclear weapons n Atomic weapons and may be biological weapons too .

Not superior. Words maybe manipulated. Divine weapons could mean outside help, extra man help or knowledge.

Going outside the planet seems very far fetched for me unless you accept divine interventions. But if we consider it to judge it via human tradition, Indraloka was just described as heavenly. There is no clear indication that it was outside this earth. Also, at that age, we were not sure of the boundaries of the earth. People living in Bharat didn't know much about the world outside Bharat. Same with other places because of lack of exploring, knowledge and travelling. So I think Indraloka was just a foreign country, much more beautiful as described in MB and new people.

I will reluctantly agree with your explanation ..🤔😒

BTW ....what do you think of Surya Devta coming down from sky n giving Kunti a son !! How can we explain that ?? Did she get pregnant by exposure to some UV rays ?? Who could this person be ??

Indus valley script deciphering is necessary to get more information about it

There was a man Jharkhand who claimed that the Uraon community from Jharkhand is the descandant of Indus valley people and their script is similar to that of Indus valley and wanted a chance to decipher it, but Indian government didn't pay much heed to it

Well people definitely had vague idea of extra terrestrial world

If we go with the Revti and Balram ji story, Revti and her dad visit Brahmlok and spend some time there before asking for a suitable groom for Revti.

Brahmaji to this replies that they should immidiately return to earth as years have passed during their journey to this Lok and when they reach earth many Yuga would have passed and they must find Balram ji for marriage

Even if we consider this as completely a story or fiction, I don't think the principle of time dilation could be so aptly demonstrated just by a coincidence without any knowledge about it

I think @HearMeRoar gave a very good explanation of this. I will search for the post and try to link it.

Aside excluding her explaination, could it not be that Kunti actually got pregnant by Durwasa muni. She did Sewa of him(we know that such Sewa often results in pregnancy)

The other kids could have been the result of Niyog by humans too, if that true I can nearly bet that the biological father of Yudhishtir would have been Vidur ji

Yes!! This is something I have believed in always. In fact that would be the first guess.

I said the same in another thread, i am looking for the post. Probably in the Karna thread in this one or Star Plus MB forum.

Considering that all Kunti's kids were by Niyog from some human in Mahabharata who do you think would be the biological father of each

Yudhishtir as I said should be Vidurji since Vidurji was Dharmic to the highest order he was considered Dharmraj swaroop on earth (Dharmaraj being the father of Yudhishtir as per the epic) Aside this will also explain why he always supported Yudhishtir's claim on throne and supported him n the Pandavas, much more than Bheeshm or both Acharyas
