THE MISSING LINK OR THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL LINK

Way back in the year 1986 when I was Perusing my Masters degree in the field
of anthropology an incident of one day still haunted me until I decided to delve
into it further. My Professor Dr.D.P.Mukherjee was lecturing us about the
psychosomatological evolution of human beings. This was a series of lectures
which delved with the physical evolution from primate to being Homo sapiens.
Very interesting was the fact that we humans have developed from early apes
through the intermediates on to what we are today. Documenting this very
chronological process was a series of paleontological and palaeo
anthropological finds in terms of fossils discovered at various times in various
places. From Australopithecus to pithecanthropus erectus to homo
Neanderthals to the Cro-Magnon man to Homo sapiens to homo sapiens
sapiens. These are the major fossil finds that describe the chronology of the
physical evolution. The Australopithecus was more like a ape, but a little more
refined than the chimpanzee. The length of the arm was longer below the knees
but they had started to show bipedal gait which is a very prominent
evolutionary feature on its way to becoming a human. The cranial capacity was
about 400cc to 500cc which meant that the brain was still in the process of
development. Therefore this ancestor of ours showed little intelligence the same
level we can see in the chimpanzees. They even must have used certain tools
like the chimpanzee uses a stick to remove ants from an ant hole. Physical
evolution basically had to occur in five major directions.

1. The arms reduced in length. We might have noticed that the primates have
arms which are long enough to reach beyond the knee length. This extended
arms helped the primate to do knuckle walking as seen in the gorillas and the
chimpanzee. The reduction in the arms length was the first step towards
making a human out of a primate.

2. The thumb and the great toe came in line with the other appendages. The
ninety degree alignment of the thumb and the great toe was of great help to the
primate as they were arboreal in nature and the opposing thumb and the great
toe helped them to grasp the branches of the tree. Humans had to come down
from the tree and start living on the plains and forests and for that they needed
stability while standing and running and that is the reason for the evolution to
proceed in that direction where by the appendages aligned in line with the
others.
3. Pelvis got centered there by distributing the load effectively between the two
legs. This would give the hominid more vertical stability and hence the evolving
hominid would no longer need the tail. The tail therefore diminished and today
we humans have a remnant of the tail which is anatomically known as the
coccyx.

4. All the above three direction of evolution helped the hominid to have bipedal
gait leaving the hands totally free to do things that the intelligent brain would
direct it to do in future. With bipedal gait the vision also improved to a great
extent, accurate judgment of distance now became possible with the ability of
the brain to process the image coming from two inputs and merging them
together to give a three dimensional binocular perspective of the object.

5. The structural changes done the brain now well in its optimum place
developed from a mere 400 cc to 1500 cc. The cranial capacity increased
greatly and so did the intelligence. Level of intelligence development can be
seen quite chronologically from Australopithecus to homo erectus to homo
erectus erectus. Early hominids developed stone tools as the brain processed
the requirement and started finding solutions for those requirements. They
then started staying in large groups there by requiring some social structure
and laws to keep the group from disintegrating and also realizing that the
group functions better and viably than being individualistic. There is a clear
indication of division of labor which is a very strong indication of sophisticated
and multifaceted intelligence.

What was interesting in that lecture was the fact the next step in the physical
evolution ,the Homo Neanderthals show a tremendous spurt of intelligence
with cave drawings, more refined weapons and accessories and much more
complex social structures and rituals like the burial rituals which indicates a
very high form of intelligences and a concept of death whereby the dead is
believed to go into another world. Some sort of language also developed and
communication was established and information was being passed on from one
generation to the other. There seems to be no intermediate fossil find to prove
that the intelligence also developed chronologically to and from the level that
we find in Homo Neanderthals. Our professor explained that here is the
concept of the “missing link”.

During this period I was reading a book by Eric Von Daniken and was a great
fan of him by the time I finished reading his book Chariots of fire in which he
described that the extraterrestrial life form came upon to the earth and had
intercourse with the population of the earth and thereby the extraterrestrial
intelligence then percolated through. I also met Mr Daniken during that period
of time when he had come to visit Kolkata University. Authors like Erich von
Däniken claim that Earth was visited by extraterrestrials and that some sort of
genetic engineering was performed by these ancient astronauts. That they
created or changed the human race. For over 30 years, Erich von Däniken has
pursued the theory which postulates that Earth might have been visited by
extraterrestrials in the remote past. Erich von Däniken has become famous for
an infamous idea: that the origins of human culture lie not simply in evolution,
but in the influence of extraterrestrial beings. Beginning with his first book,
“Chariots of the Gods”, he has argued that the artifacts of ancient cultures
show evidence of these visitors, who were sometimes viewed by humans as
gods.

He referred to ancient Inca, Aztec, Egyptian and even Indian holy writings to
gather proof for his theory. In the Vedic literature of India, there are many
descriptions of flying machines that are generally called vimanas. These fall
into two categories: (l) manmade craft that resemble airplanes and fly with the
aid of birdlike wings, and (2) complex structures that fly in a mysterious
manner and are generally not made by human beings. The machines in
category (l) are described mainly in medieval, secular Sanskrit works dealing
with architecture, military siege engines, and other mechanical contrivances.
Those in category (2) are described in ancient works such as the Rig Veda, the
Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the Puranas, and they have many features
analogous of UFOs. I remember reading in the book Chariots of fire that the
Buddhist has a clear cut concept on extra terrestrial visit. In their holy
scripture there is a mention of God coming in from the heaven in a ball of fire
and emerging from that ball.

Cradled in South Africa's Krueger National Park lies a private game reserve
called Timbavati. This emerald jewel of the African bush is almost mythical in
reputation. White lions are born in here, it is said. "A long story is told about a
chieftainess called Numbi," Elder Credo recounts. "Many generations ago, she
and her people saw a burning white light like a star fall out of the sky right
where Timbavati is today. The story is that it was not a star; it was a shining
ball of metal, brighter than the Sun. When this ball came down to the ground,
Queen Numbi, who was a sick old woman at that time, went towards the light
and was swallowed by the light. In that light, very faintly seen, were strange
beings with very large heads. These beings received Numbi into the light, and
for some hours she was inside. When she emerged and walked toward her
people; she had become much younger than when she had gone into the light.
"After that star fell, stayed on the ground for some days, and then rose back
into the sky, strange things started happening there. Cattle with two heads
were born repeatedly. Lions, leopards and even impalas with snow white fur
and green eyes were born, until to this very day. This story is one of the most
amazing in Africa. Even to this day, white animals are still being born in
Timbavati. Some years ago, a snow white elephant with beautiful blue eyes and
long tusks used to roam the area, until white adventurers shot it.

Our ancestors were apt with the art and science of water. Since respecting the
Nature was inborn, water was considered divine. Rig-Veda is full of ‘shlokas’ in
praise of Water, Sun and Air, the three essentials of our environment.

The connection between the origin of the earth and water is mentioned both in
the ancient scriptures and modern science. Rig-Veda, (X.129.3) says the earth
was originally all water without light. Expert on geo-tectonics, Deming in one of
his papers published in 2004 claims that Plate Tectonics started on the earth
2.5 billion years ago. Prior to this during the first two billion years the nature of
the Earth’s crust is not known, evidences suggest formation of continental
crust through hydrolysis of primordial crust. The process must have required
huge quantities of water and that probably came from extra-terrestrial
accretion! The physico-chemical properties of water are such that it is a
universal solvent. It is this property which makes water the major carver of the
landscape of our earth. The landscape carved by water action is unique and
distinctive when viewed from the space.

“Yaapo divyaa utavaa sravanti khanitrimaa utavaa yaa swayarn jaa /

samudraartha yaa soochayapaavakaasta aap devi iha mamavantu //”

(Rig-Veda, VII 49.2)

The nature of water described in the ancient Indian scripture Rig-Veda

translates as:

‘The waters which are from heaven

and which flow after being dug,

and even those that spring by themselves,

the bright pure waters which lead to the sea,

may those divine waters protect me here’.

Having said this I would like to bring to the notice of my readers that the Vedas
are full of technological wonders and as mentioned earlier the concept of a
flying vehicle is not new. Much before the Wright brothers, deep in the history
of mankind as ancient as 9000 year BC ie 11000 years from present there is
mention of Flying vessels and that too different types of flying machines
powered by different types of fuel. One interesting concept of flying interstellar
spaces at high speed is that, one would require a flying machine which would
be exactly circular in shape. The circular shape is the ideal shape of a space
ship which has to travel in very high speed because at high speed, at speed
nearing to the speed of light, any cosmic particle if crashes with the skin of the
spaceship would have a disastrous effect but if the space ship is circular in
shape then the particles if collide with the skin of the ship would fly off
tangentially and would have very minimal impact effect on the skin of the ship.
The mention therefore of a ball of fire descending is not imagination but a
recollection from the memory. If you go to a museum to see artifacts from
ancient times, or if you read about texts written by ancient peoples, you find
many references to ‘Gods’ and ‘heavens’. It could make you wonder: what did
ancient peoples understand about the cosmos? In order to answer this
question, we should first ask another: what did they actually see? Ancient
peoples like the Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Maya and the builders of
Stonehenge could only use their eyes to observe the skies.

They had no telescopes, none of the instruments and science we have today. In
fact, many tools they used in daily life were quite primitive compared to what
we have today. On the other hand, there were no bright lights around them.
They must have looked at the skies much more often and must have been more
aware of it than we are. They must have felt emotions like awe, inspiration and
admiration when looking at the skies, and also fear of the unknown. Ancient
legends and archaeological findings from many parts of the world seem to
indicate that the skies were seen as the place where the Gods came from. Did
ancient peoples make observations and emotions into religion, as is often
assumed?

Remarkably, ancient cultures seemed to understand a lot about astronomy, to

be very advanced. They practiced astronomy. They understood that the sun
was the centre of our planetary system, they knew the planets in it, they
calculated time and seasons using the stars. They navigated the seas, which
require certain knowledge of planet Earth’s position within the universe. Come
to think of it, the sky was more important to them than the Earth - we could
say that they were more advanced in astronomy than in other areas of life.
Thanks to the work of Robert Temple, in his book entitled The Sirius Mystery,
the startling knowledge of Sirius and its dwarf companion by Africa's Dogon
tribe is widely known. The Dogon possess knowledge, such as the star system's
orbital periods and the companion star's invisibility, which cannot be
confirmed by naked eye observation, and which modern Astronomers have
learned only relatively recently. Something must have happened that caused
them to have this orientation and beliefs. For example: what if the notion that
the Gods visited Earth as some sort of astronauts is not a religious notion, not
a fantasy of primitive peoples? Maybe some ancients actually saw them? Maybe
they actually interacted with them, maybe they had things done to them?

Another famous proponent of such ideas is Zecharia Sitchin. Sitchin has made
an in-depth study of ancient Sumerian clay tablets. More specifically, Sitchin
attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the "Annunaki" (or
"Nephilim"), a race of aliens from a planet he calls Nibiru. According to
Sitchin's interpretation of Sumerian cosmology, there is an undiscovered planet
which follows a long, elliptical orbit, reaching the inner solar system roughly
every 3,600 years. This planet is called Nibiru (the planet associated with
Marduk in Babylonian cosmology). Nibiru was the home of a technologically
advanced human-like extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki in Sumerian
myth, which Sitchin states are called the Nephilim in Genesis! He asserts that
Sumerian mythology reflects this view, though his speculations are entirely
discounted by professional scientists, historians, and archaeologists, who note
many problems with his translations of ancient texts and with his
understanding of physics. He states that gods or “Annunaki” from the planet
Nibiru arrived on Earth 450,000 years ago created the ancient Sumerian
culture. According to him, the planet Nibiru orbits our Sun every 3,600 years
so the Annunaki will probably return in the near future. The Sumerian
Civilization is considered by many scholars as one of the oldest human
civilization on Earth, arising in the lower Tigris-Euphrates region (modern day
Southern Iraq), ending roughly 2000 BCE (Before Current Era – 4000 years ago
from today), and beginning thousands of years prior to that time. This
civilization appeared seemingly out of nowhere as a highly advanced, thriving
culture circa 4000 BCE (although the Sumerians as a culture may have arrived
as early as 8500 BCE, or even much earlier). In what is considered by some
scholars “the most crucial event in human history” (3), the Sumerians
developed a highly sophisticated system of irrigation and agriculture, quickly
established magnificent cities, advanced governing laws, and a written
language. It was as if these humans had help in developing their civilization!
The Sumerian ancient literature included the Anunnaki, in all respects the
gods and goddesses (and lesser deities) of this ancient civilization.

“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of
men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose...
There were nephilim in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the
sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to
them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” --
Genesis 6:1-4 [emphasis added] Nephilim is often translated as “giants”, a
legitimate and possibly appropriate interpretation but one which may be only
partially accurate. A better definition might be “those who came down”, “those
who descended”, or “those who were cast down.” The Anunnaki of ancient
Sumerian texts are similarly defined as “those who from heaven to earth came”.
Sitchin (4), Gardner (5), and Bramley (6) have all identified the Nephilim as the
Anunnaki, although the term may apply more specifically to essentially the
rank and file of these particular extraterrestrials. Virtually all open-minded
historical and theological scholars agree that the Old Testament’s Book of
Genesis was extracted from older Sumerian records, circa 600 BCE. The
Enuma Elish (the Sumerian Epic of Creation) and Genesis have a variety of
common elements. Stories of a Great Flood and Deluge are also common to
both Sumerian and Biblical accounts. An inevitable conclusion is that the
Anunnaki were as real as Noah, Moses or Abraham.

Laurence Gardner (5) has written: “Every item of written and pictorial
attestation confirms that the ancient Sumerians were absolutely sincere about
the existence of the Anunnaki, and those such as Enki, Enlil, Nin-khursag and
Inanna fulfilled earthly functions with designated community duties. They were
patrons and founders; they were teachers and justices; they were technologists
and kingmakers. They were jointly and severally venerated as archons and
masters, but there were certainly not idols of religious worship as the ritualistic
gods of subsequent cultures became. In fact, the word which was eventually
translated to become ‘worship’ was avod, which meant quite simply, ‘work’. The
Anunnaki presence may baffle historians, their language may confuse linguists
and their advanced techniques may bewilder scientists, but to dismiss them is
foolish. The Sumerians have themselves told us precisely who the Anunnaki
were, and neither history nor science can prove otherwise.”
The Sumerian records recorded in great detail the stories of the Anunnaki, and
among these, that of Enki, Enlil, Ninki, Inanna, Utu, Ningishzida, Marduk, and
many others. Chief among these stories was the continuing conflict between
Enki and Enlil, the sons of the supreme “god” of the time, Anu. Much of
ancient human history, and the Biblical Genesis, can be explained as the
militant differences between these two half-brothers, and how they affected the
life of all sentient beings on Earth. The Anunnaki were more than just a pair of
squabbling half-brothers. They were the council of Gods and Goddesses, who
periodically met to consider their future actions with respect to each other, and
probably as a smaller, nondescript item on their agenda, the fate of mankind.
The Anunnaki, depending upon the context, were the Nephilim, the gods that
Abraham’s father, Terah, was reputed to have served (according to the book of
Joshua), the fallen angels, the lesser individuals of the race from which Anu,
Enki, Enlil, Inanna and the other notables had sprung, and the “judges” over
the question of life and death. They were in fact the bene ha-elohim, which
translates as “the sons of the gods”, or equally likely, “the sons of the
goddesses.” For example, from Psalms 82:

“Jehovah takes his stand at the Council of El to deliver judgment among the
elohim.”

“You too are gods, sons of El Elyon, all of you.”

According to Zecharia Sitchin and his interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts

(4), the Anunnaki were extraterrestrials (aka “angels”), who were an extremely
long-lived race, potentially living as long as 500,000 years. Laurence Gardner
(5) reduces this to more on the order of 50,000 years, and notes specifically
that the Anunnaki were not immortal. He point out that no records are
currently extant which relate to their natural deaths, but the violent deaths of
Apsu, Tiamat, Mummu, and Dumu-zi are provided in some detail. While
Sitchin and Gardner may disagree with the extent of the long lives of the
Anunnaki and other specifics, it is clear that these gods and goddesses, baring
accidents or “Anunnaki-cide”, lived a very long time. It might also be theorized
that because of their long lives, they did not quite move in “the fast lane” -- at
least to the extent humans do. This difference in the pace of a lifestyle could be
fundamentally important in that the human life span -- while enormously brief
as compared to the Anunnaki -- might be compensated in the form of humans
possessing an ability to achieve a great deal in a relatively short time. The
creativity of a shortened and thus highly motivated lifespan is likely to be
enormously greater than that of an Anunnaki resting on his or her laurels. This
may also relate to why the Anunnaki bother with mankind. Humans may act
as workers to accomplish the Anunnaki’s agenda but an accelerated creativity
may be even more desirable from the extraterrestrial view.

The connection between humans and the Anunnaki is much more profound
than that of masters and slaves, however. The evidence from Sumerian

literature and records strongly advocates the concept that Adam and Eve and
their ancestors were created by the genetic engineering and mixing of the DNA
of the Anunnaki and that of Homo erectus, the reigning progenitor of the
species of man at the time. More importantly, the evidence suggests that the
group of extraterrestrials called the Anunnaki were responsible for the genetic
experiments (circa 250,000 B.C.E.) which transformed Homo erectus into
Homo sapiens. This was done by combining the Anunnaki DNA with the DNA
of the early ancestor of man. From there, presumably, man further evolved into
the modern version, Homo sapiens sapiens, potentially due to continuing
intervention by the Anunnaki.

The implication, of course, is that there is no “missing link” in the

evolution of mankind from the apes, but in fact a quantum leap, an
intervention by an extraterrestrial intelligence. As has been reported
elsewhere in some detail (10) evolutionary theory and intervention by an
intelligence (the latter aspect more general and valid than any so-called
“Intelligent Design”) are not competing theories so much as complementary
ones. Evolution continues on a more or less routine basis, but nothing in
evolution prohibits occasional interventions. It is obvious, for example, that
mankind is intervening in the normal process of evolution, sometimes to the
detriment of various species, i.e. neither by design nor particularly intelligent.

Vedic civilization is older than the Sumerian civilization and all other
civilization that evolved in the face of the earth. In my earlier articles I have
tried to establish that very fact, with some valid points and proofs. Sanskrit
was the language that was used by the Vedic civilization to propagate
knowledge. The language itself is a tremendous proof of intelligence, an
intelligence factor that does not seem to be earthly. According to a research
article published in German’s forbes magazine in July 1987 Sanksrit is THE
BEST language spoken by humans which can be used like a programming
language to develop software!! This is because unlike all other human
languages the grammar and syntax of Sanskrit is scientifically well defined, so
that a computer can understand it and it can be programmed logically.

The sound of each of the 36 consonants and the 16 vowels of Sanskrit are fixed
and precise since its very creation. They were never changed, altered, improved
or modified. All the words of the Sanskrit language always had the same
pronunciation as they have today. There was no sound shift, no change in the
vowel system, and no addition was ever made in the grammar of the Sanskrit
in relation to the formation of the words. The reason is its absolute perfection
by its own nature and formation, because it was the first language of the world.

When a language is spoken by unqualified people the pronunciation of the

word changes to some extent; and when these words travel by word of mouth
to another region of the land, with the gap of some generations, it permanently
changes its form and shape to some extent. Just like the Sanskrit word matri,
with a long “a” and soft “t”, became mater in Greek and mother in English. The
last two words are called the “apbhransh” (deformed forms) of the original
Sanskrit word “matri”. Such apbhranshas of Sanskrit words are found in all
the languages of the world and this situation itself proves that Sanskrit was the
mother language of the world. –

Sanskrit is an alien language that was brought to earth by those aliens

(ancient Indians including sages and warriors) who came to earth from their
mother planet. They came to earth pre vedic period and their era on earth is
the vedic period at the end of which the Mahabharatha war happened which
definitely was a nuclear war (based on the descriptions of weapons provided in
mahabharatha which clearly is identified as a nuclear weapon by many experts
including Oppenheimer- The father of modern atomic bomb) and also based on
the fact that Mahabharatha says that in the final great war over 14 billion
people were killed in a matter of less than 3 weeks!! Note: Current population
of earth is 6 billion!!

Vedas are ancient Indian texts written in Sanskrit. Vedas are the total
compilation of the scientific and technological knowledge of the people of the
vedic era which was taught to the people on the earth by the alien visitors.
First they set up ashrams (schools) here to teach the local inhabitants of earth
Sanskrit. Then they wanted to teach the people of earth all the knowledge they
had. For this purpose Veda Vyasa, a chief scientist compiled all the knowledge
they had then in the form of four vedas. That is the reason vyasa is called Veda
Vyasa. He also documented the history then till end of mahabharatha war in
the form of the world’s largest epic Mahabharatha.

Veda itself in sanskrit means “Complete knowledge” !! It is a very wrong notion

for people to think that vedas are just hymns in the praise of gods and
godesses. I feel sorry when I see vedas being used in temples of India today just
to praise gods and godesses by the priests. Vedas are much more than that. If
they were just hymns or praises then why is the so well established vedic
mathematics a part of vedas??

Vedic mathematics is purely mental mathematics, people can even do modern

calculus and trigonometry with a greater ease if they know vedic mathematics.
A lot of VEDIC MATHEMATICS is been taught in many schools in the west
today in the name of MENTAL MATHEMATICS !! By the way of the four vedas
which Vyasa compiled vedic mathematics is a part of Atharva Veda and it
makes a lot of sense to be so because Atharva Veda is all about engineering
technologies.

Mathematical secrets of the universe are mentioned in the Vedas like a time
cycle of 4,320,000,000 years and names for numbers from one to ten to ten
followed by twelve zeroes (1,000,000,000,000,000). The zodiacal number 360
and its divisions and derivatives are common in Vedic texts. Vedic mantras are
said to be inherent in the rays of the Sun. Noted Vedic scholar Subhash Kak
has found a planetary code in the numbering of the books of the Rig Veda.[xi]

“Everybody knows the speed of light is 186,000 miles which is actually

discovered in 1675 by ROMAR. But the hymn 1.50 of the Rigveda on the Sun,
says

[O Sun] you who traverse 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesa.The usual meaning of
yojana is about 9 miles as in the Artha´saastra and for nimisha.

The measures of time are thus defined in the Puranas:

15 nimesa = 1 kastha

30kastha= 1 kala

30 kala = 1 muhurta

30 muhurta = 1 day-and-night

A nimesa is therefore equal to 16/75 seconds. It does come very close to the
correct figure of 186,000 miles per second.”

Vedic astrology contains an extensive knowledge not only of the planets, signs
and houses but of the 27 Nakshatras or lunar constellations going back to the
Vedas.[xii] The Vedas relate the Nakshatras to various deities and rishis and
states that after death the soul can travel to the star it is most connected to in
life. The mythology of the Nakshatras is quite profound and helps us
understand the ancient star lore of many cultures.
Vedic astrology divides the lunar month of twenty nine and a half solar days
into thirty equal lunar days or tithis. This amounts to 371 tithis in a solar year
of 365 days. The number of deities in the Rig Veda are 3339, or 371 X the
mystic number 9, reflecting the importance of the influence of the Moon. The
Vedas were oriented to astronomical influences of a profound order and at
perhaps a much earlier date than that of Babylonia. Besides the knowledge
side of the Vedas, there are also important historical implications of the Vedic
literature. Vedic literature along with the current state of archaeology and
genetics suggests a much longer history for the Vedas in India, perhaps
extending into the Ice Age Period. It suggests that the Vedic idea of previous
cycles of civilization may indeed reflect Ice Age cultures. For example, the
Puranas regard agriculture the creation of Manu Chakshusha, the fourth
Manu, before the fifth Manu Vivasvan of the flood. We do note that agriculture
began already in the late Ice Age period more than ten thousand years ago.

Dr. Richard L.Thompson’s book, page 216-217. Here, he discusses the various
"powers" known as siddhis that cosmic or extraterrestrial beings visiting earth
at the time, ["Vedic humanoids,"] frequently discussed in the Vedas, had
readily available to them. These siddhis were also said to be available to certain
illuminated human masters as well: Mental communication and thought-
reading. These are standard among Vedic humanoids, but normal speech
through sound is also generally used. Being able to see or hear at a great
distance.

Laghima-siddhi: levitation or antigravity. There is also a power of creating

tremendous weight.

Anima- and mahima-siddhis: the power to change the size of objects or living
bodies without disrupting their structure.

Prapti-siddhi: the power to move objects from one place to another, apparently
without crossing the intervening space. This power is connected with the ability
to travel into parallel, higher-dimensional realms.

The ability to move objects directly through the ether, without being impeded
by gross physical obstacles. This type of travel is called vihayasa. There is also
a type of travel called mano-java, in which the body is directly transferred to a
distant point by the action of the mind.

Vasita-siddhi: the power of long-distance hypnotic control. Vedic accounts

point out that this power can be used to control people’s thoughts from a
distance.
Antardhana, or invisibility.

The ability to assume different forms or to generate illusory body forms.

The power of entering within another person’s body and controlling it. This is
done using the subtle body Although many "academics" would automatically
throw out these ideas as being far too mind-bending to be real, there are
repeated examples of many of these "siddhis" appearing in ordinary people in
our modern age. Michael Talbot’s incredible book The Holographic Universe
covers these types of events in great detail. In Dr. Thompson’s book, a far-
reaching series of correlations are made between these phenomena as
expressed in the Vedas and the many various UFO reports that have come
about in this wide-ranging field. Simply put, we can see that a society that
could command abilities like those listed above would be truly extraordinary,
and would obviously be viewing life from a much different perspective than that
which we now have.

Returning to our immediate discussion regarding extraterrestrials, Dr.

Thompson reveals the Vedic perspective on the nature and abundance of
extraterrestrial life on the page before the above list is given:

The Puranas speak of 400,000 humanlike races of beings living on various

planets and of 8,000,000 other life forms, including plants and lower animals.
Out of the 400,000 humanlike forms, human beings as we know them are said
to be among the least powerful. This, of course, ties in with the picture that
emerges from accounts of UFO encounters.

Clearly, our current society does not have open contact with our alleged
visitors. In a society that did have such contact, the view of the Universe would
indeed be very different - especially with the knowledge that humankind was
"among the least powerful" of the other races of beings that it was aware of.
And yet, even though it was still in the kindergarten version of universal
evolution, at that time the Rama / Atlantean civilization possessed inner
qualities and outer technology that are only just now becoming tangible for us.

It is important that we note that although some vimana appear to have been
airplanes, there were other designs in use that apparently go far beyond any
technology that we now openly possess. The most important Vedic text on the
vimana, says Childress in Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India and Atlantis, is the
Vaimanika Sastra, first reported to have been found in 1918 in the Baroda
Royal Sanskrit Library. One of the most vivid descriptions of ancient astronaut
visitations can be deducted from the Vedic literature of India. In it are many
descriptions of machines or chariots that are flying through the sky. These
flying objects are named “vimanas”.

In 1875, the Vaimanika Sastra, a fourth century B.C. text written by

Bharadvajy the Wise, using even older texts as his source, was rediscovered in
a temple in India. It dealt with the operation of Vimanas and included
information on the steering, precautions for long flights, protection of the
airships from storms and lightening and how to switch the drive to "solar
energy" from a free energy source which sounds like "anti-gravity”!

Many excerpts of ancient sanskrit texts refer to the vimanas: "two storey sky
chariots with many windows, ejecting red flame, that race up into the sky until
they look like comets . . . to the regions of both the sun and the stars."
(Mahabharata) "Now Vata’s chariot’s greatness! Breaking goes it, And
Thunderous is its noise, To heaven it touches, Makes light lurid [a red fiery
glare], and whirls dust upon the earth.” (Rig Vedas) "An aerial chariot, the
Pushpaka, conveys many people to the capital of Ayodhya. The sky is full of
stupendous flying-machines, dark as night,but picked out by lights with a
yellowish glare." (Mahavira)

“Bhima flew with his Vimana on an enormous ray which was as brilliant as the
sun and made a noise like the thunder of a storm." (Ramayana)

“He traveled in that way through the various planets, as the air passes
uncontrolled in every direction. Coursing through the air in that great and
splendid aerial mansion, which could fly at his will, he surpassed even the
demigods.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam)

According to the Rig-Veda, an ancient king of India named Salva, acquired a

flying machine from Maya Danava, who lived in Taltala, another planetary
system. This and many other parts of the Sanskrit texts indicate that
extraterrestrial life was a common knowledge at that time.

One might argue that the references to flying machines and beings from other
planets are just a symbolic way to depict the Hindu gods, but the fact that five
thousand years ago the Indian civilization already knew about different
planetary systems, admitted life in other planets, could envision air machines
powered by engines and pulses, is intriguing enough. It’s important to
remember that only fairly recently did the western world admit that the earth
isn’t the centre of the universe and even today some people find it impossible to
imagine life in other planets.

Vedas are called Apaurusheya meaning ‘NOT of human origin’, and only the
contents of which were directly revealed to man.

If it is not of human origin, then who wrote it? God? Well, it is said that the
vedas came out directly from the mouth of Brahma, and Brahma as we know
represents the physical universe . And that Brahma got it from Vishnu, who
represents the eternal multiverse that exists beyond our local temporary
universe Brahma (which was a product of Bigbang). So? what does it really
mean?

The very meaning of the word “veda” is knowledge, complete knowledge. The
root word is “vid” which means ‘to know’ or ‘knowledge’ in Sanskrit.

It refers to the universal knowledge which is timeless and eternal. It is like

saying quantum mechanics or relativity is Apaurusheya, and we can certainly
say that because it is the ever existing law of nature, humans only discovered
it, and it existed even before we discovered it. So are the vedas which are
encyclopedia of ancient knowledge which was compiled together by Vyasa.
Vyasa is NOT the original author of vedas, he only collected and compiled it.
Just like the way today anybody can collect and compile all the knowledge we
humans have in different fields of science like physics, chemistry, biology etc.

So when we say that vedic texts are apaurusheya meaning not of human
origin, all it means is that they are scientific laws, the laws of the universe.
Which is why we also see in the vedas references to various authors (both male
and female) who wrote different parts of the vedas. There are also numerous
references of female authors (about 27 of them) like Ghosha, Maitreyi, Gargi,
Lopamudra etc who authored many of the vedic hymns. Yet the vedic texts are
called Apaurusheya i.e being eternal without any author.

If ancient India was as modern as excavations show, many argue that it doesn’t
seem absurd that these people had flying machines that reached other planets
and kept contact with inhabitants of other solar systems. According to the
Ramayana, the Rama empire would have happened fifteen-thousand years ago,
at the same time that Atlantis would have existed. Both civilizations share a
similar story, that of the advanced territory that were visited by the gods, but
vanished all of sudden. Would the same cataclysm that made Atlantis
disappear under the waters, be responsible for the end of India’s high-tech
society? The answer is all over the ancient Sanskrit texts, in between the lines.

Mt. Kailash, at 6714 m also known as Tise, Kailasa & Kang Rinpoche(Jewel of
the Snows), has since time immemorial been celebrated in many Eastern
cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis mundi. And as the center of the physical &
metaphysical universe, Mt. Meru is sacred to the Buddhist, Jains, the Hindus
& the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the mountain represents the seat of Lord Shiva;
for the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the cosmic mandala of Dhyani-
Buddhas & Boddhisatvas….The Wheel of Life; for the Bonpos, Kailash was the
sacred nine storey Swastika Mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder Sherab
alighted from heaven.

The Buddha preached the teachings of the Kalacakra to an assembly of holy

men in southern India. Afterwards, the teachings remained hidden for 1,000
years until an Indian yogi-scholar went in search of Shambhala and was
initiated into the teachings by a holy man he met along the way. The Kalacakra
then remained in India until it made its way to Tibet in 1026. Since then the
concept of Shambhala has been widely known in Tibet, and Tibetans have been
studying the Kalacakra for the least 900 years, learning its science, practicing
its meditation, and using its system of astrology to guide their lives. As one
Tibetan lama put it, how could Shambhala be the source of something, which
has affected so many areas of Tibetan life for so long and yet not exist?

Tibetan religious texts describe the physical makeup of the hidden land in
detail. It is thought to look like and eight-petaled lotus blossom because it is
made up of eight regions, each surrounded by a ring of mountains. In the
center of the innermost ring lies Kalapa, the capital, and the king palace, which
is composed of gold, diamonds, coral, and precious gems. The capital is
surrounded by mountains made of ice, which shine with a crystalline light. The
technology of Shambhala is supposed to be highly advanced. The palace
contains special skylights made of lenses which serve as high-powered
telescopes to study extraterrestrial life, and for hundreds of years Shambhala?s
inhabitants have been using aircraft and cars that shuttle through a network
of underground tunnels. On the way to enlightenment, Shambhalans acquire
such powers clairvoyance, the ability to move at great speeds, and the ability to
materialize and disappear at will.

There are many other legends in the world that abound today about the
extraterrestrial visitations and legends are collective memory of things and
incidents that have happened in the past like the legends of the great flood. So
if there is a legend which is in essence common to many populations and races
then we can safely say that such an incident did happen in very distant past.
Throughout the history of the Near East it was known that the Sumerians
claimed their civilization really began to flower when they made contact with a
sky creature who flew down into the sea in a ship. Note this creature was not
described as a god, and not as an angel, just as another real living creature.
Like our amphibians this creature needed to live near and in water. In fact
when portrayed in Near East sculpture he is carved half man-half fish.
Apparently, it met repeatedly with a Sumerian native on a beach and gave him
many of its secrets, among them the gift of the alphabet/writing. This legend,
or story, was passed down through generations and numerous tribes including
the Babylonians.

The Reg-Veda, considered to be the holiest of Hindu texts, speaks of a god who
rode in a fast flying “car.” His “car” had a gleaming, flashing quality, and
produced a roaring sound that shook the Earth as it flew through the sky.

Ancient myths and legends also speak of visitors who came from the stars.
Persian myths tell of “giants and demons” that corrupted the earth, and “allied
themselves with women.”

Pre-Incan Tribes record visits by giant men who sported beards and came from
the constellation Taurus.

Aztec and Toltec legends referred to a god by the name of Quetzacoatl, also
known as the “sky god.” He was said to be fair complexioned and bearded,
unlike the dark-skinned tribesmen.

The legends of the Sioux and Crow tribes of North America tell of their blood
relationship to a group of Extraterrestrials, referred to as the “Star Nations,”
who visited Earth from the Pleiades star cluster, long ago. The argument could
be made that religious, mythical, and legendary accounts of history are purely
subjective and anecdotal. However, science and truth would not be served by
dismissing out of hand, all of the descriptive similarities of these beings and
their flying machines, descriptions that reach across cultures, geography, and
time.

High in the mountains of BayanKara-Ula, on the boarders of China and Tibet -

a team of archeologists were conducting a very detailed routine survey of a
series of interlinked caves. Their interests had been excited by the discovery of
lines of neatly arranged graves which contained the skeletons of what must
have been a strange race of human beings; strange because they had
unnaturally spindly bodies and large, over-developed heads.

At first, it had been thought that the caves had been the home of a hitherto
unkown species of ape. But as the leader of the team - the Chinese
archeologist, Professor Chi Pu Tei - pointed out, "Who ever heard of apes
burying each other?" It was while studying the skeletons that one of the team
stumbled on a large, round stone disk, half buried in the dust on the floor of
the cave. The team gathered round the discovery, turning it this way and that.
It looked, absurdly, like a kind of 'Stone Age Gramophone record'. There was a
hole in the center and a fine, spiral groove radiated to the rim. Closer
inspection, however, showed that the groove was, in fact, a continous spiralling
line of closely written characters. The object was a 'record' ... in more ways
then one. Only nobody at the time - the year was 1938 - possessed the key to
its incredible message.

The disc was labeled and filed away among other finds in the area. Even those
who knew of its existence knew nothing of its meaning. Many experts tried to
translate the hieroglyphs in the 20 years the disc languished in Peking. They
all failed. It was not until another professor -Dr. Tsum Um Nui - broke the code
and started to decipher the 'speaking grooves' that the extraordinary
implications of the disc were realized. Realized, that is, only by only a select
few. The outside world remained in ignorance. For the professor's conclusions
on the neaning of the disc were so shattering that they were offically
suppressed. The Peking Academy of Pre-History forbade him to publish his
findings. Two years later, in 1965, the professor and four of his colleagues
were finally given permission to reveal their theory. It appeared under the long-
winded but intriguing title, "The Grooved Script concerning Space-ships which,
as recorded on the Discs, landed on Earth 12,000 years ago".

The 'records' - 716 of the grooved discs were later uncovered in the same caves
- told an astonishing story of a 'space probe' by the inhabitants of another
planet which came to grief in the Bayan-Kara-Ula mountain range. The
strange, spiral script told how the peaceful intentions of the 'aliens' had been
misunderstood and how many of them were hunted down and killed by
members of the Ham tribe, who lived in the neighboring caves. According to
Tsum Um Nui, one of the lines of the hieroglyphs read, "The Dropas came down
from the clouds in their aircraft. Our men, women and children hid in the
caves ten times before sunrise. When at last they understood the sign language
of the Dropas, they realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions...
Another section expressed 'regret' by the Ham tribe that the aliens' spaceship
had crash-landed in such a remote and inaccessible mountains and that there
had been no way to building a new one to enable Dropas to return to their own
planet.

In the years since the discovery of the first disc, archeologists and
anthropologists had learned more about the isolated Bayan-Kara-Ula area. And
much of the information seemed to corroborate the bizarre story recorded on
the discs.

Legend still preserved in the area spoke of small, gaunt, yellow faced men who
'came from the clouds, long, long ago'. The men had huge, bulging heads and
puny bodies and were so ugly and repellent that they were hounded down by
local tribesmen on horseback. Strangely, the description of the 'invaders' tallied
with the skeletons orginally discovered in the caves by Professor Chi Pu Tei. On
the walls of the caves themselves archeologists had uncovered crude pictures
of the rising Sun, the Moon, unidentifiable stars and the Earth... all joined
together by lines of pea-sized dots. Along with the discs, the cave drawings had
been dated around 12,000 years old. The cave area was still inhabited by two
semi-troglodyte tribes known as the Hams and the Dropas, themselves
extremely odd in appearance. The frail and stunted tribesmen averaged only
about five feet in height and were neither typically Chinese nor Tibetan. "Their
racial ack-ground," said one expert, "is a mystery."But even with the
publications of Professor Tsum Um Nui's amazing translation, the story of the
'space discs' was not over. Russian scientists asked to see the discs and several
were sent to Moscow for examination. They were scraped free of rock particles
which had stuck to them and then put through chemical analysis. To the
suprise of the scientists, they we found to contain large amounts of cobalt and
other metallic substances. That was not all. When placed on a special turntable
- according to Dr. Vyatcheslav Saizev, who described the experiments in the
Soviet magazine Sputnik - they vibrated or 'hummed' in an unusual rhythm as
though an electic charge was passing through them. Or as one scientist
suggested, "as if they formed some part of an electrical circuit." At some time,
they had clearly been exposed to extraordinarily high votages.

Did the discs actually record an abortive space mission by alien astronauts
12,000 years ago? Nearly all the leading 'space speculators' - theorists like
Erich von Daniken and Peter Kolosimo -

Greek 'Mythology' is all that's left of the ancient Greek religion. About 1200
b.c.e., the residents of what we would call, Greece and Asia Minor shared a
common, undisputed view in a group of deities from the heavens that came to
be known as The Olympians.

Von Daniken's (Odyssey of the Gods) exhausting research suggests the Greek
'gods' were in fact extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth thousands of
years ago. Archaeological evidence and the writings of the ancients, including
Aristotle, prove these gods interbred with humans, performed genetic
experiments, and bred 'mythical' creatures, such as centaurs and Cyclops.
Greek gods were a way of explaining the unexplainable in a person's life. These
gods, described as the perfect humans. According to Greek mythology, there
once was a time when great events had occurred and the gods had involved
themselves in human affairs. These gods were described as the "perfect
humans"

Even today we are visited by the extraterrestrial and the famous Roswell
incident is not a distant past it is fairly recent. When I sit in my pensive mood
as the poet did long time ago when he penned down the poem “The daffodils” I
too hit upon my inward eye to ask me myself a question and that is where we
would have been if we had to evolve with the intelligence that we had in the
Homo erectus? Is my physical self a part of this earth and my conscious and
intelligence state is that of some other planet? I was so happy with the
achievements that I had done so far only to realize that had we not got the gift
from our well wishers who are there somewhere deep in the space these
achievements would not have been possible. OR did the gift of INTELLIGENCE
come out of sheer carnal pleasures of some race deep in the space?? WHERE
DID WE COME FROM? Drawing upon a wealth of research into archeology,
genetics, reincarnation memories, out-of-body experiences, parapsychology,
cross cultural cosmology, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence,
Cremo provides a refreshing perspective on human origins according to the
ancient philosophy of India. In their controversial bestseller Forbidden
Archeology, Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson documented evidence
showing that humans have existed on earth for hundreds of millions of years.
Such anomalous evidence, contradicting Darwinian evolution, catalyzed a
global inquiry: If we did not evolve from apes then where did we come from?
Human Devolution is Michael A. Cremo's definitive answer to that question: We
did not evolve up from matter; instead we devolved, or came down, from the
real of pure consciousness, spirit. Basing his response on modern science and
the world's great wisdom traditions, including the Vedic philosophy of ancient
India, Cremo proposes that before we ask the question, Where did human
beings come from? we should first contemplate, What is a human being?
