Great Indian Scientist and Sanskrit Scholar Shivakar Bapuji Talpade belonging to
Pathare Prabhu community born in 1864 at Chirra Bazar Dukkar Wadi of
Bombay invented vimana based as per Maharishi Bharadwaja's Vaimanika Shastra
Vedic Texts of Rigveda using ION Mercury Vortex Engine using charged electric
particles intead of stream of hot gases.ION mercury vapour and solar boiler used to
give thrust for flight. His aircraft test flight in june 1895 at Choupatty Beach of
Bombay (Mumbai, Maharastra, India) before Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad-III of
Vadodara and Bombay High Court Judge Mahadeva Govinda Ranade and large
audience.
His Vimana flew upto 1500 feet Unmanned and remained in air for seventeen
minutes. His Vimana was called as Marutsakha or Marutsakthi meaning friend of air
or power of air. Keshari newspaper of Pune edited by Renowned freedom fighter Bal

At Vile Parle, his Airplane's model was already shown during Aviation Exhibition.
It is said that NASA is developing ION mercury vortex engine which uses charged
electric particles for propulsion as per Vedic texts and Hitler and Germans also used
Indian Ancient science for developing Airplane.
After our Talpade's death his relative sold the airplane to Rally Brothers in 1917 who
was leading British Exporting Company. Rally Brothers exported his Aircraft to
Britain for further research and development work but since then nobody knows the
whereabouts of this greatest scientific invention. Why not his Aircraft and its drawing
made public and preserved in museum by British Government? British Government
requested to investigate the matter immediately to reveal truth to the whole world. All
truth and jusice loving British Peoples must persuade their government to start
discovery of missing aircraft. By doing such an act British peoples and British
government may retain their reputation as Great justice lovers.
Indian Government showed total negligence in this matter which is very serious
thing. Indian Government must start search mission for this greatest
invention without further delay. Indian peoples must start movement to persuade
Government for strating Greatest Discovery Mission.
Small Scientific work or Inventions generally kept safe in museum and properly
documented but why deliberate negligence in this matter?

Vedic Science
Describing the Science in Vedas
The Rig Veda, the oldest document of the human race includes references to the
following modes of transportation: Jalayan – a vehicle designed to operate in air
and water (Rig Veda 6.58.3); Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in
water. (Rig Veda 9.14.1); Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories. (Rig Veda

Vaimaanika Shastra explains the metals and alloys and other required material,
which can be make an aircraft imperishable in any condition. Planes which will
not break (abhedya), or catch fire (adaahya) and which cannot be cut
(achchedya) have been described. Along with the treatise there are diagrams of
three types of aeroplanes – “Sundara”, “Shukana” and “Rukma”.
The aircraft is classified into three types- Mantrika, Tantrika and Kritaka, to suit
different yugas or eras. In kritayuga, it is said, Dharma was well established.
The people of that time had the devinity to reach any place using their
Ashtasiddhis. The aircraft used in Tretayuga are called Mantrikavimana, flown by
the power of hymns (mantras). Twenty-five varieties of aircraft including
Pushpaka Vimana belong to this era. The aircraft used in Dwaparayuga were
called Tantrikavimana, flown by the power of tantras. Fifty six varieties of
aircraft including Bhairava and Nandaka belong to this era. The aircraft used in

Kaliyuga, the on-going yuga, are called Kritakavimana, flown by the power of
engines. Twenty-five varieties of aircraft including “Sundara”, “Shukana” and
“Rukma” belong to this era.
It appears that aerial warfare was also not unknown, for the treatise gives the
technique of “shatru vimana kampana kriya” and “shatru vimana nashana kriya”
i.e. shaking and destroying enemy aircraft, as well as photographing enemy
planes, rendering their occupants unconscious and making one`s own plane
invisible.
In Vastraadhikarana, the chapter describing the dress and other wear required
while flying, talks in detail about the wear for both the pilot and the passenger
separately.
Ahaaraadhikarana is yet another section exclusively dealing with the food habits
of a pilot. This has a variety of guidelines for pilots to keep their health through
strict diet.
As before Bharadwaja, after him too there have been Sanskrit writers on
aeronautics and there were four commentaries on his work. The names of the
commentators are Bodh Deva, Lalla, Narayana Shankha and Vishwambhara.
Evidence of existence of aircrafts are also found in the Arthasastra of Kautilya (c.
3rd century B.C.). Kautilya mentions amongst various tradesmen and
technocrats the Saubhikas as `pilots conducting vehicles in the sky`. Saubha
was the name of the aerial flying city of King Harishchandra and the form
`Saubika` means `one who flies or knows the art of flying an aerial city`.
Page 7 of 12
अमृतमंथन: राईट बंधूं या आधी िवमानो ाण करणारा भारतीय !!
Kautilya uses another significant word `Akasa Yodhinah`, which has been
translated as `persons who are trained to fight from the sky.` The existence of
aerial chariots, in whatever form it might be, was so well-known that it found a
place among the royal edicts of the Emperor Asoka which were executed during
his reign from 256 B.C. – 237 B. C.
But perhaps the most interesting thing, about the Indian science of aeronautics
and Bharadwaja`s research in the field was that they were successfully tested in
actual practice by an Indian over hundred years ago. In 1895, full eight years
before the Wright Brothers` first flight at Kitty hawk, North Carolina, USA,
Shivkar Bapuji Talpade and his wife gave a thrilling demonstration flight on the
Chowpatty beach in Mumbai.
An even more astonishing feature of Talpade’s aircraft was the power source he
used- An Ion Engine. The theory of the Ion Engine has been credited to Robert
Goddard, long recognized as the father of Liquid-fuel Rocketry. It is claimed that
in 1906, long before Goddard launched his first modern rocket, his imagination
had conceived the idea of an Ion rocket. But the fact is that not only had the
idea of an Ion Engine been conceived long before Dr Goddard, it had also been
materialized in the form of Talpade’s aircraft.

engines in the plane and Bharadwaja adds that they are worked by electricity.
Mr. Talpade carried on his research along these lines and constructed an
aeroplane. In his experiments he was aided by his wife, also a deep scholar of
the Vedic lore, and an architect friend. The plane combined the constructional
characteristics of both “Pushpaka” and “Marut Sakha”, the sixth and eighth types
of aircraft described by Bharadwaja. It was named “Marut Sakha” meaning
“Friend of the Wind”.
With this plane this pioneer airman of modern India gave a demonstration flight
on the Chowpatty Beach in Mumbai in the year 1895. The machine attained a
height of about 1500 feet and then automatically landed safely. The flight was
witnessed, among many others, by Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad, the Maharaja of
Baroda and Justice Govind Ranade and was reported in “The Kesari” a leading
Marathi daily newspaper. They were impressed by the feat and rewarded the
talented inventor.
Unfortunately Talpade lost interest in things after his wife`s death, and after his
own death in 1917 at the age of 53 his relatives sold the machine to Rally
Brothers, a leading British exporting firm then operating in Mumbai. Thus the
first ever attempt at flying in modern India, undertaken and made successful by
an Indian, in a plane of Indian manufacture and built to Indian scientific
specifications, slid into the limbo of oblivion.

Hundred years after Orville Wright’s first flight, K R N SWAMY remembers Shivkur Bapuji Talpade,
the Indian who flew an unmanned aircraft, eight years before Wright.
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vimanas/esp_vimanas_8.htm
The Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Bapuji Talpade designed an unmanned aircraft called
Marutsakthi (meaning Power of Air) based on Vedic technology. It took off before a
large audience in the Chowpathy beach of Bombay and flew to a height of 1500 feet.
Historian Evan Koshtka described Talpade as the ‘first creator of an aircraft’.
