Please watch these Thought Controlled Machines videos and realize that everything that is written in the Holy Ramayan about the Celestial weapons is true
Sage Vishwamitra described the specifications of these weapons to Lord Ram and invoked the divine spirits with mantras, facing east.It must be noted that all the Astras were guided energy missiles that were activated using a specific sound vibration or password. The Astras were also individualized for Lord Ram so that only He could use those weapons by using the secret Sanskrit mantras.These mantras were of two types - one that involved uttering the mantras in a certain pitch and the other involved resonating the Pineal gland inside the brain by making the OM sound without opening the mouth in the manner of Bhramari Pranayam.The resonance of the Pineal gland increased the aura of the body and sent out a Scalar energy signal that attracted the divine spirits or energy fields in the other dimension.These divine spirits acted as the guardians of the Astras and became visible to the 5 senses only when invoked with appropriate mantras by the authorised person.These divine spirits and the Astras they commanded existed in the other dimension in a parallel realm and even the Gods were unable to use all of them at the same time. They were Thought Controlled weapons and appeared when thought of by their commander. At that time only Lord Ram possessed so many celestial weapons and so the Gods recognised Him as the supreme wielder of weapons in the world.Sage Vishwamitra gave such a wide array of weapons to Lord Ram to make Him invincible against the Reptilian Cannibals commanded by king Ravan.
Please watch this Bhramari Pranayam video to realize the power of OM

The guardian spirits with their Astras appeared before Lord Ram and accepted Him as their commander and agreed to do His bidding as and when invoked.Lord Ram received them gladly and after commanding them to appear before Him at the hour of need let them go to the parallel realm.
Chapter 28 tells how Lord Ram received anti-missiles from Sage Vishwamitra. Lord Ram was happy to have received the celestial weapons but he wanted to know the use of anti-missiles too in case enemies hurled a missile at Him.The anti-missiles were said to be children of Krishashwa, meaning bearing the signature of Krishashwa who commanded them. Let us look at the anti-missiles received by Lord Ram.
1. Satyabanta - Anti-missile

Lord Ram received all these Anti-missiles gladly and as their guardian spirits appeared before Him,He commanded them to appear again as and when required and let them go to the parallel realm. All these weapons were Thought Controlled and one had to remember their names and passwords during warfare. Now you know why Lord Ram is called the supreme wielder of weapons.
It is no wonder that western scholars lost their composure while translating this chapter and termed it as mythology as they could not make head or tail out of it.Do you think it is humanly possible for a poet to create around 100 weapons with specific attributions in his imagination ?
If Indian scientists can manufacture all these weapons today India will become a superpower overnight.
Lord Ram
Thereafter Lord Ram saw a cloudlike picturesque forest before Him and asked Sage Vishwamitra about the impending rituals to be performed.Lord Ram was worried about the possible hindrance to the rituals and vowed to protect the priests.
Chapter 29 introduces us with the hermitage of Sage Vishwamitra, which was the erstwhile hermitage of Lord Vishnu and His 5th Avatar Lord Vamana.Sage Vishwamitra started to narrate the history associated with his hermitage on Lord Ram's request. The hermitage once belonged to Lord Vishnu Himself who practiced Yoga there in a previous eon. During that time King Bali, son of King Virochana became a world conqueror,defeating even Lord Indra along with the MarutGanas.The Asura King Bali then conducted a grand Vedic Yagya ,proclaiming himself Emperor of the world. As the Asuras were arch enemies of the Gods, the Gods became concerned about the balance of power in the world and approached Lord Vishnu to intervene on their behalf. Lord Agni carried the message symbolically as the Gods invoked Lord Vishnu through a Vedic fire ritual.The Gods reached the hermitage of Lord Vishnu while King Bali's grand Vedic Yagya spanning many years was still incomplete and glorified Him as the Supreme Saviour.In the meantime the great Sage Kashyapa along with his wife Lady Aditi was also invoking Lord Vishnu for a boon. The Lord was pleased with their devotion and prepared to confer a boon on the Gods as well as Sage Kashyapa and Lady Aditi. The Gods requested the Lord to be born as a dwarf brahmin and intervene in King Bali's Yagya. The Lord agreed and chose Sage Kashyapa and Lady Aditi as His prospective future parents. Sage Kashyapa thereby named the hermitage Shiddha Ashram as he accomplished his spiritual goal in the hermitage. The Lord sent His divine energy during a Putrakameshthi Yagya performed by Sage Kashyapa and Lady Aditi and was born a dwarf called Lord Vamana. As Lord Indra was also born of Lady Aditi ,Lord Vamana became his brother. In due course He reached the Yagyasala of King Bali in the garb of an ascetic and asked for alms as per custom. King Bali, even though an Asura, was pious and true to his word and promised to give Lord Vamana whatever He asked. The Lord as the Vamana Avatar asked for 3 steps of land.At first everyone thought it to be a very small request. But the Lord took His cosmic form as the VishwaPurusha and covered the realm of men with one stride and the realm of the Gods with another.But His request was still unfulfilled as there was no place left for His third stride.King Bali recognised Him and to keep his promise offered his own head for the Lord to place His divine foot,thus loosing all his domains.The Lord thus humbled King Bali's pride but offered him the kingdom of Patal as a recognition of his piety.These 3 strides of Lord Vamana became known as TriVikrama.

Ancient kingdoms corresponding to modern day world map. Patal corresponds to Central and South America
Mahabalipuram in modernday Tamilnadu,India was originally built by King Bali and named after him.Much of the original city is submerged under the ocean. Only recently people have begun to realize that the city is more than 5000 years old
Recent Tsunamis have exposed a significant portion of the ancient city which was previously submerged under the ocean.
The Onam festival is celebrated every year in the modern day state of Kerala,India to commemorate the piety of King Bali.Onam is being celebrated in Kerala continuously for thousands of years and is the single biggest proof that King Bali was an historical character and everything written in the Holy Ramayan is true.
It is necessary to mention here that the 3 worlds King Bali was Lord of,were actual places on earth and not metaphorical.The realm of the Gods corresponds to the Trans-Himalayan regions upto the North Pole, the realm of men corresponds to all the land between the Himalayas and the Antarctic Ocean and Patal corresponds to Central and South America. If you carefully study the world map,you will notice that South America is situated exacty at the opposite end of India, that is beneath our feet in a figurative way,justifying the name Netherworld or Patal. King Bali was installed as the King of Patal and he built the foundation of the Maya,Inca, Aztec,Olmec and other indigenous civilizations in Central and South America.The art, architecture,religion and language of these civilizations are exactly similar to ancient India.The famous Nazca Lines in modern day Peru was built by him for guided landing of Vedic Vimanas. (Yes, you read it right ) .

The western scholars who have translated this chapter has mentioned Patal as a mythical place because they had a hard time digesting the documented fact that India once ruled the world and an Indian King was the overlord of the Americas.Even today they have no clue as to who built the Maya-Inca-Olmec-Aztec cities, whereas we have 5000 years of written history that mentions that they were built by King Bali and his successors.They still hypothesise that those cities were built by Aliens !!!!!!!
Viracocha - the Sun God
Lord Jagannath
Please notice the striking similarity between the sculpture of Lord Jagannath in the Puri temple and the statue of Viracocha.Viracocha was none other than Lord Vamana whom King Bali worshipped. King Bali spread the worship of Lord Vamana in Patal or modern day Peru, South America.You should also note that Lord Vishnu was mentioned in the Holy RigVeda as one of the 12 Adityas or Sun Gods and it is quite natural to portray His Avatar Lord Vamana as the Sun God.King Bali's artisans made the statue of Viracocha in the manner of ancient Indian sculptures.
Sage Vishwamitra spoke of the greatness of Shiddha Ashram as a place to attain salvation and acknowledged that he has attained miraculous powers or Shiddhis by virtue of being a devotee of Lord Vamana.He further informed Lord Ram that the Reptilian Cannibals were waiting to attack the hermitage and they will have to be eliminated then and there.He said that the hermitage belonged to Lord Ram as much as himself and Lord Ram will have to take up the responsibility of protecting the hermitage as the current Avatar of Lord Vishnu.Lord Ram sensed the responsibility of the Avatar for the first time in Shiddha Ashram.The Sage entered Shiddha Ashram with Lord Ram and Lord Lakshman and shone like the moon in the company of the Punarvasu star.Lord Ram assured the Sage of His protection and encouraged him to start the Yagya immediately and so the Sage started the ritual.
Chapter 30 describes Lord Ram's battle against the Reptilian Cannibals who attacked the Vedic Yagyasala of Sage Vishwamitra.The Sage lit the fire in the Alter of Fire in the morning and asked Lord Ram to keep vigil for 6 days and nights. He also predicted that the Reptilian Cannibals would attack on the last day of the rituals when it would reach its culmination.This chapter clearly describes a Soma Yaga conducted for producing the Alchemical metal Amrita. This Amrita was used to make weapons like swords, maces,arrows etc as I have already explained in my previous blogs on Vedic culture and Soma.
Soma Yaga in progress
The Reptilian Cannibals attacked on the 6th day as predicted,led by Marich and Subahu.They desecrated the Yagyasala by pouring blood and flesh on the holy Alter of Fire and attacked the Sages. Lord Ram came to the rescue and taking the Manava Astra in hand told Lord Lakshman that He intended to drive away the Reptilian Cannibals by firing the Manava Astra which would blow them away far from the Yagyasala.He fired the Manava Astra from His celestial bow at Marich and it blew him far away with its tremendous energy.But Subahu and the other Reptilian Cannibals were unperturbed by this and so Lord Ram took the Agneya Astra in His hand and told Lord Lakshman that the remaining Reptilian Cannibals needed to be killed. He fired the Agnya Astra at Subahu, killing him instantly. Then He fired the Vayu Astra that killed the remaining Reptilian Cannibals.Thus Lord Ram became victorious and the Sages praised Him like Lord Indra.The Yagya was then successfully completed and Lord Ram accomplished His first moment of glory.
Chapter 31 records Sage Vishwamitra's plan to visit King Janak's Vedic ritual. The Sages at Shiddha Ashram were planning to visit the palace of the King of Mithila, Janak to worship the celestial bow he venerated in his palace and they invited Sage Vishwamitra and the Lords Ram and Lakshman.This bow was gifted to an ancestor of King Janak of Mithila on the successful completion of a great Vedic Yaga. It is quite evident that a great Soma Yaga was performed by the King of Mithila to produce the Alchemical metal Amrita and the celestial bow was manufactured using this Amrita. It was so heavy and complex in design that nobody could string the bow, not even the mighty Gods, Gandharvas, Asuras or humans. This awe inspiring bow became a cult object and was placed on a pedestal in the King's palace and worshipped.Lord Ram naturally accepted the invitation to witness the the power of the celestial bow. So Lord Ram set out for Mithila with Lord Lakshman, Sage Vishwamitra and their entourage.They bade farewell to the spirits of nature and the birds that were attracted by the divine energy emanating from Lord Ram and after crossing the northern bank of river Ganga set up their camp on the banks of river Shon,a tributary of Ganga.Lord Ram saw a great forest on the banks of the river Shon and asked Sage Vishwamitra about its history.Sage Vishwamitra then began to relate the history of that place.

Chapter32 relates the history of King Kusha who was an ancestor of Sage Vishwamitra.King Kusha,the ancestor of Sage Vishwamitra was a Magic Child born as the result of a Putrakameshthi Yagya and characteristically was very virtuous.The King had 4 sons through his wife Vidharbhi and he named them Kusumba, Kushanabha, Asurtarajasa and Vasu. The King asked them to establish their authority over the kingdom and so they built 4 cities.Kusumba built the city of Kausambi, Kushanabha built the city of Mahodaya,Asurtarajasa built the city of Dharmaranya and Vasu built the city of Girivraja. The land where Lord Ram set up His camp was this Girivraja in the kingdom of Magadh,surrounded by 5 mountains.The river Magadhi or present day Shon river flowed through the land and nourishing the farmlands.
Kushanabha became the King and married the Apsara Ghritachi and she gave birth to 100 daughters, all of whom were Magic Children conceived through Putrakameshthi Yagya.These daughters were very beautiful and virtuous. They reached puberty and one day when they were playing in the garden Lord Vayu approached them and gave them marriage proposal. But they rufused him because they could not choose a husband without their father's consent and so Lord Vayu disfigured them.
The 5 Vayus in the human body are clearly depicted in this picture
This story is highly symbolic of the spiritual growth of women and must not be interpreted literally.The western scholars who have translated this chapter into English have not understood the significance at all as they have portrayed Lord Vayu as a person of flesh and blood ! Lord Vayu was one of the 8 Vasus described in the Holy RigVeda and therefore the air energy field without a material body. According to Yoga the human body is governed by 5 Vayus namely - Prana Vayu, Apana Vayu, Vyana Vayu, Udana Vayu and Samana Vayu corresponding to the 5 upper Chakras namely - Swadhishthan Chakra, Manipura Chakra, Anahat Chakra, Vishuddhi Chakra and Agnya Chakra. All these Vayus circulate inside the human body and keep it healthy but if they are blocked by humans out of ignorance and unhealthy practices the body becomes sick and disfigured. The young daughters of King Kushanabha were practising difficult Yoga Asanas outdoor without the guidance of their Guru and the Vayus got blocked inside their Chakras causing pain and disfigurement. So they ran to their father for healing. This is the moral of the story. (Yes,you read it right ).
Chapter 33 continues the narrative of Sage Vishwamitra and relates the eventual healing of the daughters of King Kushanabha by the Sage- King Brahmadatta who married them.King Kushanabha became very concerned about the misarable condition of his daughters and earnestly started looking for a healer and prospective bridegroom.During that time there was a Sage called Chuli who was a Kundalini Shakti awakened Yogi with miraculous powers or Shiddhis. He was religiously served by an Apsara called Somada, daughter of Apsara Urmila.The Sage was pleased with her services and allowed her to ask for a boon. She asked for a Magic Child.The Sage married her according to the tradition called Gandharva Vivah and performed a Putrakameshthi Yagya and a Magic Child was born to her.This child was named Brahmadatta and became a Kundalini Shakti awakened Yogi with miraculous powers of healing.He eventually became the King of Kampilya. King Kushanabha invited him to his palace and Brahmadatta healed all the women by laying his hands on them - basically transmitting his Scalar energy through his hand. King Kushanabha was highly pleased and he gave all his 100 daughters in marriage to Brahmadatta. Apsara Somada was also very pleased with her son and blessed her 100 daughters -in-law.
Chapter 34 continues the narrative of Sage Vishwamitra and relates the birth of Gadhi who was the father of Sage Vishwamitra.King Kushanabha performed a Putrakameshthi Yagya to obtain a son as he was sonless. A Magic Child was born and was named Gadhi.King Kushanabha's father prophesied before dying that Gadhi would become a great king and bring glory to the Kusha dynasty. Gadhi became the next king and Sage Vishwamitra was born to him. Sage Vishwamitra was called Kaushika because he was born in the Kusha dynasty. Sage Vishwamitra had a sister named Satyavati who was married to Sage Richika and after the death of her husband she became an ascetic and went to the Himalayas to spend the rest of her life in meditation.The western scholars who have translated this chapter into English have messed it up as usual out of ignorance and prejudice. According to them Satyavati transformed into the river Kaushiki after going to heaven !!!!!!!
The Kaushiki river or modern day Koshi river in the Himalayas
Satyavati, the sister of Sage Vishwamitra attained Moksha by meditating among these mountains in the Himalayas
The Kaushiki or Koshi river flowing through modern day Nepal
I have already explained that the heaven or realm of Gods of Holy Ramayan corresponds to the Trans-Himalayan regions upto the North Pole and physically travelling to heaven meant a visit to this region, particularly the Himalayas.As meditating in the Himalayas is highly meritorious and helps people to attain Moksha, people travel to this region even to this day.The account of Sage Vishwamitra's sister Satyavati relates her attainment of Moksha in the Himalayas. She meditated on the banks of a river near its source in the Himalayas to attain Moksha and so the river was named after her.This river corresponds to modern day Koshi river which is a tributary of river Ganga.
Thus Sage Vishwamitra completed his narrative of Girivraja and as it was already evening he went to sleep along with his entourage.
To be continued .......
In the end I just like to say that we need the Lord more than ever before. Five thousand years have passed since the end of the Kurukshetra war and our country has lost 80% of her territory and wealth. Only the Lord can make Bharat Varsha great again in the form of Kalki Avatar.
Come back O Lord and save us.
