Ancient Weapons of India

Ancient Weapons of India

                                           In the History of India or any another ancient civilization has many blood marks at every page of the history. Some civilizations started war with Swords, Spears and Talwars and some started with lathi. Lathi  is one of the oldest weapon of the world. The martial arts are very deep rooted in the Indian rural lifestyle. 

You can imagine with one incident the capacity of the soldiers and their body modification with ancient methods in martial arts, where I came across a dumble shaped stone of above 200 kilograms  weight at Golconda fort Gym of few centuries old. The amazing part of ancient martial arts concentrate on each and every part of the body to transform every inch of a body in to a strong weapon at the same time as a defensive power .

Special Training on Weapons and Favorite Weapons of the warriors:

                                          

Every warrior will be trained with all the weapons still only love to improve his skills in one chosen weapon. Some warriors like King Rama use many weapons but he is a great warrior of all time uses Bow & Arrow as main weapon. In the ancient scripts it is mentioned as he uses  his Bow ( named as Kodanda ) is so powerful and fast that he aims and shoots the arrows at a high speed. 

at one point he killed 14000 demons in a half hour time with his arrows. The arrows released by any warrior are equipped with a power of him, same time in ancient India the arrows are directed towards the target like a missile with the secret power of the warrior which is called and mentioned as a Astra. The great warrior King Rama has many Astras which can be applied through the arrows and reach any distance and can target any hidden target.

In Archery , there are so many warriors who got their own place in the history of India. The Stories and journey of ancient warriors cannot be compared to the modern warriors, still there is a very powerful and well know warrior was  there at India with mesmerizing and unbelievable skills of Archery. He saved many lives and fought against guns of the British above the logics even surprising the with many more secret capabilities which couldn't be transferred to the next generations. This warrior also had amazing healing capabilities and ayurvedic knowledge, which was personally by his followers. I will reveal this suspense about him...he is Alluri Seetarama Raju. Many incidents proved that he has many super natural powers and capabilities also. I will try to make another post specially on the Ancient warriors.

The method of choosing a Weapon:

Every warrior is an artist, ebbed  the art of using the weapon in to this soul and sub conscious mind. The weapon and artist who handles the weapon have same soul and they both behave in same manner to attain the results. The real warrior while handling the weapon never calculates the result, because those who calculates and measures the results of the weapon every time he uses will never attain the real power. 

Every human have a special tone of body which will be more suitable for a weapon at the same time the warrior also loves on particular weapon and makes it as a part of this body. The real artist makes the weapon as a part of his body. Every Kshatriya must be familiar with the Dhanurvidya (Archery). So learning many weapons is common but getting special skills are different. Men with a wide body and want to fight with the hands mostly prefer Gada - Mace.The Warrior with a high concentration and long distance targeting capabilities choose Archery.

                                     

Sanathana Sastra Vidya: The Ancient Martial Arts of India

Sanathana Sastra Vidya

What is Sanathana Sastra Vidya?

Sanathana Sastra Vidya is an ancient Indian martial art rooted in the rich heritage of traditional warfare. The term "Sanathana" comes from Sanskrit, meaning "eternal" or "ancient," and "Sastra Vidya" translates to "knowledge of weaponry and martial arts." Unlike modern combat systems, these ancient forms emphasize not only short-distance hand-to-hand combat but also long-distance attacks and intricate weapon techniques.

The Unique Legacy of Sanathana Martial Arts

India has been the birthplace of numerous martial arts, each offering unique methods and philosophies. While some, such as Kalaripayattu, Kusti, and Karrasamu, are well-known, there are many lesser-known arts that represent the diverse and rich culture of Indian combat traditions.

Most Indians today may not be familiar with their regional martial arts, but many of these systems feature extremely advanced techniques, particularly in targeting the human body's nervous system. These methods are known as Marma Kala, Varmam, and Nokku Varmam, which focus on vital points to either incapacitate or heal. These techniques, often considered esoteric, require years of disciplined practice and are part of a larger body of ancient wisdom.

Unlike many martial arts that may be less effective in real-world situations, India's traditional forms have consistently proven to be highly practical, even for unpredictable, unstructured street combat. These ancient arts embody the philosophy of both offense and defense in chaotic environments, highlighting the comprehensive effectiveness of Indian martial arts.

Weapons in Sanathana Sastra Vidya

One of the striking features of Sanathana Sastra Vidya is its comprehensive use of traditional weapons. Historically, many martial artists and warriors of India were trained in weaponry such as the sword, staff, chakram, and bow and arrow. One of the iconic elements is the use of the Chakram in the Sikh martial tradition.

In the mid-19th century, the Nihang Sikh warriors adopted unique conical turbans which carried multiple chakrams—circular steel blades that could be thrown with lethal accuracy. These edged weapons became a distinct feature of the Akali warriors, who could hurl them effectively in combat. The Sikh martial arts evolved into a formidable form, blending unarmed combat techniques with weapon mastery.

This tradition is also linked to the mythological use of weapons, as described in the great Indian epic, Mahabharata. The god Lord Krishna wielded the Sudarshana Chakra, a powerful spinning disc that was said to be capable of destroying any opponent and even re-positioning itself after an attack. It is revered as one of the most powerful weapons ever created, representing the mastery of celestial combat in Indian tradition.

Combat Techniques and Comparisons to Other Martial Arts

Sanathana Sastra Vidya’s unarmed techniques include dynamic movements and forms that resemble the fundamental principles seen in modern martial arts like Tai Chi and Wing Chun. These systems emphasize the redirection of an opponent's force, precision strikes, and strategic use of body mechanics to overcome stronger foes, much like Taichi's energy flow and Wing Chun's close-range combat strategies. The Indian forms focus extensively on power diversion techniques, allowing practitioners to effectively channel their opponent's energy for both defense and counterattack.

What stands out is the application of these techniques in real combat scenarios, offering practical skills for personal safety. Unlike sports-oriented martial arts, Sanathana Sastra Vidya focuses on unpredictable street attacks, making it highly useful for self-defense in chaotic, real-life situations.

Conclusion: Preserving Ancient Wisdom

Sanathana Sastra Vidya is a testimony to India's rich martial arts heritage—one that blends mythology, practical combat techniques, and a deep understanding of the human body. It is crucial for these ancient arts to be revived, appreciated, and practiced to understand our cultural legacy and embrace the practical wisdom they have to offer.

These arts are not just about combat; they embody a holistic philosophy of physical fitness, mental discipline, and the spiritual ethos of ancient India. By reconnecting with these traditions, we can gain insight into the wisdom of our ancestors while applying these skills in our modern lives.

Space Technology in India

                    To tell about this context an easiest way is to take the Ancient Script ' Vaimanika Sastram'.....It explains about the Aeronautical Engineering and making of Space ships. Most people know that Ravana- A demon used to have a beautiful ,luxury Flight.....which can accommodate any number of people and leaves space for one more person.

                    At the time of Bhoja Raja ....he used to have few planes of different types that which can run for few hundred kilo meters to Few thousand kilometers.The technology is not this polluting technology  here. In the Vaimanika Sastra...they explained different space ships ...as one inside the Earth..another to next planets..and another one is very large distance traveling...like Maharloka which is above these all Planets....it is explained here the main qualifications of a Pilot...and how to face a war on ship if somebody is attacking from ground and from another ship....how to take care of them selves when they reached to space...and when they face sun.

                    Lets explore one more important topic....Pandora...the Planet as explained in Avatar...In the Ancient Text...'Yoga Vasistam'  Vasista explained how similar earths are there in he world and how similar they would be with the Earth......He said there are different earths in the Universe..few are very similar and almost happens same like our earth......and few are different with different laws and nature.

                   In all these Space crafts Mercury Engines are used....which are very sophisticated from Existing Technology.... mercury engines can be found in the ancient Vedic text  called Samaranga Sutradhara.

Introduction

       India....a word which holds 120 cores of population with a status of sub continent having multiple geographies and cultures.holding a strong base of spiritual world having roots of every aspect in this world.

       India....having a great history with Ethics,humanity,spirituality.Vedic culture explained how to live and explained every aspect of this world starting from fire ending with space aeronautical technology which we don't even invented till now.

       The Base of these growth of Ancient  India is because of accepted Truth rather than wasting time in worst senseless,ego less,self defensing discussions and politics. The base is accepting the relation between the human life with Spiritual Life.The Base is defining the destination of life. The base of this ancient kingdom is to fight straight against evil even he is strong what ever be the result and  feel shame to fight through kids,women, incapable men with out weapons. The base of this wonderful land is Ethics which are missing in this world now.

       India...different cultures with one destination,different paths with one destination. India now became different countries which every historian know the fact.

       Modern India....Learning from world new methods like back stubbing,divide and rule policy,unethical practices,never accept truth but explain differently your inability to accept truth.

       My Effort is to explain and  take out the real fact of Ancient India and trying to explain how it applies to Modern world. Would like to reveal the truth that Men does not mean the person who can provide children to his women. Courage does not mean that shouting and fighting after drunk.
