hey nice work divya.
try and add something about kavach kundal of KARNA.

You mean the same shown in this movie

YouTube - Naksha Trailer



The kavacha of karna was present when he was born being the son of the surya. The armour made him invincible and impossible to kill. So it was later on when Krishna took it from him with cheating he was killed. After his death Surya took the kavach and kundal back with him fearing the demons will get hold of it.

Does anyone know that there are evidences of radioactivity in the area of kurukshetra of India where war of Mahabharata was fought. There are still traces of radioactivity in that region....

I was afraid the thread was going to head into this direction.

The radioactivity could have been due to a lot of sources. And if well surveyed I am sure a lot of regions in India would come up as high in radioactivity. Not sure if ancient battles would explain it all.

Agreed but what i said was just one of the speculation. Over and all we do not have the creditable evidence for the events in that period.

Trishula​

The trishula symbolism is polyvalent and rich. The trishula is wielded by the Hindu God Shiva and is said to have been used to sever the original head of Ganesha. The three points have various meanings and significance, and, common to Hindu religion, have many stories behind them. They are commonly said to represent various trinities—creation, maintenance and destruction, past, present and future, the three guna. When looked upon as a weapon of Shiva, the trishula is said to destroy the three worlds: the physical world, the world of the forefathers (representing culture drawn from the past) and the world of the mind (representing the processes of sensing and acting). The three worlds are supposed to be destroyed by Shiva into a single non-dual plane of existence, that is bliss alone.
In the human body, the trishula also represents the place where the three main nadis, or energy channels (ida, pingala and shushmana) meet at the brow. Shushmana, the central one, continues upward to the 7th chakra, or energy center, while the other two end at the brow, there the 6th chakra is located. The trisula's central point represents Shushmana, and that is why it is longer than the other two, representing ida and pingala.

Arrow of Brahma​

Hindu Mythology

In Hindu mythology, the demi-god Rama (Ramachandra) faced the demon king of Sri-Lanka, Ravana. Rama shot arrows and knocked off each of Ravana's ten heads, but new ones grew immediately. The new heads doubled Ravana's strength. Finally, Rama fired the arrow of Brahma that had been imparted to him by Agastya, a sage and heavenly historian, while Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana were exiled in Dandaka Forest. The arrow of Brahma burst Ravana's chest, passed through his body, and returned to Rama's quiver. Ravana was destroyed and Rama was able to return home in victory.
[edit]Appearance
The arrow of Brahma that Rama shot had feathers of winds. The points were sun and flames. The shaft was Mount Meru, the hub of the universe and where Brahma lived.
[edit]Yaktovil

The yaktovil is a lengthy, complex ritual that prevents malevolent, supernatural beings from overpowering patients. The ritual brings the patients into the protective manifold of the Buddha. The ritual is performed by Theravada Buddhists.
[edit]Yakeduras
Yakeduras means "ones who know the art of offering". They are specialists who take control over patient diagnosis and performance of the yaktovil.
[edit]Ritual
During the ritual, offering baskets for several yakas, or nature divinities, are placed on a bench. One of the baskets is devoted to Suniyam. His basket contains, among other things, a sacrificial chicken and an "arrow" of Brahma. The "arrow" in this ritual is a straight branch with one end in the shape of an arrowhead. During the ceremony, it is used to help command and control certain supernaturals. At one point in the ceremony, a person assisting will be "possessed" by the spirit of Suniyam. He will take the sacrificial chicken and stomp around the patient. The yakeduras will use the "arrow" to force his compliance in leaving the patient alone.

Oh well there are no more details about it. It was just a armour which was made by surya from his exclusive sun particles or something like that. I dont remember the exact name. He had it all the time before it was taken away by Krishna. There are no more details about them

Shiva Dhanush​

Shiva Dhanush (Sanskrit: शिव धनु&#2358 in Hindu mythology, was the divine bow of Lord Shiva gifted to King Janaka by Sage Parashurama for safe-keeping while the sage performed penances. It was gifted to Parashurama by Shiva for being a great disciple.
In earlier part of her life, Sita while playing with her sisters had unknowingly moved the table over which the "Shiva Dhanush" had been placed; which was something no one in the palace could do. This incident was however observed by King Janaka and he decided to make this incident as the backdrop for swayamvar.
Later, Janaka had announced that whoever wanted to marry Sita had to do so only after lifting (which was itself a difficult job) the bow from its place and stringing it. The bow was broken by Lord Rama when he attempted to string the bow, during the swayamvar of King Janaka's daughter, Sita, whereby he won the hand of Sita in marriage. After the swayamvar, while Rama, Sita and Lakshmana were on their way to Ayodhya, Parashurama confronted and challenged Rama for breaking the bow.Dasharata told Parashurama the incident which had happened in the palace.But Parashurama wouldn't control and brought Lord Vishnu's bow. He then asked Rama to string the bow and fight a duel with him.Rama respectfully bows to Parashurama, and within a twinkling of an eyelid snatches the bow of Vishnu, strings it, places an arrow and points it straight at the challenger's heart. Rama asks Parashurama what he will give as a target to the arrow in return for his life? At this point, Parashurama feels himself devoid of the tremendous mystical energy he possessed for so long. He realizes that Rama is Vishnu incarnate, his successor and definitely his superior. He accepts Rama's superiority, devotes his tapasya to him, pays homage to Rama and promises to return to his hermitage and leave the world of men.
Rama then shoots the arrow up into the sky with Vishnu's bow, performing a feat true to his supreme, divine nature with his natural weapon. His overpowering of Parashurama and using the supreme weapon with incredible ease and perfection dazzle the spectators and his relatives, but no one save Parashurama and Vasishta associate this with his true identity. It is said that the Rama's arrow is still flying across space, across time and across all of the universe. The day it will return to earth, it is said, it will bring the end of the world. Others say that the flying arrow destroys all evil on earth to uphold dharma and righteousness.

vel​

The Vel (Tamil: வேல&#3021 is the divine javelin/spear of the Hindu deity Murugan. It also refers to elephant in archaic and poetic usage. This seems to be because the frontal profile of an elephant (with the long trunk) is similar to a spear.
The spear used by ancient Tamils in warfare is also commonly known by this n


Vel in Hindu Mythology

In the Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati presented the Vel to her son Murugan as an emobodiment of her Shakthi (Power and Energy) to vanquish the evil asura Soorapadman.
According to the Skanda Purana and its Tamil version, Kanda Puranam, in the war between Murugan and Soorapadman, Murugan used his Vel to defeat all the evil forces of Soorapadman. When a complete defeat for Soorapadman was imminent, the asura transformed himself in to a huge mango tree to evade detection by Murugan. Murugan, not falling for the deception, hurled his Vel and split the mango tree in to two halves, one becoming a rooster and the other a peacock. Murugan, henceforth, had the peacock as his Vahanam and the rooster became the emblem on his battle flag. The Vel became the symbol of valour, and of the triumph of good over evil.
[edit]Vel as a Symbol of Worship

The Vel, as a symbol of Murugan's divinity, is an object of worship in some of the temples of Murugan. The annual Thaipusam festival celebrates the occasion when Murugan received the divine Vel from his mother. During this festival, some of the devotees pierce their skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers while they undertake a procession towards the Murugan temple. The Vel is also associated with Vishnu. In a number of Vaishnavaite temples in Tamil Nadu the presiding deity holds a Vel.[citation needed]
[edit]Vel in Tamil Culture

The Vel was extensively used by the Tamils as a weapon.[citation needed] "Vetrivel, Veeravel" ("Victorious Vel, Courageous Vel") was a commonly used battle cry. It was common for young boys to wear impressions of the Vel around the neck. Vel or Velu, with a prefix like Shakthi, or Raja, is also a popular first name for Tamil Hindu males.[citation needed]

Parashu​

The parashu (Sanskrit: paraṣu) is an Indian battle-axe. It is generally wielded with two hands but could also be used with only one.
[edit]Construction

The parashu could be double edged or bladed or single-bladed with a spike on the non cutting edge. It usually measures between 3 – 5 feet though some are as long as 7 feet. The parashu is usually made of iron or wootz steel. The cutting edge is broader than the edge which is attached to the haft. The haft is often tied with a leather sheet to provide a good grip.
[edit]In Hinduism

The parashu was the choice weapon of Parashurama, sixth avatara of Vishnu, whose name means "Rama with the axe". He was one of the few Brahmin guru who were also masters of hand to hand combat. Parashurama was considered on par with Dronacharya, the guru who instructed the Pandavas in the epic of the Mahabharata. Karna, half brother of Pandava took instruction in weaponry from Parashurama, a disciple of lord Shiva, and was known to have terrible temper having lost his father to the evil Asura. Parashurama in his anger got rid of the all the Earth's kshatriya (warrior class) seven times over. Parashurama's weapon had supernatural powers. It had four cutting edges, one on each end of the blade head and one on each end of the shaft.
The parashu was known as the most lethal close combat weapons of the epics. It is also one of the weapons of the goddess Durga and is still depicted on her idols throughout India.

India has always been famed for its ancient intelligence and very advanced culture which was developed when Darwin’s ape were wandering. Now a days Indian defence research scientist and engineer are working for a top secret projects. According to some sources in Pune, well known for defence programs, scientists are tight lipped and say they can’t speak till 2012. What is going to happen in 2012 no one knows but they keep saying before any question is asked “I know nothing”. If you keep your ears on these whispers you will realize India has tested something no one wants to talk about. It is break through in conventional physics and traditional mechanical and aeronautical engineering. Still the question comes back why shoul all stay quiet till 2012? Where did antigravity technology come from? Strange activities are continuously being observed in Indian side of Himalayas. According to sources it was an planned diversion, it came from indigenous researcher that were started just after the nuclear test in Pokharan and based on some Ancient Indian texts. India must research forgotten technologies that were part of Indian History Ramayan and the Mahabharata. When quizzed further Indira Gandhi mentioned that like ancient days we should be able to fly effortlessly. India will most likely announce the discovery as part of peaceful innovation series. But obviously military applications can make conventional missiles and aircrafts. And if whispers are right, India may be changing the world by 2012 forever but why the magic year 2012? Why every thing is kept secret till then?
