Great Indian-Shivkar Bapuji Talpadeis
Shivkar was a scholar of Sanskrit and from his young age was attracted by the "Vaimanika Sastra" (Aeronautical Science) expounded by the great Indian sage Maharishi Bhardwaja which includes topics like "definition of an airplane, a pilot, aerial routes, food, clothing, metals, metal production, mirrors and their uses in wars, varieties of machinery and yantras, planes like &#;mantrik&#;, &#;tantrik&#;, and &#;kritak&#;" and four planes called Shakuna, Sundara,Rukma, and Tripura are described in great details.

On December 17, , Orville Wright showed that a &#;manned heavier than air machine&#; could fly. However, eight years earlier, in , the Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Bapuji Talpade constructed a rudimentary aircraft named Marutsakthi (meaning Power of Air) based on Vedic science had it take off unmanned in front of a huge audience on Bombay&#;s Chowpatty beach.
The twentieth century is regarded as a golden age for humanity. During this period, our world has altered dramatically. There have been several innovations and discoveries that have had an impact on our way of life. The creation of flying is one such human achievement.
By cooperating with one another, aviation has connected the world and helped us achieve the unthinkable. When asked who created flight, he replied, &#;Jean-Jacques Rousseau The Wright brothers, according to most people. This, however, is a misunderstanding.
K R N SWAMY commemorates Shivkur Bapuji Talpade, the Indian who piloted an unmanned aircraft eight years before Orville Wright, one hundred years after his first flight.
The Wright brothers&#; significance stems from the fact that it was a manned flight for feet, and Orville Wright became the first man to
Vedic Vimanas &#; 8 Years Before the Wright Brothers
Orville Wright demonstrated on December 17th that it was possible for a ‘manned heavier than air machine to fly’. But, in , eight years earlier, the Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Bapuji Talpade had designed a basic aircraft called Marutsakthi (meaning Power of Air) based on Vedic technology and had it take off unmanned before a large audience in the Chowpathy beach of Bombay. The importance of the Wright brothers lies in the fact, that it was a manned flight for a distance of feet and Orville Wright became the first man to fly. But Talpade’s unmanned aircraft flew to a height of feet before crashing down and the historian Evan Koshtka, has described Talpade as the ‘first creator of an aircraft’.
As the world observes the one hundredth anniversary of the first manned flight, it is interesting to consider the saga of India’s 19th century first aircraft inventor for his design was entirely based on the rich treasury of India’s Vedas. Shivkar Bapuji Talpade was born in in the locality of Chirabazar at Dukkarwadi in Bombay.
He was a scholar of Sanskrit and from his young age was attracted by the Vaimanika Sastra (Aeronautical Scienc
'Forget Wright brothers, it was an Indian who first flew a plane in '
Move over Wright brothers -- it was Shivkar Bapuji Talpade who first flew a flying machine over Chowpatty in , eight years before the American siblings.
This “flight” was apparently based on sage Bharadwaja’s aviation knowledge, which included “war planes” and aircraft doubling up as “submarines”, according to the abstract of a paper to be presented at the nd Indian Science Congress in Mumbai on January 4.
“Ancient Sanskrit literature is full of descriptions of flying machines -- vimanas. From the many documents found it is evident that scientist-sages Agastya and Bharadwaja had developed the lore of aircraft construction,” says the abstract of the paper on ancient aviation to be presented by Captain Anand Bodas and Ameya Jadhav.
Union minister Prakash Javadekar is expected to inaugurate the session on Ancient Sciences through Sanskrit. The vice-chancellor of Kalidasa Sanskrit University, Bhopal, will preside over the session.
Abstracts of papers for the session are up on the website of Mumbai University’s Sanskrit department whose head Gauri Mahulikar will coordinate the event.
