Plasma Fire: "I burn down the wide realms of the land, the people of
which do not repose faith in the resplendent Lord [Indra] and who are
wicked." — Rig Veda I.133.1
"The War was indescribably ghastly and we used the Lulus as soldiers.
Occasionally entire villages happened to be in the paths of the great
radiation waves and innocent Lulus died by the thousands. Many more starved
to death in Nergal's African domain because Ninurta evaporated all the
waters in the rivers, and scorched the lands with plasma fire. Ninurta also
used what you would call chemical warfare; the terrible Madhava Missile
poisoned everything in its sight. There were many types of weapons of
destruction used, but the most cunning of all was the Ruadra Weapon. It
produced a hologram of vast armies of charging demons and monsters, armed
with plasma guns and screeching, bloodcurdling war cries. Marduk's Lulu
armies could never imagine it was only an apparition, and they turned and
ran, leaving his clones to face Ninurta's legions alone."
— Inanna Returns: Ch. I-IX Marduk & War
The Indus Valley civilization remains shrouded in mystery. Once vast and
great with 2,600 archeological sites, with enormous cities like Mohenjo-Daro
and Mehrgarh to small villages like Nausharo, was well organized with the
most sophisticated drainage systems, wells and water storage in the ancient
world. Perhaps the graceful lines of her enigmatic tablets will never be
properly understood.
Older reports of radiation found in the Indus Valley civilization have been
obscured.
The ruins at the sights of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa were found to be
extremely radioactive: “Practically nothing is known of their histories,
except that both were destroyed suddenly. In Mohenjo-Daro, in an epicentre
150 feet wide, everything was crystallized, fused or melted; 180 feet from
the center the bricks are melted on one side, indicating a blast.
“Excavations down to the street level revealed 44 scattered skeletons, as if
doom had come so suddenly they could not get to their houses. All the
skeletons were flattened to the ground. A father, mother and child were
found flattened in the street, face down and still holding hands. ... It has
been claimed that the skeletons, after thousands of years, are still among
the most radioactive that have ever been found, on a par with those of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” [link below]
"The Civilized Demons: The Harappans in Rig Veda" by Malati J. Shendge
Most Vedic scholars do not accept the Rig Veda research of Malati J.
Shendge. For her the people in the Rig Veda are real earth-bound characters,
tribes who fight with primitive weapons and are amazed that Agni's fire is
produced by lightning hitting a log. I cannot agree with her basic premise
because I find ancient astronaut advanced technology in the Rig Veda.
However her detailed extensive knowledge of Sanskrit, the Rig Veda and many
other texts, and archeology regarding the Indus Valley Civilization is
invaluable. She has read journals I would never be able to access. The lady
Shendge, like B.G. Tilak and S.S. Gupta, also gives exact verses in the Rig
Veda to illustrate her views, which allow me numerous entry portals into the
vast 10,552 verses! Thank you.
As suggested by the title of her 1977 book “The Civilized Demons: The
Harappans in Rigveda” — Malati J. Shendge's in depth scholarly research led
her to the understanding that the Asuras in the Rig Veda are not demons, but
rather the original inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization, the
Harappans and others.
In Part II, chapter XI.8 entitled ‘Conflagrations in the Indus Valley’,
Shendge describes “the evidence of the fires which consumed many of the
Mohenjo-Daro buildings” from the research of various archeologists. Missing
archeological evidence is a huge problem because for centuries, locals used
the vast ruins as a source of free bricks. With no need for a local brick
kiln, “extensive brick robbing went on” until 1920, when the site was
classified protected. One wonders what evidence is today still missing.
Shendge cites a case where the fire was so hot as to convert the plaster
used in a wall into terracotta. According to one archeologist [Marshall],
“The same phenomenon is observable in several other houses at Mohenjo-daro.”
The upper story surrounding the famous Great Bath “was also burnt which is
testified by ‘quantities of charcoal and ashes’ found in the course of
excavations.” Also there is evidence that the houses were hastily abandoned,
cooking pots on the floor, and burned wooden door jams still in place.
Shendge also mentions the skeletons that were “not buried in any normal way
but the victims of some disaster…sprawling skeletons found in various parts
of the cities.”
While the lady Shendge makes no mention of radiation, she does suggest that
the fires were engineered. As evidence she refers to the Rig Veda I.133 and
here is where it gets interesting, at least to me. The mantra is dedicated
to Indra:
I.133.1. By sacred deeds I [Indra] purify both heaven and earth. I burn down
the wide realms of the land, the people of which do not repose faith in the
resplendent Lord [Indra] and who are wicked. Wherever the enemies have
gathered they have been killed — utterly destroyed; they sleep in a deep
pit. [Swami
Satya Prakash Sarawati & Satyakam Vidyalankar]
2. Lord of clouds, chop off the heads of sorceresses with your deadly
thunderbolt (lit. foot)… [Ram
Gopal]
3. Munificent Indra, strike down the host of these sorceresses in their
shelter… [Ram Gopal]
4. O Lord, you have destroyed such
hosts by your assaults three-times-fifty. This deed is much praised by your
devotees… [Swami
Satya Prakash Sarawati & Satyakam Vidyalankar]
5.
Indra,
completely crush the Pishachi, the eater of raw flesh, who has got
reddish-brown Spike (as headgear) and terrifying huge body. Strike down
every nocturnal fiend. [Ram Gopal]
6.
Indra, tear down the great…As the Heaven has glowed (become hot) like the
Earth due to fear, O Lord of the clouds…fear of sunglow…you are most
powerful, you move fast with your mighty and strong deadly weapons.
The last verse contains the word 'sunvâna' and the translators have
determined it to refer to Soma, but the word 'sunvâna' simply mean to press
out or extract. Therefore the ‘offerings of Soma libations’ can be explained
in term of Soma meaning plasma — plasma being the source of energy that is
produced by the ‘pinch’ and thus fuels their radiation weapons.
Rig Veda X.177 – Mâyâ – by Rishi Patanga Prâjapatya
Shendge theorizes that the ‘asuras’ were the people who originally lived in
the Indus Valley before the Aryans arrived as refugees. The leader of the
intruding refugees, Indra assails and destroys their 100 iron fortresses
with fire. Indra is described as being a man ‘made of gold’ [I.7.2], his
colour was golden [S.S. Gupta]. Indra had a beautiful nose, long neck, large
belly, strong arms, handsome jaw, moustaches and a golden beard.
The Sanskrit words in Rig Veda X.177.1 are broken down by scholars as ‘aktam
asurasya’ which Shendge takes to refer to the Asuras, the traditional
enemies of the ‘gods’ whose leader is Indra. The other translators ignore
the ‘asura’ in this verse and instead translate it to mean Surya, the solar
deity. But clearly in the Sanskrit Vishveshvarand Vedic Institute Research,
the word is asurasya – therefore indicates the Asura who are demons or
rather perhaps have been demonized. Three translations of Rig Veda X.177.1:
X.177.1 as interpreted by Swami Satya Prakash Sarawati & Satyakam
Vidyalankar: The wise sages intellectually realize with the mind and
emotionally feel with their heart the divine light (of the Sun), manifest by
the grace of our Lord [vedhasah – the creator, ordainer], the vitality
behind the vital forces [marîcinam]. The sages try to seek his [?] origin,
(or the region of his orb), whilst his worshippers are keen to study solar
spectra [the electromagnetic spectrum produce by the sun?].
X.177.1 by H.H. Wilson who does cognize the word as Asura: The wise behold
with their mind (seated) in their heart the Sun made manifest by the
illusion of the Asura; the sages look into the solar orb, the ordainers (of
solar worship) desire the region of his rays.
X.177.1 by R.L. Kashyap: The wise behold the Sun [patangam] with their heart
and mind. He (Sun) is anointed with the power of the mighty One [mâyayâm].
The seers who desire to attain the source (pada) of the rays of the Creator,
see (the Sun) within the ocean [samudre].
Kaysyap defines patanga as Sun. Patanga is written with the Devangari ‘n’
that has a dot beneath it and the word is not to be found in any of my
dictionaries. However in Monier-Williams the root word ‘pat’ yields various
suggestions: to be master, reign, rule, govern, control, own possess,
dispose of; the fly soar, rush on; to fly or move along rapidly; to rush on,
hasten; flying, falling. I only take the definitions Monier-Williams gives
as being in the Rig Veda and not the ones that have been given from later
texts, such as the Mahabharata, etc. Monier-Williams does give a definition
of the word ‘pata’ from the Mahabharata as “the sky-flying luminary” and
also a small reference the ‘patam’ as the sun in the Rig Veda, but second to
flying. Is the verse referring to the actual Sun, or a controlled flying orb
that emits a spectrum of rays — meaning various radiations.
Shendge’s insights into Indra are intriguing. Indra is said to have
destroyed ninety-nine or one hundred enemy-fortresses and thus is referred
to as ‘purandara’ [I.102.7]. Kashyap defines ‘purandara’ as Indra, tearer of
cities or forts and interprets the verse in his chosen way as esoteric inner
meaning, which I don’t quarrel with but I also see another layer of meaning.
As I have said previously, the colonizers would of necessity understood
primordial eternal metaphysical principles on all levels, including plasma
physics, or they would not have been able to transport themselves through
space-time. The distances are too great to be achieved otherwise.
Shendge’s theory is that the original inhabitants of the Indus Valley were
the Asuras who were refugees from Mesopotamia and according to her their
language was Akkadian which later developed into Sanskrit! In the Rig Veda,
Indra destroys their fortress cities, which are described as ‘âyasîh’
meaning made out of metal, iron or copper. Iron and copper both offer
protection of the dangerous effects of cosmic radiation, electromagnetic
waves such as Cosmic radiation, Gamma rays, etc. that are harmful and can
mutate human DNA.
In our new 'connected' world we live unaware in the ubiquitous web of unseen
waves, unknown, that surround and inundate us everywhere. Just as the
dentist leaves the room or wears an iron apron vest when taking an X-ray and
Faraday cages are commonly used to shield from external electromagnetic
radiation and electric fields, the ancients wore golden helmets and gold
breastplates to protect the brain and other organs from the fluctuations of
the various radiations that come from space. A technologically advanced
culture and civilization would sensibly use iron or copper lining to protect
their fortress refuge cities.
In VI.20.10 the Sanskrit word ‘sharma’ meaning shelter, refuge, protection
is used to describe these cities. Shendge refers to Rig Veda VII.15.14 for
further descriptions. The walls were ‘anâdhrishta’ meaning invincible. A
word ‘satabhujih’ meaning hundred walled is also used. Is this 'hundred
walled' a description of layers of a protective material — or the 100
fortress cities that Indra destroyed with his superior technology. In
wonder, I am sharing my thoughts as I search for meaning.
Shendge has compelling suggestions as to how the original meanings were lost
through time. She says that many words were borrowed from a foreign
language. This is perfectly sensible. Indians today, who are educated and
perhaps live in cosmopolitan cities, speak a sophisticated mix of many
languages. These borrowed words from a foreign language are used in their
original sense in the Rig Veda, but later went out of use and their meaning
was “gradually forgotten or new words were derived from the borrowed
words…these new words…because of phonetic similarity, were tagged onto them.
This helped to forget the original meaning of the borrowed words.”
Another example citied by the lady Shendge is the use of ‘ashman mayînâm’ or
stone-built houses — a hundred of which were overturned shattered by Indra.
Even H.H. Wilson admits that these were “more substantial that mud hovels.”
Again Shendge offers her pragmatic explanation of lost meanings: “While
borrowing these words the Aryans appended them on to suitable words which
later in classical Sanskrit, assumed altogether different significance,
whereas in the Rig Veda these words were used in the original sense which
was then current.”
Rig Veda I.133.2 & 3: Lord of clouds, chop off the heads of sorceresses
with your deadly thunderbolt (lit. foot)…
Munificent Indra,
strike down the host of these sorceresses in their shelter…
[Ram Gopal].
What got me delving into these passages was the above interpretation of the
Indian Sanskrit scholar, Ram Gopal who translated the word ‘yâtumatînam’ as
sorceresses — as in female, not the male sorcerers. The Monier-Williams
dictionary defines ‘yâtu’ as sorcery, witchcraft; a kind of evil spirit,
fiend, demon; and ‘yâtumat’ as practicing witchcraft or sorcery; injurious,
malignant.
In my visions, Inanna showed me how the priestesses who worked in her
Temples possessed the knowledge of Tantric Yoga, and were trained to awaken
the dormant Kundalini in those who were deemed ready for such knowledge.
Because there were members of her family that did not want to humans to wake
up and evolve, these practices were maligned as being witchcraft, sorcery
and black magic. The graceful, intelligent priestesses who were masters of
energy and the sound were slandered as prostitutes, fiends and evil demons.
Ram Gopal is the only translator to give the meaning of the word
‘yâtumatînam’ as sorceresses. The others define it as enemies or malignant
hosts. So to my mind the basic meaning has been ignored. Which brings me
back to Shenge and her discussion of Mâyâ, magic and illusion. She says that
throughout the Rig Veda the terms Mâyâ, magic and illusion are used in
connection with the Asuras, who are said to be the enemies of the devas.
Good-guy and bad-guy are relative to the side you are on. Mâyâ and mâyâvin
are common epithets of the Asuras. These terms are also applied to Indra and
others.
The word Mâyâ does refer to illusion, but it is much more than that. Mâyâ is
creative power. It is the means of creation implemented by Shakti to
generate the matrix that manifests the universe. In fact the Sanskrit word
for Power, Shakti is often written as one word with Mâyâ — thus ShaktiMâyâ.
So we are not speaking of sorcery and witchcraft as we have understood it in
the west.
Here Mâyâ is no mere magic. The priestesses were assisting creation in
reverential humility and in harmony the metaphysical principles that govern
the universe. This demonizing of women again took place during the
Inquisition when it served the interests of the tyrannical Church to keep
human beings distanced and fearful of their own innate God-given powers.
Shendge: “The word mâyâ is derived
from [the root]
√mâ
to measure, mete out, correspond in measure, to prepare, arrange, fashion,
form, build, make, exhibit.” She cites Rig Veda X.177.1 as an example of
this creative capacity, “Asura was viewed as the source of the matrix of all
creation. The Asuras and the dâsas were able to construct, to fashion out
things which struck the devas as something irrepressible, almost beyond
human ability.”
Yes, most humans did not have their seven chakras activated. This
irrepressible ability, a God-given right, was exactly what the priestesses
in Inanna’s Indus Valley Temples were capable of doing and trained for. What
better way to justify their death and destroy their cities than to vilify
them as ‘yâtumatînam’ sorceresses.
“Lord of clouds, chop off the heads of sorceresses with your deadly
thunderbolt!” Beheading is a ghastly practice still being used today to
terrify people into silent acquiescence. So goes the Kali Yuga.
Even though I do not accept the limited to earth-bound conclusions of the
lady Malati J. Shendge, her research is invaluable because she has not
allowed centuries of biases in the traditions of her culture to obscure her
fresh approach and this includes the works of Sayana and even Sri
Yâskâcârya. The Indian culture is also highly esteemed by me and I intend no
disrespect whatsoever, yet I can easily extend her ideas of tribal rivalries
to the wars among the colonizers in my visions.
I don’t ask anyone to accept my views. I know they are quite radical, but
natural for me who grew up in the era of space exploration, the Hubble
Telescope with an awareness of billions of galaxies — which coalesces with
my visions of the colonization of this planet by an advanced group of
off-planet beings. We were never alone!
In summary: In 1995 I wrote down my visions of the colonization of planet
Earth. During this time I was also shown that Inanna was given the cities in
the Indus Valley. Turning her attention to her new territories, with the
assistance of Ninhursag and others, Inanna expanded these cities and there
taught the metaphysical tantric practices that came from Ninhursag's mother
in Altair. The Indus Valley cities were destroyed in the internecine wars
within competing factions of the colonizers. Therefore the Rig Veda is a
collection of history, advanced technology, and metaphysics regarding
Earth's off-planet colonizers as transmitted by the Rishis, the Seers,
literally those can 'see' and thus were enlightened visionaries — as we all
aim to be.

In which the gods are seated.
One who knows not That,
what shall he do with the Rik?
But those who come to know That are
perfect.

Quotations from the Mahabharata:
Weapons given to Arjuna in Indra’s heaven: He [Arjuna] received from the
hands of Shakra (Indra) his favourite Vajra (thunder) weapon of irresistible
force and also those lightning of tremendous roars, flashes of which are
bespoken (by the appearance) of clouds and (the dancing) of peacocks.
— M.N. Dutt, Vana Parva, Ch.44.4
Krisna speaks of his battle with an aerial city: [He imagines he has been
defeated] The conclusion dawned on my mind that it had been wizardry [that
defeated him]; and I woke up [and returned to do battle]…I [Krishna] shot
well-robed arrows, which looked like poisonous snakes, high-flying and
burning arrows… Then the Saubha [aerial city] became invisible…concealed by
wizardry…I quickly laid on an arrow, which killed by seeking out
sound…all…lay dead.
…a new noise arose…In all ten directions and sideways and upward the Asuras
screamed. …Suddenly the Saubha, which could go anywhere, reappeared…blinding
my eyes. …I was bombarded on all sides by a rain of mountains…until I was
completely invisible. …Then I took out my favourite weapon, which would cut
through any rock, and raising my thunderbolt, shattered all the mountains.
…then I [Krishna] took my favourite fire weapon…my honed-edged stainless
discus, the like of Time… I pronounced a spell on this … Then furiously
hurled it…in the sky… It approached the now lacklustre Saubha [aerial city]
and aloft it cut it in two as a saw cuts a log.

Saubha, 23.
