- Dr. Shreehari Gokarnakar to continue our discussion of reverse-engineering India’s mythical ancient flying Vimanas, which are described as “mythological flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics”. Dr Gokarnakar holds a doctorate in Sanskrit prosody and has 22 years’ experience in teaching Sanskrit in various institutes. He has keen interest in ancient Indian sciences, manuscripts, Natyashastra, Vyakaran Shastra, Chandas Shastra, Classical and Vedic Sanskrit literature, as well as education and real-life applications. His work on this topic involves translating ancient manuscripts from Sanskrit to modern Indian to assist with efforts to create a functional, modern representation of the ancient Vimana using modern technology.
