"Ancient Aliens"

My excitement about the History Channel program "Ancient Aliens" is their scientific approach to the reality of 'ancient astronauts.' These commentators are scientists and call themselves "Ancient Astronaut Theorists.". The one especially just can not see beyond his own atheism. So he is the one who can not grasp that Garuda , for example, IS a bird! (not a space ship) Let's face it. These folks believe that the ancient world was one of less developed people who required alien help  to achieve what they did.. but this is NOT true! You see.. for me... sometimes it is opposition to truth that establishes truth. 

The Vedic culture, which was all around the world previous to 5000 yeas ago, was most advanced. Demigods came to take part in yajnas. Mantra was used to achieve.. to create... to transport... Yogis of all types were able to , for example, induce a pregnancy or travel at the speed of thought from one place to another. Remember Ashvatama? He wanted to kill Maharaj Pariksit in the womb of Utthara and would have been able to actually destroy the fetus Pariksit WITHOUT harming Utthara.. and with what? AN ATOMIC WEAPON! A weapon sooooooo exact and specialized as to cause an abortion and not harm the mom! BUT.. how was Pariksat saved? Krsna.. Paramatma manifest in the womb and fully counteracted this advanced weapon.  Now how did Ashvatama GET that weapon? It was part of the accepted arsenal of the time.

So.... how does this tie into the theories put forth in Ancient Aliens ? Here is how... THEY CAN NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS!  They are willing to publish paintings by Vaishnavas (from Srimad-Bhagavatam) and they can pull out the name "Ganesh" and remark how he must be a mutation created by an ancient alien in some genetic way Obviously they have not ACTUALLY studied Srimad-Bhagavatam or other Vedic literature. They look at a picture, read a verse, look at reliefs on some ancient architecture and then say.. "Just see! Aliens MUST have been here!"

So what is the benefit of these "Ancient ALien" programs? Archeologists are giving the audience a way to see things all over the planet that we would not otherwise see. And they are establishing that there is world wide evidence of advanced cultures.. or at least cultures they think have been made advanced by the intervention of aliens, extra terrestrials . If one wants to know how they are narrow in their thinking, in their theories, one can read Srimad-Bhagavatam, Mahabarata... other Vedic literatures.


Maybe it helps that I have actually studied Srimad-Bhagavatam. I KNOW that Krsna is not just one of their aliens.  What is interesting to me is that they are acknowledging the existence of Krsna at all! Who else is doing that? 3/4 of the world would say that Krsna is simply a mythological character out of the most backward culture on our planet. These guys are presenting a theory that Krsna and Garuda, and Ganesh and Hayagriva, and Sesanaga and all the incarnations of Lord Vishnu actually DID exist! Now, they do not understand HOW that is so.. but they are the ONLY ones i have ever heard say that they existed. I find this fascinating.
