Appeal to scientists to research on miraculous swaying of Indian Architectures on their own

Bhadrapad Shuklapaksha 13, Kaliyug Varsha 5116

Request to scientists to explain the underlying science

The seven wonders in the world can only be seen by eyes, whereas in an Ashram (Hermitage) in India, thousands of wonders are seen and felt by the very five senses, mind & intellect. Scientists are requested to explain the science underlying these wonders!


Following are the seven wonders of the world. New Open World Corporation (2007) has taken a worldwide voting and selected modern  7 wonders. These are as follows:

 

Wonders Country : Location
1. Pyramid at Chichén Itzá (Remains of city of the most ancient Mayan civilization in America) Mexico: Yucatan
2. Christ Redeemer (Tallest statue of Jesus weighing 635 tons and 98 ft tall.) Brazil :
Rio de Janeiro
3. Roman Colosseum (Largest amphitheater built in the period of Roman Empire) Italy : Rome
4. Great Wall of China (21,196 kms. long, a defence wall built between the period of 220 BC and 206 BC)

China

5. Machu Picchu (15th century city built during Incan civilization) Peru

6. Taj Mahal (It is said to be built by Shahajahan in memory of his wife 'Mumtaj'.
In fact, there was a temple of Shiv)

India : Agra
7. Pyramids of Giza (the oldest and only Ancient Wonder still standing) Egypt

 

These 7 wonders are advertised a lot globally and also appreciated worldwide. As compared to these man-made seven wonders, there are many similar wonders in India.

“Leaning Tower of Pisa” is in Bur state of Italy. The construction started in AD 1173 and completed in AD 1372. The tower is built in white marble. It is inclined on one side. To see this tower, many Indians spend lakhs of rupees to go there. However, in India such type of moving towers and great architectural wonders go unnoticed.

Let's immerse ourselves to learn the greatness of these Indian architectures which are on par with the Seven wonders.

1. Self swaying architectural monuments in India

1. Swaying of temple kalash (dome) during the festival at Alandi, when Paduka (Holy footwear) of Saint Dnyaneshwar are picked up to start movement of Palkhi (a palkhi, is a covered sedan chair (or litter) carried on four poles. it derives from the sanskrit word for a bed) towards Pandharpur (Maharashtra) : There is sanjeevan samadhi of sant Dnyaneshwar at Alandi (near Pune). During Ashadhi Vaari, palkhi of Saint Dnyaneshwar's padukas (Holy footwear) start from Alandi towards Pandharpur. At this time, there is a large festival at Alandi. Thousands of varkaris gather for this event. They chant ‘mauli, mauli’ in rhythm of Tal & Mrudung (clash cymbal and drum) throughout the village of Alandi. As per old traditions, the honor of picking up and placing the padukas from Samadhi of Dnyaneshwar mauli on the Palkhi goes to Shitole sarkar from Ankoli.

When Shitole sarkar picks up these Padukas from Samadhi, kalash starts swaying. It signifies that – the kalash of temple sways with happiness; because Saint Dnyaneshwar is happy to visit Vithoba at Pandharpur and amidst this happiness, the kalash of Saint Dyaneshwar’s temple swings. Sometimes, it is said that, the kalash of the Siddeshwar temple also swings.

2. The lantern hung by chain in Dwarkamai at Shirdi (also in Maharashtra) moved continuously when a great saint H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj (H.H. Baba) renounced His body at His Indore ashram (in Madhya Pradesh, India) – 400 kms. away from Shirdi : H. H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj renounced his body at Indore on 17.11.1995 (Kartik krushna paksha navami). That night, during 10.00 pm to 4.30 am early morning, the lantern hung by chain at Dwarkamai was continuously swinging, implying that Shirdi, from where the spiritual journey of H.H. Baba had started, has indicated renunciation of body by H.H. Baba.

3. Swaying of a lamppost when pushed from another lamppost Khandesh (Maharashtra), and structures not cracking even when this is happening for many years :

(premises of Goddess Janjani in Khandesh-Maharashtra)

In the premises of Janjani Goddess temple at Mhasve ( Tal. Parola) in Khandesh, there is a 31 ft tall lamppost. The bottom periphery of the lamppost is around 12 ft. This lamppost is hexagonal and tapers upwards. Built using bricks and mortar this lamppost sways. There is another lamppost beside this. After climbing one lamppost, if other one is pushed, it sways. This lamppost which is centuries old, is swayed every day even then it has not cracked. This is happening for many years now.

1D. Shaking of the Nandurki tree at Dehu of Tukaram Maharaj on Tukaram Bij even when the air is still : The Nandurki tree at the place of Saint Tukaram Maharaj’s renunciation of body in Dehu shakes on the day of Tukaram Bij at 12.02 hrs. That time even if trees around it and the air are still, this tree shakes as if it is shivering.

1E. The ‘Tilting’ Temple of Shree Bimleshwar in Odisha (inclined 41 degree to ground):

Shree Bimaleshwar’s tilted temple with a 41° incline

Shree Bimleshwar temple also known as “Tilting Temple” is inclined at an angle of 41° with respect to the ground. Situated at a distance of 23 kms. from the historic city of Sambhalpur in the Indian eastern state of Odisha, this temple is built completely out of stone. In its compound, not only the main Shree Bimleshwar temple, but also other small temples, lamppost, and compound wall of temple look tilted in a particular angle.

1F. Witness to glorious historical and cultural traditions of Peshwas- “Swinging Tower” of Karde (Maharashtra) : The ‘Swinging Tower” of Karde from Maharashtra stands as evidence to the glorious historical and cultural traditions from the times of Peshwas. This is a small village of around 3500 population 12km from Shirur on Shirur-Satara road. This village is enriched with historical importance. Karde was the “Karadmahal” meaning office of the Peshawas. Official work used to be carried out from here for villages around this place. Justice was delivered and the criminals were also sentenced here.

1F 1. Lamppost like tower that sways : Near this historical place of Karde, is a temple of Bhairavnath. On Kartik Purnima (full Moon day), a fair held here. There is a tall tower in front of this temple that appears to be a lamppost. This tower must have been built in the days of Peshwas. It is believed that the tower was built to monitor the movement of the enemy army. If it is pushed at the top, it looks like it is swaying, hence it called as ‘Swinging Tower’. However, villagers firmly believe shaking of tower is not just a feeling to experience, but it really shakes.

1F 2. Excellent example of special architecture : This Tower is an excellent example of special architecture. It is built in stone and coated with limestone and other mixtures from outside. The tower is octagonal with a diameter of 7ft and height of 77ft. The construction is in four and a half stages with 24 steps built in stone. One can easily climb to the top of the tower even today with the help of these steps. There are two small windows to let in light..

1F 3. Maharashtra Government neglects these weather beaten towers : The evidences of historical inheritance are getting wiped off with the passage of time. Peshwas' horse stable was situated here. Today, it is in doldrums. Its wall has collapsed. Near this stable, is a historical compound wall and on this wall, there are carvings in Urdu language. This wall is also broken at many places.

For many years, this ‘Hanging Tower’ is standing here tall facing sunlight, storms & monsoons. If ASI (Archaeological Survey Of India) and Government of Maharashtra take note of the historical architecture and strive to develop and renovate the horse stable and Hanging Tower from a historical perspective, Karde can surely rise as a historical site for travelers.

2. Involuntary swaying of various objects in an Ashram (Hermitage)

Numerous examples can be found all over India. In an Ashram, many such surprising examples are seen. Those are as follows:

a. On the day of 18.08.2012, for the first time a plastic bottle kept on the window sill of a washroom in a Saint's room wobbled and fell on ground.

b. Mirror weighing two and half kgs swings involuntarily.

c. Rudraksha mala given by a Saint is hung on a window. It moves without any external force.

d. Intentionally drawn dots and also one which has appeared on its own on the walls of a Saint's room and other places in this ashram are seen moving rapidly here and there, sometimes in a clock-wise fashion and sometimes in an anti-clockwise one. From front side of the wall, the dot seems to be on the wall but when seen from a side, it looks to be away from the wall.

e. The walls of the ashram seems to be breathing. If the floor of the room is watched from all four directions, it seems to be moving up-down and also in forward-and-reverse directions.

f. There is a vehicle barrier on the main gate. This barrier seems to be moving up and down.

g. The door of a Saint's room seems to be shaking even when closed & gives a feeling as if someone is entering.

h. While standing in the room of a Saint, one feels as if one is spinning.

i. Like this, many things seem to be moving, however even one feels as if, oneself is moving.

Like this, there are many moving objects and architectural buildings. Some things are actually seen to be moving and some are felt as if moving. In this reference, some things have been videographed and photographed also. This proves that it’s not an illusion but exists in reality.

This is an appeal and a request to the scientists to help in understanding as to what is the reason behind this movement? Or what would be its impact in the future?
