What was the flying speed of Hanuman?

Phuket — Flying Hanuman

Hanuman langurs are long-tailed monkeys who swing from branch to branch, hanging from their tail. This is exactly how you’ll fly from tree to tree on a tightrope, hanging from a specially-designed pulley – rope bridges, spiral staircases, riding on a platform, vertical descents and fly-overs of course.

The longest flight is about 400 metres, from a height reaching 40 metres.

The ride is as thrilling as it is safe. All equipment meets the highest safety and comfort standards, is verified and adjusted to your body dimensions.

The ropes used for the descent are capable of supporting tons of weight and verified regularly. A double-safety on each section of the entire course, detailed instructions and highly professional guides.

All this will leave no doubt of this adventure’s 100% safety. You’ll only need to enjoy the pleasure of flying.

Test your resolve and nerve.

The Flying Hanuman became so popular that its creators decided to expand the adventure, calling it Hanuman World.

The focal point of the entertainment is the same, but new routes were added, such as a sky walk, which is a picturesque walkway overlooking the scenery with a rest area; and the “Roller”, a monorail in the trees through which you fly at high speed.

This is a large area with beautiful views.

There is a jungle restaurant on site, where you can dine during the excursion or come back for dinner.

What was the flying speed of Hanuman?

Indian Epics ,Ramayana and Mahabharata stand the test of Astronomy.

Hanuman takes four and a half hours to fly from Lanka to India.

I have written on the Dating tools of Ramayana and the dates of the various incidents in Lord Rama’s Life.

Also on Mahabharata.

Mr.Pushkar Bhatnagar of Indian Revenue Service, with the help of a software named ‘Planetarium Gold’ (of Fogware Publishing) has made a detailed study.

This is used to predict the solar/lunar eclipses and distance and location of other planets from earth by the scientists and astronomers. He entered the relevant details about the planetary positions vis-a-vis zodiac constellations narrated by Maharishi Valmiki and obtained very interesting and convincing results, which almost determine the important dates starting from the birth of Shri Rama to the date of his coming back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.

Mr. Pushkar Bhatnagar written a Book in his book ‘Dating the Era of Lord Rama’ published by Rupa & Co.

He made use of this software to date the Ramayana in detail.

I am referring here about the Flight of Hanuman from Lanka to Rameswaram.

‘Only six of the twelve constellations remain above the horizon at the same time. Valmiki’s Ramayan contains graphic and poetic details of eight constellations during Hanuman’s return journey from Sri Lanka to Sunaabh Hill in the middle of the sea which apparently took about four and a half hours from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. All these details of planets and nakshtras with reference to eight constellations described in Sarga 57(1,2,3) of chapter 5 tally exactly with the sky view generated by the software for the morning of 14th September 5076 BC.”

But since Hanuman was flying across, and it must have taken him approximately four hours to get there (Lanka to Rameswaram), he could see eight constellations— in two hours one constellation would have moved out of sight and another become visible. So in a period of four hours he saw eight constellations. Following is the excerpt from Chapter 57 of Sundara Kanda:

“ Like a winged mountain Hanuman sailed over the airy sea; Yakshas looked like the lotus flowers, Gandharvas moon, the sun its water fowl, Tishya and Sravana Nakshatras its swans and the clouds its reeds and moss. Punarvasu was the whale and Lohitanga (Mars) the crocodile, Airavata the spacious island, Swati, its decoration in the form of a swan; the breezes were its billows and the rays of the moon its cool and peaceful waves”.

The above passage is a metaphor and refers to the stars Shravana (Capricorn), Tishya (Gemini), Punarvasu (Gemini/ Cancer), Lohitanga ( Mars or red star Jyeshta)(Scorpio) and Swati (Libra). Lohitanga in Sanskrit means planet Mars. But he might have meant red star Jyeshta (Kettai in Tamil). Airavata is Indra’s heavenly elephant Vahana/vehicle. But here it means a star.’

Hanuma, with a rush equal to that of wind, without a fatigue, leapt across the boundless sea looking analogous to sky, like a large ship crossing the ocean. In that pleasant and auspicious sky-like sea, shone the moon as a white water-like sea, shone having the constellations known by the names of Pushya and Shravana as swans, the clouds as its duck-weeds; the twin constellations the Punarvasus as its large fish, the planet Mars as its large alligator, a large island as Airavata (Indra’s elephant), graced with a swan in the form of the constellation, Swati, having gales as its waves, the moon beams as its cool water and with the Nagas, yakshas and Gandharvas as its full blown lotuses and water-lilies.

• There is variation in the dates of Rama.some date it to 7000 BC.I have written on this as well.
• As I have explained in a separate Post dating based on Astronomical events has this problem of the Celestial events recurring at fixed intervals.This makes it difficult to assign a date to a specific incident as the Astronomical events recur.
