Mahabharat was a Nuclear War?
Some people believe that Mahabharat was a Nuclear War. Why? Because of some explanations that defy contemporary knowledge of weapons that people of THAT time could conceivably have created. Weapons with such impact could not have been conjured up just out of nowhere.. REPEATEDLY.. in various parts of the text. See below for one such description of its effects. It is not surprising that even in the modern world, Robert Oppenheimer, Nuclear Scientist jumped up after seeing the Atomic blast and cited a similar verse from Gita (part of Mahabharat).
An incandescent column of smoke and flame,
as bright as ten thousand suns,
rose with all its splendour.
It was an unknown weapon,
an iron thunderbolt,
a gigantic messenger of death,
which reduced to ashes
the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
The corpses were so burned
as to be unrecognizable.
Hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
and the birds turned white.
…After a few hours
all foodstuffs were infected…
…to escape from this fire
the soldiers threw themselves in streams
to wash themselves and their equipment.”
Now, if you see the extreme climactic changes - creation of desert out of habitable land in Sahara and drastic fall in atmospheric temperature as if Solar Activity had changed - it may not be entirely unlikely, that those climatic shifts may have mimicked a Nuclear Winter.
The philosophy of Gita is hitherto unparalleled in the spiritual realm. No Saint, prophet, Master, or mystic has covered so many topologies - Knowledge, Devotion, Action, - with so much mastery.
You cannot get something out of nowhere. You can only conjure up stuff that is there in your immediate consciousness. Fantasies and miracles in knowledge dont make sense
