Unsolved Mysteries Of India India is among the most mysterious countries in the world. Its rich mythology, vast size, and many cultural peculiarities make it fertile ground for many strange tales and legends. Some of them are clearly fabricated, others just strange enough that they just might be true, and others still are so strange that they could change our entire perception of the world. There are several shrines with strange and mysterious facts. Some of them are listed below. 1) Yagnati Temple, Andhra Pradesh Yagnati Temple is a renowned Lord Shiva temple in Kurnool district. Shivratri is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotees come in from all over the state to seek blessings of the deity. This temple is believed to be built in the 15th century. An amazing fact about this temple is Pushkarni, found in old temples across India. It is still a mystery from where water flows into Pushkarni from the bottom of the hills all throughout the year. The water in Pushkarni is fresh and sweet. Devotees believe that a bath in the holy Pushkarni is highly beneficial before paying tributes to Lord Shiva. 2) Subhash Chandra Bose It’s a popular belief in India that Subhash Chandra Bose did not die in the Flight that allegedly crashed in Taiwan. Even Justice Mukherjee commission proved that there was no plane crash on that day in Taiwan at all. It’s believed that Bose lived in Faizabad, near Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh as a monk named Gumnami Baba or BhagwanJi . Justice Manoj Kumar Mukherjee, who probed into the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, stated in a documentary shoot that he is sure that Bhagwanji was none other than Bose (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdlvatHFBQs). Handwriting analysis expert and former Additional Director of the National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science, Dr B. Lal deposed before the Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry that handwritings of Bhagwanji and Bose did match ! After the death of of Gumnami Baba, Many articles were recovered from his house which relates him directly to Netaji. However no probe was launched by the Indian govt to verify the claims. Rather the UPA govt thrashed the report of Mukherjee Commission with out giving any reason. So why the govt do not want to disclose the truth about a great Freedom fighter of India ? It is believed that may top leaders of congress at that time did not want Netaji in India . What is the reason ? 3. Man who never eat or drink, Meet Prahlad Jani Prahlad Jani, also known as “Mataji”, is an Indian monk (born Chunriwala Mataji, 13 August 1929 in Charada, Mehsana district, Gujarat). He claims to have lived without food and water since 1940, and says that the goddess Amba sustains him. The researchers and scientists have failed to get any clue of his survival. From 22 April until 6 May 2010, Prahlad Jani was observed and tested by a team of 35 researchers from the Indian Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences(DIPAS) as well as some international scientists. The team studied Jani with daily clinical examinations, blood tests, and scans. Round-the-clock surveillance was reportedly followed using multiple CCTV cameras and personal observation. The researchers say that Jani was taken out of the sealed room for tests and exposure to sun under continuous video recording. According to the researchers, Jani’s only contact with any form of fluid was said to be during gargling and occasional bathing starting from the 5th day of observation, and the toilet in Jani’s room was sealed to test his claim that he did not need to urinate or defecate ! After fifteen days of observation during which he reportedly did not eat, drink or go to the toilet, all medical tests on Jani were reported as normal and researchers described him as being in better health than someone half his age ! In 2006, The Discovery Channel aired a documentary called “The Boy with Divine Powers” featuring a five minute interview with Jani. So what is the mystery that keeps him alive without food, water, proteins? Science has no answer! In Hindu mythologies we find many sadhus (monks) who never took any food or drink in their lifetime. Is it the power of Yoga or the power of any secret knowledge? 4. The Brahma inside the statue of Lord Jagannath Puri Puri is one of the four holiest places for Hindus (Char Dham). It’s the land of Lord Jagannath who is worshipped as one form of Lord Vishnu. In the Statue of Lord Jagannath, There is one mysterious object which is called “Brahman”. It is believed that the Brahman is a part of Lord Krishna’s physical body. After the death of Lord Krishna, Arjun along with his other brothers cremated him in pyre. The whole body of Lord Krishna was turned into ashes, but the heart (pinda) of Krishna was still burning for years. Following a divine order, they threw the heart in the sea. It is said that this pinda or heart was seen floating as daru (log of a tree) in the sea. King Indradyumna, who was an ardent devotee of Lord Jagannath retrieved the log. This log is now called as Brahman which is inside Lord Jagannath Statue. In every 12 years during the Naba Kalebara, The statue of Lord Jagannath is changed, However The Brahman is never changed. Its transferred to the new statue. What’s interesting here is that nobody till date has been able to experience what actually is this “Brahman”. When asked of their experience at this time, the Dayitapatis say, “It is very difficult to express what Brahman is. It cannot be seen or touched. Our eyes are blindfolded and our hands are covered with cloth when we carry it. Yet a powerful feeling is very much present, like a rabbit jumping in our hands. This is our experience. Beyond this, exactly what this Brahman is that is so powerfully felt, nobody is able to say”. It is told that If anybody sees the Brahman, will die. The Government of Odisha therefore orders a full blackout of light on this one night in the whole town of Puri. 5. Was Taj Mahal a Hindu Temple ? The beauty of Taj Mahal attracts lakhs of people. However some people see more than the beauty of Taj Mahal. It is said that Taj Mahal was a Hindu temple which was partly modified by Shahjahan . The Muslim invasion of India is one of the bloodiest in History. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter. Afghanistan is now a Muslim country. The Bahmani sultans (1347- 1480) in central India made it a rule to kill 100,000 captives in a single day, and many more on other occasions. During their conquest they used to destroy lakhs of Hindu, jain and Buddhist temples. Was Taj Mahal one of those victim of the blood- thirsty moghuls ? The famous historian Shri P.N. Oak has proven that Taj Mahal is actually Tejo Mahalaya– a shiv temple-palace. His work was published in 1965 in the book, Taj Mahal – The True Story. The most valuable evidence of all that Tejo Mahalaya is not an Islamic building is in the Badshahnama which contains the history of the first twenty years of Shah Jahan’s reign. The writer Abdul Hamid has stated that Taj Mahal is a temple-palace taken from Jaipur’s Maharaja Jai sigh and the building was known as Raja Mansingh’s palace. Secret walled door that leads to other rooms Entrance to lower basement floor that is now bricked up. The timber door before it was sealed up with bricks. In 1974 American Professor Marvin Mills took a sample from this door for Carbon dating and concluded that the Taj Mahal is 300 Yrs older than Shahjahan. After this revelation, the Government of India removed the timber doors and the openings were bricked up, as shown in the previous photo. Secret stairways in the Taj Mahal. 1) The term Tajmahal itself never occurs in any mogul court paper or chronicle even in Aurangzeb's time. The attempt to explain it away as Taj-i-mahal is therefore, ridiculous. 2) The ending "Mahal"is never muslim because in none of the muslim countries around the world from Afghanistan to Algeria is there a building known as "Mahal". 3) The unusual explanation of the term Tajmahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal, who is buried in it, is illogical in at least two respects viz., firstly her name was never Mumtaj Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani and secondly one cannot omit the first three letters "Mum" from a woman's name to derive the remainder as the name of the building. 4) Since the lady's name was Mumtaz (ending with 'Z') the name of the building derived from her should have been Taz Mahal, if at all, and not Taj (spelled with a 'J'). 6) Shahjahan's own court chronicle, the Badshahnama, admits (page 403, vol 1) that a grand mansion of unique splendor, capped with a dome (Imaarat-a-Alishan wa Gumbaze) was taken from the Jaipur Maharaja Jaisigh for Mumtaz's burial, and the building was known as Raja Mansingh's palace.
