Namaste
Today I saw my first UAV drone.
I was rushing home during work break lunch to get in a hot stock buy, when looking out my automobile windshield I spot this slow moving UAV about 15 to 25 telephone poles in distance upward from ground level in the sky to my right.
It was bright white in colour, tubular like a huge gas pipe with one end softly pointed and slightly fatter at one end, it had two rather skinny wings coming out slightly off-center with vertical tips at the end of the wings, there were smaller off angle wings at one end, something like an antenna dish, the "cigar" like body was about the length of a car but obviously not wide in body like an automobile and no way could a human sit in it or on it (Unmaned Aerial Vehicle).
It was moving very slow, then tipped slightly to it's right on a curving descent while increasing speed and spanned right over the freeway as cars slowed down in "shock".
Since the flight pattern shifted, I do not think it was fully pre-programmed in "auto" so there must have been a little bit of remote control in the mix of GPS coordinates.
I think this was a military drone, but I couldn't see any "mini-rocket" or RPG mounted on it.
They are here, there are drones coming, be it good or bad, killing terrorists, or us, or delivering packages, looking into your backyard, bringing you hot samosas or a new type of milk delivery to your front door, and so ...
A while back I posted thoughts on who (as far as religions) is going to be the first to conduct a private commercial operation to the moon planet to erect a religious monument, murti, icon on the surface of the moon. I am hoping it will be the Hindus, whoever is the first to do so this will have a HUGE psychological impact across the world, imagine a Shiva Lingam or Brahma or Ram placed on the moon? Or will it be a Christian cross? Someone is going to do it, and I already pointed out there are some Jains working such a project with likely backing of a certain multi-billionaire Silicon Valley Jain (California). So don't laugh at the future, I will be shown right again, that first murti on the moon is probably going to be an "idol" of a naked Tirthankara in lotus position.
Back to drones.
Suddenly after seeing this drone for the first time, sort of a "prequel" plays like a little movie preview in my mind.
I see a murti of a Deva being escorted out on top of a palanquin by priests and devotees from one temple across town a few blocks to the temple of a Devi to met Her (this happens sometimes in India).
The next I see in my imagination is a beautiful "9 metals" murti of Devi mounted on a drone in a temple courtyard in New Jersey surrounded by happy devotees and priests, bells and incense, it takes off into the sky to the cries of Jai Amba and flys to a temple courtyard near Pittsburg PA, hovering down and landing to the cheers and chants of devotees and priests who the bow and worship.
The drone then takes off again and flys to a Cleveland temple, again landing in a square, then off to the next and the next.
Amba eventually lands at a temple in Los Angeles where a Lingam resides. Amba is escorted by priests off the drone and taken into the sanctum to met Shiva.
A huge festival of lights then begins, the entire outside of the temple decorated with strings of white lights goes bright in the night.
Crazy?
No, not crazy. A future which you can perhaps make come to pass or be part of. A headline in the online edition of the New York Times. Or Hinduism Today. The future is coming.
