This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the eight principal methods described in the Vaimānika Śāstra for the construction and operation of vimanas (ancient flying machines). These include Maantrika Vritti (mantric method), Tantrika Vritti (tantric method), Kritaka Vritti (mechanical method), Dravya Siddhi (alchemical method), Jala-Stambhana Tantra (water submersion resistance), Gurutva-Laghava Tantra (gravity manipulation), Akaasha Shakti (etheric energy), and a Hybrid Vritti that synthesizes spiritual and mechanical approaches. Special emphasis is placed on Maantrika Vritti, which is explored as a proto-nanotechnological model rooted in vibrational activation. This section investigates its parallels with quantum resonance, Rasa Shastra, and sustainability principles. We argue that these methods not only reflect advanced symbolic thought but also present early models of environmentally sustainable technological practices.
