The texts described the process of building interstellar spaceships through anti-gravitational laws. It mentioned Laghima, a physiological phenomenon which allows humans to defy gravity.

Although, India was not ready to take the studies seriously, the Chinese announced to use the texts found in Tibet in their space research program. This was the very first time when a country had announced scientific research on anti-gravitational force.

As Ashoka instructed, the secret society had to remain confined to nine men and it’s believed they still exist in silence, working towards the welfare of humankind.
