Nazca Marking:
The nine circles on
left end, six circles on right end are marked at distance, so that the outer
circle of left side shall inter sect the third circle of right side at a
horizontal line. Many lines are projected (joining various intersection points)
as shown, nine points for the square (red). Also
the four points for another square (Green) are
located with projected lines and four circles (which diameter equal to the
third circle) and two squares red and green were marked. The base of the red square falls on the line
joining the centers of the two groups of circles from left to right hand side. It will be very lengthy description to high
light the each and every lines in the diagram, hence we request the readers to
permit us to proceed further.
If the diameter of the first circle is one, the diameter of circles shall be: 1, 1.414213562, 2, 2.828427125, 4, 5.656854249, 8, 11.3137085 and 16. The area of the circles will also doubled accordingly. We shall discuss more in our future articles.
Vastu-Pada-Vinyasa or Vastu- Pursha- Nandala (Site Planning)
We have already discussed about the formation of sixteen rays based on “Vastu Shilpa Shastra”, in the same Shilpa shastra we shall find the Vastu –Pada-Vinyasa or Vastu- Pursha- Nandala (Site Planning) which consists of a square with sixty-four squares or eighty-one squares.
In Mayamata Chapter 7 “Diagrams” There are thirty-two diagrams from one square (Sakala) up one thousand twenty four squares (32 x32) (Indra-Kanta).
In the below diagram we shall observe how the square can be divided into 4, 16, 64 and 1024 small squares which are Pecaka (Peca + Ka), Mahapitha, Munduka, Triyuta and Indra-Kanta respectively.
The hidden square (green) plays a important role in the Nazca marking. If the intersection points green and red squares joined together, the square (red) gets divided into 16 parts (small squares). The diagonal lines further divide the square into 64, 256 and 1024 parts (small squares)
In general practice a diagram of a square with sixty-four or ninety-one squares, which are Munduka and Paramasayin diagrams respectively. In this study of Nazca marking the Munduka diagram was selected and the square was divided into sixty-four parts.
There are various diagrams showing the location of the forty-five gods in the Vastu-Purusa- Mandalam (site planning). But we are going to discuss the diagram related to the Nazca Marking.
In Mayamata: chapter 7-43-48&57 it is described the various locations of the forty-five divinities (immortals) in which the centermost four squares (Brahamasthanam) is to be allocated to the supreme, followed by four divinities facing the supreme in each of four directions (E, S, W & N), six are on each corners (6x4=24) of sub directions (NE, SE, SW and NW) and sixteen (4x4=16) on the periphery of the outer most squares (refer diagram bottom left).
In the Nazca marking we find four squares at the center (Brahamasthanam) followed by two squares for one in the direction of East, South, West and North. The balance forty is distributed in the periphery of the square. Six at each corner (4x6=24) and four at each cardinal direction (4x4=16). Interestingly the four at the each cardinal direction are hidden in the Nazca Marking or purposely not shown.
In the book “Hidden Treasure of Vastu Shilpa Shastra and Indian Traditions” - Derebail Muralidhar Rao, Page 23.) It is also mentioned the importance of each directions in which the East (Poorva or Puurab) and North (Uttra) direction should not be blocked. Since it is the source of the East- male and the North- Female issue. In case of Nazca Marking the other two directions such as west and south also was not blocked.
We also find in the above-referred book the West (Paschima) is the source of Name, Fame and Prosperity. The South (Dakshina) is the source of Wealth, Crops and happiness.
A Mutharaiyar chief Kamban Arriyan brother of Alambakkathu Visaya Nallulan built a swastika shaped during eighth century A.D. It is located at Thiruvallaarai, Tiruchirapalli District, Tamil Nadu, and India. In which all the four directions are not blocked and also the steps in all four directions are projecting out side the well.
The Cross: We have observed that with the ancient
methods of ancient geometry of marking cardinal four directions form the plus +
mark (“KA”) the cross. Let us observe how the shape of the + mark get changes
in the Nazca marking.
The cross with
in square form divides a square into four parts, which is indicated as Pecaka
(Peca + Ka) In Mayamata, Chapter7.43-47a: There are four squares for Brahma In
the center of the sixty-four square diagram and in Chapter7.57: “KA” (occupies) four squares.
The one of the names of the Sun is Arka, and
Peruvian name is Inca or Ica.
According to Sri
Jaganatha Swamiji. Ka the
first consonant means the creation, crea
which is marked by + symbol which denotes
the unification of male and female energy or Siva and sakti or truth and
illusion.
Surprisingly the East
and North direction are male and female energy and it were not blocked also the
opposite directions such as west and South also not blocked in the Nazca
Marking.
The “MU” symbol: The
four cardinal directions, the four ordinals and their intermediate divisions
radiate from the pivotal point at the center form the symbol of “MU” with
sixteen rays.
The Sixteen rays and Plus “+” mark: We have already discussed about the plus mark and
sixteen directions. As a matter of interest let us observe a 16 rays marking on
a stone in Peru, a stone slab found in Bolivia, a rock art in Cuba and a clay
seal found during the excavation at Harrapa site. These wonderful finding a
stone slab a single + (cross), in clay seal and three concentric crosses on a
rock surface are exactly identical to the Nazca marking.
Was there any links between Harappa of ancient India in East And
Cuba, Bolivia and Peru in West?
