The mystery on a

Geometrical Nazca Marking.

Part-4

T.L. Subash Chandira Bose and Jack Andrews.

The formation of 48 dots in the outer (12) squares and 32 dots in the inner (8) squares. Including the dots at the center it will be 33 at the middle and 81 in the whole diagram.

When we had a close observation at the twelve squares located at the center, there is a single dot at the center of four squares allotted for Brahman (Supreme) and 32 dots the remaining eight squares. Therefore there are 33 dots at the middle of the Nazca Marking.

Thirty- two dots: In other cases the kingdom is laid out in the likeness of Indira’s heaven on the Mt. Meru; where Indira, the prototypic king, sits within his centrally located palace surrounded by the retinue of 32 gods, each assigned a point on a circle divided into 32 segments. (See M I. 253. A detailed description of Indira’s Heaven is given in Coedes and Archaimbault , 1973, summarized in Wales, 1977,pp.54f) (The Symbolisum of the Stupa – Adrin Snodgrass page 74-75). The guiding concept is a 32 fold divisions of space around a center: the four cardinal directions, the four ordinals and their intermediate divisions and subdivisions radiate from the pivotal point. The classical Indian expression of this division is the Lotus with 32 petals opening out from a central pericarp. In the Brahmanic formulations Indra is surrounded by regents of the four directions (Lokapala) and 28 zodiacal “houses”, represents the phases of the moon, so that the celestial mandala combined spatial and temporal elements. Buddhist texts differ from this, relocating the regents of four Directions to the slopes of meru and compassing Indra with 32 Gods. (Mus,1935,p.299. n.1.)

Thirty- Three dots: We would to like refer the followings from “The Symbolisum of the Stupa” – Adrin Snodgrass page 74-75).“The Meru-Palace was not located at the geometrical center of the city but was slightly displaced to the east, the direction of the rising sun; and recalling the symbolism of the dawn and imagery of the sun at daybreak as the cosmic pillar or the palace supported on a single pillar (ekattambha pasada) Above the audience hall rose a seven tiered Meru tower, beneath which stood the lion throne, adorned with representation of the thirty-three gods of Indira’s Heaven”. (Weina- Geldren, 1930, p.50; 1956,p.4; Audoyer, 1949,p. 142; Wales, 1977. pp.138f.; Sarkisyanz,1965,pp.84f.; Shorto, 1963,pp.588f).

It is to be emphasized that the one side (bottom) of the marking is superimposed with line joining the center of the two groups of concentric circles at left and right.

Mayamata: Chapter- 7.49: It should be known that the spirit of the building (Vastupurusa) has six bones, single heart, four vulnerable points, and four vessels, and that he lies upon the ground, his head move towards the east.

Chapter- 7.45-54, It is that the divinity named Arya is head that Savindra is his right arm Savindra his right hand, that Apa and Apavasta are his left arm and (left) hand, that Vivasvant is his right side and Mahidhara his left, that in the middle of the trunk is Brahma, that his testicles are Mitra, that his right foot (and leg) are Indra and Indraraja and his left foot and (and leg) are Rudra and Rudrajaya. His rests with his face to the ground; his six bones, orientated to the east and north, are in the middle of the (central) parts of the site. In the center of the site are found the vulnerable points and the heart which is Brahma and it is from there that the Veins start. Thus the spirit is described. Chapter- 7.55-56, It is known that it is He, who. In every human dwelling, is responsible for good and for bad fortune, that is why the wise must avoid tormenting His Limbs with the “limbs” of the house for, if not, sorrows innumerable will fall upon the limbs of the owner of the house. Thus the sage must always spare the body of the spirit (in the course of construction).

In ATHARVEDA: About Skambha or Cosmic Creation; in which of his limbs does penance dwell? In which of his limbs is right deposited? In which part him abide the vow? In which on his limb is truth established?

From which of his limbs does the fire come forth? From which of his limbs issues and blows the wind?

From which limb does the moon take the measuring rod when he measures the form of great Skambha?

In which of his limbs does the earth reside? In what limb is atmosphere situated? In which of his limbs is space set? In which of his limb is set what is beyond space? Desiring what does Agni flame up high? ……..

In whose limb all the Gods, thirty and three in number are set together? Tell me of that Skambha, who may be he?………………………In whom the Gods, knowing Brahman, worship the supreme Brahman, he who knows the Gods eye to eye is verify a seer a knower. Great are the Gods who were born out of non-being, that one limb of Skambha men call non-being beyond. When the Skhamba, generating forth, evolved the Ancient One, he who knows this limb also knows by that knowledge the Ancient One. It was he in whose limbs the thirty-three Gods shared severally the portions among themselves. So verify the knowers of Brahman also know the thirty-three Gods. People know the golden-embryo as the supreme, in expressible. Yet it was the Skhamba in the beginning who poured forth that gold on the world. In the skhamba are contained the worlds. In him penance and law are established, you I know. O Skhamba, eye to eye, as wholly set in Indra. In Indra the world are, in Indra is penance, in Indra is law. You O Indra, I know eye-to-eye as wholly established in the Skhamba. ……………… .

According to Shree. Jaganatha swamiji “The number 33 which actually represent the divine and celestial energies or devas (Mupathu Mukkodi devar- thirty three crores divinities)”.

The Eighty- One dots: The forty-eight dots in the outer squares and thirty-three dots in the inner squares therefore there are eighty-one dots in the nazca marking. The eighty-one dots represents cells in Graha-Yantra in which the numerals one to nine are distributed such a way so that the additions (vertical, horizontal and diagonal) of these number will remain as eighty-one.

According to Shree. Jaganatha Swamji “ The number 81 means the creation of universe as 8 is the letter JA and KA is the letter one which forms the letter JAKA- the universe.

The Hidden square: The hidden square (green), which was observed, turned to 45 degree in the nazca marking play major role. If the intersection points green and red squares joined together, the square (green) gets divided into 9 parts (small squares). According to “Mayamata”-Chapter 7: Diagrams, the square with 9 parts is called “Pitha” diagram, which consists of nine squares that the four Vedas are at the four cardinal points and the Water, Fire, Ether and Wind (at intermediate points of which) the first is the northeast; in the center is earth. A square cannot be divided into 3 equal squares but it can be divided into 9 (3x3) and 81 (9x9) also 6561 (81x81). In mayamata the maximum number was restricted to 1024. Hence the hidden square has to be divided only up to 81 small squares as a maximum. We have already observed the number 81 forms the letter “JAKA” – universe.

The discovery of nine plants and also the ancient practice of Nava-graha worship (nine plants) originated in ancient India. The hidden squares with 9 small squares are the location of the nine plants of our solar system, which is part of the universe. It is to be emphasized that the birth and death are prefixed by the almighty. The individual horoscope is arrived with a complicated mathematical calculation based on the location of nine plants in the cosmos according to date and time of birth. The “Time” is the seed for the universe.

The Square and Circle: The square and circle symbolically represents the heaven and the earth. The Satapatha Brahmana XII.4.1.31: The square hearth is the Heaven world and round hearth is the world of earth. (Mandala- Square, Chakra-Circle). AV. cosmic creation: “The Skhamba upholds both heaven and earth.

The Key Symbol: The “Key” symbols (above) in the form geometrical drawing, found mostly in sacred locations such as temple and its annexure in Tamil Nadu India.

The key symbol found Tamil Nadu, India and the geometrical nazca marking compared and super imposed in the above diagrams. The geometrical method of division of 33 (66 twins for clarity purpose only 33 dots were shown) parts of outer circle and division 12 parts in second from outer circle also indicated.

When look at the geometrical nazca marking, the amazing fact that, there are four circles (excluding the center most) and twelve divisions. What a surprise! We got the result for the open challenge given Ancient Indian Vedas in the key symbol and in the geometrical nazca marking.

“Open challenge of the Vedic verses”

The Vedic Verses: AV -cosmic creation; One is the wheel, twelve are the bands, three are the hubs- who understands it? Therein are fixed three hundred and sixty pins, and pegs that are firmly fixed. RV. 1.164.11: The Twelve spoked wheel of the true (sun) revolves round the heaven and never (tends) to decay: seven hundred and twenty children in pair. Agni, abide in it. AV. X. 8.4: One is the Wheel (chakra), the pradhis are twelve in number, the naves (nabhyani) are three, what man hath understood it? Three hundred spokes (sanku) have thereupon been hammered, and sixty pin (khila) set firmly in their places.

One is the wheel, three are the hubs therefore there four circles, and twelve are spokes – 12 divisions!

Did we understand it?

What about three hundred and sixty pins and Seven hundred and twenty children in pair? – It will be continued in next article please.

Conclusion: we are concluding that the nazca marking is a geometrical symbol. Which was drawn based on ancient geometry such as ancient ritual method of marking cardinal, ordinal and its sub directions, doubling the area of squares/circles, Vastu –Purusa- Sastra (site planning), Vastu - Silpa - Sastra etc., etc. The Vastu-Purusa-Mandala and the Vastu-silpa-sastra are related to ancient temple architecture.

There are 33 limbs in the spinal cord of human being; these 33 limbs or knots are symbolically represented as a flag post in south Indian temple architecture. Hence a pole or pillar supposes to be erected at the center of the nazca marking. We force to repeat the below once again because that the one side (bottom) of the marking is superimposed with line joining the center of the two groups of concentric circles at left and right. We would to like refer the followings from “The Symbolisum of the Stupa” – Adrin Snodgrass page 74-75).“The Meru-Palace was not located at the geometrical center of the city but was slightly displaced to the east, the direction of the rising sun; and recalling the symbolism of the dawn and imagery of the sun at daybreak as the cosmic pillar or the palace supported on a single pillar (ekattambha pasada) Above the audience hall rose a seven tiered Meru tower, beneath which stood the lion throne, adorned with representation of the thirty-three gods of Indira’s Heaven”.

The cosmos has 3 existences: such as SARA (movable), STIRA (immovable) and UPAYA (neutral), which symbolically represented as 108. Which is the product of 12 x 9, where 12 indicates the rasis (signs) and 9 indicate nine planets. There are 27 Nakshathiras (stars), which is the product of 9 x3, where 3 indicate the existences. Hence it very closely related to astrology and numerology. The entire cosmos consist of all the stars (Nakshathiras), the immovable, the movable and the neutral. The maximum numbers of 81 dots in the nazca marking; 8-JA and 1-KA, the combination JAKA – The Universe or Cosmos.

The sacred concentric crosses are three (3) - The number three is the holiest of all numbers, it is still a part of our unconscious thinking. This is shown as the triangle, the habitual use of threes in listing things, even the classic cosmic technique of repeating something 3 times, with the 3rd repetition altered slightly to make the emphasis. In religions, the highest deities are in threes: Babylon had Anu, Bel and Ena; Greco-Roman Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, and the Christian Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. India the Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are denoted with the letters A, U, and M respectively.

The nazca marking is a Yantra. If it is a Yantra there must a Mantra. The seed or root Mantra, the first sound of cosmic creation with pure vibration, the shabda –brahama in which the supreme himself can be found. This pure sound vibration if manifested as the “OM” mantra. “OM, AUM, UM, HUM, AMAN and AMEN” (all one and the same) is combination of three letters A, U, and M. The cosmic sound, the seed or root mantra “OM” abides in the center of the Nazca marking. With out vibration nothing can exist in this universe, that is the reason the seed or root mantra, the first sound of cosmic creation with pure vibration the “OM, AUM, UM, HUM, AMAN and AMEN” is common to all the religion in this mother earth. We Are from the “One and return to that One”. “ One without a second” which in Sanskrit “Ekam eva advitiyam”

A sacred symbol OM was found near Sedona, Arizona by Jack Andrew

The entire marking as whole closely related the sacred Vedic verse in Book of “Atharvana Veda” – Cosmic creation. The “Atharvana Veda” was born in ancient India describe more about the day-to-day life and welfare of human beings. This sacred knowledge might have reached all over the world possibly earlier to 2000 B.C., knowing the importance of the sacred knowledge of cosmic creation, the GGF or Geometrical Nazca Marking must the contribution of our Great Grand Fathers of native Indians of America, who had the traditional practice of Sun worship. “The Sun: He is an energetic powerful person of bilious nature. He represents courage, will power, muscular strength and authority. He has domain over rules. He has a preference for open places, Hills and forests, metropolitan cities and famous places of worship”- The Incredible India (p.167-168). The native Indians of America would have selected the location near “Pampa” in Andes hills.

N.B. If some one who visited the particular site and taken the linear measurement of the Nazca marking; also kind enough to come forward to give a feed back, we assure you we will unfolded many more mystery on this GGF in near future.
