The mystery on 

Concentric Circles.

 T.L. Subash Chandira Bose, Gary A. David, and Jack Andrews.

Introduction: All over the world the symbol of concentric circles, the one above the other with a common center were found. These circles were also found with vertical and horizontal lines getting intersecting at the center of the circles.

We would like to convey our sincere thanks to all our friends for their interest shown towards all our articles, especially on symbols and also for the encouragement shown to take-up the research and study on concentric circles. We are trying to unfold the mystery with the maximum possible evidences.

Observations: The three concentric circles were observed in holy temple. At Stonehenge the stones were laid in one, three, five and seven circles. The most commonly found at Stonehenge is with only one circle of stones. These concentric circles were also found on the rock surface (rock art).

The Common Questions: What is the common phenomenon between concentric circles found at Stonehenge and in Sacred temples? Why the number of circuits selected 1, 3, 5 and 7?  How many circles are in the concentric circles as a maximum? Where did the knowledge come from?  Is it an ancient geometry, if so what is that? Are these concentric circles related to spirituality? What was the information our ancestors left to us to understand?

Study:  The circles are the part of geometry, to draw a circle there must be a radius or diameter with linear measurement. The circles can be drawn with any arbitrary dimensions but it will not form uniform circles one above the other. There must be a specific method in selection of dimension of radius or diameter to form the uniform circles one above the other. What is the specific method to select the dimensions of radius or diameter? Let us refer to the ancient system of linear measurement.

Ancient system of measurement:  In India there are many ancient manuscripts related ancient geometry dating back to 3000-2000 B.C.  Among those manuscripts here we are referring to the System of Measurement, Mayamata- Chapter-6 translated by Bruno Dagens.

5.1     All habitations are defined by their dimensions. I am going to present as well, methodically though in few words, the system of measurements.

5.2     The Manangula is known to be a multiple of an atom, defined as that which can be perceived by the vision of those who have mastered their senses.

5.3-6a          Eight atoms are equal to a speck of dust, in multiplying each eight time by eight, we go from a speck of dust to the tip of a hair, then to a nit, to a louse and finally to a grain of barley. Eight barley grains make a digit (angula), which is called matra. Twelve digits makes a span  (vitrasi) twice which is cubit  (hasta), called by the learned, as well, kisku; twenty –five digits make a prajapatya, twenty –six a dhanurmusti and twenty seven a dhanurgraha

5.6a-11a For vehicle and seats the cubit (is used), for buildings the dhanurmusti and for the villages and so on the dhanurgraha; the ordinary cubit however may serve for any building; it is called ratni, aratni, bhuja, bahu and kara. Four cubits makes a pole, also called yasti; eight poles (danda) makes a rope (rajju), villages are to be measured in poles asare pattana, (towns), nigama, kheta, palaces…. etc.; but houses are to be in cubits. The sage should employ the span for vehicle and seat, the digit for small (objects) and the barley grain for very small ones. Such is the system of measurements.

5.11b-12 The matrangula is equal to the middle phalanx of the middle finger of the officiating priest; it is (to be used for measurements relating to) sacrifices…etc.; that which has just been mentioned is also called “ digit taken from the body” (dehalabdhangula).

5.13a  Knowing all this the architect must measure rigorously.

5.3-6a          Eight atoms are equal to a speck of dust, in multiplying each eight time by eight, we go from a speck of dust to the tip of a hair, then to a nit, to a louse and finally to a grain of barley. Eight barley grains make a digit (angula), which is called matra.

We have tabulated above for the convenient and comparison purposes.

One angula is equal to 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 (Atom, Speck of dust, tip of hair, nit, louse and grain of barley) 2,62,144 atoms (one atom - 0.000003814 angula in length). Dear researchers and scholars kindly note the number eight plays a big role in the ancient system of measurements.

Let us draw a square with the measurement of a side as One Atom, and also apply the so called (!!!!!!) Pythagorean theorem “The Square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right-angled triangle”.

The lowest 0.000003814 angula (the size of atom) as a measurement of a side, a square is drawn. The area of the sides is added and the square root of the product is the hypotenuse. Then the size of hypotenuse, taken as the measurement for the sides in the next square. By continuing 66 times, we shall arrive at the square with a side of one angula. With the same principle, from 1 angula to 262,144 angula can be arrived in 36 times. We shall find every alternative number with the size (side of the square) of  1, 2,4, 8,16,32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 …………and 262,144.        

Leaving the first dimension one (1) we shall observe from 1 to 32 (ten times 10), 32 to 512 (eight times 8) and 512 to 262144 (eighteen times 18). In total 36 times. (36 times!) 36 square and if the squares changed to circles there are 36 circles one above the other.

Let us unfold the secret and sacred code by referring to the Holy Bible, Old Testament and the Book of Ezekiel- Vision of temple. The size of the womb chamber of the most Holy of Holies is 20 long cubits long and 20 long cubits wide. The wall thickness of the womb chamber is six long cubits, so the total area 32x32 = 1024 square long cubits. We must note the final and largest diagram (in Mayamata, Chapter- 7 diagrams) is the square divided in to 1024 equal squares, which is Indrakanta. The secret of the ten stages (Ten) from I to 32 indirectly is shown in the size of Holy of Holies.

Let us further double its area: 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192,16384, 32768, 65536, 131072 and 262144 square long cubits. In the eighth stage (Eight) of doubling the area we find 262144, which is the area of a square having sides of 512 long cubits long and 512 long cubits wide (512 x 512 = 262144). The size of the outer court of Ezekiel’s temple is 500 long cubits long and 500 long cubits wide, having a wall thickness of 6 long cubits. Which means the size of the outer court including the wall thickness shall be 512 long cubits long and 512 long cubits wide. Is it a coincidence or reality? We shall discuss in the conclusion chapter.

“Surprise is the beginning of understanding the Mystery”

Are we in a right path in our study and research on concentric circles? Is there any evidence in the form of symbols or ancient pictures with 36 circles found in our mother earth? It is natural to the human beings to ask for such evidences; it appears our ancestors were also aware of this and left the evidence in Central Australia for our ready reference.

A ceremonial wooden plaque found at central Australia now kept in the National Museum of Victoria. Thanks to Erich Von Daniken- “ Path way to Heaven”.

Naturally the human curiosity mounts once we begin to understand mystery. As a result, the mind begins to think and look for the ancient symbolic evidence to prove the principle of doubling the area or related to Pythagorean theorem “The Square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right-angled triangle” 

Yes, it is there and that is the Master Key found in Tamil Nadu, India.

The Master Key symbol

An ancient geometrical diagram (master key) was found by the author, T.L.Subash Chandira Bose on the floor of a cave temple in Tamil Nadu. India. According to Srirangam Sridaran-The Registration officer, the department of Archeology-Government of Tamil Nadu. The construction of this Cave temple is of Mutharaiyar style temple architecture and it was built during  (600-700 A.D.) the period of Pallava Kings.

The vertical lines at the extreme right side are the sides of a square. In which the damura (one of the Symbols in Lord Siva’s hands) is marked in the middle and triangles with circles are marked at the ends. The diagonal of the square is the line in 45 degree with two arrow marks. The side of the square (horizontally) further extended with two arrow marks followed by a vertical line up the center of diagram (Key). The total horizontal length of the line measured nearly 39.5 inches. (N.B. The diagram (Key) at left side is slightly oblong in shape).

 

The Key symbols found in Tamil Nadu, India.

The vertical line (the side of the square) is measured to be 7 inches and let us apply the Pythagorean theorem.

The 39.59797975 inches, which is very close to 39.5 inches as measured by the author.

Is there any such symbol or geometrical diagram found any where in the world? Please advise.

Ancient Geometry: Ancient Geometry in India dated back to an unknown period, but based on ancient scripts we can assume it may be around 3000-2000 B.C. Regarding the approximate period Shree Satya Prakash Sarasvati wrote in his book  “Geometry in Ancient India.

“The Vedic Samhitas are followed by Brahmanas and the Aranyakas. As we have said elsewhere that if we accept 3000 B.C. as a convenient date for the Rig Vedic culture, the Aitareya Brahmana will have to be assigned a date 2500-2000 B.C.; The Satapatha Brahmana 1500 B.C., the Taittiriya samhita 1600 B.C. and this period is then followed by the period of the Srautra Sutras.

Pythagorean theorem:  “The Square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right-angled triangle”. (Pythagoras born around 580 B.C.)

If the side of the square is 1,

The diagonal                              =Ö 1x1 +1x1

                                                =1.414213562

Savisesa, Bodhayanya (Bsl.1.61-62)

“Increase the measures by its third part and this third by its own fourth less the thirty- fourth;(the name of this increased measure) is savisesa”

We get the following expression   = 1 + 1/3 + 1/(3x4) – 1/(3x4x34)

                                                = 1 + .3333333 +0.0833333 – 0.00245098

                                                = 1.4166666 – 0.00245098

                                                = 1.41421562

The difference is                         =1.41421562  - 1.414213562  =0.000002058

“It should be emphasized that the Geometry did not developed in this country (India) on the lines of Euclid; Bodhayana discovered his theorem independently prior to Pythagoras in context of the fire alters. The Yajnasatas were the open-air observatories and laboratories of our ancients and in their contexts the developed geometry, mensuration, astronomy, and structural geometry including bricks of different sizes. In context the Satapatha Brahmana and Taitiriya Samhita discovered rational rectangles and property of circles”. “Geometry in Ancient India” Page-12: Shree Satya Prakash Sarasvati.

Doubling the area of Square and circle: We would like reproducing the ancient ritual ceremony of marking the cardinal and ordinal directions and doubling the area of a square and the formation of three concentric circles. For more details please refer our article “A Key to unlock The Mystery on Bolivia’s rock Symbols.”

We shall observe in the above diagrams the formation three concentric circles in the ancient ritual ceremony of marking the cardinal and ordinal directions.

As discussed earlier the area of square and circle is doubled up to 36 times in the diagrams below.

 

Dear sisters and brothers please come up with your suggestions, comments regarding the major role of nine circles in the above three diagrams and if you’ve seen any figure of nine concentric circles please let us know about it.

Conclusion:

According to south Indian culture a person soon after his death will attain the Paralokha  (Heaven). It is “the” sacred meaning of Stonehenge with single stone circles.

A point at the center and followed by three circles, the center point is The Principle Unity (The center of the most holy place), the circuit next to the center is heaven, next to the heaven circuit is physical level of existence and the last circuit is the infra physical levels of existence. It is “the” sacred meaning of three concentric circles.

According Indian temple architecture (Kiriya Patham) the temple construction is compared with the human (AdamKadam / Purusa) body. The human body is covered with five sheaths such as Food sheath, Breath sheath, Mind sheath, Intelligence sheath and Bliss sheath. These five sheaths represented as courts (circles) in the temple. It is “the” sacred meaning of five concentric circles.

Also in the temple there can be one or three or five courts, among those three are very common.

The Muhammadan Seventh Heaven, is said to be "beyond the power of description." ...In the Islamic graded concept of Heaven, which also prevailed among the Jews, one goes after death to the Heaven he has earned on earth, and the Seventh Heaven, ruled by Abraham, is the ultimate one, a region of pure light lying above the other six, the Heaven of Heavens. Anyone in Seventh Heaven is thus in a state of ineffable bliss, having the greatest pleasure possible. Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins (Hendrickson, 1987). In Indian Hindu religion as one step ahead, we find seven upper world and Seven Lower world. The twice the seven are the births with the ultimate goal to reach the Heaven. It is “the” sacred meaning of seven concentric circles.

(N.B. When counting the circles, the center most circle or in the form dot (Bhindu) not to be counted)  

In the book “Symbols of Art, Religion and Philosophy”-Dr. Padma Sudhi, Page 19.

“The circle represents the principle, which has no beginning, no end, perfectly symmetrical and at all points equidistant from the center. It indicates the realm of radiations from the one center, at times an enclosure, a periphery, a circumscribed field of action”.

In the book “The Secret Teaching of the Vedas” The eastern Answers to the Mystery of Life – Stephen Knapp. Chapter Seven: Heaven and Hell and the basic structure of the Universe, page 141-142. The Basic Universal Structure.

“To begin with, it is explained that the material cosmic creation is like a cloud within a corner of the unlimited spiritual sky. Within this cloud there are unlimited universe. Each universe is enclosed by a shell of the material elements, making the interior completely dark except for the light of the sun. The Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.11.41) explains: “The layers of elements covering the universe are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universe clustered together appear like atoms in a huge combination.”

This indicates that if we were to travel to the dark outskirts of the universe, we would run into a shell of Earth that encircles the universe. The thickness of the shell would be ten times thicker than the universe is wide. After that would be a layer of Water ten times thicker than the layer of earth. Then there are layers of fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego. Of course, the form of the elements in these layers is more subtle than what we normally find on this planet. The interior of the universe is very small in comparison to the layers of elements, which encircle it. Obviously, therefore, no one can ever get out of this universe by means of any mechanical or material perfection.”  (Earth, Water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego - Eight).

 “ The earth planet, situated in the middle planetary system, it is called Bharatavarsa or Jambudvipa. The Srimad-Bhagavatam (5.20.3-42) describes six other major islands above Jambudvipa. These are Plaksadvipa and then Salmalidvipa. Above that is Kusadvipa or the moon planet. Beyond Kusadvipa is Krauncadvipa which has width of 12,80,000 miles, The island of Sakadvipa, the planet of the pious, is next whose inhabitants practice pranayama and mystic yoga, and in trance worship the supreme Lord in the form of Vayu.

The next planet is Puskaradvipa or Brahmaloka, which is 51,200,000 miles in diameter and is surrounded by an ocean of very tasty water. On this planet is a great lotus flower with 100,000,000 pure golden petals, as effulgent as the flames fire. The lotus is considered the sitting place of Lord Brahma, who is the most powerful living being in the universe and who is therefore sometimes called Bhagavan. The inhabitants of this planet worship the supreme as represented by Lord Brahma. In the middle of that island is a great mountain named Manasottara, which forms the boundary between the inner side and outer side of the island. Its breaths and height are 80,000 miles.”

What is the relation of 10, 8, and 512 in ancient system measurements, doubling the area of square, the creation of universe and the Ezekiel’s temple?    Let us assume the 10 multiplied by 10 in 8 times, 10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10 =100,000,000. Are these 100,000,000 the pure golden petals, which is the sitting place Lord Brahma? – Is the secret of the ten stages (Ten) from I to 32 indirectly is shown in the size of Holy of Holy of Ezekiel’s temple?

Will the fact that the structure of universe is ten times thicker than the one before will be helpful to those who are researching on the theory “10 Dimensions”?

What is the link between size of Ezekiel’s temple (512 x512) in square shape and the circle drawn inside the square with a diameter of 512 long cubits and the dimensions 51,200,000 miles in diameter of Brahmaloka?

Added to the above. Why the open space at the center of Ezekiel’s temple including the most holy of holy chamber is 80 long cubits x 80 long cubits? Is it connected to “In the middle of that island is a great mountain named Manasottara, which forms the boundary between the inner side and outer side of the island .Its breaths and height are 80,000 miles?”

In the book “The Secret Doctrine” –H.P.Balavatsky, page 83: Stanza III-continued,

10. FATHER –MOTHER SPIN A WEB WHOSE UPPER END IS FASTENED TO SPIRIT (Purusha), THE LIGHT OF THE ONE DARKNESS, AND THE LOWER ONE TO MATTER (Prakriti) ITS (the spirit’s) SHADOWY END; AND THIS WEB IS THE UNIVERSE SPUN OUT SUBSTANCES MADE IN ONE, WHICH IS SWABHAVAT (a).

(a) In the Mundukya (Mundaka) Upanishad it is written, “ As a spider throws out and retreat its web, as herbs spring up in the ground… so is the Universe derived from the undecaying one” (I.1.7). Brahma, as “the germ of unknown Darkness,” is the material from which all evolves and develops “as the web from the spider, as foam from the water,” etc. This is only graphic and true if Brahma the “Creator” is, as a term, derived from the root brih, to increase or expand. Brahma “expands” and becomes the universe woven out of his own substance.

The same idea has been beautifully expressed by Goethe, who says:

“Thus at the roaring loom of Time I ply,

And weave for God the garment thou see’st Him by”.

Modern Science is the newborn baby to Mother Nature and what the today’s science tries to discover is only the past, not the present or the future. But our ancestors lived all around this material world already discovered the secrets of past, present and future with their power of spiritual knowledge and left the sacred information in the symbolic representation of concentric circles one above the other for the future generation. We observe a stone dropped in water pond naturally forms the concentric circle, the surface of water in a glass form concentric circles when it was kept near a vibrating machine and surprisingly the terrestrial waves are in concentric circles.

All the above reveals the secret of sacred meaning that “ We are all from The One and shall return to That One. That One is The Supreme Soul. Our Athmas (Souls) are the part of Paramatha (The Supreme Soul) as the water drops shine on sun light, we shall know our self (shine) once we realize our inner self. The gradual increase and decrease in the dimension of concentric circles indicate the concept of evolve and dissolve (originated from the One and return to The One). This is indicated in geometrical pattern as concentric circles; one above the other and it is the symbolic representation of cosmic creation and a most sacred one. These geometrical patterns were originated from the ancient ritual practice of marking the cardinal and ordinal directions and doubling the area of the squares/circles/oblongs. Based on the Harrapa clay seal of 4000 years ago that the knowledge of ancient geometry was known to all over the world.

In this article we have only collected the various flowers (ancient data) from east to west and tied in a string and decorated beautifully for garlanding the memorials or monuments of those who spent life for the world peace.” May their soul rest in peace”.

The concentric circles found all over the world is an eye opening to realize that the people of our earth are interconnected and we are all of one human family. It is our hope that these discoveries of ancient symbols, will continue to bring us all together in peace and we will see the wonderful connectedness of us all along with the cultural diversity that makes us all unique. We will continue to search out and bring public, as yet undiscovered sites that will push forward this goal.  – Jack Andrews. “Concentric circle petroglyphs (rock carvings) are found throughout the American Southwest. To the Ancient Ones these may have represented the shaman's passage from one world to the next, for instance, from the physical world to the spiritual world. Concentric circles may also have signified the footsteps of Masau'u, the Hopi god of both the physical earth and the Underworld inhabited in the afterlife by departed spirits. (The Hopi are American Indians who have lived for millennia in Arizona, USA.) Still another interpretation involves the Sun, which the Hopi call Tawa. This was and still is conceptualized as the Supreme Being or Creator instead of merely the astronomical body seen by contemporary science. 'In Pueblo explanations of this old symbol, so standardized as possibly to warrant designation as a glyph, the outer circle represents the ring of light around the Sun, the second represents Sun himself, and the inner circle or dot his umbilicus, which opens to provide mankind with game and other food.' [Alex Patterson, Rock Art Symbols of the Greater Southwest, p. 66] Although this distinction between the various rings differs slightly from the interpretation provided by T.L. Subash Chandira Bose above, the fact remains that the ancient people of North America viewed concentric circles as possessing great inter-dimensional significance. In essence, concentric circles formed the tunnel leading to the mysterious Unknown."  -Gary A. David. “Living in this earth is a surprise and dying in this earth is certain” - T.L.Subash Chandira Bose.
