"The Ode to Solar Architecture"

The Ode to Solar Architecture (Architecture as cosmic magic).

When the Man first took the stone in his hands to create his shelter, he became The Architect with total responsibility for craftsmanship.

But today, the orientation of international “Contemporary style”to material needs of the clients bring the misunderstanding to human scales, cut off the cosmic spirit of Architecture, its aesthetic, national and art mission. East is much more conservative in relations between Artificial and Natural spaces, under the First law of Ecology-“The partnership with the Nature”, called by Japanese as “Aiki”-“The road to harmony with the Universe”. So, many western professionals start to explore the Ancient traditions (New Age Art -France, Bauhaus, -Germany, Antroposofical society and Goethenaum by R.Steiner-Switserland, F. L. Wright-USA, ets) in their spiritual search to rise life and art on the principles of Energy. But spiritually limited West with misanthropic industrial society(were every global man is the same in thinking, needs, job) can’t answer these needs, becouse man must have special perception abilities to understand this -weltanschauung, called by K.G.Jung. Really, in old times of Bronse Age Europeans had the uniform language, values and Veda. The Mankind passed through Globalism thousands years ago, and it was bright, Aryan world! That makes demand in the rising interest to Eastern living energetical practices of home planning ,in such as Chinese Fen-Shui, Indian Vastu, Sthapatya Veda. The Idea of magic influence on dwelling in order to bring more Carmical possibilities to inhabitants seems cool, mythological, unreal from first sight , but it has a chance to exist if you can look on it from Vedic position. Home is not just the Corbusean “car for living”, it filled with different kinds of cosmic energies, identificated by atavars of Aryan Panteon.

Arian Gods like big family, never killed each other, they lived and gave to live for others.” Learn them ,by their Goods.”

And they are living inside, with love, care, protection or hatred for the owners. Home is a living being, it is the continuation of human body, like clothers. And Love is the heart of the home.

He can be sweet or dark, he can hold the memories, and the the living family under the protection of the Cosmic clan. In Roman houses there was Altar of Lars-Family Gods-Parents of Clan who care about home. In old Russian tradition, Grandfather –Domovoy ,who had been the reincarnated Family’s Patron-pro-relative in words of upper dimensions with the same functions. Home spirits had usually those sculpture at North side of home interior. In Rome with Fountain-spring , In Russia-in flowers decoration .Setting good communication with them determinates the better living. That is why Englishmen giving a name for their homes till now and British architects work in Architectural scale, based on feet, a human scale measurement system against market-metric! Old Russians also used the body module for Architectural design, based on “Pyad”-distance between open fingies on man’s hand ( about 17,5 cm). And every man –homeowner had his own “Pyad”-so, to garmonisate his home with Universe. Every individual is really cosmic, everyone can actualize his cosmic status….. In what way? The answer –is in current research of Mozaysky institute (Ministry of Defense, Russia), that meets with ancient Hindian concept.By the words of professor V.Andreew, home is just the empty box-resonator for energies, like primitive Dolmens (Megalith culture of Meots-Sinds South Russia, same age that Stonehenge)with round hall in stone wall. So the orientation of the round hall depends what Cosmic energies we wanna to catch and to harmonize with inner spaces for every/exact man .

So ,we must talk about “The Great Wheel”, ”Velikoe Kolo”,as Russians called it.

The Institute Maharishi, suggests following the Sun theory–old Arian tradition,

Suggest in its modern research of “Sthapatya Veda” that “The Sun during the day has

different energy not only by quantity, but mostly by quality”. “Every planet in the solar system correspondents to a specific structure within the human brain. The planets are the Cosmic Counterparts of the brain physiology. Positive and negative results of one’s own thoughts and

actions are reflected back to one through the planets. There is a system that neutralizes the negative influences and enhances the positive influences for all good in life.”(Maharishi Yaga

Program)

And that main idea makes the base concept in Aryan homeplanning, with orientation of different home spaces by their functions and geographical position of the Sun, during the day long. Contemporary architects can operate only with “the quantity of Sun energy,” called as ”insolation”. For example, according to Russian Construction Rules for our South Russian region, the insolation of living spaces must be more then 3hours a day….and that is all, there is no any other knowledge about the Father Sun, Living Suria!

In Hindu eyes, architecture considered to be production of magic replicas of sacred beings,so,

the Vedic Temple(vihama) and the home(as small family sacral spaces) being the house and the body of the deity, the plan a square of smaller squares dedicated to deities around the central

Brahma, the Mandala. The shrine consists of the perfect cube, the sikhara, being twice its height.

Buildings was based on the sastras, craftsmen’s books. Aryan people knew the psychotecnic

to meditate in order to rise the creative abilities of the human mind. They used special phonetic/voice vibration “Mantra” and visual symbols “Yantra”(energetic meditation symbols), usually consisted by concentrated circles with the Gates. Ancient Aryan architects reached the union with the Creator by Singing Mantra and walking by eyes along the perfect curved lines of Yantra. All Aryan temples was build on different Yantra plans. Similar misterical technology of Architectural design was used by others peoples in Europe, as Celts(well-known Celtic Labyrinths and motives in ornamentation), Ancient Greeks (Knoss Palace, Minotavr) .The Bull- head Man guarded the labyrinth, and Russian brother of Minotavr called Welles, who also had mission to be the policemen at the Gats in other Worlds(dimensions), to care for Artists and Craftsmen, to stalk souls along stars roads.

Four Gates with own guardian Gods were placed on each side of Jantra-Labyrynth.

The Irland’s Sidhs is very similar to Gates function with Hindian Stupaes and Kuban Dolmens. The main underground Temple of Welles was placed in Kolomna, near Moscow( now there is taboo on archeological works). Like the Great Solar Ring, the Great Labyrinth became one of the main figures of landscape magic.The reality has many faces, it also consists of many crossed,invisible worlds with the reasonable essences and invisible spirits, as on Celtic ornaments. The Celtic Labyrinth, based cross is well-known, but just few people can new, that it is the same “Parasimha-dharana Yantra’, with the mission of fighting the enemies overcamming the negative aspects of Planet’s influences. Sometime The Labyrynth serves as sacral initiation tool, or usually later, in Middle Ages even as fortification. Later, in dark ages of Christianity, it was placed even on Floor of The Main Cathedral in France as the symbol of Road to Jerusalem.

The circular type of building was very popular in Ancient Aryan world.

Atlantida was build in the same way, on Hindian Jantra.Platon enjoyed it and called it the Concentric, or Atlantic Architecture.

So, the projection of the Universe on the Mother-Earth made it possible to create the

Correct building, when the Father Sky gave the Spirit to the Mother Earth.

There was also special holidays , that it better to start the erection of the building.

The great holiday of Union of Sky and Earth called as Imbolk in Celtic tradition,

Gromovnitza in Vedic Russia, so in later goroscopes, peoples ,who were born on those days must be Architects(Aquarius).

In Iron Age the circular patterns of house plans continued to predominate in Britain. For example,well-known Irish Iron Age hut and the large Circular house with the timber walls in Little Woodbury Wiltshire.

Parthian and Sassanian city planning is characterized by the development of a circular city plan

(Merv, Hahra, Firusabad, with the Royal palace in its center and defensive wall at the periphery,

it is a types of plan which includes something from cosmological analogy and defense .

Egyptian Sun Temples of 5th Dynasty had the obelisk in the centre, square tapered shaft crowned

by a pyramid top, which acted as a symbol of the Sun-god and in which he could be invited to take up his residence.

The Ancient people understood that the real wisdom is connected with Universal Energy,

placing the Great Sun Ring on the lot of the building, bringing the order to the spaces.

There was the place were Architecture and Magic had met with the help of special Aryan Man-

Brother Druid, Brother Brahman, Brother Architect ,or Zodchiy. That was realy Cult,with needs

for the Man with special perception, abilities, and understanding the Universe to bring the order for Spaces. And old Russian Gretz –Zodchiy, translated to contemporary language as “A man, who is enlighting life of the Father-Sun.». Hindian “Visarga”mean lighting, spring.

Architect must be Zodchy again, he must understand the human nature and listen the wisper

of Univers –only then the Architecture will be the Magic again. Many of the Modern buildings are

our enemies and we must create unusual atmosphere in harmony of spaces and energies of

Universe.

Sometimes the spirit needs for involution, to came back to the point of early beginning ,point of “bindu” to came back to own roots(were all is in unit) and start the spiritual growth again, in Harmony with Universe.
