The Vedic Square
The presence of magic squares related to the planets, known as astrological
Yantras, clearly shows that the mystic power of numbers was known in
ancient India. The Vedic Square is a good example of this knowledge.
Nothing about the origin of the Vedic Square is known in India. The designs
obtained from this square are used as decorative patterns in various palaces
and shrines throughout India. Although not popular in India now, it has
played a significant role there in the past. Muslim artists and craftsmen as
well have used the Vedic Square to obtain many of their patterns.
The book Islamic Patterns 1 contains the Vedic Square, as well as dozens of
fantastic designs and patterns which were obtained from it. The square itself
is a table of multiplication of numbers. Instead of using the double numbers
obtained by multiplication of single numbers, they are reduced here to single
whole numbers. For example, 7 x 6 = 42 = 6. This use of single numbers
makes the Vedic Square very unique and significant. We can see the
repetition of numbers 1 to 9 very clearly (see page 19).
With the exception of number 3 and number 6, each number appears in six
squares. Numbers 3 and 6 appear in twelve squares. The number 9 is unique
in the Vedic Square—it repeats 21 times! By joining the midpoints of the
square of any of the nine numbers, a diagram can be obtained. The book
Islamic Patterns shows how, by using these basic patterns, the craftsmen of
the Islamic world developed intricate and beautiful patterns.
These patterns can greatly assist numerologists. I use them to examine how
numbers relate to each other visually. The patterns in this book are provided
as a visual aid to readers and numerologists who care to work with them. The
visuals from the Vedic Square are purely geometric. Playing with these
patterns will engage both hemispheres of the brain and will help the intuitive
faculty obtain the information hidden behind these figures. By joining
