ABSTRACT
The profound relationship between yoga and the hieratic architecture of India has already been pointed out by the author friend Heinrich Zimmer, whose unfortunate early death is a great loss to indology.

The water of jewels flows amidst the flowers and the sound of the streaming water is melodious and pleasing. The concentrically constructed symbol evidently expresses the highest concentration, which can be achieved only when the previously described withdrawal and canalization of interest away from the impressions of the sense-world and from object-bound ideas is pushed to the limit and applied to the background of consciousness.
