Sacred Geometry at Tara Sanctuary

(The ideas on this Web Page came from a paper called: "The Tara Chapel at Mana is based on Sacred Geometry of Bio Harmonic Architecture" written by the architect of Tara Sanctuary Reinhard Kanuka-Fuchs)

The design of TARA chapel is based on the laws of sacred geometry. It's strongest components are harmony and the golden mean proportions.

With it's purpose of practising unity in Meditation, Song, Dance and Prayer the harmonic proportions are essential.

From the outside harmony is expressed in a multitude of equilateral triangles touching various important points of the building, connecting them.

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 
The unity principle can also be demonstrated by a series of concentric circles with the centre of gravity in the centre of the small "soul eye" windows above the annexes

 

  
he centre of the chapel is a point of gravity, union and essence and it radiates symmetrically out in all directions touching annexes and octagon corners. In the same way bells radiate sound in all directions from the gravity centre of the bell framing.

 

 

  
The law of the golden section as expressed in the beauty of the human form, can be seen in various aspects of nature. It is present in the harmonious properties of the human voice as brilliances appearing as high frequencies in the golden mean (Fibonacci) proportions of 3000, 5000, 8000 Hertz. Throughout the building the golden mean ratio of 1:1.618 can be found, pleasing to the eye and soul, our sense of harmony and beauty. It is creating a space of divine acoustics, where the sound seems to ascend. Drawing IV accentuates examples of the golden ratio in various parts of the chapel and bell tower.

 

  

 

The vibrational harmony of this building can be directly experienced.

If you would like an opportunity to see, hear and feel the chapel ( which at present is still a building site) you can do so by participating in one of Mana's many courses (see Mana schedule and visit our web site). You could also book for a personal retreat. While you are at Mana you may have the chance to join us in one of the scheduled events at the sanctuary.

Many people have commented that the ringing of the bells and the silent beauty of the stone chapel has touched deep ancient feelings in their hearts.
