chakrans on the feet) symbolizes the opportunity to follow the spiritual way, which leads
into the “kingdom of God”. In other words, despite the Christian philosophy of
interpretation of the anoiting process, the process itself was carried out practically along
the points of the main chakrans…
Rigden: Absolutely, if one learns more about the rituals related to anointing with oil
among various peoples of the world from ancient times up to now, one can discover a
“surprising similarity” in the application of “prayed, sanctified” oil on practically one
and the same parts of the body; that is to say, the activation of man’s certain energy
zones – chakrans. For example, these rituals were common among the ancient
Egyptians, residents of the ancient and modern India, people inhabiting the territories of
the Ancient Europe, Ural, and Siberia. Furthermore, it suffices for an attentive person
only to have a look at how peoples in different parts of the planet portray gods and
saints, with what symbols their main chakrans are marked, and how fingers of their
hands are connected in certain combinations. It is only for ignorant people that all this is
explained in the categories of general concepts as symbols that form a connection
between Heaven and Earth and as ways to create and control a creation of one or another
deity. They actually point at the spiritual symbols and the practical knowledge of selfperfection
of man.
For example, in Christianity, more precisely, in the Orthodoxy, there is the icon “Savior
in Glory”. Once it occupied one of the central positions of the iconostasis of the
Orthodox cathedral. In Rus, it was exactly during that time (the 14 th -15 th centuries) when
the low rood screen was replaced by the big screen – iconostasis, which separated the
altar from the main part of the temple. So this icon is notable for its unusual symbolism.
