Indian Six

We already saw on this blog that six is the number related to the six pointed star in Judaism Islam and Hellenism (Pythagoras) - now I found out that also the Indians tie this emblem to the same number:
From: Dancing With Siva: Hinduism's Contemporary Catechism p. 728
(Himalayan Academy, 2003 ISBN 0945497962):
"Shatkona, “six-pointed star,” is two interlocking triangles, the upper stand for Siva, purusha and fire, and the lower for Shakti, prakriti and water. Their union gives birth to Sanat-kumara, whose sacred number is six".

Star of Vishnu

Wayne B. Chandler wrote in his book Ancient Future on p. 69
"In India the six-pointed star is called the star of Vishnu, reflecting the cosmic union between Kali and Shiva, the male and female forces of the universe…heralded as the star of creation by the Egyptians".

Anahata Chakra

Vivian Worthington wrote on P, 104 of her book
A history of yoga, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1982
(ISBN-10: 071009258X)
“The anahata chakra has twelve petals each containing a Sanskrit letter. The color is deep red. The center circle is pale yellow containing a six pointed star, within which is the Sanskrit letter Yang. At one point of the star is a smaller triangle containing a red colored lingam and yoni”.

Caste mark in India

Claude Reignier Conder in p. 292 of his book
"Heth and Moab: Explorations in Syria in 1881 and 1882"
says that the Six pointed star appears on Moslem houses marked in red paint against evil eye and is also a Caste mark in India and a common mediaeval mason’s mark.

Without the Star of David the whole point could have been lost. The designer of this sticker says: we (Israelis, represented by our national emblem) shall overcome!

Yelena Potkov - American Influence

Suggestions to change Israel’s emblem that were designed in 2001 by first and second year students in Wizo Design Academy in Haifa guided by Hayim Shtayer and Terry Schreuer; courtesy of Hayim Shtayer.
Designer: Yelena Potkov
Copyright: Yelena Potkov 2007
It seems that Yelena Potkov is troubled because American influence is so dominant in Israel that it is hard to find what is originally Israeli. The proportions are more or less as shown on this suggestion: four parts American ONE part (represented by the Star of David) Israeli.
