The beads should be green, red, black and white, that is, in accordance with the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as the four elements of air, fire, earth and waters, and in harmony with the four temperaments. Movement from these four corners indicates a circular change. 9 This game, which is very similar to the rituals and sun dance of Latin American natives, clearly shows the special feature of the chess board. The chess board can be seen as an expanded form of a diagram with four squares, one white and the other black, which is an interpretation of the mandala of Shiva or God in the position of the ruler. Each of these four squares, around an unspecified center, is considered the end point of the circle. The back-to-back white and black pieces in this simple diagram of the chess board 10 indicate its historical importance. The resulting rectangular shape is equivalent to the symbol of yin-yang in Chinese philosophy or the world in its fundamental duality.If the world of the senses in its evolutionary development is affected to some extent by the plurality of inherent qualities of space and time, then Vastu-Mandala in turn is derived from the division of time by space. Therefore, mandala is the reverse reflection of the fundamental fusion of space and time, and its ontological significance lies in this point.From another point of view, the universe is woven of three main qualities or types (guna) 13, and the mandala represents this weaving of the universe in a general way that corresponds to the main directions of the place. The similarity between Vastu-Mandala and weaving can be found in the sequence of colors, which is reminiscent of the threads of a fabric, one visible and the other hidden.In addition, the coming together of black and white is like the two sides of a mandala, which although they are basically complementary, but actually act against each other. On the one hand, Mandala is Purusha - Mandala means the symbol of the universal spirit (Purusha) - because it is the supreme and eternal gem of the universe.On the other hand, mandala is a symbol of Vastu. The geometric quality of this symbol expresses the overall spirit while its mere quantitative extension describes existence.The dual meaning that is characteristic of Vastu-Purusha-Mandala and exists in every symbol, is realized in the battle that takes place in the game of chess. This battle, as we said before, is basically the battle of devas and asuras who are fighting over the chess board of this world. This is where the black and white color symbol of chess houses finds its high value; The white beads are the division of light and the black beads are the division of darkness. To some extent, it can be said that the battle that takes place on the chessboard is both a battle between two material or worldly armies, each of which fights in defense of a principle14, and a battle between the human spirit and darkness. These are two different forms of "Jihad"; Jihad Asghar and Jihad Akbar as mentioned in a hadith of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH).Also, it is possible to see the connection of the same symbol that appeared in the game of chess with the theory of Bhagavad Gita - a book about kshatriyas.If we interpret the importance of different chess pieces in a spiritual and spiritual language, then the king is a symbol of the heart or soul and the other pieces will each be a symbol of a power of the soul. In addition, the movements of these pieces on the chessboard represent the realization of possible things in the world; The straight movement of chariots or chariots, the cross movement of elephants, each moving in houses of the same color, and the complex movements of horses. The straight movement that passes through houses of different colors seems to be logical, basically masculine, while the cross movement is an existential [and reproductive] - and therefore feminine - movement. Jumping horses can be equated with "intuition".What, more than anything else, attracted the attention of nobles and caste (class) warriors, is the connection between will and destiny, and this meaning - if the movements of the pieces are based on thought and reflection - is best possible in the game of chess. is depicted. Alphonsus Hakim, in his book on chess, relates how a king in India wished to know whether the world obeyed reason or chance. Two wise men and Tenni Chand, one of the king's advisers, gave different answers. To prove his claim, one of them gave the example of the game of chess, in which reason prevails over chance and chance, while the other made the dice, which is a symbol of fate and destiny. is a chess player - he preferred this game to backgammon, a game based on chance, because in chess wisdom always trumps ignorance.At each stage of the chess game, a person is free to choose among several possible moves. But every move has inevitable consequences, and therefore the scope for free choice is constantly reduced with some kind of necessity, and what is obtained at the end of the game is not the result of coincidence, but the result of a series of serious and complex rules. It is here that we can see not only the relationship between will and destiny but also the relationship between freedom and science. The chess player, except in the case of a careless move by his opponent, will only be able to maintain his freedom of action according to the rules of the game - that is, any permitted move. In other words, freedom of action is in complete harmony with prediction and knowledge of possible movements, and conversely, aimless movement, although it appears to be free and spontaneous at the beginning, will actually lead to the loss of freedom at the end of the game. .Now this "royal art" is going to rule the outer and inner world - in full accordance with the laws of the universe. The requirement of this art is "wisdom" or knowledge of possibilities. Therefore, every possible thing is present in the universal and divine spirit in a unified way. True wisdom is more or less the soul (purusha) whose symbol is the geometric aspect of the 16 chessboards or the sign of the fundamental unity of the world's possibilities.
