Thanx everybody, I found the book.
Swarup and TS......, Yes, it is the same book.
Published in 1976, It is a forerunner of all these later days
Masonic mystery
books.
The masonic tradition is supposed to hold secrets about one tradition and one temple............
Imagine the volume of secrets, a land like ours, with so many coexisting(??) traditions and innumerable temples, can hold!!!!!!!!!!
This book seems like a small peep through a keyhole into a larger panorama.
It rather claims that there were various guilds of architects and sculptors, and each had a secret set of codes (with examples to convince us). They used it to record the actual history in the architectural motifs.
The monarchs (
and the
politicians
, if the practice still exists
) in their pompous and precarious epigraphs, can claim what they want about the way they ruled. But a man equipped with this secret language and a discerning eye can be supplied with a wealth of knowledge which is otherwise obliterated and not available.
(Since i have a scanned copy of the book, i need to use textbridge or some such programme to convert the images to text. I can post snippets of it then)
