Virgo 135the upper hand, I come down to establish the law once
again and this is done through my Ma-ya,” says the Great
Lord in the Bhagavadgi

ta. Every year the passage of the
Sun through the winter solstice, the advent of the Saviour,
is enacted as a mystery play by the Sun God who plays

forms the third point of triangle with Virgo is the dawn
of the gods and Sagittarius is the sign of the Saviour. Virgo
completes the fourth part of the circle with Sagittarius,
the sign of the Saviour. The present stage of evolution of
man is not sufficient to understand the highest keys of
