According to Hindu mythology, inside the Wawel Hill there is one of the seven Earth’s Chakra points. Hindu esoteric thinkers claim that every Chakra is part of a powerful energy field which connects all living things. These energy centers are believed to possess an extraordinary power. The other points are in Delhi, Mecca, Delphi, Jerusalem, Rome, and Velehrad. The “magic stone” was to be situated under the St. Geron Crypt in the northwest corner of the Wawel’s courtyard.
