In
1931 Nicholas Roerich painted the following triptych, that is, a
composition of three paintings, which is known as "Fiat Rex" (two Latin
words meaning " Let him be king").
In
the middle appears the master Morya, while on the
left side appears a medieval knigh and on the right side appears a
medieval maiden.
About this work a follower of the Roerichs commented the following:
« The "Fiat Rex" triptych represents the ritual of returning the Stone to Shamballa. The energy balance is ensured by the presence of the male and female partner.
Nicholas
carrying the sword is shown on the left with a sword, the tip of which
points downwards, the pommel of the sword looks like a goblet of fire
Helena is shown on the right with a goblet from which a flame issues. The Chest no longer appears, the Stone has been placed in the Cup as in the representation of Melchizedek in Chartres. The Sword balances the Cup.
The three characters are descending into the depths by a stone stairway. In the center he appears as a King of the depths of the dark red rocks, Master Morya. In his hands the Mahatma holds a circle with a brilliant diamond, it is the crown of the Brotherhood.
Who is the glowing crown for?
The rays of light are like wings behind the back; around the head, there is a golden halo; Lilac and blue glowing aura, golden sparks pierce the darkness.
At
the sides, two figures in medieval garb recall Count Ekkehard of
Meissen and his wife Uta von Ballenstedt, who were an earlier
incarnation of the Roerichs.
(Cid's observation: this assertion was stated by Roerich's master, but it was most likely a lie.)
On
the left a knight with sword and shield with the three circles that are
painted on the medieval coffin, on the right a noblewoman holding the
goblet of fire in her left hand. The pommel of the sword also looks like a cup of fire.
Nicholas-Ekkehard
holds a shield and a sword in his hand, symbolizing the manifestation
of an active principle and the defense of the achievements of the
spirit. Nicholas Roerich was repeatedly referred to as the Master, a Warrior of the Spirit.
While
the fire in the hands of Helena-Uta does not correspond so much to the
traditional role of the guardian of the hearth, but indicates the
guardian of the spiritual fire.
The
cup and the sword appear in the novel Percevaus by Chrètien de Troyes
active in the courts of Champagne and Flanders between 1160 and 1190, at
the time of the Knights Templar. The Parsifal, Percevaus or Perceval, tells the story of the search for the Grail. A procession is narrated where the Grail is carried by a female character, a girl. The cup welcomes, receives and custody is feminine. The sword, on the other hand, is penetrating and combative/defensive, it is masculine. »

The rays that come out from master Morya
The
esoteric instructors explained that when a human has his crown chakra
highly activated, at a subtle level he emits an energetic light upwards,
and that the angels also have energy rays that come out diagonally from
their backs but the clairvoyants mistook for wings. .
The
upward ray on master Morya may be, but instead putting the diagonal
rays seems inappropriate because angels are much more evolved
than humans.
Where is this painting?
The
Roerichs had this work in the living room of their house in Kullu,
India, and below I show you several photos where they appear in front of
this triptych:
And currently this work is in the Roerich Museum in Moscow:
