The story of the Wawel Chakra began to gain attention in the mid-1930s, when it was reported that two visitors from India showed a particular interest in a specific corner of the Wawel Castle's courtyard. This incident sparked curiosity and led to the resurgence of the legend in the 1980s, particularly among New Age enthusiasts. The Wawel Chakra is often associated with the theosophical tradition, which posits the existence of seven Earth chakras, paralleling the seven chakras in the human body, believed to be significant spiritual and energetic points.

The legend also intertwines with Hindu mythology. It is said that the Hindu deity Shiva threw seven sacred stones across the earth as gifts to humanity, with one landing on Wawel Hill. This stone is believed to emit a powerful, positive spiritual energy. Despite being a part of local folklore and attracting both believers and curious tourists, the Wawel Chakra is not officially endorsed by the Wawel Castle authorities or the Catholic Church. In fact, efforts have been made to deflect attention away from the site due to its controversial nature.

Visitors to the Wawel Castle have often sought to experience the chakra's energy by touching the walls near the Chapel of St. Gereon. However, access to the specific location of the chakra is restricted, and the castle staff and conservationists have taken measures to protect the area. However, the existence and nature of the Wawel Chakra remain subjects of speculation and belief.
