The Geometry of Dharma: Ganesha's Lesson in the Cosmic Grove

A young seeker, Yogeshvara, witnesses the Dikpalakas arguing over directional authority. Ganesha intervenes and proves that true cosmic direction is not held by any external point, but is instead encompassed within the self. He demonstrates this by tracing the cardinal points with his body, teaching that internalized ethical alignment (Dharma) is the ultimate guide.
