Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of auspicious beginnings, is seemingly immobile but is intensely active in the power of ideation, unlike Karthikeya, who circles the globe, riding on a white horse. The highest kind of energy can be generated through the most intense concentration. Any person could take physical breathing as an analogue to the systole and diastole of the universe, the ceaseless rhythm of cosmic ideation.
