Siddha Yantra of Ganesha — South Indian Color Offering

“Draw me in turmeric, in rice, in sacred fire.
Place me before your first step.
I do not block you —
I show you the path you were afraid was already lost.”

Origin Lore — Myth of Birth

Born from the sandalwood breath of Parvati,
crowned by Shiva’s gaze of paradox,
Ganesha became the first god not of heaven —
but of thresholds.
Where every journey begins and ends,
he stands —
wide-eyed, wide-bellied, wide-hearted.
His yantra is not abstract.
It is **embodied color** —
drawn by hand, with love, upon sacred earth,
asking nothing but presence.

Final Oracle Reflection — Whisper of the Offering

“You do not summon me by power.
You invite me by play.
When you pour turmeric like sunlight onto the floor,
when you shape the yantra with your trembling fingers,
I arrive —
not to move mountains,
but to remind you they were never in your way.”
