In the 12th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan explains the five Cosmic functions that govern the Universe and reveals how the same principle operates within the human body through the 7 chakras, highlighting the deeper significance of Vinayaka worship in temples.

What does it mean to merge with God as God? To help seekers understand this truth, the mirthu or idols of God we're consecrated in temples and we were  taught that “the heart is the great temple and the body is its shrine.” In our ashram, through this 21 days Penance, every being  were consecrated.


The primordial cosmic power performs five divine functions: Creation, Protection, Destruction, Concealment, and bestowing Grace. To carry out these acts, it manifested five forms from itself, Brahma for Creation, Vishnu for Protection, Rudra for Dissolution Destruction, Mahesha for Concealment, and Sadasiva for Grace. Just as these powers govern the Universe, they are also established within the human body to guide, protect and sustain life. The five elements (Pancha Bhootas) do not function by themselves; the Divine power moves and directs them.
The realized being have installed the Parabrahma Sakthi in Top head- the sahsrara,  Sadasiva, the giver of Grace, is established at the forehead,  Maheshwara, the power that veils truth, resides in the throat. Rudra, the force of transformation and destruction, is placed in the chest. Vishnu abides in the navel lotus. Brahma, the creative force, is established in the Swadhisthana. Vinayaka, the remover of obstacles, is installed in the Muladhara. For this reason, worship in temples always begins with Vinayaka. The practice of Thoppukaranam reminds us of the awakening and upward movement of spiritual energy through the chakras in the body.
The power that governs the entire Universe and pervades everything is called Kundalini Shakti. When this power remains in its still and undisturbed state, it is described as the state of Shiva, the state of Brahman, the Supreme Brahman, the pure state, the void state, or the state of Nirvana.
In the beginning, the Universe existed as one without movement. Today we see many groves of trees, but once there was only a single tree. From that one tree, countless trees emerged. This transformation from the one to many is termed as   Samashti, viyasthi.   One seed has manifested as the entire creation.
The Vedas illustrate this truth through the tree called  Ashvattha. Trees on Earth are deep rooted under the soil, sprouts from the soil  and eventually return to the soil. But the Ashvattha tree described in the Vedas,  its roots are in outer space or sky,  its leaves touches the earth, and eventually again returns back to where the roots are.
In the same way, all beings who arise from the Supreme Brahman will eventually return to that very source. This return to the original state is called liberation (Moksha)!
