Scene: A sacred diagram with corners labeled; luminous Sanskrit vowels orbit the maṇḍala; ‘namo’ syllables appear as golden glyphs; personified Dharma, Jñāna, Vairāgya, Aiśvarya stand in respective corners; bindu and visarga symbols seal the opposite forces (Adharma etc.) beneath protective lines.
FAQs
Inner virtues (dharma, jñāna, vairāgya, aiśvarya) are to be ritually installed, while their negations are acknowledged and ritually pacified.
No tīrtha is specified; the emphasis is on maṇḍala-nyāsa and mantric symbolism used across sacred sites.
Use vowels and ‘namo’ mantric elements to place/worship virtues in corners; use bindu (ṃ) and visarga (ḥ) to worship adharma and related counterparts.
