  • Manifestation of five elements:

    • Fire (transformation, energy)

    • Earth (stability, nourishment)

    • Water (fluidity, life)

    • Air (movement, freedom)

    • Ether (space, potential)

  • Emergence of senses (speech, taste, hearing, touch)

• Symbolism

  • Elements reflect cosmic qualities and inner states

  • Universe ↔ Individual (macrocosm and microcosm)

• Dharma: Cosmic Order

  • Balances chaos of creation

  • Universal law sustaining harmony and purpose

• Philosophical Views

  • Swami Vivekananda: Creation = infinite consciousness manifesting

  • Sri Aurobindo: Evolutionary unfolding of consciousness

  • Elements = states of consciousness (ego, mind, soul)

  • Dharma = inner ethics + cosmic alignment → spiritual growth
