This painting should stimulate non-attachment, wisdom, imagination, intuition and determination in the observer and in the space it is displayed in.

According to Harish Johari in the Vedic numerology Ketu – the south node of the Moon is attributed to the number 7. Rahu and Ketu are known to be „half-planets“ or the two nodes of the Moon – the northern and the southern one respectively, placed 180 degree apart. They are non-material entities belonging to the Moon and representing the bipolar nature of man, whose influence on human emotions is well known. They are not fixed in space and are always retrograde.

On the personal level 7 is the psychic number of people born on day 7, 16 or 25 of any month. This mandala is appropriate to anyone attracted to it, born on those days or wishing to harmonize or strengthen the Ketu element in their personality.

Ganesh is the remover of obstacles and helps to create harmony and ease in ones life. I combined his yantra with a mandala design made from an ancient number grid named the Vedic square, choosing the number 3, which is connected to Ketu. Ganesha‘s yantra works in this painting as a mediator for harmonizing the personal energies with the universal energy of Ketu. Ketu is much less malefic than Rahu and he is considered to be the „cause of liberation“, the one who grants non-attachment, wisdom, the power of determination and psychic abilities. It rules over the Water element.

Its colours are light green, light blue and white and that is the overall feeling from the colours I have chosen as well. During the whole process of creation I have chanted and charged this painting with the Ketu mantra.
I applied for it the “wash”-technique by the Tantric artist Harish Johari and the above information about the Vedic numerology is based on his book Numerology (1990).
