Chapter 18: The Secret of Kartikeya's Strength

While Kartikeya's physical strength and martial skills were legendary, his true strength lay in his unwavering focus and discipline. It is said that he practiced a form of intense yoga and meditation that connected him directly with the cosmic energies.

This practice, known only to a few sages, involved meditating at the confluence of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. By aligning himself with these fundamental forces, Kartikeya drew immense power and clarity, enabling him to perform extraordinary feats.

Kartikeya shared this secret with a select group of disciples, teaching them how to harness these elemental energies. These teachings formed the basis of many advanced yogic practices and esoteric traditions in later centuries, though the original source remained known to only a few.
