The Extraordinary Birth of Skanda | Harnessing the Power of Śiva 

This episode unpacks the rich symbology in the gods causing Śiva to spill his sacred seed in order to father Kārttikeya (also known as Skanda), General of the Celestial Army. What can we learn about sacred masculine, sacred feminine and their divine union? This story is embodied in the yoga posture skandāsana, war god pose.
