SIVA NATARAJA!!!

Photo: SIVA NATARAJA!!!

Very popular in the South of India, is this figure of Shiva Natraja- the Lord of Dance. And this figure inspires us into a deep, comprehensive understanding of our own ‘Bhole Nath’, as were refer to him in the North.Shiva is many things. He is mendicant, ascetic,yogi, and yet he is householder, family man, lover. He is meditator, the epitome of stillness, yet he is the cosmic dancer, master of flight. As Natraj ,we view Lord Shiva dancing in ecstasy , the Anand Tandav.
