RAUDRA TANDAV OR ANANDA TANDAV?
Tandav toh Param Ishwar Ki kriya hai
so, hokar rahega.
Sristi ke bhakton par yeh nirbhar hai ki
Shiv Raudra Tandav karte hain, Ya Phir Ananda Tandav.
“Tandava is the very motion of the Supreme God,
so it is inevitable.
What is, however, determined in the acts of the devotees,
is whether Shiva will dance in anger,
or then, in joy,” said Rishi Suta, enigmatically.
“I wrote all this many years ago, dear Shaunaka, upon the realisation that extreme situations can give rise to the movement of the cosmos itself. That, which bhakts call the Dance of Shiva.
We must, each one of us, be careful of what our own little steps are capable of leading to. They are indeed capable of the Mighty God making up His mind on what to do with His own creation.
At the time of Sati’s death, the picture of Shiva was the terribly angry Shiva. What is called Raudra Roop, or Bhairava. But Shiva's inner most and preferred nature, is Bhola, the Nath who is simple, and wants happiness for all. It is up to us to share this preferred dream and dance of His, Aum Namah Shivaye.”
( From the book SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller.)
