Shiva Tandava: Not just anger, this dance is the secret of the universe!
Whenever there is talk of ‘Shiva Tandava’, it means in the minds of most people, the catastrophic anger of Lord Shiva, the dance which is a symbol of destruction. But is this a complete truth? Actually, Shiva’s orgy is not only a destruction but also a symbol of the balance of creation, energy, rhythm and universe. The word Tandava itself comes from Sanskrit’s ‘Tandu’ metal, which means ‘vibration’ or ‘energy’. The dance of Shiva in Nataraja form shows the cycle of building, rearing and destruction of the universe.
A total of seven orgy of Shiva is mentioned in the Puranas, Natyashastra and many Shaiva texts and each Tandava has its own different role and emotion. This orgy is not only a physical dance, but also a symbol of the spiritual process. Be it the Ganges flowing from Nataraja’s jata, be it ignorance under the feet or the nadhwani coming out of Damru, they all make the Tandava divine. Let’s know what are the seven major orgy of Shiva and what secrets are hidden in them.
