DIVINE DANCE AT SAHASRARA
Introduction “Shiva, the Mahadeva, Mahayogi, Maheswara, Parameswara, is ‘NATRAJ’, the Lord of the Dance. Shiva is the COSMIC DANCER, and through his dancing, He brings about the Powers of Evolution, Maintenance, and finally THE ULTIMATE DISSOLUTION OF THE WORLD. Shiva carries a drum in his upper left hand a tongue of flame. Fire is the means of which the great dissolution will occur. Thus ;the LORD holds the creation and ; destruction in his hands. NATRAJ dances on the prostrate body of a bhoot called Aposmara purusha, who symbolises ignorance and the darkness of ignorance. His dancing releases man from the bondage of ignorance and allows him to rise above worldly existence. He dances within a ring ; a bandhan of flame and light which is the AUM, the sound which set the creation into motion. The resulting three gunas are symbolised in the trident and the rhythm of creation is symbolised in the drum. His other hands are signifying protection and forgiveness” ................ 13.1 DIVINE DANCE DESTROYS KARMA T “Just as Swan separates milk from water, so does the Lord by performing the Divine Dance at Sahasrara removes all the impurities and Karmas and saves the Jiva from the cycle of Samsara”. Verse 120 13,2 WITNESS DIVINE DANCE IN SAHASRARA THROUGH DHARANA T “From the Sahasrara peak, the heavenly Ganges flows through the Sushumna and if attention is focussed on this Sushumna Nadi, and is made to settle in the Sahasrara, then the Divine Dance can be experienced”. Verse 589 ................ 13.3 T On seeing Tamarind, the taste buds in tongue are activated. Similarly, witnessing the Divine Dance at Sahasrara will unconsciously make tears (due to Aananda) of joy flow. The heart will melt with Joy”. Verse 2778 ..............
