- W123222599 abstract "Siva as the cosmic dancer, as transformer, the liberator of energy from the spiraling and coiling nature, primordial, mysterious, symbol of spiritual ardor and passion for accomplishment and continuity of life, as the regenerator of the universe is the most classic and revered, well-known icon of Hinduism. The movements of Siva's dance orders the rhythms and melodies of the universe, at once a dance into meditative states of transcendence. His dance is the dance of cosmic evolution of matter which knows no beginning, no middle, and no end, and is entwined and engulfed in spirit--from cell spirituality. In consonance with the new age science and theoretical energy-physics, matter has transcended the process of showing connectedness with the whole and its interconnectedness within and without, with spirit, consciousness and energy moving in continual dance of transformation. Many parallels are found in Siva's dance representing the endless cycles of life, as they move from state state, from morphose metamorphoses. A new world view is emergent--one that is related closely the views of mystics of all ages and traditions, and subtle energy medicine and science. Siva is known as the destroyer of evil and ignorance, not destroyer for the sake of destruction, but for the sake of regeneration; transformation, transmutation, for recreating, cleansing out and eliminating the debris, the dross and the gross, transforming into strength, power, force (Shiva tramples the dwarf of ignorance and destroys Muyalakan, demons). OM NAMO SIVAYAH as mantra represents fearlessness and protection against evil, accident, and death. Its philosophy of involution and evolution of energy and spirit leaves its imprint in every material, physical, fiber, nerve, cell, atom, molecule, proton, photon--the power transcend--from the individual the collectivity. In the words of Lama Angarika Govinda to the enlightened man (human) whose consciousness embraces the universe, him (her) the universe becomes his/her body. In the yoga of the ida and pingala nadi blending into Sushumna from the physical, vital, mental and supramental, infusing and permeating power of the spirit into matter, in the dynamic Tandava Nritya--dance of bliss--the body becomes the spirit, and explicates the ultimate principle of Beauty--Sundaram--in bhakti yoga, in devotion, purity, piety (in puja ritual) in integrating it with the Eternal Moral Order i.e. applying the principle of Ultimate Goodness--in the movement of the wheel of Karma and Dharma--Truth and Righteousness as applied individual and collective life and order of humanity. Siva depicted as Ardhanarishvara--half man and half woman represents the union and differentiation of the Yin and Yang principle, the eternal feminine and masculine principle, complementing, supplementing, initiating and completing and fulfilling the divine play of the Transcendent Reality with the manifest reality in the phenomenal world of myriad changes of names and forms in lila (diverse, divine play) and unique rhythms and melodies of Siva's energies in the cosmos. Thus manifesting Satyam--Truth, Shivam--Goodness and Righteousness, and Sundaram--Beauty as the supportive and connecting principle in the universe, spelling out the principle of Love that integrates, unites and yet transcends all threads, beads and deeds into dynamic action for realization of the Supreme. Siva's counterparts or divine consorts are known as Shakti, Parvati, Bhavani, Uma, Maheshevari, et al. represent the unity of the male and female divine principle and the union and oneness of the being and psyche, as also the two hemispheres of the brain, intuition and intellect and their synthesis in higher knowledge and wisdom. Shiva wearing the garland of skulls and necklace of snakes, ashes on his forehead and body, represent detachment. It symbolizes overcoming of fear--including fear of death and attachments of worldly existence, falsehoods, obsessions, delusions, and conquering desires--and transforming sexual energy creative expressions, not fearing desires but able work with them making them a thalic energy, like in botany, not necessarily phallic in Freudian terms, where ojas are transmuted into rajas and tejas--purifed energy and light. …" @default.
