In, reality, without movement, it is not possible. This includes multiple movements, of the body and expression. When we are dancing, we forget all the pains end sufferings, we only enjoy that moment. Dance is not only giving you immense pleasure and peace but it is illustrating your thoughts through the movement of the body. Dance also represents the pain when you step it for someone else, at that time, you are waiting for loved ones to respond, expressing your thoughts via dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, Mira danced in the wait for Lord Krishna, she expressed her pain through dance. This dance shows the eagerness of waiting for someone you loved so immensely. Tandava is an aggressive form of dance, Ananda Tandava is a blissful dance. There are multiple dance forms which directly associates with life. The purpose of the dance is to unfold the various meanings and nuances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hindu-2178480_1280-1024x722.jpg\" alt=\"mira dance\" class=\"wp-image-729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hindu-2178480_1280-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hindu-2178480_1280-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hindu-2178480_1280-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hindu-2178480_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Nataraja\" >Nataraja<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Srishti\" >Srishti<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Samhara\" >Samhara<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Sthithi\" >Sthithi<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Tirobhava\" >Tirobhava<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Circle_of_Fire\" >Circle of Fire<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/16\/dance-nataraja-and-life\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nataraja\"><\/span><strong>Nataraja<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nataraja is a form of Shiva according to Indic stories including Shiva Purana. It recognizes him as lord of the dance. The statue of Nataraja stands beautifully balancing on the right leg and trampling a tiny figurine (see the image on top). The statue of Nataraja is framed by the circle of fire with the key metaphor, i.e. <em>\u201cKeep Calm and Move on\u201d<\/em>. This message shows the cycle of life (Samsara) is an ongoing process. We cannot stop the processes of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life includes multiple experiences such as joy, peace, happiness, grief, and much more. These experiences transform life immensely. It helps to understand the dynamics of life because all of them is a kind of dance form which we perform unknowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nataraja indicates Panchakritya which means the five most important elements. The key indications are; Srishti or creation, Samhara, the destruction, Sthithi means maintenance, Tirobhava, the concealment and Anugraha means blessings. Apart from these five elements, there is one more element that is a circle of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Srishti\"><\/span><strong>Srishti<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nataraja holds Damru in his left hand. The shape of <em>damru <\/em>is infinity which means time without end. Here, I depict that time is continuous and we all are connected with space and time. It goes constantly like life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life never stops, it includes joy, happiness, peace, grief, pain, and much more. We as human beings understand the cycle of life and infinity. Today, we are living but in the future, we will not. We must enjoy each moment of life and understand the concept of infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samhara\"><\/span><strong>Samhara<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right hand of Nataraja carries the fire. The form of the fire is shapeless or formless. It implies the constant change of shape and ignition. Even if, it connects with life. Fire teaches the lesson, how to burn their desires, unpleasurable moments, grief, egos, and much more. If we burn it, life becomes exceptionally smooth, and you will feel peace and always be compassionate to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fire-and-water-2354583_1920-1024x558.jpg\" alt=\"Water and Fire philosophy\" class=\"wp-image-251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fire-and-water-2354583_1920-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fire-and-water-2354583_1920-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fire-and-water-2354583_1920-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fire-and-water-2354583_1920-1536x838.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scimonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fire-and-water-2354583_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sthithi\"><\/span><strong>Sthithi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another hand of Nataraja represents the Abhay Mudra which depicts the protection of the beings.
