Shiva’s Dance Tandav [Video]

Shiva’s Dance Tandav

Shiva is known all over the world as a god of awe-inspiring and terrible power. For many Hindus, he is the god of destruction, rending the universe and bringing existence back to emptiness when the Yuga cycle comes to its completion. Shiva, the Bholenath is the Bhairava. He is the savior and the destroyer. And hence, he is comprehensible yet beyond one’s grasp. He is compassionate, yet the one with the third ‘destructive’ eye. And above all, he is the God of the Gods. Shiva is everything that describes the exact opposites. As Nataraja, the Lord of Dance, Shiva comes across as the fiercest yet the most joyful divine cosmic dancer. The Tandava, a hugely popular dance form, is believed to have been performed by Shiva. And most of us believe that it represents the most aggressive form of dance. In this role, Shiva is an essential element of the godhead, clearing the way for the universe to renew itself. Famously, Shiva accomplishes his destruction through his Tandava — also called Tandava Natyam — a dance he performs to bring the universe to darkness. But Shiva’s Tandava has many other purposes as well. He dances through the entire cycle of the lifespan of the universe. From its creation to its preservation and, finally, to its end, the Tandava accompanies and makes possible all three phases. The Hindu scriptures narrate various occasions when Shiva performed the Tandava. When Sati, the first wife of Shiva gave up her life in Daksha’s sacrifice, Shiva is said to have performed the Rudra Tandava to express his grief and anger. The Shivapradosha stotra says when Shiva performs the Sandhya Tandava, the other gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Sarasvati, Lakshmi and Indra play musical instruments and sing Shiva’s praises.The dance performed by Shiva’s wife Parvati in response to Shiva’s Tandava is known as Lasya, in which the movements are gentle, graceful and sometimes erotic. Some scholars consider Lasya to be the feminine version of Tandava. There are two types of Lasya, Jarita Lasya and Yauvaka Lasya.
