Natarajasana - The Lord of the Dance

Natarajasana - Lord of the Dance pose. This balancing pose ist dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva - the cosmic ECSTATIC dancer "Nataraja" (nata = dancer , raja = king). He performs the dance of BLISS in which the whole UNIVERSE is created, maintained and dissolved. The purpose of his DANCE is to release the SOULS of all men and women from the trap of ILLUSION. Nataraja furthermore symbolises the connection between religion and the ARTS, a FEARLESS celebration of the JOY of dance, untouched by forces of ignorance and evil, signifying a spirituality that transcends all DUALITY.
