Shiva | Shiva está lleno de contrastes. Simboliza tanto la contemplación como la acción. Con frecuencia es representado en meditación profunda como un yogui mendicante. Como Maha Yogui, o gran yogui, es el Rey de Yoguis, la encarnación suprema del espíritu del ascetismo. Shiva también personifica el universo dinámico. En las escrituras hindúes Kurma-Purana, Shiva dice: "Soy el originador, el dios que mora en la dicha suprema. Yo, el yogui, danzo eternamente.<ref>Stella Kramrisch, ''La Presencia de Shiva'' (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1981), p. 439.</ref> | ||
According to Hindu belief, Shiva performs a variety of dances. One of his dances is called the Tandava. This is his dance of creation and destruction. Shiva dances the universe into being, sustains it and then dances it out of existence at the end of an age. The most celebrated representation of Shiva is that of Nataraja, the King of Dancers, or Lord of the Dance. The place of Nataraja’s dance is the golden hall at the center of the universe. This golden hall represents the heart of man. One Hindu hymn that celebrates Shiva’s dance says that “as he dances, he appears in the immaculate lotus of the heart.”<ref>Ibid., pp. 439–40.</ref> | According to Hindu belief, Shiva performs a variety of dances.
