Taṇḍavam (also known as Taṇḍava nṛtya) is a
divine dance performed by the Hindu god Shiva. Shiva's Tandava is described as a vigorous dance that is
the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution.
The cosmic dance
of Shiva symbolizes the interplay of dynamic and static divine energy
flow, containing the five principles of eternal energy — creation,
preservation, destruction, illusion and emancipation.
·
Srishti - creation, evolution
·
Sthiti -
preservation, support
·
Samhara - destruction, evolution
·
Tirobhava - illusion
·
Anugraha - release, emancipation, grace
Thus Tandava symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and
destruction, as well as the daily rhythm of birth and death. Shiva
is the symbol of 'Brahmn', the universal consciousness.
Is there any scientific reason why Shiva does Tandava?
Ø Every time when Universe is created or destroyed, Shiva
dances on stotram which was sing originally by Ravana, King of Lanka when he
was at Mount Kailash. Shiva dances in definite pattern with his cosmic drum
releasing the vibrations of Universe endlessly. The
Cosmic drum known as “damru” the
instrument of the Shiva,
and is said to be created by Shiva to produce spiritual sounds by which the
whole universe has
been created and regulated. Also the sound produced by Cosmic drum is said to
be origin from where Sanskrit is created. He dances to control the infinite
amount of energy released when Universe is created at Big Bang. With his long
hairs he holds the released matter and energy together. He was present before
the universe and will be there after the universe, he is timeless and is not
affected by death.
Ø Recently
discovered particle “Higgs Boson”, known
as God Particle is said to be there before universe and binds every matter and
energy together.
Ø Shiva
long hair extends from zero to infinite represents the Higgs field.
This is the reason Shiva statue is at CERN, world biggest
