Natraja Statue 6′

Natraja Statue 6′

Material used: Sandstone is used in this Natraj Statue. Sandstone is also called red stone which is a native stone of Odisha. This statue is carved in keeping in my all the detailings and ornamentations on the statue.

The purpose of the dance is to release men from the illusion of the idea of the “self” and of the physical world. The cosmic dance was conducted in Chidambaram in South India, called the center of the universe by some Hindus. The gestures of the dance represent Shiva’s five activities, creation (symbolized by the drum), protection (by the “fear not” hand gesture), destruction (by the fire), embodiment (by the foot planted on the ground), and release (by the foot held aloft).

Shiva represents apocalypse and creation as he dances away the illusory world of Maya transforming it into power and enlightenment.

The symbolism of Siva Nataraja in religion, art, and science are merged as one. In God’s endless dance of creation, preservation, destruction, and paired graces is hidden a deep understanding of our universe. Aum Namah Sivaya.

Bhashya Nataraja, the King of Dance, has four arms. The upper right-hand holds the drum from which creation issues forth. The lower right hand is raised in blessing, betokening preservation. The upper left hand holds a flame, which is destruction, the dissolution of form. The right leg, representing obscuring grace, stands upon Apasmarapurusha, a soul temporarily earth-bound by its own sloth, confusion, and forgetfulness.

The uplifted left leg is revealing grace, which releases the mature soul from bondage. The lower left-hand gestures toward that holy foot in the assurance that Siva’s grace is the refuge for everyone, the way to liberation. The circle of fire represents the cosmos and especially consciousness. The all-devouring form looming above is Mahakala, “Great Time.” The cobra around Natraja Statue’s waist is kundalini shakti, the soul-impelling cosmic power resident within all.

Natraja’s dance is not just a symbol. It is taking place within each of us, at the atomic level, at this very moment. The Agamas proclaim, “The birth of the world, its maintenance, its destruction, the soul’s obscuration, and liberation are the five acts of His dance.”
