Oh, Shiva - The Eternal Dancer Poem by Anita Sehgal
Oh, Shiva - The Eternal Dancer
Oh, Shiva!
Thy dance of death rages, underneath the fire..
Sprout the seeds of creation.
Thy benign gaze nourishes
What it then seeks to destroy
It matters not to Thee
To see Thy creation..
Vanish like hills of sand
For Thy createth and destroyeth…
For Thee, it is a game played at Thy abode the Kailash
Too far away to hear the anguished cries of the created and destroyed!
Shiva is associated with music and dance. Among his many forms and names is one of the eternal dancer-Natraj. His dance depicting the destruction of the world is known as the tandavntriya.
Kailash - is his abode in the Himalayas. In Hindu mythology symbolic as the centre of the universe.
