MAHA-SHIV-RATRI

Do you know why we celebrate maha-Shivaratri?

 Maha Shivaratri is a Hindu festival celebrated annually in reverence of the God Shiva. It is the day Shiva was married to the Goddess Parvati.

UPSC and Lord SHIVA.

Nataraja (The Lord (or King) of Dance), is a depiction of the Hindu God Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for the god Brahma to start the process of creation.

Tāṇḍava 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. While the Rudra Tandava depicts his violent nature, first as the creator and later as the destroyer of the universe, even of death itself; the Ananda Tandava depicts him as enjoying.

The dance is a pictorial allegory of the five principal manifestations of eternal energy.

1.'Srishti'  - creation, evolution  

2.'Sthiti'  - preservation, support 

3. 'Samhara'  - destruction, evolution

4. 'Tirobhava'  - illusion 

5. 'Anugraha' - release, emancipation, grace.

Good day...
