  • Summary

  • Narrated by Shantha Lakshmi

    Chapter 4 of Shall We Dance explores the profound journey of Shiva as Nataraja, the Cosmic Dancer, embodying the cycles of creation and destruction through his dance. The chapter delves into India's rich oral tradition, emphasizing how cultural knowledge has been preserved through storytelling, songs, and chants.

    It explains the concept of Shiva in three states—Arupa (Formless), Rupa-Arupa (Formless Form), and Sarupa (With Form)—and how his dance as Nataraja aligns with cosmic phenomena, particularly the Orion constellation.

    The chapter also highlights the celebration of Mahashivratri and the intersection of cosmology, science, and spirituality in understanding Shiva's cosmic role.
