Nataraja - Cosmic Dancer art byTalon Abraxas

 "The whole universe moves in an eternal cosmic rhythm."

- Paramahansa Yogananda Nataraja - Cosmic Dancer Talon Abraxas naṭarāj naṭarāja jai shiva shaṅkara naṭarāja. shivarāj shivarāja shambho shaṅkara shivarāja. "I salute Shiva, the form of the universe and lord of the cosmic dance. With his ankle bells tinkling, he crushes death under his feet." Nataraja literally means lord of the dance. Siva is the lord, the ultimate and effective cause of all creation and the dance is his act of creation, a dynamic rhythmic movement. His dance is a guided action, under his complete mastery, not an act of chaotic, random movements. The lord and the dance together constitute the projection of the Paramasiva, the highest eternal and formless Nirguna Brahman on the canvas of his own awakened state as Saguna Brahman.
