Shiva is a study in contrasts. He symbolizes both contemplation and action. He is often shown deep in meditation as a mendicant yogi. As the Maha Yogi, or great yogi, he is the King of Yogis, the supreme embodiment of the spirit of asceticism. Shiva also personifies the dynamic universe. In the Hindu scripture Kurma-Purana, Shiva says: “I am the originator, the god abiding in supreme bliss. I, the yogi, dance eternally.<ref>Stella Kramrisch, ''The Presence of Shiva'' (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1981), p. 439.</ref>
Шива полон контрастов. Он символизирует и созерцание, и действие. Его часто изображают в виде нищего йога, погруженного в глубокую медитацию. Как Маха Йог, или великий йог, он является Царем всех йогов, высшим воплощением духа аскетизма. Шива также олицетворяет собой движущуюся вселенную. В индусском священном тексте «Курма-Пурана» Шива говорит: «Я — создатель, бог, пребывающий в состоянии высшего блаженства. Я — вечно танцующий йог».<ref>Stella Kramrisch, ''The Presence of Shiva'' (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1981), p. 439.</ref>


According to Hindu belief, Shiva performs a variety of dances. One of his dances is called the Tandava. This is his dance of creation and destruction. Shiva dances the universe into being, sustains it and then dances it out of existence at the end of an age. The most celebrated representation of Shiva is that of Nataraja, the King of Dancers, or Lord of the Dance. The place of Nataraja’s dance is the golden hall at the center of the universe. This golden hall represents the heart of man. One Hindu hymn that celebrates Shiva’s dance says that “as he dances, he appears in the immaculate lotus of the heart.”<ref>Ibid., pp. 439–40.</ref>
