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> | According to Hindu belief, Shiva performs a variety of dances.
