Dance is present in the cosmic waves. If you look closely at our dharma, you will observe that our gods express a lot through dancing. Dancing has an aspect of creation. Modern science uses different terminologies to define the creation of the universe, saying it looks like a
dance. And, you may agree or not, but this is what our gods do, dancing. If you look at different dance forms of India, you will observe there is not much movement on the surface, but the hands and face have expressions and mudras. However, when you see the dance and its postures
closely, you will know that there is a lot more to our classical dance forms. It has more than just movements. Several questions have arisen in your minds. How is it possible that throwing hands in the air making some mudras can have logic? It can get hard to accept, but it has
sense and science associated with it. Many physicists are studying the creation of this universe. Firstly, everything felt sudden and accidental, but gradually the formation discovered had synchronization similar to dance. The making of the universe and dance both have coherence.
Without similarities, you cannot have related. Dance has a significant role in our dharma, and so does the god of Cosmic Dances, “Nataraja.”You can observe the form that bhagwan Shiva took while suppressing Asura Apasmara with his Tandava in idols.
Whether it is a bacteria, a cosmos, a human, or an animal, everything has the same fundamental unit according to the science of constructal theory. With sophistication, they become complicated. The nearest construction of the cosmos is dance. Both at first seem random, but
gradually when you pay attention, you can see synchronization. When we say dance is creation, then the creator becomes a dancer. When you look closely at the statue of Shiva as Nataraja, you will see a circle around him. A circle represents the cosmos. Anything in this universe
moves in a form close to a circle, naturally whether it is the planets, atoms, cells, etc. Therefore, bhagwan Shiva, as Nataraja, is a cosmic dancer.

Some masterpieces have aspects that are hard to imagine. One such masterpiece is Brahadeswar. How did our ancestors manage to roll up a huge dome-like rock of heavy mass to the top of the temple? Is it even possible to defy the forces acting as angular momentum at higher
elevations? While looking at the temple's antiquity, and the great mass of the rock makes things quite unimaginable. It's hard to say that what sought of technology did they used to pull up such a stressful task with impeccable perfection. Brahadeswar temple dedicated to Bhagwan

Yoga in Sanskrit is ‘Yuj’ which means to unite or to join. During yoga, the body and mind unite to form a single unit, along with the presence of the soul. The whole body acts like one. Yoga in Bhagwad Gita is said to be in equanimity. It is the ability to control and
stay calm in every situation in life. Patanjali has rightly said that yoga refers to the checking of mental impulses. He divided it into eight elements that comprised; Yama, Niyama, Asana, Prayanam, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.

If you are a Shiv Bhakt, you must have practiced saying your prayers in the ears of Nandi Ji. Bhagwan Nandi Ji is one of the dearests and closest ones to Bhagwan Shiva. Outside every Shiv temple, we can see Nandi Ji patiently waiting for his Aradhya. The word Nandi comes from a
Tamil rooted word Nandhu which means to grow, to flourish, or to appear, symbolizing the appearing of Nandi Ji or other white bulls. The Sanskrit word Nandi means joy, happiness, and satisfaction, which are the properties of divine Shiv-Nandi. Every Shiv temple showcases
Nandi Ji looking towards the entrance of the main shrine. Nandi Ji is a symbol of eternal patience and waiting. In Indian culture waiting is considered one of the greatest virtues. The one who knows how to simply sit and wait can achieve anything on a spiritual level and can
