🧵 The Divine Origin of Indian Classical Dance | Shiva Tandava to Natya Shastra
Every mudra, rhythm & rasa is not just art - it’s spiritual science.
Here’s how Shiva’s cosmic dance became India’s sacred dance tradition.
👇 A must-read thread

It began with a DANCE - Shiva’s Tandava
Tandava is the cosmic dance of:
🌌 Creation
🔥 Destruction
🌀 Transformation
💫 Rhythm of the Universe
This divine vibration birthed Natya – the art of performance.

Brahma created the Natya Veda
Inspired by Tandava, Brahma compiled the 5th Veda - for those who couldn’t understand spiritual truths from the other 4.
It combined:
Rigveda(Speech)
Samaveda (Music)
Yajurveda (Expression)
Atharvaveda (Emotion)

Bharata Muni composed the Natya Shastra
Passed from Brahma, this scripture has 6,000+ verses on:
Emotions (Rasa–Bhava)
Mudras
Music
Angika Abhinaya (Body)
Stage design
Makeup
Nritya, Natya & Nritta

From scripture to stage - Classical Indian Dances 🇮🇳
Derived from Natya Shastra, India’s 8 sacred forms were born:
Bharatanatyam
Kathak
Odissi
Kuchipudi
Mohiniyattam
Kathakali
Sattriya
Manipuri

Not just art - Yoga in motion
A dancer becomes the temple.
Her body = mantra
Her movement = prayer
Her rasa = devotion
Indian dance = Bhakti + Jnana + Karma - all in one sacred offering.

What is Dance in Sanatan Dharma?
Natya = Drama
Nritya = Expressive dance
Nritta = Pure movement
Together, they reflect:
Universal rhythm
Life’s divine play (Lila)
Path to moksha (liberation)

Why this matters today 💬
Our ancient dance forms are:
✅ Scientific
✅ Spiritual
✅ Cultural
✅ Cosmic
In a distracted world, these are meditative tools for inner awakening.

🔁 Summary:
Shiva’s Tandava → Natya Veda → Natya Shastra → 8 Sacred Dance Forms
This is divine architecture - not folklore.
It’s a living tradition of dharma, devotion, and discipline.

🔁RT this thread if you’re proud of India’s timeless cultural legacy.

🧵 The Secret Clock Inside You That Controls Sleep, Mood, and Hormones.
Ever felt tired during the day, struggled to sleep at night, or experienced jet lag?
It’s all about your Circadian Rhythm.
Let’s explore how light controls your brain.
👇

Your body runs on a 24-hour internal clock called the Circadian Rhythm.
It controls:
– Sleep and wake cycles
– Hormone release
– Body temperature
– Mental alertness
This rhythm is synced primarily by light.

Meet your body’s master clock: the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN).
Located in your brain’s hypothalamus, it sits just above your optic nerves.
That means your eyes feed light signals directly to your brain clock.

🧵Bitter Truth: Ancient Indian Scientists Were Lightyears Ahead!

Modern minds revere Newton, Faraday & Einstein...
But the original minds who cracked the cosmos were from Bharat 🇮🇳

Let’s unfold a forgotten history that deserves the world’s attention👇#Thread

While the West was debating Earth’s shape,
🇮🇳Aryabhatt (476 CE) had already written that Earth rotates on its axis, causes day & night, and is round.

He calculated the value of π (pi) accurately up to 4 decimal places.

Bhaskaracharya (1114 CE) wrote about gravity centuries before Newton.
In Surya Siddhanta & Lilavati, he explained planetary motion, time, eclipses, and arithmetic operations.

He even calculated the time taken for Earth to orbit the Sun: 365.2588 days.

🕉️ THREAD: Reincarnation, Triguna, and the Supreme Nirguna Shiva

Sanatan Dharma explains the deepest truths of life, death & rebirth -not as belief, but as universal laws.

Here’s how Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, & the Gunas connect to YOU, your life, and liberation 👇

At the core of this sacred cosmology is:

Nirguna Shiva – The formless, attributeless Absolute
From this Supreme stillness emerge:

Brahma – Creator
Vishnu – Preserver
Mahesh (Shiva) – Destroyer

Each embodies a specific Guna.

Rajoguna (Rajas) – Activity, Passion
Embodied by Brahma, the Creator

Rajas drives:
Desire
Birth
Motion
Karma

Without Rajas, there is no creation.
But with unchecked Rajas, comes attachment and bondage.
