Arudra Darshan Monday 20th December 2021

 



Every religion and culture of the world has one or more dancing deities.

The Greek Olympian Apollo is often called the ‘Dancer’ -- the god of archery, music, dance, truth and prophecy.

Zeus, the Master God of Greek mythology, dances frequently. One of the muses -- Terpsichore is a ‘goddess of dance and chorus’ -- her very name indicates that she delights in dancing.

The Semitic Canaanite god, Baal Marqod likes to dance and is even described as the ‘inventor of dance’.

Dances in celebration of god are mentioned in the Old Testament.

Mera is the dancing Khmer goddess of Cambodia. Shinto religion also has a dancing goddess called Ame-No-Uzume-No-Mikoto.

In the Indian pantheon, Siva is not the sole dancer. Krishna, Vinayaka, Muruga, Parvati and Vishnu also dance.

However, the dance of bliss by Nataraja is unique.
