What does NATARAJA idol signifies about Lord Shiva ?

Thank you for sharing

It's beautiful everything you share, I love your videos. Jay Bhagavan 🙏

Nataraja stands proudly within the grounds of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. 
The artwork is an artistic metaphor for CERN’s study of the “cosmic dance” of subatomic particles. In Hinduism, Nataraja is a depiction of the god Shiva as the cosmic dancer.

The little known story behind the creation of this image is perhaps instructive to only the most advanced spiritual seekers. Here it is:

"Mohini plays a lesser role in a Shaiva legend in the Skanda Purana. Here, Vishnu as Mohini joins Shiva to teach a lesson to arrogant sages. A group of sages are performing rituals in a forest, and start to consider themselves as gods. To humble them, Shiva takes the form of an attractive young beggar (Bhikshatana) and Vishnu becomes Mohini, his wife. While the sages fall for Mohini, their women wildly chase Shiva. When they regain their senses, they perform a black magic sacrifice, which produces a serpent, a lion, an elephant (or tiger) and a dwarf, all of which are overpowered by Shiva. Shiva then dances on the dwarf and takes the form of Nataraja, the cosmic dancer. The legend is retold in the Tamil Kovil Puranam and Kandha Puranam with some variation." - wikipedia/mohini

Really i feel this addresses the ego and vanity of those wno think that the sensual can somehow be extirpated from personal experience. Perhaps it can, but if even Shiva, the perfect renunciate fails to do it, then why do we suppose that anyone (except perhaps the old or bloodless) can - except by deceit - or that it is even particularly necessary or important to do so? An intelligent person would grasp this, but perhaps not a monastic or a woman.
The admitedly recondite point is further emphasised elsewhere;

"Another legend from the Linga Purana says that the embracing of love-struck Shiva and Mohini led to be their merging into one body. At this moment, Mohini became Vishnu again, resulting the composite deity Harihara, whose right side of the body is Shiva and left side is Vishnu in his male form.... In a Harihara image, the Shiva side has an erect phallus (urdhva linga) and relates to Shiva's love to his left side Vishnu-Mohini."
" Ibid.

A great video and wonderful explanation, thank you!

Super

To me Shiva's dance is much closer to us. It represents everyday's decision to fight or to adapt, and also everyday's losses which open the door to everday's gains. Every decision, every choice implies to let go of something, and life goes on in that cycle. It can be virtuous by understanding motivations and consequences, or it can be vicious by letting Mara to guide us with dellusion, easy and short lived lies. No need to fear, because that nature's cycle is by itself wise, continuous and unavoidable. 🥰🌻🇨🇷

I found a painting of Nataraja outside of my house and I am a musician so I thought I should keep it. This helps me to understand the new guest in my music room!
