Shiva Spanda & Karaikkal Ammaiyar | Navia Natarajan | Kalavaahini

Shiva, which means “that which is auspicious,” refers to the auspicious effect of our contact with the unknown, the nameless, the formless, the great mystery, what is beyond all limitation, time, space and action.
Shiva Spanda intends to look at lord Shiva's multi-faceted personality, from the mythological to the philosophical, from the form to the formless.
Shiva Spanda
Shiva -The Great Mystery
Who is He -
Of matted locks, the three eyed one? The great Enigma who still plays as the I consciousness?
He is the divine creative pulsation.
The divine paradox.
The Pure light of self-awareness
Who dances and watches its own dance Through every One at every level.
The everything and the Nothing. Shivoham Shivoham.
