Symbolic Meaning of Natraj
God Shiva in Bhujangatrasita karana pose. five most important elements, indicating the Panchakritya, or five key acts of the Nataraja.
Srishti or creation : The Nataraja’s rear left arm carries
Damuru, the vibrations of which create the universe. Some conflate this with the Big Bang of cosmic creation.
Samhara or destruction: The raised, rear right-hand carries the fire that atrophies matter to a formless state, only for regeneration. In that sense, it is the fire of transformation.
Sthithi or maintenance/protection: The open palm of the forehand indicates an assurance: There is nothing to fear about constant cosmic overhaul; change is normal and I’m here to protect you.
Tirobhava or concealment: The hidden lower-left palm pointing downwards says he’s the creator of maya, illusion or the veil of ignorance.
Anugraha or blessing or liberation : The raised left foot, combined with the closed hand, signifies the option available before the seeker: moksha or liberation from ignorance and, by implication, from the cycle of birth and death.
God Shiva standing on a body of an Asur/demon called Apasmara.
Demon at the Nataraja’s feet represents the evils of ignorance and ego, to be trampled upon if one must rise to a higher plane of self-actualisation. Therefore Shiva, in Nataraja form, keep on dancing, eternally.
Circle of fire : The frame around Nataraja is maya, illusion, as experienced through the cyclical phenomenon of birth & death.
