Cybertalk: Bodhinatha mentioned he is preparing to visit Atlanta later in the year, where a Siva temple is being built. His talks there, four of them, will be on Siva and this is the first. He spoke on the nature of Lord Siva, who is not just Rudra, the "Destroyer," as some wrongly claim. Siva performs all of the three acts, creation, preservation and destruction, plus two more, veiling grace and revealing grace, all seen in the sacred symbolism of Lord Nataraja, the Divine Dancing Siva. Siva is love, and love is Siva.
