A New Painting of Kadavul Nataraja

Last November, Amsterdam-based artist Pieter Weltevrede began work on painting a Lord Nataraja in his fantastically creative style. Recently Pieter sent us the finished work which is the result of countless hours of creative genius.

"O God of mercy who performs the dance of illimitable happiness in the hall of inconceivable intelligence! The Rig and other Vedas are thundering forth in words announcing to us that all are thy slaves all things belong to thee all actions are thine that thou pervades everywhere that this is thy nature. Such is the teaching of those who though they never speak yet broke silence for our sake."
Karunakara Kadavul 6.3

\"When the Creator dances the worlds He created dance. To the measure that He dances in our knowledge our thoughts too dance. When He in heart endearing dances the several elements too dance. Witness in rapture surpassing the dance of Him who is a glowing flame.\"Tirumantiram 2786
