Bodhinatha on Claiming Your Spiritual Identity, Exercise 1

April 4, 2010

httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4nAiQb7-zo

The Cosmic Dance describes the Hindu view of existence, from the first thunder of the drum in His right hand announcing the Beginning, to the final all-consuming flames in His left hand pronouncing the End, which but heralds a new Beginning. Thus, dancing with Śiva is everything we do, everything we think and say and feel, from our seeming birth to our so-called death. It is man and God forever engaged in sacred movement.

– Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
