Shiva 6.5 inches

Shiva Nataraj

Shiva, whose name means "kind" or "gracious", embodies many contradictions: he is benevolent and ominous, meditative and ecstatic, a god of the universe and yet with a preference for certain earthly places like Mount Kailash and the city of Benares. Shiva is worshipped in various forms, as a great Yogi (Mahayogi), who practices asceticism or dedicates himself to meditation, as the great Lord of the world or as the Lord of the Dance, Nataraja, who dances the ignorance under his feet and destroys everything that is not based on truth and love. The current great cleansing period of our planet is thus symbolized by Shiva Nataraja.
