Shiva Nataraja, Lord of the Dance

Shiva's cosmic dance sets in motion the rhythm of life and death; it pervades the universe, as symbolized by the ring of fire that is filled with the loose, snakelike locks of the god's hair.

Because You love the Burning-ground,
I have made a Burning-ground of my heart
That You, Dark One, hunter of the Burning-ground,
May dance Your eternal dance.
