Lord Nataraja Story

Lord Nataraja Story

The word Nataraja is composed of two words Nata, which means dancer, and Raja, which means king. Nataraja is Lord Shiva in his dancing form, referred to as "Lord of Dance” and is revered as the ultimate symbol of cosmic energy, representing the triumph of the spiritual over the material. As the Lord of Dance, Nataraja embodies the cyclical nature of time and creation, reflecting the role of Shiva as the destroyer, preserver, and regenerator of the universe. Depicted in the iconic dance pose, Nataraja holds within it a wealth of mystical and philosophical meaning that has captivated the minds of humans for centuries. Nataraja has played a vital role in shaping Indian culture, religion, and art. In Hinduism, the story of Nataraja associates with the tale of Apasmara Purusha (Apasmara), a demon who symbolizes ignorance and ego. He had the face of a demon and the body of an infant. According to the legends, Apsamara performed intense penance and austerities to please the Gods. As a reward for his devotion was rewarded with the power to cause seizures and epilepsy in people. With his newfound power, Apasmara started creating chaos and terror in the world by inflicting people with epilepsy during everyday events of their lives. Affected by epilepsy and seizure, people started behaving differently, started being forgetful, and ended up in fights and arguments with each other. One day Apasmara decided to use his powers on Goddess Parvathi, wife of Lord Shiva. Realizing that her memory was being troubled, Parvathi indicates the matter to Lord Shiva, who uncovers the doings of Apasmara and decides to defeat him to restore balance and harmony on earth.
