Śiva
Contemplation, transformation, the nature of existence.
We honour the three-eyed one, fragrant, who nourishes all growth.
त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्
tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam
Ṛgveda 7.59.12
Who
- The great yogi, still at the centre.
- As Naṭarāja, the cosmic dance of creation and release.
- Transformation, not destruction alone.
Reading the form
- Third eye: inner vision.
- Crescent moon: time, held lightly.
- Gaṅgā in the hair: grace, received and calmed.
- Damaru: the rhythm of creation.
- Triśūla: mastery over the three qualities.
Why is Śiva shown in stillness?
He is Ādiyogī, the first yogi. Stillness is the ground from which wise action rises.
Choosing a piece
