[edit] Discussion

Straightened out the spelling of Shiva as a deity, and added a bit of info of Nataraja's flowing locks.

The image and the info on the locks was was from the dreadlocks page.

Hope people can expand on my beloved Hara's page!:) Om Namah Shivayee!:) --Snowgrouse 19:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, can I draw attention to what is surely most represented by the encircling fire (which I think needs underlining a little more) which is the destructive state of being lost in the senses, that Shiva avoids: as long as the attention is circumscribed by the dynamic silence of the self, thought and action are necessarily perfect. When it strays to the material universe such that it loses itself in attachment to the fruits of action, rather than returning on itself before reaching the objects of the senses, error is inevitable. Circumscribed or self-referal consciousness, knowledge already being complete within us and the divine, is the bliss and freedom of dance- compared with ignorance, fear and bondage lying just beyond. Shiva remembers the self (it always being there), the perfect poise between himself and the world established, and in renouncing internally gains everything: the material world per se, or maya, is just beyond the edge of attention. There's a huge array of ways of describing this though (inc eg dance being fundamental Dionysian over delusory Apollonian rationale)...! --Be without the three gunas, O Arjuna 17:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Sean McHugh

I've edited the article with slight expansions to the intro, and thus removed the context tag. I tried to point out all the possible info I could think of (consisely) at the beginning. If anyone wants to point out stuff that's still unclear, it'd be a great help.--Snowgrouse 15:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
