Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Hello, It's Bill again. I wanted to say that in America we have a title for Yeshua(Jesus) called Lord of the Dance. And am I right in understanding there are images of Ganesh that echo the depiction of Shiva Nataraj? I thought I had seen one like this before.

Krishna loved to dance and play his flute. Nadaraja (Natajaja) simply means 'King (Raja) of Dance (Nada). Shiva as Nada-raja is a symbolic jesture of the Cosmic Dance - an explanation of the Quantum Physics. There are images of Ganeshna dancing and there is one in Nitin's article on Ganesha (an excellent article I must add) at - http://www.hindupaintings.com/ganesha.htm We are happy to have Nitin with us as a member. Alobar is well versed on Ganesha and I am sure he will enlighten us with some perspective of Ganesha the Dancer.

Alobar is well versed on Ganesha and I am sure he will enlighten us with some perspective of Ganesha the Dancer. Om ShantiAnanda Yogi Some things in life I find very strange. I first heard of Ganesh about 20 years ago. There was no internet in those days & most of my friends & colleagues were ignorant of Ganesh. I picked up bits & pieces of myth & legend here & there. Somewhere along the way I became more knowledgeable, but in my mind I am still a simple student. So when you said I was well versed in Ganesha, I immediately looked around to see who you might be talking about. After a pause, I accept that you mean me. Not sure well versed fits, but I have collected lots of oddments over the years & am more than happy to share. On my Tarot consultation table, I have 2 statues of Ganesh. One seated & one dancing on one foot. I was once told that when Ganesh is seated, he is seeing to it that karma is enacted. But when he is dancing, karma is suspended. Supposedly not good for long term growth to have the dancing Ganesh around the home. If family member are blocked from perceiving their karma, they do not learn as quickly. But sometimes one's life is so out of balance that one cannot perceive how one creates karma. It appears that shit just happens. By calling on Dancing Ganesh, the karmic buffering can cease (at least foe a while) so that one can have some quiet time in which to find center. Karma is not (IMO) dissolved or forgiven. Just put aside for a while until the person is better able to take on their karmic obligations in a much more conscious fashion. There are probably many other lessons which can be gleaned from contemplation of Dancing Ganesh & even more from dancing with him, I tend to work with the karmic lessons I outlined above.
