Coomaraswamy, seeing beyond the unsurpassed rhythm, beauty, power and grace of the Nataraja, once wrote of it " It is the clearest image of the activity of God which any art or religion can boast of. " More recently, Fritjof Capra explained that " Modern physics has shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and death of all living creatures, but is also the very essence of inorganic matter, " and that " For the modern physicists, then, Shiva's dance is the dance of subatomic matter. " It is indeed as Capra concluded: " Hundreds of years ago, Indian artists created visual images of dancing Shivas in a beautiful series of bronzes. In our time, physicists have used the most advanced technology to portray the patterns of the cosmic dance. The metaphor of the cosmic dance thus unifies ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics. " == As I am located a couple of hundred kilometers away from the place. If the local cosmic dance turns out to be the global cosmic dance (however remote the the chances of it will be, according to the experts), will be happy to witness it first hand!
