No need totie tree branches to your head. Your kundalini shaktirises like antlers from your Sahasranama (crown)chakra! Dear Len ~ thanks for clearing up the history of the song, and, of course, Shiva is Lord of the Dance. I very much appreciate your inclusion of the Ursual LeGuin poem ~ how beautiful. And I would never have known that she had an interest in Hinduism. Shiva Ki Jai ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
