When the Earth Was In Danger 6

When the Earth was in danger 6 Prelude This story is based partly on the Indian mythology and partly on my imagination. The story theme is anger, which can destroy even the entire Earth, but if controlled it can also be converted into creative energy. The incident is from the mythology of Hindus, which speaks, how Shiva the supreme God of Hindus started one day his Tandava Nritya * or the Dance of destruction and how it was controlled … .. What was the cause of this anger would be explained in the concluding part of this epic. Part 6 Spring Goddess was stunned and speechless for a while, When the Earth noticed something new in Urvashi* Even the enchanting magic of spring too, was wondering with eyes wide open, The fall of Urvashi* may lead to an end, of everyone’s hopes and dreams, The only thought hovering on their mind was that the end of Earth was inevitable. Because the last of their hopes to save the Earth had fainted with the fall of Urvashi,* Everyone had started in their mind, the beginning of the reverse counting. They feared because of the fall of Urvashi,* which had stopped the Tandava* dance of Lord Shiva, The cosmic destruction of the Earth and the Universe would start, Any moment from the third* eye of Lord Shiva. 23 By then, Urvashi* and the goddess of spring had created an unprecedented intoxication in the air, The entire earth was under the effect of that wonderful wine of Nature, The enchantment had started mildly effecting Shiva,* and it had even started cooling down, the fire of anger burning with in Lord Shiva. The dance effects created by the magically dancing Urvashi * and the season of spring were in their full bloom, while unknowingly touching the mind and steps of Lord Shiva, The dancing steps of Urvashi* and the floating aroma of the Goddess of spring had started creating by then, a chain on the steps of Lord Shiva. The lava of anger in Shiva’s third eye Trinetra,* had started cooling down by then slowly. 24 Ravindra Kanpur India 09th March 2011 to continue in 7 Clarifications Urvashi* was one of the most beautiful Apsara of the court of Lord Indira of heaven, as per Hindu mythology. She was a perfect dancer & singer. Lord Shiva* is the supreme God of Hindus. Tandava Nritya* means Dance of destruction Third eye or Trinetra* means- The Third Eye of Lord Shiva or which exists in the center of our forehead. Lord Indira* - is the gods & Lord of Heaven in Hindu mythology. He is also the God of Rainfall.

I feel in my heart (and hopes) that Lord Shiva will continue to let his anger cool as he becomes enraptured by nature's beauty and the beautifuly dance of Urvashi. Please give us a happy ending to this incredible series, Ravindra. Many blessings and love, Carolyn

Hope that the story of Lord Shiva’s Tandava (Nritya) dance as imagined and sketched by me until now in these concluding parts would be liked by friends and by all those, who feel happy to learn and know more about other cultures and their beliefs. As such, open-minded approach and the desire to appreciate other beliefs always make your own beliefs and faith more and stronger. .....Ravindra
