Shiva
DANCES, For God's Sake
Sample Audio: Click Here (download time: 2-4 minutes)
Shiva,
the ascetic Hindu god of yoga and dance known as the Destroyer of Illusion,
dances encircled by a Fire Wheel, on the back of the demon Apasmarapurusha.
"The dance of S[h]iva represents the rhythm and movement of the
world-spirit. At his dance the evil forces and darkness quiver and vanish.
… Lord S[h]iva rises from His profound silence and begins to dance.
The undifferentiated sound becomes differentiated through the vibration
set up by the movements of His Damaru or drum. … The undifferentiated
energy also becomes differentiated. … All the spheres, the atoms
and the electrons also dance rhythmically and in an orderly manner.
Atoms dance in the molecule and molecules dance in all bodies. Stars
dance in time and space. … Various forms manifest. … When
the time comes, Lord S[h]iva destroys all names and forms by fire while
dancing. There is stillness again."( Swami Sivananda, Lord Siva
and His Worship (Himalayas, India: Divine Life Society, 1996), 62-63).
Designed for the community of seriously committed and therefore playfully
serious yoginis and yogis. Barry Sturgis outdoes himself in the technological
resourcefulness of this electronically composed and polyrhythmically
syncopated Hindu chant. 7 minutes of slow, gradual melodic warm-up;
10 minutes of serious, funky, get-down-and-party multilayered r&b
rhythms; 3 minutes of relaxing, meditative cool-down-and-stretch music.
Great for high-energy yoga, Dancekinetics, raves, world music dance
parties.
