Come dance the Tandava with me and you too will be free Creation सृष्टि I am Shiva’s Shadow स्थिति ..... I exist to support life’s precarious platform संहार  ..... I feel Creation’s seed.... cosmic genesis The first wave of flagrant eruption Ending in the the cosmos’s destruction. तिरोभाव There exists illusion Which gives rise to me The obliteration of ignorance. We live in times of ignore-ance Here I have little sway. Years from now....maybe. Until then, kali decides to dance with me. Primal संहार Destruction Bloodlust and Fire ******** and desire Quantum tantric tangle ***** the world’s funeral pyre Goodbye beauty, Goodbye love WE bring it upon ourselves, creating shells and building shelves to stack the wonton clothes of identity, the context of all hells. The layers are too many It collapses And if not, I'll ******* burn the scaffold. I know why I am here now.   To destroy tirobhava, all this pain is an illusion I hereby release this sickness from the world in prophetic burning grace of emancipation अनुग्रह is foretold To dance the sacred tandava say goodbye once more and end it all.

Namely Ananda Tandava, Tripura Tandava, Sandhya Tandava, Samara Tandava, Kaali tandava, Uma Tandava and Gauri Tandava. There are few people who believa that there are 16 types of Tandava. Tandava has vigourous, brisk movements.The dance performed by Goddess Parvathi is known as Lasya, in which the movements are gentle, graceful and sometimes ****** Guide to sanskrit/the order of the tandava as Shiva dances it.
