The statues of Shiva Nataraja, also known as Shiva as the Lord of Dance, came from the sculptors of the south Indian Chola dynasty. These statues, from the late tenth and early eleventh centuries, are some of the most significant icons from the Hindu religion. This important symbol bears all of the characteristics that Shiva represents: creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe. This religious piece of art, made using the ‘lost-wax’ method of sculpting, has gotten a lot more prominent since the twentieth century. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy wrote an essay in 1912 explaining the significance of the Shiva Nataraja, and why it was an important statue to the Hindu religion, but in a very different representation. After this essay, Hindu people started realizing that if they believed in all of the different elements of the statue, they would achieve salvation. This realization spread to all parts of the world. There are many different symbols present in the Shiva Nataraja. The symbols all mean different things, with one outcome at the end. Starting with the pair of Shiva’s hands holding objects, they contain two objects that mean the exact opposite of each other. In his left hand, he holds fire. The fire signifies the destruction of the universe, samasara (the cycle of death and rebirth), and of maya, or illusion. According to Hindu mythology, Shiva destroys everything at the end of each cosmic cycle. In Hindu mythology, fire is the method of annihilation at the end of each…

A single, all-knowing entity is central to the religion that I had grown up with. A god named God a figure of perfection who cradles the world. Watching over the people of Earth and holding control of what goes on with no-one sitting at his level sharing such an amazing power of creation. God made it all and holds so much faith from the people and for the people, but no matter what anyone says, I cannot bear the thought of giving all of my faith to someone or something so inhumanely “pure”.…

Despite her lengthy and very pertinent background in corporate strategies, her emphasis on a healthy alternatives “good-for-you” line rather than Pepsico’s typical “fun-for-you” products, met friction with shareholders and health critics alike. Indra made very valid changes to their strategies including the decision to bring on a director of global health policy as well as a chief scientific officer (Badaracco 5). These two hires were to develop dietary guidelines for the healthy alternatives…

Poverty is not linked with the members of lower caste only; they may also be economically better and strong than some of the members of forward castes. Therefore, caste, poverty and occupation must be taken into consideration and the 'means- test' must vary from time to time so that the change economics scenario must be taken care of However, both these tests have been held to have a relative value. The Indra sawhney Case has made the caste as a dominant factor ignoring its…

Within our society, one major characterization we make is whether or not someone is disabled. According to Oxford Dictionary, the term disabled means “deprived of some ability”. In Animal’s People by Indra Sinha, the main protagonist of the story is a young man named Animal. Animal suffered a twisted spine from a chemical factory explosion. This twisted spine prevents Animal to walk on his two legs, but requires him to walk on fours (his legs and his hands). He resembles the likes of an actual…

the yajna may not please Indra. Page 456 Gautama courted a great deal of pain for the success of this yajna. I also prayed Indra to fulfil Gautama's wishes. What about my wishes? I even didn't know what they were. I didn't worry about it, but for Gautama. I thought that our conjugal life would be wonderful if the soma yajna was successful. I would become normal and normalcy would return to the land of five oceans. The moment for the great enthronement arrived. The soma vines became lively thanks…
