Lord Nataraja has a two-sided image, like a coin. He's admired for his heavenly dancing form and his ability to manage its devastating power. Lord Nataraja often performs the Tandav, a cosmological dance, in a violent form.
There are nearly four levels of divine connections including Saamipya (closeness to divinity), Saanidhi (sensing the divine), Saarupya (recognizing divinity in all), and Saayuja (feeling at one with the divine).
Keeping the Nataraja statue at home can be devastating if proper rules are not followed. Be sure to keep the following things in mind 👉🏽
The Lord performs Tandav in joy or wrath. The best way to tell is by observing the Lord's face. Does he have happy lips and eyes? If so, keeping Nataraja at home is OK.
Vastu, the Ayurvedic science of design, recommends placing Shivlings in the home's northeast. Ishan corner is the perfect place to put up a pooja room (meditation spot).
Keep Nataraja sculptures alone, not alongside Ganesha or Shiva.
Mondays are for offering milk or milk-based confections to God. If that bothers you, meditate near your altar.
Honour Ganesha before praying to Shiva. He must eliminate obstacles to prayer's blessings.
