Origination of Shiv Tandav Stotram

The Shiv Tandav Stotram lyrics were authored by Ravana, Lord Shiva's most ferocious devotee. Even though Ravana was an Asura, he had a pure Brahmin family and was a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. To get Shiva's blessings, he repeatedly underwent arduous austerities. Lord Shiva was waiting for Ravana on Mount Kailash. Although he made huge sacrifices, Lord Shiva never encountered him and did not grant him a favor or a blessing. Ravana set out to seize all of Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva because he was so proud of his strength. He advanced into the Himalayas before stopping at Kailasa's entrance. When the hill trembled, he disregarded Nandi's advice to refrain from doing so. While Mahadeva was meditating, he disturbed him. The mountain then collapsed, severing Ravana's toes, as Lord Shiva pinched his toe. To escape from shiva's Anger Ravana sang the Shiv Tandav lyrics in honor of Lord Shiva and pleaded to grant him pardon.

Ravana lifted Kailash to take home

It is a prayer that encapsulates Lord Shiva's majesty, beauty, and strength. awed by his genuine apologies and prayers. Shiva releases Ravana.  Ravana was a  Brahmin who chanted this prayer, which is actually in praise of Lord Shiva and is regarded as one of the purest prayers. He sang Shiv Tandav lyrics with complete devotion and single-minded attention to Shiva. So, anyone can sing it whenever they are sitting before Lord Shiva or wherever because Lord Shiva is everywhere. There aren't any restrictions.

The cosmic dance of Shiva refers to the energy vibrations that occur when Lord Shiva, the god dances in the guise of Lord Nataraja. Lord Shiva doesn't have an Adi or Beginning & Ananta or The End.  Lord Shiva assumes the Nataraja position and performs the cosmic dance known as the Shiv Tandava Dance. The universe is resting on Lord Shiva's lap, and Shiva's dancing Nataraja form represents the cycle of birth and death. It is the true style of dancing used by Lord Nataraja, the best dancer in the world. Even physicists believe that the universe consists solely of a dance between many particles.

Lord Shiva's Authentic look

The most accurate descriptions of sub-atomic particles and their behavior may be found in the Shiva Shastras, and what gifted scientists have discovered following the development of cutting-edge superpower tools like the LHC and Shivas Agama are already portrayed in Tantric literature. Strings and pulses are practically the same things, according to Karika, the first example of current string theory. And for this reason, at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Study), one of the greatest and most prestigious institutions for scientific research in the world, a huge metal Nataraja Shiva statue has been placed in front of the LHC. The spiritual embodiment of God before the greatest achievements of science.

Shiva dances with his Damru in great joy, the snake is tied around his neck like a garland, and the Goddess Ganga River is flowing from his head and neck in full force. Shiva, as we all know, holds a Damru, an instrument with a very special sound. the beat and sound of this Damru served as an outlet for Shiva's anger and delight. Damru uses several verbs, including "Damad," "Dhagad," and "Jhimid," to convey the sound and energy storm he creates when dancing the Tandava.
