June 24, 2017
‘Deho devalaya prokto jivah prokto sanatanah’
The body is a temple. The life enshrined in it is the eternal Lord!
“Shivalaya, an extensive Bharatanatyam production, embodies the essence of Lord Shiva and His divine abode. This performance seeks to guide the audience through a spiritual voyage akin to a devotee’s progression from the outer periphery of the temple to its sacred inner sanctum. This narrative draws parallels between the physical journey and the metaphysical journey of the conscious mind, mirroring the intricacies of temple architecture prevalent in the southern region of India.
Throughout this artistic exploration, numerous references are made to the revered Shiva abodes steeped in the illustrious history of India. Moreover, the production shines a spotlight on the significance of chakras, elucidating their pivotal role in traversing the spiritual landscape within a South Asian temple. It underscores the necessity of aligning and activating one’s consciousness while traversing these sacred spaces, thereby elevating one’s spiritual faculties and nurturing a deeper connection with the divine.”
