Worship of the concept of Nataraja is very deep and 100s of great songs were written about the science of nataraja, it is literally impossible to quote all the works of shiva. It is however compelling to quote a few of the western scientists and writers. “The Wave Structure of Matter Explains the Atomic Structure of Matter. The ‘Particle’ as the Wave-Center of a Spherical Standing Wave in Space” explains the cosmic dance of Nataraja.” “Modern physics has shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and death of all living creatures, but is also the very essence of inorganic matter,” and that “For the modern physicists, then, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter.” -Fritjof Capra in “The Tao of Physics”, 1975 Sir Jacob Epstein (1880-1959), leading English Sculptor, has written about Shiva Nataraja: “Shiva dances, creating the world and destroying it, his large rhythms conjure up vast eons of time, and his movements have a relentless magical power of incantation. Our European allegories are banal and pointless by comparison with these profound works, devoid of the trappings of symbolism, concentrating on the essential, and the essentially plastic”. Carl Sagan said : ” “This symbolizes creation of the universe, stars, galaxies and the human being.” Pointing to the fire in the other hand he added: This symbolizes destruction of what has been created.” He was wonderstruck on knowing the wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology. He added that the only tradition in the world to give a correct time frame and the concept of universe is the Nataraja tradition. Thanks Ajith Kumar for research:
