Bengal is supposed to be land of logicians - during 15-16th century Nadiad district which includes nabadwip was dominated by Nyaya scholars. They call is Navya Nyaya 😊

Anyways, Baishnav has its own greatness. But how come you like Murlimanohar ?

Is that She - Maa Durga ?

Generally Nyaya philosophers (logicians) do not accept the puranas, They think it is more a myth. They wouldn't even use it as a reference/pramana, Are you one of them ? 😉

Part 5 (Concluding part)

Every devotee who worships Lord Nataraja should also pay obeisance to Maa Kali at the temple in the outskirts. You could see Sri Mahavishnu as Sri Govindaraja in reclining pose watching the Aananda Thandavam. It is one of the important Sri Vaishnavite temple (Thiru Chitrakootam - Diva Desha).

The Deva Sabha or the house of Gods in Chidambaram is also in the second prakaram, housing festival images of the Pancha Murtis such as Somaskandar, Parvati, Ganesh, Subramanya (Karthik) and Chandikeswar.

The outermost prakaram has the grand Sivakami Goddess temple, the Sivaganga tank and the 1000 pillared hall or the Raja Sabha. Goddess is quiet without much atention that Nataraja receives( Maa devotees ! you should visit Madurai :) and learn about Meenakshi, She is revered exactly like Nataraja in Chidambaram, In Madurai, Shiva is quiet as Kalyana Sundaram).In Chidambaram temple, The Subramanya shrine is also in the form of a chariot, and is referred to as the 'Pandya Nayakam'.

Rishi Madyandinar's son worshipped the Lingam, in the forest of Thillai or Chidambaram. He used to get up before daybreak and get flowers for Shiva. One day when he gets up, it was too dark to get the flower and in the daybreak the flowers were all polluted by the bees. This made him grief stricken. Lord Shiva gives him the eyes and limbs of a tiger so that he could see in the dark and climb trees easily to collect the flowers. Thus he came to be known as 'Vyagrapadar' and the forest where he lived as 'Vyagrapuram' or 'Puliyoor'.

It is said that the Chidambaram temple is consecrated under the auspices of Thirumoolar. I quoted one of his sayings in one of the threads here (marathul marainthathu mamadha yaanai, hope you could recollect...)
Shri Thirumoolar originally known as Sundaranatha, was a Tamil Shaivite mystic and writer, considered one of the sixty-three Nayanars and one of the 18 Siddhars. His main work, the Tirumantiram which consists of over 3000 verses, forms a part of the key text of the Tamil Shaiva Siddhanta, the Tirumurai.

Tirumantiram contains a synthesis of knowledge drawn from the Upanishads, Siddhayoga and the devotional (Bhakti) revival, yet criticises ritualistic idolatry and the external gymnastics of occult practice. It is deep, simple, cryptic and polyvalent. Legend has it that Tirumular was a travelling Shaiva saint and scholar from Kailash who used his yoga powers to transmigrate into the body of a southern cowherd, Mulan. He woke up from his yogic trance once a year and composed one verse until he attained salvation ( I might write a separate article on Siddhars depending on interests from readers). Siddhar's Yogic powers/Sadhana are just beyond normal human mind's comprehension - transcendent.

Just to give you an incident from Swami Vallalar (Great Yogi/Siddha also known as Ramalinga Adigal), His divine sayings/poetry is called Thiruvarutpa.

On January 30, 1874, He entered the room and locked himself and told his followers not to open it. He said that even if they did open it they would find nothing (United with oneness/bliss). His seclusion spurred many rumors, and the Government finally forced the doors open in May. The room was empty, with no clues. The Madras District Gazetteer published by the South Arcot District in 1906 records his disappearance.

After all this whole universe including YOURSELF is made of 5 elements, Can you NOT transform to another ?

Some facts on Gold :
Do you know the origin of Gold ?
Research by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) suggests that the Earth's supply of gold originated from collisions of dead stars.

Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all known metals. A single ounce of gold can be beaten into a sheet measuring roughly 5 meters on a side. Thin sheets of gold, known as gold leaf, are primarily used in arts and crafts for gilding. One sheet of gold leaf can be as thin as 0.000127 millimeters, or about 400 times thinner than a human hair. Only the most reactive substances can tug gold's 6s electron out from where it's hiding among the others, and hence not only the color of gold, but its immunity from tarnishing and corrosion are consequences of special relativity.

What keeps that golden twinkle bright?
Mass increase near speed of light!

BTW, Human Body has 0.2mg of Gold.

Scientists (Lehigh University article) have pinpointed where the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide occurs when gold is supported on iron oxide. CO oxidation is critical to firefighters and others who wear protect masks when entering a burning building. Carbon Monoxide is a toxic gas that gets converted to Carbon di oxide CO2 with the catalytic effect of Gold. It greatly reduces oxidative stress in body. Have you heard of Swarna Bhasm for anti ageing ? Gold is connected to planet Jupiter (Brihaspathi). Gold has extraordinary properties with in numerous benefits.

Do I even need to say wearing Gold is Good for health ? A small amount should be fine 😊 , just ensure not to attract thieves

p.s I am wrapping up creation and time article, with the above last part. I know there is LOT'SSS more... and readers do not want abrupt ending, but I need to end this somewhere. This article has covered creation/time from Shaiva/Shaakta perspectives. Hope you have enjoyed the write up thus far.

I read the Dance of Nataraj and this concluding part together

You are right. Knowledge needs to be shared can't agree more. Just that I am caught currently with work and music commitments
