The monumental bronze Shiva in the collection of the Rijksmuseum is one of the greatest attractions of the Asian Pavilion. The Hindu god dances with elegantly curved arms, his left leg lifted high. His long locks of hair wave around his head. His face shows a serene smile. This specific representation of the dancing Shiva ? Nataraja, ?King of the Dancers? ? grew into one of the most universal symbols of Hinduism. It is all the more striking that no one knows why the Nataraja type was invented, why he looks the way he does, and what he really represents.0This publication tells more about the dancing Shiva in art and the development and meaning of the Nataraja image. It goes without saying that particular attention is devoted to the impressive Shiva in the Rijksmuseum, to his original function as a processional bronze and to the extraordinarily virtuous way he was cast ? which even with modern technology would be a true tour de force.

Nataraj (or Nataraja) is the dancing form of the Hindu god Shiva. The term means "King of Dancers" (nata=dancers; raja=king). This popular icon is highly symbolic, representing the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction, life and death. Lord Shiva performs his dance to destroy the universe to prepare for Lord Brahma to create anew, which is symbolic of old world views and lifestyles being destroyed to make room for a fresh, new way of being.

This is a full account of Siva's Dance of Bliss, which has become a popular symbol in the West for Hinduism and Eastern Mysticism. Siva is one of the two main gods of Hinduism, and his worshippers comprise half of all Hindus. Siva's Dance of Bliss is based on a remarkable Sanskrit poem written by Umapati Sivacarya, Saiva theologian and temple priest in Cidambaram, South India, in the fourteenth century. Starting with the bronze image of Nataraja, King of Dancers, thereafter the Cidambaram temple, its myth and its priests are viewed in the light of the poem. Umapati's Saiva theology is discussed in relation to his life and also in relation to Vedanta and yoga. The iconography and mythology of the Goddess and of other forms of Siva provide necessary perspective. Art from Cidambaram and neighbouring sites illuminates the text.

The Dancing God: Staging Hindu Dance in Australia charts the sensational and historic journey of de-provincialising and popularising Hindu dance in Australia. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, colonialism, orientalism and nationalism came together in various combinations to make traditional Hindu temple dance into a global art form. The intricately symbolic Hindu dance in its vital form was virtually unseen and unknown in Australia until an Australian impresario, Louise Lightfoot, brought it onto the stage. Her experimental changes, which modernised Kathakali dance through her pioneering collaboration with Indian dancer Ananda Shivaram, moved the Hindu dance from the sphere of ritualistic practice to formalised stage art. Amit Sarwal argues that this movement enabled both the authentic Hindu dance and dancer to gain recognition worldwide and created in his persona a cultural guru and ambassador on the global stage. Ideal for anyone with an interest in global dance, The Dancing God is an in-depth study of how a unique dance form evolved in the meeting of travellers and cultures.

Artists have long been stimulated and motivated by the work of those who came before them—sometimes, centuries before them. Interviews with 120 international contemporary artists discussing works from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection that spark their imagination shed new light on art-making, museums, and the creative process. Images of works from The Met collection appear alongside images of the contemporary artists' work, allowing readers to discover a rich web of visual connections that spans cultures and millennia.
