Shivashtakam
Raga: Mohana
Tala: Adi
“The source of all movement, Shiva’s dance, gives rhythm to the universe. He dances in evil places, in sacred, he creates and preserves, destroys, and releases. We are part of this dance, this eternal rhythm, and woe to us if blinded by illusions. We detach ourselves from the dancing cosmos, this universal harmony”
This is definitely one of my favorite pieces, as the music is very powerful! I was also happy to perform this piece for Aparana Aunty sinch this is one of her childhood favorite songs to dance to. Having a live orchestra and practicing with them to bring the performance altogether, is an amazing experience.
