Hymn-Shiva Tandava Stotram (M. Venkataraman)
This is a hymn said to have been composed
by the great demon Ravana. Ravana committed the sin of abducting Sita and was
punished by Lord Rama. We all know that. But Ravana was also a great devotee of
Lord Shiva and he has composed this hymn praising Lord Shiva.
There is a story behind this hymn. It is
said that on one occasion Ravana tried to lift Mount Kailash in his hand to
take Lord Shiva along with him to Sri Lanka. To prevent this, Lord Shiva
pressed his toe. In the process, he crushed the fingers of Ravana and Ravana
cried in pain. And to escape from the act of Lord Shiva, Ravana sang this hymn
and thus pleased Lord Shiva.
The hymn represents the cosmic dance
of Lord Shiva that eliminates all negative energies. This contains 15 verses
each describing in great detail the various qualities of Lord Shiva and his
eternal beauty.
