The Nataraj (the dancing Shiva) is considered as the divine personification of the entire domain of arts. But if one observes it more closely, behind this dancing pose of Shiva, one can find a hidden cosmic secret.
The internationally renowned professor of nuclear physics, Mr Fritj of Capra could see this cosmic dance of Shiva as the secret of creation.
The description of his experience is given on the opening pages of his popular book The Tao of Physics. It reads as follows… “ I was sitting by the ocean one late summer afternoon watching the waves rolling in and feeling the rhythm of my breathing, when  I suddenly became aware of my whole environment as being engaged in a gigantic cosmic dance. Being a physicist , I knew that the sand, rocks, water, and air around me were made of vibrating molecules and atoms, and that these consisted of particles which interacted with one another by creating and destroying other particles. I knew also that the earth’s atmosphere was continually bombarded by the showers of ‘cosmic rays’, particles of high energy undergoing multiple collisions as they penetrated the air.
All this was familiar to me from my research in high energy physics, but until that moment I had only experienced it through graphs, diagrams and mathematical  theories.”
Sitting by the ocean, Professor Fritj understood that the philosophy of the dance of Shiva—the Nataraj, is the congruence of Science, Arts and Religion; which is the unmanifest or hidden knowledge about the cosmos.
