THE DANCE OF SHIVA A KALEIDOSCOPE OF DIVERSITY CRICKET VS. BASEBALL India

Background Info on India Population: 1.1 billion+, second only to China with 1.3 1/3 rd the size of the United States World’s most populous democracy A nation expected to become wealthier by 2050 GNP/person only $1020 compared to US $46,350 Many well-educated persons, but over 40% live on less than $1.25 a day 80% Hindu, but other religions have members in the millions as well

Religious diversity A major feature of India Shiva is an appropriate cultural metaphor because it stems from religion Original religion of area was Hindu, and Hinduism and its traditions are still prominent despite comingling with other religions

Hinduism Several important deities that are seen as different forms of one Supreme Being Shiva (the destroyer) is one of these The Dance of Shiva was described as the “clearest image of the activity of God which any art or religion can boast of” (Coomarawaswamy, in Gannon and Pillai, 476) The Dance symbolizes the five activities of the Supreme Being: creation and development, preservation and support, change and destruction, shrouding and giving rest, and release, salvation and grace (G & P, 476)

The Dance Click above to watch the Dance Image from: vajranotes.wordpress.com

Why does the dance represent India? Represents the idea of cycles Belief that you will be born again and again; an “endless cycle of birth, life, death, and reincarnation” to eventually achieve mukti (salvation). (G & P, 482) Four stages of life: student, householder, retirement, salvation—may cycle through these in a day, lifetime, many lifetimes (482)

Why does the dance represent India? Can also represent the family cycle Many extended families left in parts of India Social cycles: dharma or duty holds people together, story of the man who loses the wallet on the bus ( ) Work and recreation cycle: Work is seen as one of the paths to salvation. (494)—though duty may lead to nepotism in many Indian corporations and businesses

The Dance of Shiva Celebrated at festivals Shiva binds together many despite the pressing issues of poverty, lack of gender equality, etc.

A Kaleidoscope of Diversity A second metaphor for India

What do you see through a kaleidoscope? Many colors, whirling around The Kaleidoscope is a perfect metaphor to demonstrate how India is a diverse nation with many customs, religions, music, people, etc. swirling around together (499)

Imagine… What might you see in the streets of India?
