Snyopsis
You know that even before Sadáshiva there was dance, there was music; people used to sing, also; but everything was in a disorderly manner. The dexterous hands of Sadáshiva made it a science – rather, an artistic science.[1]
Anandamurti starts the discourse by stating that Shiva combined music, song, and dance into an orderly science. He explains that Oriental dance contains various mudras (postures) and tandava is its pristine expression.[1]
Anandamurti goes on by stating that tandava represents life, and tantra is the practice of overcoming darkness through struggle.[1]
