This Nataraja has a lovely backstory, involving a 3-hour taxi drive from Ganeshpuri to Mumbai. The driver strapped it in the front passenger seat so it was offering blessings as he drove. 🙏🏻🎉

I have heard of Americans moving to different countries. Today I heard of Rosie moving to Ireland and I know of Richard Gere moving to Italy. Why not India? No one moving to the holy land of India? Mumbai, near Ganeshpuri?

Indian village of Ganeshpuri, called them our samsara. These limit the formlessness
of anticipation that underlies sensibility. Our samsara reduces the uncertainty that
could serve as grounds for new perceptions and understanding of others. Pre-
emptive distortions reduce the bandwidth available for new information. They impair
the range of empathic relations with others as well as ourselves. These restrictions
in possibilities and choices are expressed in enduring patterns of behavior, thinking
and feeling that mental health practitioners call personality and character. When
confronted with these constrictions, the self justifying and diagnostically revealing
thought about a feature of one’s personality is, “...doesn’t everybody? “ This pride in
our shape contrasts with the teachings about emptiness of one of Baba’s favorite
Indian holy men, Zipruanna, who sat all day, loin clothed naked in a garbage dump,
instructing his students and followers about knowing and being nothing.

We quantitate deficiencies in formlessness using statistical measures of
entropy. They characterize the system’s behavior as a distance from the state of
highest entropy also known as maximal randomness. Professor Karen Selz of
Emory University did a study in which her human subjects, after taking a battery of
personality inventories, were asked to remove as many dots as possible from a
computer screen full of them in three minutes. They were to do so by left clicking on
each of them with the mouse key. Two seconds after a dot was removed, it
reappeared and became subject to removal again. As they went about the dot
removal task and unbeknown to the subjects, the orbit inscribed by their dot
removing mouse travels was recorded for later graphic representation and
quantification. Most subjects with the usual broad mixture of personality traits
inscribed a wide variety of orbital line styles: little wiggles, big wiggles, large and
small loops, little smooth slides and big and little jumps.

This was a favorite when I went to Siddha satsangs but it wasn't chanted often. Melodic. Greatest hits to me.

Too much to hope we might share two links in one post. Here's that Shri Guru Gita (with the candle). I had been listening to it so I joined it up late. Kumuda's followed. Kumuda's was sweet. I have often had issues there with Kumuda's but it was sweet last night. tinyurl.com/5cj2xaem
