Patanjali Nataraja Stotram

Background

Universe originated as a bundle of energy. Shiva is Energy. Universe matter and beings originate from the property of Mass. Vishnu is this property of Mass(1).

Universe's matter evolution started with Higgs field acquiring vacuum expectation value (vev), which enables it to interact with particles giving them the property of mass, which in turn leads to all matter and biological forms of this Universe, through evolution. This Higgs field acquiring vev is the starting point of all evolution. It can be called the reminder or residue that remains. How..?

There are multiple levels of annihilations in the Universe and multiple remainders/residues at every level. For eg. living biological beings die and become objects that keep chemically reacting. Here remainder of biological life are chemical reactions.

When the chemical reactions also die out, they become physical substances that get annihilated physically or very slowly chemically. The remainder of the chemical reactions are physical substances.

These physical substances may disintegrate into atoms and radioactively decay further into sub-atomic fundamental primitive particles over a period. Assume all matter is annihilated. What will still remain is energy and a Higgs field with a vev.

Since Higgs field is ultimate (and first if we look from the direction of origin of Universe) reminder of all, it is called Adi Sesha (2). It is on this Adi Sesha, the Higgs field with a vacuum expectation value, that Vishnu the property of mass reclines or rests upon.

When this Higgs field interacts with particles it leads to innumerous or endless fundamental/primitive particles with 'mass'. This form is called 'Ananta-Sesha'.

Ananta-Sesha is the remainder next to Adi-Sesha. So some purAnas depict Ananta-Sesha as the younger brother of Adi-Sesha.

Patanjali Nataraja Stotram (3) is written as Ananta-Sesha (the innumerous primitive particles with mass) looking at the dance of shiva/energy beneath it and describing it.

anjali means offering salutations/flowers/water to ancestors/departed. Pat-anjali is doing that to who resides below or our foundation.

The one that dances ever underneath everything, below all primitive particles is Shiva, the Energy. Hence Shiva, the Energy is called 'Nata-raja', the King of dance (4).

Patanjali Nataraja stotram describes this dance of energy below offering salutations to that dance that makes us all.

If in the evolution of matter, Shiva is the underlying energy, in the evolution of consciousness, Shiva is the underlying consciousness. Vishnu is the 'manas' that gives identities (ahamkAra) and knowledge (buddhi). So Nata-raja is also the dance of consciousness.

Executive summary of Patanjali Nataraja Stotram

From Patanjali's (ananta-sesha, the prmitive particles with mass that first appear) view, Shiva is seen as dancing Nataraja underneath. His body looks like a pillar of light with dark clouds (of particles) appearing as dark throat or like a garland of jasmine with bees swarming around at a place like a dark throat.

The feet of Nataraja seems always bent, moving continuously, happily moving, but at the same time steady in being the base or foundation of all (matter forms) of the Universe.

At the same time Nataraja is the ocean of consciousness that appears as the light in the 'manas' (in biological beings).

Shiva, the energy, burns up the 3 dimensional space through that dancing feet and creates innumerous lightened objects. As spacetime curvature (brahma) and property of mass (vishnu) dictates or plays the maddala, creating a laya, Shiva, the energy overcomes the temporary underlying excitations (kAma)(5) stage and helps build/evolve the Universe by being present in the matter forms and biological beings.

How is Shiva present in matter and beings..? The Soma or the strong interaction shines as 'Moon' creating the atomic nucleus above the ananta sesha/patanjali (which are innumerous primitive particles with mass). Shiva is also present as the 'ganges' or Kinetic energy that facilitates 'agni' or dhanaMjaya the fire, that moves energy between matter and beings.

Shiva, the energy breaks Yama, the electric charge(6) property of particles thereby building or breaking matter forms and thus facilitating evolution. Pranava, the baryon acoustic oscillations, help accumulate the energy for evolution by creating cosmic seeds.

Shiva is the sun (energy) and Universe is the lotus (that consumes energy). Shiva creates innumerous lotus and sun systems in the Universe. Hence Shiva is equivalent to innumerous such systems.

One who realizes that everything in this Universe is based on the dance of Shiva, the detached dancing energy underneath, is also the ocean of consciousness that shines in our manas, becomes detached and overcomes all pains and sufferings due to birth.

Science Summary of Patanjali Nataraja stotram

Always bent, happily bent, shortened, being the base/foundation, with unsteady jala-jala movement of katakam. Yet the basse/foundation is steady/unmoving as seen clearly (ointment eye) by patanjali (the massive primitive particles all over Universe) without any contamination. This base/foundation removes the 'birth'. Universe's space is called Kadamba vana as it sports globular clusters all over its space (7). All through the lightened up space (kadamba colored), the particle clouds look like the dark throat of shiva.

The ocean of consciousness, the one that enlightens the manas. Heartful worship to this external dance.

Hara (Shiva, the Energy is called Hara, because it burns up the three dimensional space) burns up the three dimensional space (tripura) making infinite 'kankanas'/ligtened up objects with no end due to its wide grace. It is the foundation meditated/thought of by Brahma (four dimensional spacetime) (8), Devas (forces, energies, matter forms) and Indra (immortal proton) (1).

He wears the young moon (Soma, the strong interaction in atomic nucleus)(6) as crown above the (particle) clouds. From patanjali/ananta sesha/primitive fundamental particles view, the strong interaction is above, while the energy excitations are below.

He breaks the Yama (the electric charges)(6) as primitive particles become electrically charged. He wears ashes all over, is feared by kAma (kAma are excitations overcome by Shiva (the Energy) and go underground as Universe evolves and becomes matter dominated) and is eternal.

Pranava (the baryon acoustic oscillations)(9) create the prosperity by accumulating. Heartful worship to this external dance.

This dance of energy protects the world from breaking up, beyond all the properties of matter forms and is imperceptible fundamental nature of energy. It manifests as the strong interaction (soma), flows as kinetic energy of all forms of universe, in the ten internal dimensions of matter forms, creates the biological beings and their offspring, hence being known as 'praja-pati'.

It 'observes' the Universe through exchange/transfer of energy (agni/fire) (10) of electrons and strong interaction in the core of atomic nucleus.

Different shining matter forms originate (navaratna) and react/interact with each other (make sounds) as dictated by spacetime curvature (gravity/Brahma) and mass (vishnu). Around this dance of energy, properties of mass (vishnu), thermal energy (karthikeya) (12), along with different impulses (munis) and forces evolve.

All the Universe's mater forms submit to that infinitely powered energy and is inside all matter forms (as potential energy) like space, earth, wind, moon, sun,

The external dance of Shiva looks like a huge jasmine bundle on which swarms of bees reside. The particle clouds that emerge out of the energy look like the bees and the energy is the jasmine bundle.

The forces produced by these particles with mass (ahi are forces produced by particles with mass)(11) look like kundalas/ear-rings around the dancing energy. Hara overcomes 'elephantine forces' (Higgs field) to produce matter and biological beings (pasupathi). The transfer of energy (fire, dhanaMjaya) produces prosperirty as matter forms submits to the energy.

Shiva, the Energy that originates the Universe is the oldest of sun-lotus systems (giver of energy and user of energy), the one detached from the rest of Universe though making it, one that filters off all the decaying weak forces.

Energy carries and moves all the Universe's matter forms like a 'chariot'. The horses that drive this chariot are the evolutionary wisdom (vedas). With chandika (in the form of chandika), Shiva, the energy fills the 3 dimensional space.

The peaks of energy excitation in the 3 dimensional space are the bow, the forces produced in different fields are the bow-string and the arrow released are particles with vishnu, the property of mass.

Shiva, the energy gives rise to several lotus-sun systems, though it is formless, because of fire it holds. Hence it is equivalent to several such systems and submitted to by all matter forms.

The dancing Nataraja form of Shiva, the energy is as seen by ananta (primitive particles with mass). The feet of this Nataraja has no permanent peaks or troughs (always oscillating) on which spacetime curvature, property of mass and all the directions of universe manifest and impact.

One who realizes this can easily get out of the pains and sufferings associated with our birth and death cycle as the 'big-picture' is seen.

Summary of Patanjali Nataraja Stotram

Always curved, happy contracted feet, with unsteady movement of kadagam, the 'ointment' for patanjali's eyes makes patanjali see (or hides the truth to patanjali), clear immovable base/foundation that cuts off the birth. In the luster of kadamba vana, dark clouds look like its throat. The jewel of ocean of consciousness that illumines the manas like sun. Heartful worship to the external dance of chidambaram.

Hara burns up the tripura, makes infinite kanganas, with no end due to his grace. He is meditated by braham, Indra.He wears the young moon, breaks Yama, wears ashes, feared by kAma and eternal, accumulated through pranava.

Protects the worlds from breaking up, above all the gunas and hence imperceptible, holds the moon, holds the waving river of devas wifully, eliminates the pride of non-evolving asuras, eliminates birth, spreads in all ten internal dimensions, creates biological beings and their offspring and hence known as prajapati, has eyes of fire and moon that rovers around, heartful worship to this external dance.

Endless navaratnas shine in the kataka which sounds as kinkini as the dance goes according to the maddala laya sound of vishnu and brahma. With vishnu, karthikeya, nandi, shringi, riti, bhringi kind of ganas around, sananda and sanaka kind of munis submit to that feet. Heartful worship to that external dance.

With infinite power, all the thirty divine forces submit, purely resides inside muni, takes form as clouds, space, earth, wind, moon, sun, the head of all sacrifices, infinite wealth/prosperity, the jewel inside the three worlds that burns up the three dimensional space, worshipped by sananda. Heartful worship to that external dance.

Throat appears like innumerous bees swarming a part of jasmine bundle which is his body. To this one who wears serpents as kundala, devas and their kind Indra submit to. Never moving out wide grace that gives wealth and prosperity. Slayer of Gajapati, the pasupati, to whom the fire submits to and praises and gives happiness, Heartful worship to that external dance.

Shiva, the best of Suras, that burns the puras, lord of pazus, gives rise to ganapati and shanmukha, with golden flaming jata, the oldest of all the sun-lotuses, the manas, the chandra, detached mind, one that swallows the poison that arise out of the ocean and hence surpassing all gunas, moon-faced that gives peace and happiness.

Unborn chariot of 'earth', whose bow-string are serpents, bows are golden peaks, holds sword, parasu, damru and a deer, vishnu is the arrow, horses are the veda, along with chandika burns the space, heartful worship to that external dance.

Prevents the formless, though unborn bears Universe due to its grace, holds the fire with flames, destroys the antaka and hence saluted by Indra, gives raise to lotus-sun systems, holy form that unites several of these suns.

These verses created by the best of the serpents (ananta), if read everyday, will lead to discover His feet which is beautiful and which has no peaks or troughs.It is the place where Brahma, vishnu and the directions submit to or praise. If we understand that underlying feet then we get ride of all the pains arising out of the birth cycles.
