What is Tandava, and what effect does reciting Tandava Stotras in proper rhythm have?
Tandava does not merely denote an angry dance — in the Shiva Tandava Stotra composed by Ravana, it represents Shiva dancing in joyous ecstasy before Goddess Tripurasundari to please her; reciting such Stotras in proper rhythm amplifies bodily vitality and facilitates closeness to the divine.
