Kala - The Vedic Model of Time

“The very nature of the universe, the creation and destruction of every particle in the universe is like the cosmic dance of Shiva…” - Carl Sagan

When you enter the lobby of the greatest scientific instituition of the world, CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland, you expect to be greeted by some high-tech scientific apparatus or the commemoration of scientific achievements.

Instead, you are greeted by the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva known as the Tandava.

Shiva performs the Ananda Tandava (the dance of creation) and the Rudra Tandava (the dance of destruction).
