The greatest love story of all times is not Romeo & Juliet. It is the eternal love story of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti. The intense, all consuming love that impelled Sati to take rebirth and do intense penance to merge forever with her Eternal Love, Mahadev. Forever together, knowing no further separation.
Totally, agree with you. The first line that you wrote, that the greatest love story is not Romeo Juliet but of Shiva Shakti, I tell the same thing to everyone especially to all teenagers who are in search of greatest love stories. I am like just go throughout the story of Shiva and Adi Pararshakti, and you won't find happiness in any other love stories. Only Shiva Shakti's love story will keep you inspired and happy.
Truest 🥰
@@sutanwichatterjee2813 I am glad to hear that you too feel the same. I have always marveled at the Shiva- Sati story, from my childhood. That kind of love, or to be more precise, Agape, in which you completely forget your individual self and merge in soul with your love, is to me, the acme of love.
You are from Bengal,I presume. I am from Kerala. Two people coming from two corners of our Motherland and yet united by culture and shared appreciation for the love story of Shiva and Sati. This is how culture unites us.
Yes, truly ☺, and in order to merge into one another the acceptance and respect for two souls for each other is important, rather than being dominant, and the form Ardhnarishwar talks about respect, love and all forms of consideration the divine masculine and feminine has for each other. And I really thank Rukmini Ma'am to upload such marvelous dance forms. I really enjoy all her dance forms, but whenever she uploads anything on ShivShakti, I am literally on cloud 9 and couldn't stop feeling excited and happy.
This is Sage Kapila’s Sankya philosophy, Purusha and Prakriti as separate two entities. Advaita advocates one, Ekam Sat, all here is only Ishwara, only SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS.
Grow up Indian youth..these type of things actually need to go viral and attract viewers.
I can't imagine the level of dedication, work, patience and practice went into making this video. Felt like I'm watching a living Goddess 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The real truth is that people who says so are they themselves not sharing it on social media platform.this is actually a human behaviour of wanting others to start doing it first.We should do it first ourself.It nothing against you personally my dear.Namaste
Not an Indian,but I enjoyed the whole video. Such graceful dancer and loved her beautiful poses. It's a videographers dream,everything is so beautiful. I wish I could understand the meaning of the song.
People give the advice they themselves need most. Is it not evident to your ignorant self that Indian children, who study for an average of 14h per day would want to lay back and indulge in something less productive in their break? Is it amusing to you that people have different tastes, and might spend their time watching snippets from disciplines like Science or CS?
Please don't judge the young. Very few are lucky to be born in a family that has all the needed resources (free time and knowledge) to educate their children into wisdom while they are still young.
Let the youth grow up. Let them struggle to make a living, to have a family. There is wisdom at the end of this struggle.
Only then they'll be ready to see the core of the legends, traditions, philosophy, spirituality - and, if all the conditions are met, they willingly will choose a spiritual path.
I am an Indian youth and i don't mean to be salty but have you shared this with the youngsters in your family? It's annoying how everyone blames us kids for not taking interest in our culture when you the elderly don't MAKE any effort to pass down great traditions. All you do is blame our anglophilic behaviour.
When you dance ma'am...it literally feels like shiva and Parvati are dancing...especially the shiva part...not even male dancers can have that energy through them but when you dance the masculine part it literally felt like shiva was dancing...this was so extremely beautiful
O my god thank you so much for described for me I want tell same thing gussboms 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Frozenrose you described so well
awesome song and energetic dance.. thankyou and God bless you madam.. om namah shivaya. ..
I think it's good to understand that is everyone does have a masculine and feminine inside them. That is what shivashakti represents.
👆🏼💯%
Beautiful is that culture where feminine finds it's full expression and dance in freedom ❤️ Bharath.
🙌
Very true...
where girl is killed for saving family honour, girl is called paraya dhan, father pays heavy dowry to marry off her girl, where female labour force participations is quite low and very high number of adolescent girls are anemic, underweight and undernourished, where toilets are not available at public places. 🙏🙏
@@simply_wow3593 Your country Pakistan is in heavy debt, your condition has worsened, u don't have money to buy wheat and rice, still u r doing propaganda against India. Your own religion islam consider women to have 1/2 brain capacity compared to men. Women are forced to stay in burqa. They have no freedom of divorce and adoption. They are subjected to ill practices such as nikah, halala, triple talaq, why don't you talk about that?
@Kaushik Chakraborty and why are you shifting the blame elsewhere and not facing facts of the reality of what happens in many parts of India?
"Everything was you, and everything was me" - i literally can't stop crying 😭😭
"Everything IS you, and everything IS me". Всё продолжается.
Advaita will always be the epitome of all philosophies, humble pranam to Adi Shankaracharya
Real union
In this cold atmosphere, with the cold breeze, performing in this dressing without shivering, such a graceful, divine performance with perfect mudras...showing difference of parvati dance with grace and shiva tandav with stiffness.dnt have words to express my feelings..i always get goosebumps by your videos..
She is dancing at a high elevation, above the tree line. She is dancing in rareified pure air.
I don't know if anyone would believe me or not... But 2 years ago, when I saw this video, I was inspired by it. I felt an unique spiritual attraction to Shiva, and felt myself as a part of Shakti herself... I was just 12-13 years old then. But I felt an unique attraction to Shiva, and started to search for him inside and outside myself! I slowly became into dharma and spirituality. I realised the Shakti (energy) of myself. I was depressed at that time, but this gave me hope and within less than a month, I was out of depression. I fell in love with Mahadev... As if Shiva himself has chosen me for himself! I am still in a spiritual relationship with Shiva...
Well, I can't express everything in mere words but have written just this, since this video was probably the beginning of my spiritual journey...
ॐ नमः शिवाय!!!❤️🙏
The best way to show "Parvati" and her hard work, sacrifices and eternal love for Mahadev 😌
you are amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😌😌😌 om namah shivay 🕉️🙏🏻❤️
You became Ardhnareshvar.
You made it impossible for me to move my eyes off the screen......Just beautiful.
I felt and commented the same ...this is indeed Ardhanareswara at its best
Ma'am lord Natraja really dances through you, this is astoundingly beautiful and ethereal.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The environments, the singing, the dancing- everything about this was exquisite. This was a mesmerizing journey, a story told in dance; even without knowledge of the language, it sang to me in my soul. Very powerful!
Не реально красиво, это Божество!!! Такое ощущение что это настоящий Шива. Даже взгляд. Это не объяснимо. Так войти в танец . 🙏💕СПАСИБО
мне тоже показалось, что с небес спустилась богиня и танцует на земле.
💯% энергия Шивы 🔥
NAMASTÉ
STILLNESS IN THÉ STORM
FINDING PEACE WITHIN
WHAT À MARVELOUS TANDAVA
THANK YOU
NAMASTÉ
I am blown.
All I see is you....
You are present in the sun & the stars, the moon & the sky.
Flowers & trees, bees & birds. Wind, fire, water earth...
Everything is you....
And everything is.....me......
Thank you Rukmini Vijayakumar, for bringing to life the ultimate union of the male and the female in one body....the ardhanaari! What a body you have, how you train and absorb the spirit of your concept & texts into every cell of you being. Its not just the aesthetics and agility... not just the disciplined dance or choreography, not just the energy you infuse or mudhras or abinayas.... the totality ... the union of all things is so intense and intrinsic to this concept and your performance.
Thank you making me go mad.
Our concepts of Gods are so unique and inclusive. Wonder is any culture has a concept of Man & Woman being so equal. I love this love!
Ещё раз про любовь! Спасибо! Так близко к Богу...
Это не просто танец! Это история ЛЮБВИ! ОМ НАМАХ ШИВАЯ!
This is exactly what He is.. He is I and I am Him.
All I see is you. 🙏🏻
Everything is you, and everything is me. Very true
Beautifully made!!
This divine art must stay for generations. May the youngsters come back to Divine arts. No words to express the beauty of the dance. At times, I felt Lord Siva was dancing.
Every thing is Siva and
Every thing is in Siva.
We have to seek no further if we realize this sacred secret.🙏🌹🙏🌻🙏🌹🙏
Yes, absolutely true 🙏🙏🙏
And Mata Parvati is shakti
@@bhartiyavyakti6542 Siva and Parvati are inseparable. They are the two-in-one God known as ardha naareeswara. 🙏🌸🙏
We are all shivanga🧡🙏

Oh my God. My heart was literally throbbing through out the whole performance..and finally so much peace prevailed. What a dance. As if you met Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati resides inside you. It was so much divine, Rukmini Ma'am. Congratulations to the whole team for so much of hard work!

Omgg what a dance can't imagine living legend practice I can understand what kind it goess keep growing mam so inspiring
Every thing is you and every thing is me... Shiv Shakti Ki Jai Ho ❤
No one can stops and stolen our inner feelings with God's love.
Every living thing is a pot made out of the five gross elements.
Siva is the Air filling the pot both inside and outside.
We are all steeped in Sivam aka Auspiciousness.
It is a pity we don't realize that and go looking for Siva in towering mountains, ice cold rivers and green landscape.
I love it, very beautiful, powerful, thank you. I'm French, I dance one year and went to india and meet a Shaddu and finaly when back in France a Indian master :-)
I remember the first night at my hotel when I arrived in India, I was not able to sleep, I stay all the night the window open and breathing, listening India like I'm back to home....
Wow really
Rukmini your performance is mind blowing just one small request for u to teach and make more vedios about sanatan dharma philosophies 😅
You are doing wonderful work by strengthening our culture apka bahut bahut aabhar 🙏
intense.
The frames with the sun in the background with the dark shadow dancing ( almost looks like Shiva dancing ) 🙏🏼. Beautiful play of the dance btw Shiva and Parvati. Beautifully conceived and expertly captured. Wonderful vocals. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
Exceptional dancer! 💜

I loved your performance and the scenery and your raw elegance was stunning ...This was second only to your performance at Chidambaram in 2013 for Shiva... which is my all-time favorite and something I literally watch once every two weeks given my reverence for Shiva and the cosmic dance which to this day it's still as exciting as the first day I watched it. Namaste😊🙏💜
Amazing..
The universe does not have controlled access, and there is no boundary to attain joy. Excellent work

"everything is you, and everything is me"
This reminds of movies of Dada saheb phalke awardee K.Vishwanath garu where he used to try something like this decades ago. Songs like andela ravamidi, vedam anuvanuvuna nadam were similar efforts. Jai Shambho Mahadev.
So beautiful, love from Jakarta, Indonesia
Beautiful and so spritual. Just by dancing for the Lord you can be enlightened. Aum Namo SHIVAYA- SHIVAYA Namo Aum. 🙏🙏
