Cosmic Dance of Shiva: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5hO8YFroLI&feature=related
This video is of an Indian girl dancing the Cosmic Dance of Shiva. Every movement of her body was a symbolic for the power and worship of Shiva. The third eye symbol on the girl's forehead is representative of the Shiva, both as the Destroyer and the Creator. Her movements are reenactments of the dance of the universe, as it continually is destroyed, only to be re-created again by Brahman. The placement of her fingertips in parts of the dance shaped the sacred syllable, OM, which symbolizes the beginning and the end. The purpose of the dance is to bring about a spiritual energy that exists in all of nature and the cosmos. The beauty and grace of the dancer is derived in the beauty and divinity found in nature.
