This is what is purely intended to be an absolute dedication to Bhagavan, all 18 slokas of lengthy composition with complicated pronunciation, rendered with absolute perfection and synchronisation, with all immersion, by the little and beautiful Devi swaroopas in sindoora vastram and the balakas with their Guru, their inner radiance glowing through their golden garments, gracefully yet powerfully swinging their heads to the rhythms of this auspicious 'Shiva thandava stotram'.

What is left for us! the eager listeners, just to get engulfed in this supreme joy while the inner and the outer self dances in ecstasy to the tunes of this auspicious rendition, offered with all austerity and devotion.

When the heart just craves to dance to this beautiful rhythms, the mind does crave to understand the meaning of the verses that conveys the intense devotion of the composer.

Prostrations to the Guru and the little ones, innocently traversing their journey towards the highest.

Prostrations to the 'pillars' of VGP for their dedication in making this a complete, fulfilling and revered offering to Bhagavan.

[ajinkyapathak]

No raps
No unnecessary synthetic dramatic voicing
Pure music
No weird music
This is how a stotra should be
Thank you Kuldeep Pai ji and the shishyottammas

[angarasrihari]

This is called real music necessary to stand up and dance. No words to appreciate this. MASTER PIECE with Real Master. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[mithilbhandari]

These are true Children of Bharat, Om Namah Shivaya🙏❤️

[Jvs-eqiy]

I am past 90 and I bow my head to all these boys and girls as they achieved the nearly impossible.

[aumnamahshivya]

I'm a British north Indian, I bow down to. The lotus feet of these small bhagwans. south India has kept our true Santana dharma alive and proud and eternal. Aum namah shivya, shanti shanti shanti to the whole universe ❤

[musicbox]

I got goosebumps listening to it 😭. And my baby was kicking my belly when I was listening to it. Such is the vibration of this rendition.

[Known_amit]

First ever Shiva Tandav Stotram having complete 18 shlokas with errorless
Thanks for giving us...

[rajaramkn]

Wow. One word to sum my reaction.
What a start to the holy day of Maha Shiva Rathri.
After hearing this first thing in the morning, I somehow have a feeling that everything will go right today. That is the feeling you bring Shri Pai, to multitudes of people hearing your wards.
Avyaktha, Prakruthi, SriRanjini and Rakshita are old pros now with many hits under their belt.
Good additions of Nandana, Bhakti, Sarvarshi and Shrea.

Suryanarayan is his inimitable self, God Bless him. He brings a smile to my face, irrespective of the mood I am in.
Ishaan Pai's eyes are really dancing the Tandava, when he sings Shiva Shiva Shiva Shankara.
Advaith is a good mature addition.

As usual, the guru Shri. Kuldeep Pai looks contented, revelling in his Shishyas perfect rendering.
My salutations sir to you, my blessings to the young ones and my sicere thanks to the unknown and unseen ones toiling behind for the production.

I'm spellbound at the quality of this production! I understand how difficult it is to produce such a masterpiece! Yet the Master and the desciples pulled it gracefully with the Anugraha of Lord Shiva! Oh Shiva, please bless the Guru and desciples with lot of health and wealth! They are the future!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[shrikantjoshi]

गुरुजी आपको बहोत धन्यवाद

[vishalsarswat]

यह सम्पूर्ण शिवतांडव तो पहली बार सुना।मैं 28 साल का हो गया।पूजा-पाठ भी करता हूं, आश्रम में पढ़ हूँ पर कभी यह अन्तिम 14-16 वाले 3 श्लोक ना ही पढ़े, ना ही सुने।दुर्लभ स्तोत्र से पूर्ण परिचय करवाने हेतु आपका धन्यवाद
मैं आपका एक बहुत बड़ा प्रशंसक हूँ।

श्री शिवाय नमस्कारम् -- 3

[stutiagrawal]

I am so grateful and glad to my mother who taught this while we were kids. She used to put us in bed while reciting this shlok and we used to wait for it. Me and my elder sister were able to learn the entire shiv tandav even before we were three :))
We continued reciting it till we were 10-12 but then with more academia we were never able to actively get back.

I have heard so many versions of Shiv Tandav but nothing comes close to this. This melody with no auto tune and minimal music reminds me of my childhood. I long to build up that habit again of reciting the entire Shiv Tandav in a go w/o the slightest pause and hesitation.

It is strangely satisfying how it is still in my subconscious memory and I could remember most of it. I will listen to this more often and v soon hoping to chant it like the young Stuti 10 years back could :))

[chinnichinni]

ఇప్పటి వరకు మొత్తం 18 శ్లోకాలని తెలుసుకో లేదు 15 శ్లోకాలే చదువుకునే వాళ్ళం..మీవల్ల తెలుసుకుని రాసుకుని చదువుకుంటాం..
🙏 ఓం నమశ్శివాయ..

[hariyanaviabhinavhariyana]

मैं आने वाले 15 दिनों में इसे पूरी तरह याद करके महादेव की अर्चना करूँगा🙏
महादेव मेरी सहायता करें🚩🚩
जय महाकाल🙏🙏

[shrividyamukherjee]

I am stunned. I really am running short of words It took me a while to realize that I am still on this planet. 'Heaven on Earth' goes perfectly well!! Serene and scintillating at the same time. Have no words to express my gratitude. I was taken aback seeing the Remix of shiva tandava stotram and now taken aback again, but for a better reason. You are a true patron and right to your name, you truly are a lamp to our lineage, brightening day by day! God bless you and the vibrant kids. Simply stupendous. It is a real gift on this auspicious day. Jaya Shiva Sankara, Hara Hara Sankara
