They reside in Swarga Loka with Lord Indra in the upper planetary system and are responsible for managing universal affairs. Vasu means light or energy having a charitable attitude and being born with high virtues. They denote the Pancha Bhootas and also the sun, moon, and stars. The name Vasu means wealth givers or brilliance. They have massive powers to protect humans from all directions.

The Thillai Nataraja energy center is located in Chidambaram, a holy town in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. The lord, the dancing form of Lord Shiva called Nataraja performs Ananda Tandavam which means the dance of delight. Chit means consciousness, and Ambaram means sky. Therefore, Chidambaram means the sky of consciousness. Sky denotes Akasham, so Chitakasham is the state of supreme bliss or Aananda of the lord of Chidambaram, Sri Nataraja Swamy. The Ananda Tandava pose of Lord Nataraja symbolises five divine acts or Pancha Krityas of creation, sustenance, dissolution, concealment, and the bestowment of grace. Chidambaram temple is also one of the five dance halls of Lord Shiva – Kanaga Sabhai. The linga in this temple is Akasha Linga which represents the sky element. A puja in this temple blesses the devotees with mental peace, cures health problems, and ensures eternal prosperity for his devotees. Invoking the lord also hones a person’s artistic skill, gives immense knowledge, and shows the path to salvation.
Lord Nataraja is the cosmic dancer who represents the eternal dynamism of the universe. This is the dance of creation and destruction. He is an embodiment of the resplendence of glowing cosmic flames. The true meaning of the lord’s symbolism is hidden in the Nataraja idol. It speaks of the deep understanding of the universe. The scriptures proclaim that the creation, maintenance, destruction, concealment, and finally liberation are what the dance is all about. Enhance the décor of your home and worship this delightful piece of art to augment the creative senses and artistic qualities. It’s made of brass and about 2.5 inches in height.
