OUR IMMEDIATE FUTURE THROUGH MAY, 2006
We have already secretly prepared a page which will be the future home of Nataraj's Den only. Much is to be done before then to let the community be vibrant, self-perpetuating, and minimally served without censorship of any kind. We also plan to connect our Gathering-place group to our peers in many other cyberplaces, including facebook, next, perhaps Deviant Art, and whichever other MAJOR concentrations of talent you suggest to us.
NATARAJ'S DENIZENS
* Of course, it's in our bedrooms that the real mingling, collaborating, deal-making, love, family, close friendship, and the most exquisite sex occur.
* BEDS in Nataraj's Den are offered to select spirits whose brightness, flickering multiplicity, exciting movements, or even hotness seething out to you from body, soul, mind, and heart have made them such a special ray of what Kalahari !Kung bushpeople call ntum, the personal fire which can entrance all senses and reach out to others, that they must surely have a place to rest and relax whenever they come home to their multiform, multigenre, multiracial, multifacial family in Nataraj's Den.
* OUR PRIMARY CRITERIA ARE:
1 Personal excellence of any kind - of body, mind, action, art, science, relation, or championship, and always, always, spirit whether divine or secular. Brilliance, openness to significant and usually rapid growth, active embrace of collaborations with other bright spirits, especially those who surpass us in one field or another. 2 Hospitality, inclusiveness, integrity, and desire for active collaborations, especially interdisciplinary ones which break boundaries and cross divisions to create new syntheses. Our Nataraj's Den Inclusiveness Policy follows below.
3 Preferably, demonstrated personal living through 2 or more cultures/ subcultures (new Denizens Adrian, below, is a Caucasian practicising Korean martial arts; new Denizen Shamanavi, beneath him, is a Native American composing NuSkool Electronica tunes) or a burning desire to do so immediately with the help and friendship of fellow Denizens from around the world, including Denizens DJ Tom and Profile Master of MySpace.
We especially welcome:
* Those who contribute seriously in heart and soul and career to The Biz or The Calling, producers, storytellers, directors, agents, models, actors, writers of every format including but not exclusive to playwrights, screenwriters, adaptors, novelists, journalists, documentarians, poets, translators, singers, dancers, composers, musicians, animators, videographers, virtual realists, and in the same breath, ministers and spiritualists, as long as you've emptied your heart in your work, which will be obvious to all, usually even those untrained in your specialties, and is the only way to make room for new fulfillment of your heart's desires.
* Global citizens, world travelers, jet-setters or gypsies, who have become far more than tourists, who have absorbed and carry with you the spice of many lands and loves, who have added foreign dimensions of feeling and being to your own on-going experience.
* Entrepreneurs
* Inventors
* Leaders in any field
* Peacemakers, visionary governors, psychologists, strategists, activists, philosophers who will actually influence a phase of human history with significant future impact
* Supreme athletes and martial artists
* Gardians and friends who bond witho animals, plants, or any of the other 6 or 8 kingdoms of molecular life
NATARAJ'S DEN'S INCLUSIVENESS POLICY
Nataraj's Den is an interfaith, intercultural collaborative community of artists, performers, biz people, entrepreneurs, visionaries who wish to enact their inspirations, friends and lovers, and those with intense senses, secular and intangible, for the wondrous variety and bounty of the world.
Nataraj's Den does not discriminate, and its Denizens are honor-pledged not to do so, on the basis of race, national origin, heritage, or affiliation, religion, agnosticism or atheism, spiritual identity, practice or participation, creed, culture or subculture, gender, sexual orientation or non-orientation, life, death, or life support, handicaps or alternatively-abled conditions, political, sociological, psychiatric, psychological, anthropological, zoological, horticultural beliefs or stances, diet, fashion, style, specific tastes, specific education or experience, or passions.
Nataraj's Den invites Denizens on the basis of heart, spirit, soul, body (with high aesthetic and presentation standards for models, front talent, and performers of all kinds, both in body at rest and in motion, and quality of bodily skills including song, musicianship, athleticism, deftness, grace), vision, mind, vibe, friendliness, expression and projection, desires, intentions, commitments, disciplines, habits, studies, inquiries, research, publication, project initation, sufficient attention to feasibility in project stages beyond concept development, imagination, associative talents (cognitive, interpersonal, artistic, intuitive, networking, haptic, spiritual, abstract), goodwill towards living creatures, inanimate things, and forces of all kinds, hospitality, gratitude, reciprocality, appreciation, palate in all media, and contribution to our actively collaborative community.
Most admired, though these are by no means required, and many Denizens are embraced who have contrary or alternate positions, are those who love and actively befriend their enemies, who reach out to those involved in areas of which the reacher initially is ignorant, those who change the paradigms through which we live in significant ways, those who have shown or are intent upon being bridge characters, personally, accepted into multiple cultures and subcultures as a peer, or at least a liaison or ambassador.
We speak in terms of "we" far more than in the voice of any one Denizen or host, and rather than distinguishing "us" from "you"; our use of "us" is always inclusive of all with whom we interact, as those who are not current Denizens may one day be Denizen's in Nataraj's Den, and we would especially welcome inviting those who do not initially receive or accept our invitation into our dynamic, talented, effective community here in MySpace or in the divisions being prepared across the world wide web and around this earth in OutSpace.

* We rarely accept celebrity or tribute sites unless you clearly and permanently state on your welcome page that you are personally webmastering a tribute site about someone or something else. Even then we prefer to be able to know what you look like as well as how you write and express yourself, and would appreciate a picture of your natural body in your profile.
IF YOUR PROFILE IS MANAGED BY PROFESSIONAL STAFF
