Here is a little more evidence that Parvati is blessed by Shiva, the god of dance: Parvati loves dancing. She tries to dance, with her little toddler legs, and tries again everytime she falls. She is entranced by the sound of music at a festival so much that she escapes the grasp of her mother and runs to listen and watch as an older girl dances. Parvati is so caught up in watching the girl dance that she forgets to breathe.
The song "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack makes me think of Parvati and her growing love of dance. It is a song about not missing the beauty in life. Parvati, who has been extremely observant since her birth, has missed nothing, and, as a toddler, has been able to find joy even as she stands apart from the other children. The song is about dancing, too, of course, which I hope I don't need to explain the connection to Parvati for.
