In the beginning
Who Is Shiva?
TRANSCENDENT GOD
Shiva is the timeless God of the universe.
Before even the creation of our world, He alone exists; as existence itself,
and can be understood as the ultimate transcendence,the supreme being..
PERSONAL GOD
This supreme being,wants to become something,
So, He manifests the world as we know it,with himself the projector,
but alongside all that he creates,he enters the project as an embodiment,
much like the director taking a role in his own play!this is the step from Being to becoming.
He now involves himself in meditating and re-connecting with his transcendent Godness,
Such connecting is termed as “yoga”,and so, shiva who is the yogi par excellence, is replete with divine knowledge and power.
Shiva constantly deploys his powers and wisdom, his godhood,to uplift all his children , In this,he is goodness personified,and many who have faith in his immanence, worship him as their personal god. Shiva, therefore, also means , simply, the Auspicious.
