Shiva, the third member of the Hindu trinity, is one of the most complex gods and one who seems to embody contradictory qualities. He represents darkness , and he is said to be the “angry god”. The term destruction as it relates to Shiva’s cosmic duties can be deceiving. Often Lord Shiva destroys negative presences such as evil, ignorance, and death.
Shiva has a thousand names, and a thousand faces. Shiva is the essence of the Vedas, and the source of the Word. He is inextricably woven into all that the eye can see. He is the first among the gods of this world, who made the world so that others could make the things in it. Energy is his name, and he moves through all things, never static. All that is made, every generation of life, all the wondrous forms that fill our world, all flow from his dancing loins. He is not male, nor female. He is neither human nor inhuman. He has four arms, and he has none. Shiva’s nature at once transcends and includes all the polarities of the living world! 🕉🕉
