SHIVA MAHAPURANA
“Tell us about Shiva, the mountain God, respected Sutji,” Shaunaka would implore the master.
“There was a time when Shiva Himself told His story to the forest dwellers, and Vyasa, the bard, used his prolific skill to record the self-revelations of the Divine One." Replied rishi Suta.
"Oh i see, the revelations of shiva in his meditations?"asked Shaunaka
”When He sat alone, He was in deepest oneness, always. When He closed His eyes in self-repose, a most enigmatic dance presented itself to Him; a dance of Time; where the past and the future got animated as players and themselves entertained Him , like performers in a carnival. It had dawned on Him that He was an eternal witness, and thus too, the realisation that the story of all life, was actually His own story.

Shiva would tell the rishis of his own previous incidents.
Through generations of the rishi's children and the forest dwellers, the constant retelling of these narratives of the great forester came to be called the Shiva Mahapurana." Replied rishi suta.
