SHIVA, MAHADEVA-THE HUMANLY LOVING GOD
He is the One who has been prayed to, even when He was unseen. And ever since the very first time He chose to make His presence known, Shiva has been loved by millions.
He loved mountains. He loved to dance. He loved to wear His hair long. He was a simple hillbilly: good at heart, and He loved his fellow mountain men. But He was not considered in turn, a fellow man.
It was said of Him that He was God Himself—The Primal One.
He was said to be the Timeless Lord of the mountains and also the men He so loved.
He was Shiva, the Auspicious. Shiva, whose very presence was able to transform humans into demigods.
So many times on His mountain sojourns, He had chanced upon a singing shepherd, or a wandering minstrel, singing of Shiva!
Sometimes, as a bonus, even lovelorn women sang His praises, when they actually pined for another suitor; and He was amused by the stories He heard about Himself.
He, Shiva, was supposed to be the ultimate spiritual alchemist.But whatever He could see of Himself, was plainly human.He felt like a human; fond of the forest life, and like all the other creatures that roamed in the forest, always looking forward to more of it. Gods were said to be without desire, but He loved life!
He was,and is the most humanly endearing God of all, He, is SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller.
