THE ONE

 

THE ONE

He is the One who existed even before the world began.

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.

Shiva is a storyteller’s delight. But because Shiva is hugely paradoxical, it comes as no surprise that, much as He is loved by the masses, there have been times when He has actually been maligned in some circles.This may simply be because of ignorance - a lack of knowing Shiva’s real spirituality. Ignorance is not always bliss; ignorance mostly leads to a fear, which then makes up its own stories.

But Shiva is not just a story,Shiva is a living spiritual truth. It became my call to write a book that gives equal emphasis to Shiva’s story and also reveals the fabulous mystic He has always been.
