PASUPATINATH!!
Of all the titles of Lord Shiva, Pasupatinath is an extremely powerful one and it signifies a lot. He is the Lord of creatures,thus too this is a declaration of Him being the creator! It is a title given to Him by Brahma , when, accoding to mythology, he took birth as Rudra.He was Brahma's mind born son. Shivji is widely known to be a forester: he lives in the mountains and jungles. This is a very subtle way of saying that He is a keen Ecologist: he never disturbs the balance of ecology, He respects Mother Nature and all shaivites worship Nature as a manifestation of the Divine Mother Parvati.
This is the whole of the Shiva lila: Shiva and Shakti are the God And His Universe, of which we are a part.
Jai PasupatiNath !!
