Shiva is static and dynamic and creator and destroyer. He is the oldest and the youngest. He is the source of fertility in all living beings.

शिव प्रातःस्मरण स्तोत्रम् - प्रातः स्मरामि भवभीतिहरं सुरेशं
In the early morning I worship Lord Shiva who is the medicine to destroy the disease of delusion of worldly life, and who is the one without a second.
Shiva is static and dynamic and creator and destroyer. He is the oldest and the youngest. He is the source of fertility in all living beings.

He is omnipresent and resides in everyone as pure consciousness. Shiva represents the aspect of the universe that cycle through the process of creation, preservation, dissolution and recreation. He represents mercy and compassion and protects people from evil forces such as lust, greed, and anger.

He grants favors and awakens wisdom.Everything that begins must also end. Nothing is destroyed but the illusion of individuality. The power of destruction associated with Shiva is purifying, on a personal and a universal level. Destruction opens the path for new creation, a new opportunity for the beauty and drama of illusion to appear.

The power or energy of Shiva is Shakti, his spouse. Shiva is inseparable from Shakti. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva, the two are one consciousness and the absolute state of being.
Om Namah Shivaaya…
