LOVED BY MILLIONS
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.
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!
Women sang of Him when they wished to get married, because He was supposed to be, among many things, a God who lavishly bestowed boons on them to find a suitable groom.
He was much married Himself and the name of His eternal beloved, Parvati, was always fused into His own name.
So often was He referred to as ‘Shivparvati’, that this plural had become synonymous with togetherness.
